A weird bug in the preprocessor of PicoBlaze Simulator in JavaScript

[FlatAssembler]

@HappySkeptic You know something about JavaScript, right? So, could you help me with this? I've tried using Chrome Developer Tools, and I still don't understand what's really going on in my program.

And, as long as you keep asking others to do your homework, you never will.

Some problems in programs can be diagnozed using basics of debugging. But some require advanced debugging. Such as this one I ran into when making my AEC-to-WebAssembly compiler. Or, apparently, this one. And we are taught literally nothing about debugging at the university.

I just merged the first pull request I got on my PicoBlaze Simulator: https://github.com/FlatAssembler/PicoBla...JS/pull/10
Apparently, there was a bug in the way I implemented the `sra` bit-shifting directive. Still, GitHub forks and stars won't help me pass my cybernetics test next week.

You caused the bug.  Color me surprised.

Yeah, I know, what does that mean?

You seem to use this excuse a lot to explain away your unwillingness to learn the things that will actually make you successful. When I went to school, they didn't teach AutoLISP, the programming language used to automate AutoCAD. So, I fucking learned it on my own. I learned how to diagnose errors and debug code, and sometimes, yes, I even asked for help. What I never did was ask, or expect, others to do my work for me. And, I sure as fuck never pestered any message boards (would have been BBS at the time, but still...) incessantly with my petty demands and excuses.

If you want to succeed at life, I sincerely recommend growing the fuck up and taking ownership of your own life and challenges instead of whining, complaining, blaming others and pointing fingers at everyone but yourself.

Well, yes, I made a small mistake when coding the simulator three years ago, and somebody at a university in Argentina was using my program, noticed the error and was able to get through my code and fix it.

Well, now you know where to go to get some of the help you need.

I don't think that what is happening to me in life is my responsibility. I don't think that my mother ending up in jail is my responsibility. Or that me getting a psychotic disorder preventing me from finishing the university on time is my responsibility. Maybe those things wouldn't happen to me had I made some decisions differently. But maybe they would anyway. It's hard to tell even in retrospect.
