Mariani should limit characters that can be typed as a user symbol

[sh95014]

@Michaelangel007 would you happen to know what characters are allowed, and how many? The character limit seems to be 8 but I’m have a hard time working out what characters are legal.

(Right now the user can type whatever and SYM just fails to create it.)

What is Mariani? Ah, the name of your build of AppleWin.

Unfortunately I never nailed down a spec for what are valid characters for symbols. Most non operators may (should?) be allowed due to some assembler using ] as a valid local symbol.

The file Debugger_Types.h defines MAX_SYMBOLS_LEN = 31 which is the hard-limit. This is needed due to some of Bob Sander-Cederlof's Applesoft symbols.

There is a soft limit or a DISASM_DISPLAY_MAX_TARGET_LEN. See the func: ParseSymbolTable() in Debugger_Symbols.cpp which warns about long symbols names if you are running a DEBUG build of AppleWin.

Sorry, Mariani is what I call AppleWin for macOS because AppleWin for macOS sounds just a bit silly. :)

Thanks!

There are some of the long names:
