The parser tries to read as much information as possible,
issuing some errors when needed. Errors generally do not
stop the parsing.
With some pathological input, it may result in various
panics when the error message itself is built, or when the
next operand is parsed. It happens while parsing
pseudo-instructions.
For instance, the following lines all generate a panic:
TEXT
TEXT%
TEXT 1,1
TEXT $"toto", 0, $1
FUNCDATA
DATA 0
DATA(0),1
FUNCDATA(SB
GLOBL 0, 1
PCDATA 1
Added corresponding tests.
Introduced a writer in the parser to capture error messages
for testing purpose. It defaults to os.Stderr.
Added an explicit check when symbol names cannot be displayed.
Interrupted parsing early when the number of operands is wrong for
pseudo-instructions.
Note that the last point is a change of behavior, because some
operands will not get parsed anymore in case of early error.
IMO, it is acceptable, because only the first error of the line
is considered anyway. If it is not acceptable, it can probably
be improved at the price of a more verbose CL.
