Adding Support for Infinite Loops in Sim8085

[debjitbis08]

Currently, Sim8085 detects and prevents infinite loops to avoid unintentional issues, but I’ve received feedback that infinite loops can be useful for certain scenarios. For example, this program to generate a square wave:

ORG 00H

WHILE:
  MVI A, 00H
  OUT 02H
  CALL DELAY
  MVI A, 01H
  OUT 02H
  JNZ WHILE

DELAY:
  MVI B, 0FFH
  LABEL:
    DCR B
    JNZ LABEL
  RET

The simulator currently throws an infinite loop detected error, which makes it impossible to run programs like this.

I want to hear from you—how do you like using infinite loops in Sim8085? Are there other specific use cases where this feature would be helpful?
