<p>Consider the code at address $206B. It's a <code>JSR</code> followed by some
|
|
ASCII text, then a $00 byte, and then what might be code.</p>

<p>Double-click on the <code>JSR</code> opcode
|
|
to jump to $20AB to see the function. It pulls the
|
|
call address off the stack, and uses it as a pointer. When it encounters
|
|
a zero byte, it breaks out of the loop, pushes the adjusted pointer
|
|
value back onto the stack, and returns.</p>

|
<p>This is an example of "inline data", where a function uses the return
|
|
address to get a pointer to data. The return address is adjusted to
|
|
point past the inline data before returning (technically, it points at
|
|
the very last byte of the inline data, because
|
|
<code>RTS</code> jumps to address + 1).</p>

</div>
|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>To format the data, we first need to tell SourceGen that there's data
|
|
in line with the code. Select the line at address $206E, then
|
|
shift-click the line at address $2077. Use
|
|
<samp>Actions > Tag Bytes As Inline Data</samp>
|
|
(<kbd class="key">Ctrl+H</kbd><kbd class="key">Ctrl+I</kbd>).</p>
|
|
<p>Unlike code start and end tags, where you only tag the byte
|
|
where the code starts or stops, for inline data you need to tag
|
|
every byte.</p>
|
|
</div>

<div class="grid-container">

<div class="grid-item-image">

<img src="images/t2-inline-after.png" alt="t2-inline-after"/>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>The data turns to single-byte values, and we now see the code
|
|
continuing at address $2078. We can format the data as a string by
|
|
using <samp>Actions > Edit Operand</samp>,
|
|
setting the Character Encoding to <samp>Low or High ASCII</samp>,
|
|
and selecting <samp>null-terminated strings</samp>.</p>

<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>That's pretty straightforward, but this could quickly become tedious if
|
|
there were a lot of these. SourceGen allows you to define scripts to
|
|
automate common formatting tasks. This is covered in the "Extension
|
|
Scripts" tutorial.</p>
