<h2>Address Tables</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div class="grid-container">
|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>Code often contains tables of addresses to code or data.
|
|
Formatting them one at a time can be tedious, so SourceGen
|
|
provides a faster way. For this tutorial we'll start by labeling
|
|
and tagging a single entry by hand, then do the rest in one shot.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Start a new project. Select the Apple //e platform, click
|
|
<samp>Select File</samp> and navigate to the 6502bench Examples directory.
|
|
In the "A2-Amper-fdraw" directory, select the file "AMPERFDRAW#061d60"
|
|
(just ignore the existing .dis65 file).
|
|
Click <samp>OK</samp> to create the project.</p>
|
|

<img src="images/t3-initial.png" alt="t3-initial"/>
|

</div>
|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>Not a lot to see here -- just half a dozen lines of loads and stores,
|
|
then nothing but data.
|
|
This particular program interfaces with Applesoft BASIC, so we can make it
|
|
a bit more meaningful by loading an additional platform
|
|
symbol file.</p>

</div>
|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>Select <samp>Edit > Project Properties</samp>, then the
|
|
<samp>Symbol Files</samp> tab. Click <samp>Add Symbol Files from Runtime</samp>.
|
|
The file browser starts in the "RuntimeData" directory.
|
|
Open the "Apple" folder, then select "Applesoft.sym65",
|
|
and click <samp>Open</samp>. Click <samp>OK</samp> to close
|
|
the project properties window.</p>

<p>The <code>STA</code> instructions now reference <code>BAS_AMPERV</code>,
|
|
which is noted as a code vector. We can see the code setting up a jump
|
|
(opcode $4C) to $1D70.</p>

|
|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>As it happens, the start address of the code
|
|
is $1D60 -- the last four digits of the filename -- so let's make that
|
|
change. Double-click the initial <code>.ORG</code> statement,
|
|
and change it from $2000 to $1D60. We can now see that $1D70 starts
|
|
right after this initial chunk of code.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|

|
|
<div class="grid-container">

<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>Select the line with address $1D70, then
|
|
<samp>Actions > Tag Address As Code Start Point</samp>.
|
|
More code appears, but not much -- if you scroll down you'll see that most
|
|
of the file is still data.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The code at $1D70 searches through a table at
|
|
$1D88 for a match with the contents of the accumulator. If it finds a match,
|
|
it loads bytes from tables at $1DA6 and $1D97, pushes them on the stack,
|
|
and then <code>JMP</code>s away. This code is pushing a return address onto the stack.
|
|
When the code at <code>BAS_CHRGET</code> returns, it'll return to that
|
|
address. Because of a quirk of the 6502 architecture, the address pushed
|
|
must be the desired address minus one.</p>

|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>The first byte in the first address table at $1D97 (which
|
|
has the auto-label <code>L1D97</code>) is $B4.
|
|
The first byte in the second table is $1D. So the first
|
|
address we want is $1DB4 + 1 = $1DB5.</p>

<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>Select the line at $1DB5, and use
|
|
<samp>Actions > Tag Address As Code Start Point</samp>.
|
|
More code appears, but again it's only a few lines. Let's dress this one
|
|
up a bit. Set a label on the code at $1DB5 called "<kbd>FUNC</kbd>".
|
|
Then, at $1D97, edit the data item (double-click on "<samp>$B4</samp>"),
|
|
click <samp>Single bytes</samp>, then type "<kbd>FUNC</kbd>"
|
|
(note the text field gets focus immediately, and the radio button
|
|
automatically switches to <samp>symbolic reference</samp> when you start typing).
|
|
Click <samp>OK</samp>.</p>

|
<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>The operand at $1D97 should now say <code><FUNC-1</code>.
|
|
Repeat the process at $1DA6, this time clicking the <samp>High</samp>
|
|
part radio button below the symbol entry text box,
|
|
to make the operand there say <code>>FUNC</code>. (If it says
|
|
<code><FUNC-152</code>, you forgot to select the high part.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>We've now changed the first entry in the address table to a
|
|
symbolic reference, which is helps someone reading the code to
|
|
understand what is being referenced. You could repeat these
|
|
steps (tag as code, set label, change address bytes to symbols)
|
|
for the remaining items, but there's an easier way.</p>

<p>Click on the line at address $1D97, then shift-click the line at

<samp>Actions > Format Address Table</samp>.</p>

<p>Contrary to first impressions, this imposing dialog does not allow you
|
|
to launch objects into orbit. There are a variety of common ways to
|
|
structure an address table, all of which are handled here. You can

configure the various parameters and see the effects as you make

each change.</p>

<p>The message at the top should indicate that there are 30 bytes

selected. In <samp>Address Characteristics</samp>, click the
|
|
<samp>Parts are split across sub-tables</samp> checkbox and the
|
|
<samp>Adjusted for RTS/RTL</samp> checkbox.
|
|
As soon as you do, the first line of the <samp>Generated Addresses</samp>
|
|
list should show the symbol "<code>FUNC</code>".
|
|
The rest of the addresses will look like
|
|
"<code>(+) T1DD0</code>". The "(+)" means that a label was not found at
|
|
that location, so a new global label will be generated automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Down near the bottom, check the
|
|
<samp>Tag targets as code start points</samp> checkbox.
|

Because we saw the table contents being pushed onto the stack for
|

<code>RTS</code>, we know that they're all code entry points.</p>

<p>The table of address bytes at $1D97 should now all be
|
|
references to symbols -- 15 low parts followed by 15 high parts. If you
|
|
scroll down, you should see nothing but instructions until you get to the
|
|
last dozen bytes at the end of the file. (If this isn't the case, use

<samp>Edit > Undo</samp>, then work through the steps again.)</p>

<p>The formatter did the same series of actions you went through earlier,

<!-- set a

label, apply the label to the low and high bytes in the table, add a

|
code start point tag -->
|
|
but applied them to multiple locations in one shot. The next step in
|
|
the disassembly process would be to rename the "Tnnnn" labels to

|
something more meaninful.</p>
