<sect>Detailed workings<p>
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Supported CPUs<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The default (no CPU given on the command line or in the <tt/GLOBAL/ section of
|
||||
the info file) is the 6502 CPU. The disassembler knows all "official" opcodes
|
||||
for this CPU. Invalid opcodes are translated into <tt/.byte/ commands.
|
||||
|
||||
With the command line option <tt><ref id="option--cpu" name="--cpu"></tt>, the
|
||||
disassembler may be told to recognize either the 65SC02 or 65C02 CPUs. The
|
||||
latter understands the same opcodes as the former, plus 16 additional bit
|
||||
manipulation and bit test-and-branch commands.
|
||||
|
||||
While there is some code for the 65816 in the sources, it is currently
|
||||
unsupported.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Attribute map<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The disassembler works by creating an attribute map for the whole address
|
||||
space ($0000 - $FFFF). Initially, all attributes are cleared. Then, an
|
||||
external info file (if given) is read. Disassembly is done in several passes.
|
||||
In all passes with the exception of the last one, information about the
|
||||
disassembled code is gathered and added to the symbol and attribute maps. The
|
||||
last pass generates output using the information from the maps.
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Labels<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Some instructions may generate labels in the first pass, while most other
|
||||
instructions do not generate labels, but use them if they are available. Among
|
||||
others, the branch and jump instructions will generate labels for the target
|
||||
of the branch in the first pass. External labels (taken from the info file)
|
||||
have precedence over internally generated ones, They must be valid identifiers
|
||||
as specified for the ca65 assembler. Internal labels (generated by the
|
||||
disassembler) have the form <tt/Labcd/, where <tt/abcd/ is the hexadecimal
|
||||
address of the label in upper case letters. You should probably avoid using
|
||||
such label names for external labels.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Info File<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The info file is used to pass additional information about the input code to
|
||||
the disassembler. This includes label names, data areas or tables, and global
|
||||
options like input and output file names. See the <ref id="infofile"
|
||||
name="next section"> for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<sect>Info File Format<p><label id="infofile">
|
||||
|
||||
The info file contains lists of specifications grouped together. Each group
|
||||
directive has an identifying token and an attribute list enclosed in curly
|
||||
braces. Attributes have a name followed by a value. The syntax of the value
|
||||
depends on the type of the attribute. String attributes are places in double
|
||||
quotes, numeric attributes may be specified as decimal numbers or hexadecimal
|
||||
with a leading dollar sign. There are also attributes where the attribute
|
||||
value is a keyword, in this case the keyword is given as is (without quotes or
|
||||
anything). Each attribute is terminated by a semicolon.

|
||||
|

|
||||
<sect1>Specifying global options<p>
|
||||
|
||||
Global options may be specified in a group with the name <tt/GLOBAL/. The
|
||||
following attributes are recognized:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>INPUTNAME</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
The attribute is followed by a string value, which gives the name of the
|
||||
input file to read. If it is present, the disassembler does not accept an
|
||||
input file name on the command line.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>OUTPUTNAME</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
The attribute is followed by string value, which gives the name of the
|
||||
output file to write. If it is present, specification of an output file on
|
||||
the command line using the <tt><ref id="option-o" name="-o"></tt> option is
|
||||
not allowed.
|
||||
|
||||
If no output name is specified, the name of the input file with the
|
||||
extension replaced by ".dis" is used.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>PAGELENGTH</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute may be used instead of the <tt><ref id="option--pagelength"
|
||||
name="--pagelength"></tt> option on the command line. It takes a numerical
|
||||
parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>STARTADDR</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute may be used instead of the <tt><ref id="option--start-addr"
|
||||
name="--start-addr"></tt> option on the command line. It takes a numerical
|
||||
parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>CPU</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute may be used instead of the <tt><ref id="option--cpu"
|
||||
name="--cpu"></tt> option on the command line. It takes a string parameter.

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<sect1>Specifying Ranges<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The <tt/RANGE/ directive is used to give information about address ranges. The
|
||||
following attributes are recognized:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>START</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This gives the start address of the range.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>END</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This gives the end address of the range. The end address is inclusive, that
|
||||
means, it is part of the range. Of course, it may not be smaller than the
|
||||
start address.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>TYPE</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute specifies the type of data within the range. The attribute
|
||||
value is one of the following keywords:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
<tag><tt>CODE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of code.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>BYTETABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of data and is disassembled as a byte table.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>WORDTABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of data and is disassembled as a table of words
|
||||
(16 bit values).
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>DWORDTABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of data and is disassembled as a table of double
|
||||
words (32 bit values).
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>ADDRTABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of data and is disassembled as a table of words
|
||||
(16 bit values). The difference to the <tt/WORDTABLE/ type is that
|
||||
a label is defined for each entry in the table.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>RTSTABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of data and is disassembled as a table of words (16 bit
|
||||
values). The values are interpreted as words that are pushed onto the
|
||||
stack and jump to it via <tt/RTS/. This means that they contain
|
||||
<tt/address-1/ of a function, for which a label will get defined by the
|
||||
disassembler.
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>TEXTTABLE</tt></tag>
|
||||
The range consists of readable text.

|

|

|
||||
<sect1>Specifying Labels<p>
|
||||
|
||||
The <tt/LABEL/ directive is used to give names for labels in the disassembled
|
||||
code. The following attributes are recognized:
|
||||
|
||||
<descrip>
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>NAME</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
The attribute is followed by a string value which gives the name of the
|
||||
label.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>ADDR</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
Followed by a numerical value. Specifies the value of the label.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<tag><tt>SIZE</tt></tag>
|
||||
|
||||
This attribute is optional and may be used to specifiy the size of the data
|
||||
that follows. If a size greater than 1 is specified, the disassembler will
|
||||
create labels in the form <tt/label+offs/ for all bytes within the given
|
||||
range, where <tt/label/ is the label name given with the <tt/NAME/
|
||||
attribute, and <tt/offs/ is the offset within the data.
