.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The WDC macro assembler,
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
provides all the tools and facilities to do professional assembly language
|
|
program development.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl 1
|
|
Version 1.0 of the assembler used slightly different control characters. In
|
|
particular, the macro concatenation character
|
|
.Ql |
|
|
was changed to
|
|
.Ql @ ,
|
|
the bit-wise inclusive OR character
|
|
.Ql ^
|
|
was changed to
|
|
.Ql | ,
|
|
and the bit-wise exclusive OR character
|
|
.Ql ^
|
|
was added. This option changes the characters back to the 1.0 versions
|
|
for compatibility.
|
|
.It Fl D
|
|
This option is used to define an absolute symbol at run time. The symbol
|
|
can then be used in conditional statements to change the code generated.
|
|
The symbol can be followed with an equal sign and an absolute decimal
|
|
value. If no value is specified, then the symbol is given the value one.
|
|
For example the following command line:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Nm Fl D Ns Ar COUNT=3 Fl D Ns Ar DEBUG Ar FILE.ASM
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will set the absolute symbol COUNT to the value 3 and the symbol DEBUG to
|
|
the value 1. Specifying these options is equivalent to the following
|
|
statements appearing at the beginning of the source file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
COUNT GEQU 3
|
|
DEBUG GEQU 1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Fl G
|
|
The assembler and linker can now produce source level debugging information
|
|
for programs. When this option is specified, the assembler will generate
|
|
special object file records which indicate the number of bytes generated
|
|
for each source line in the file. Information is also generated to
|
|
determine the source file containing the source line. This option will
|
|
increase the size of object modules generated by the assembler. The
|
|
.Li INCDEBUG
|
|
directive can be used to control the generation of source information
|
|
for included files. The
|
|
.Fl G
|
|
option creates the
|
|
.Pa .bin
|
|
file used with the WDC Debugger
|
|
.Nm ( WDCDB.EXE )
|
|
and the
|
|
.Pa WDCDB.INI
|
|
files.
|
|
.It Fl I
|
|
When the assembler encounters an
|
|
.Li INCLUDE
|
|
or
|
|
.Li APPEND
|
|
directive, the assembler looks in specific directories in a specific
|
|
order for the named file. First, the current directory is checked. Next,
|
|
any directories that have been specified using the
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
option will be searched. Finally, if an environment variable called
|
|
.Ev WDC_INC_65816
|
|
or
|
|
.Ev WDC_INC_6502
|
|
has been defined, then any directories specified in that variable
|
|
will be searched.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For example, if one of the following lines is in the
|
|
.Pa AUTOEXEC.BAT
|
|
file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
SET WDC_INC_65816=C:\eWDC\eINCLUDE;C:\eWDC\eMACROS
|
|
SET WDC_INC_6502=C:\eWDC\eINCLUDE;C:\eWDC\eMACROS
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
then, the command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Nm Fl I Ar C:\eMYINC Ar PROG
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will assemble the file
|
|
.Ar PROG.ASM .
|
|
If the file contains any
|
|
.Li INCLUDE
|
|
or
|
|
.Li APPEND
|
|
directives, then the assembler will look for the specified file in this order:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
current directory
|
|
C:\eMYINC
|
|
C:\eWDC\eINCLUDE
|
|
C:\eWDC\eMACROS
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
This option causes the path name specifying the name of the listing file to
|
|
be placed in the reserved word
|
|
.Dv __FILE__ .
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
This option instructs the assembler to generate a listing file that will
|
|
have the same root name as the output name and an extension of
|
|
.Pa .LST .
|
|
The format and output control of the listing file are controlled by
|
|
assembler directives within the source file.
|
|
.It Fl O
|
|
This option is used to specify the name of the output file. Normally, the
|
|
output file has the same root name as the source file, and the extension is
|
|
changed to
|
|
.Pa .OBJ .
|
|
For example, the command:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Nm Ar MYPROG.ASM
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will generate an output file called
|
|
.Ar MYPROG.OBJ .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl O
|
|
option is used, the output file name can be specified directly. For example:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl Nm Fl O Ar JUNK.REL Ar MYPROG.ASM
|
|
.Pp
|
|
will place the same output into a file called
|
|
.Ar JUNK.REL .
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Normally, labels that aren't declared global are not placed in the object
|
|
module since the assembler resolves all references to them. If the
|
|
.Fl S
|
|
option is specified, the symbols are included in the object file so that
|
|
the linker may pass them on to a symbol file that can be used when
|
|
debugging.
|
|
.It Fl V
|
|
This is the Verbose option. This option displays the amount of
|
|
RAM needed to assemble the program.
|
|
.It Fl W
|
|
This option causes a change in the default page width to 132, creating
|
|
a wide listing.
|
|
.El
