<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>

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

<p>The <code>STA</code> instructions now reference <code>BAS_AMPERV</code>,

(opcode $4C) to $1D70.</p>

<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>

<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>

<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>

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>

part radio button below the symbol entry text box,

to make the operand there say <code>>FUNC</code>. (If it says

<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>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>
