<p>That's it for the basic tutorial. Play with the program some more to see
what it can do, or do something wild like read the manual.</p>
<p>While you can do some fancy things, nothing you do will alter the
data file. The assembled output will always match the original.</p>
<h2><a name="advanced-features">Advanced Features</a></h2>
<p>This tutorial will walk you through some of the fancier things SourceGen
can do. We assume you've already finished the Basic Features tutorial.</p>
<h3>Split-Address Table Formatting</h3>
<p>Start a new project. Select the Apple //e platform, click Select File
and navigate to the Examples directory. In A2-Amper-fdraw, select
<code>AMPERFDRAW#061d60</code>. Click OK to create the project.</p>
<p>Not a lot to see here -- just half a dozen lines of loads and stores.
We can make it a bit more meaningful by loading an additional platform
symbol file. Select Edit > Project Properties, then the Symbol Files
tab. Click Add Symbol Files. The file browser starts in the RuntimeData
directory. In the Apple folder, select <code>Applesoft.sym65</code>, and
click Open. Click OK to close the project properties window.</p>
<p>The STA instructions now reference <code>AMPERV_</code>, which is noted
as a call vector. We can see it setting up a call to $1d70. 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 .ORG
statement, and change it from $2000 to $1d60. We can now see that $1d70
starts right after this initial chunk of code.</p>
<p>Select the line with address $1d70, then Actions > Hint As Code Entry Point.
More code appears, but not much -- if you scroll down you'll see that most
of the file is still data. 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 the JMPs away. This code is pushing a return address onto the stack.
When the code at CHRGET returns, it'll return to that address. Because of
a quirk of the 6502 architecture, the address pushed must be the target
address minus one.</p>
<p>The first byte in the first table at $1d97 (which has the auto-label
L1D97) is $b4. The first byte in the second table is $1d. So the first
address we want is $1db4 + 1 = $1db5.</p>
<p>Select the line at $1db5, and use Actions > Hint As Code Entry Point.
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 "FUNC". At $1d97, edit
the data item (double-click on "$b4"), click "Single bytes", then type "FUNC"
(note the text field gets focus immediately, and the radio button
automatically switches to "symbolic reference" when you start typing).
Click OK. The operand at $1d97 should now say <code>&lt;FUNC-1</code>.
Repeat the process at $1da6, this time clicking the "High" part button,
to make the operand there say <code>&gt;FUNC</code>. (If it says
<code>&lt;FUNC-152</code>, you forgot to select the High part.)</p>
<p>We've now changed the first entry in the table to symbolic references.
You could repeat these steps for the remaining items, but there's a faster
way. Click on the line at address $1d97, then shift-click the line at
address $1da9 (which should be <code>.FILL 12,$1e</code>). Select
Actions &gt; Format Split-Address Table.</p>
<p>The message at the top should indicate that there are 30 bytes
selected. In Address Characteristics, click the "adjusted for RTS/RTL"
checkbox. As soon as you do, the first line of the Generated Addresses
list should show the symbol "FUNC". The rest of the addresses will look like
<code>(+) T1DD0</code>. The "(+)" means that a label was not found at
that location, so a label will be generated automatically.</p>
<p>Down near the bottom, check the "add code entry hint if needed" checkbox.
Because we saw the table contents being pushed onto the stack for RTS,
we know that they're all code entry points.</p>
<p>Click OK. The table of address bytes 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 Edit > Undo,
then work through the steps again.)</p>
<p>The formatter did the same steps you went through earlier -- set a
label, apply the label to the low and high bytes in the table, add a
code entry point hint -- but did several of them at once.</p>
<p>We don't want to save this project, so select File > Close. When
SourceGen asks if you want to continue, click OK.</p>
