<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><FUNC-1</code>.
|
||||
Repeat the process at $1da6, this time clicking the "High" part button,
|
||||
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 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 > 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>
