6502bench Source Code Notes

All of the code is written in C# .NET, using the (free to download) Visual Studio Community 2017 IDE as the primary development environment. The user interface uses the WPF API.

The Solution file is called "WorkBench.sln" rather than "6502bench.sln" because some things in Visual Studio got weird when it didn't start with a letter.

The code style is closer to what Android uses than "standard" C#. Lines are folded to fit 100 columns.

The source code is licensed under Apache 2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), which makes it free for use in both open-source programs and closed-source commercial software. The license terms are similar to BSD or MIT, but with some additional constraints on patent licensing. (This is the same license Google uses for the Android Open Source Project.)

SourceGen Points of Interest

The main window UI is in WpfGui/MainWindow.xaml[.cs]. Much of the implementation lives in MainController.cs.

The top-level object for the project data is DisasmProject.cs. The Analyze() method drives the code and data analysis process. ApplyChanges() is the heart of the undo/redo system.

Source code generation and assembler execution is routed through AsmGen/AssemblerInfo.cs. If you want to add support for a new cross-assembler, start by adding new entries to the enum and data tables there.
