Biggest changes were to the address region handling in Tutorial1 and the use of StdInline.cs for the inline strings in Tutorial4. Also, fixed the off-by-one error in Tutorial1.

<p>Some repetitive formatting tasks can be handled with automatic scripts.
|
|
This is especially useful for inline data, which can confuse the code
|
|
analyzer.</p>
|
|
<p>An earlier tutorial demonstrated how to manually mark bytes as
|
|
inline data. We're going to do it a faster way. For this tutorial,
|
|
start a new project with the <samp>Generic 6502</samp> profile, and
|
|
in the SourceGen Examples/Tutorial directory select "Tutorial4".</p>
|
|
<!--<p>We'll need to load scripts from the project directory, so we have to
|
|
save the project. <samp>File > Save</samp>,
|
|
use the default name ("Tutorial4.dis65").</p>-->

<p>Take a look at the disassembly listing. The file starts with a
|
|
<code>JSR</code> followed by a string that begins with a small number.
|
|
This appears to be a string with a leading length byte. We want to load
|
|
a script that can handle that, so use
|
|
<samp>Edit > Project Properties</samp>, select the
|
|
<samp>Extension Scripts</samp> tab, and click
|
|
<samp>Add Scripts from Runtime</samp>. The file
|
|
browser opens in the RuntimeData directory. Open the
|
|
"<samp>Common</samp>" folder, select the file
|
|
"<samp>StdInline.cs</samp>", click <samp>Open</samp>,
|
|
then <samp>OK</samp>.</p>

<p>Nothing happened. If you look at the script with an editor (and you
|
|
know some C#), you'll see that it's looking for a <code>JSR</code> to a
|
|
function that begins with certain prefixes. For ASCII length-delimited
|
|
strings, the prefix is <code>InA1_</code>. So let's set a label.</p>

|
|
<p>Double-click the <code>JSR</code> opcode on line $1000
|
|
to jump to address $1036. The only thing there is an <code>RTS</code>.
|
|
It's supposed to be a routine that prints a string with a leading length
|
|
byte, but for the sake of keeping the example code short it's just a
|
|
place-holder. Use the curly toolbar arrow
|
|
(or <kbd class="key">Alt+LeftArrow</kbd>) to jump back to $1000.</p>

|
|
<p>This time, double-click the <code>JSR</code> <i>operand</i>
|
|
("<samp>L1036</samp>") to edit the operand.
|
|
Click <samp>Create Label</samp>, and enter <kbd>InA1_PrintString</kbd>.
|
|
Remember that labels are case-sensitive;
|
|
you must enter it exactly as shown. Hit <samp>OK</samp> to accept the label,
|
|
and <samp>OK</samp> to close the operand editor.</p>

<p>If all went well, address $1003
|
|
should now be an L1 string "<code>How long?</code>", and address $100D
|
|
should be another <code>JSR</code>. This one appears to be followed
|
|
by an inline null-terminated string, so we'll need something
|
|
that handles that.</p>

<p>Double-click the operand on line $100D ("<code>L1037</code>"),
|
|
click <samp>Create Label</samp>,
|
|
and set the label to "<kbd>InAZ_PrintString1</kbd>".
|
|
Hit <samp>OK</samp> twice. That formatted the first one and got us
|
|
to the next <code>JSR</code>, at $1019. Repeat the process on line $1019
|
|
("<code>L1038</code>"), setting the label to
|
|
"<kbd>InAZ_PrintString2</kbd>".</p>

<div class="grid-item-text">
|
|
<p>The last <code>JSR</code>, at $1025, is followed by a 16-bit
|
|
pointer. Edit the operand, and use <samp>Create Label</samp> to
|
|
set the label at the target address to "<kbd>InWA_StringPtr</kbd>".
|
|
Because the bytes were formatted as an address and not a just a
|
|
16-bit value, a label was generated automatically.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>What we'd really like to do in this case is to have it format the
|
|
16-bit address as a pointer, and format the data it points to as
|
|
a null-terminated string. The StdInline script doesn't know how to
|
|
do that though, so you'd need to write a custom script. (Scripts
|
|
can format multiple data items, add symbolic references to labels
|
|
and constants, and chase pointers around.)</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The entire project is now nicely formatted. In a real project the
|
|
"Print Inline" locations would be actual print functions, not just <code>RTS</code>
|
|
instructions. There would likely be multiple <code>JSR</code>s to the print function,
|
|
so labeling a single function entry point could format dozens of inline
|
|
strings and clean up the disassembly automatically. The reason for
|
|
allowing wildcard names is that some functions may have multiple
|
|
entry points or chain through different locations.</p>
