.TH MACROSS 1 "27 November 1985"
|
|
.UC 4
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
macross \- Macross assembler
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B macross
|
|
[ option ] ... file ...
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Macross
|
|
is a fancy macro cross assembler for the 6502.
|
|
.I Macross
|
|
assembles the given files in the order specified on the command line. Macross
|
|
source file names must end with ``\fB.m\fR''.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options are interpreted by
|
|
.IR macross .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-l " listfile"
|
|
Produce an assembler listing in the file
|
|
.IR listfile
|
|
showing the object code generated. If
|
|
.IR listfile
|
|
is ``\fB-\fR'' the listing will be printed on the standard output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-m
|
|
When listing is enabled, causes the assembler to include in the listing
|
|
synthesized lines showing the code generated by macros.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-g
|
|
Suppress assembly-time garbage collection of unused dynamic storage space
|
|
(may speed up small assemblies).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-d
|
|
Print esoteric debug information showing parse trees generated by the parser.
|
|
(Generally not of interest to the casual user).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-D
|
|
Print even more esoteric debug information showing parser states. (Almost
|
|
certainly not of interest to the casual user).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-e
|
|
Print esoteric debug information showing emitted binary as it is generated.
|
|
(Even duller than parser states).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-s " dumpfile"
|
|
Place a symbol table dump in the file
|
|
.IR dumpfile
|
|
at the end of assembly. If
|
|
.IR dumpfile
|
|
is ``\fB-\fR'', the symbol table dump will go to the standard output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-S " dumpfile"
|
|
As \fB-s\fR, except also dump internal symbols normally not of interest.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-h " dumpfile"
|
|
As \fB-s\fR, except that the symbols are dumped in the form of Macross
|
|
\fBdefine\fR statements.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-H " dumpfile"
|
|
As \fB-h\fR, except that it only dumps defined external symbols.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
If a symbol dump has been specified, have it include unreferenced \fBdefine\fR
|
|
symbols (these are not normally displayed in a symbol table dump listing).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-o " output"
|
|
Name the final output file
|
|
.IR output .
|
|
If this option is not used the output will be placed in the file `m.out'.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-P " processor"
|
|
Assemble for the target processor
|
|
.IR processor .
|
|
The allowed values are \fB6502\fR and \fB68000\fR. If this option is not
|
|
used \fB6502\fR will be assumed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
Make the object file produced be a linkable object suitable for use with the
|
|
\fIslinky\fR linker.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-p
|
|
Produce position independent code for the \fBelse\fP clause of
|
|
\fBif-then-else\fP statements. This is accomplished by emitting a
|
|
\fBbcc/bcs\fP branch pair instead of a \fBjmp\fP instruction.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-t
|
|
Be terse about error messages. Output no more than one error message for a
|
|
given line.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-u
|
|
Don't discard the temporary intermediate files generated during the listing
|
|
process when the assemble exits (used for debugging the listing facility).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v
|
|
Print the \fImacross\fP version number on the standard output before beginning
|
|
assembly.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-B
|
|
When generating branches for nested \fBif-then-else\fR constructs, generate
|
|
code like that generated by \fBa65\fR. This code will be slightly less
|
|
efficient but will be completely backwards compatible.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
slinky(1), the Macross manual
|
|
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The diagnostics produced by Macross are \fIintended\fR to be self-explanatory.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
Errors in the input may sometimes produce bizarre and unexpected results.
|
|
There are probably lots of bugs that are as yet undetected.
