Remove comments, trailing whitespace, empty lines

[procedure] (strip-source SOURCE)

[procedure] (split-source-lines SOURCE)

Split raw assembly source code into lines. Helper for throw-syntax-error.

[procedure] (throw-syntax-error SOURCE REMAINDER)

Throw an exception for a syntax error.

parse the given assembly SOURCE and output the abstract source tree. SOURCE must be a string.

[procedure] (parse-source SOURCE TARGET)

[procedure] (make-assembly-copy _INIT-TARGET _TARGET _SYMBOLS _LOCAL-NAMESPACE _CURRENT-ORIGIN _AST _PASS _DONE? INITIAL-ORG)

Internal helper function. Do not use this directly unless you know what you're doing.

[procedure] (make-assembly TARGET-CPU SOURCE #!optional (ORG 0) (EXTRA-SYMBOLS '()))

Parses the assembly source code string SOURCE and returns an assembly object. TARGET-CPU must be a symbol identifying the initial target CPU architecture.

The resulting assembly object ASM can be called as follows:

(ASM 'done?)

Returns #t if no more passes are required to complete the assembly.

(ASM 'ast [AST])

With no additional arguments, returns the current abstract syntax tree. Otherwise, set the AST to the list of nodes given as the second argument.

(ASM 'local-namespace)

Returns the current local assembly namespace. Mostly used internally.

(ASM 'target)

Returns an asm-target struct defining the current target CPU architecture.

(ASM 'assemble MAX-PASSES)

Assemble the source, using a maximum of MAX-PASSES passes.

`(ASM 'current-origin)

Returns the current origin. This will be equal the initial origin if no assembler passes were performed yet. Otherwise it will be the address of the first byte after the assembled output if known, or #f in any other case.

(ASM 'result)

If no more passes are required, returns the assembled machine code as a list of integer values. Otherwise, returns #f.

(ASM 'set-base-origin ADDRESS)

Change the base origin to ADDRESS. This is useful for parsing the source without specifying an origin address. It has no effect once one or more assembly passes have been performed.

(ASM 'symbols [SYMBOLS])

With no additional arguments, returns the list of currently defined symbols. Otherwise, update the symbol table with the given alist of SYMBOLS. Previously existing symbols will have their definition updated, and new symbols are added to the table.

(ASM 'copy) Create a fresh copy of the assembly object in its current state.

[procedure] (assemble TARGET-CPU SOURCE #!key (ORG 0) (EXTRA-SYMBOLS '()) (MAX-PASSES 3))

Assemble the string SOURCE, returning a list of byte values. TARGET-CPU must be a symbol identifying the instruction set to use. #:org takes a start address (origin, defaults to 0). #:extra-symbols takes a list of key, value pairs that will be defined as assembly-level symbols. Note that the values may be arbitrary types. You can change the maximum number of assembler passes to run by specifying #:max-passes.

[procedure] (asm-file->bytes TARGET-CPU FILENAME #!key (ORG 0) (EXTRA-SYMBOLS '()) (MAX-PASSES 3))

Read and assemble the source file FILENAME, returning a list of byte values. See assemble for further details.

[procedure] (asm-file->bin-file TARGET-CPU INFILENAME #!key (OUTFILENAME (string-append infilename ".bin")) (ORG 0) (EXTRA-SYMBOLS '()) (MAX-PASSES 3) ;; TODO UNUSED EMIT-SYMBOLS EMIT-LISTING)

Read and assemble INFILENAME, and write the result to OUTFILENAME. See assemble for further details.
