The Symbols Tab

VARIABLES

You can specify symbols for variables using:

•The address of the variable.

•The address and the size of the variable.

•The range of addresses occupied by the variable.

If you specify only the address of a variable, the size is assumed to be 1 byte.

Format
[VARIABLES]
var_name	start [size]
var_name	start..end
var_name	A symbol representing the variable name.
start	The first address of the variable, in hexadecimal.
end	The last address of the variable, in hexadecimal.
size	(optional) The size of the variable, in bytes, in decimal.
Example
[VARIABLES]
subtotal	40002000	4
total	40002004	4
data_array	40003000..4000302F
status_char	40002345

SOURCE LINES

Use SOURCE LINES to associate addresses with lines in your source files.

Format

[SOURCE LINES] File: file_name line# address

file_name	The name of a file.
line#	The number of a line in the file, in decimal.
address	The address of the source line, in hexadecimal.
