R

The assembler also produces a log file plus files that show the assignments for various labels and constants found in the source code. The log file shows the instruction address, the opcode for each instruction, and the source code instruction and comments for the associated instruction address. The assigned values for register names, labels, and constants appear immediately following the associated symbolic name.

Finally, the KCPSM3 assembler generates a formatted version of the source program (“pretty print” output). The formatted output file formats all labels and comments, converts all commands and hexadecimal constants to upper case, and consistently spaces operands.

Mediatronix pBlazIDE

The Mediatronix pBlazIDE software, shown in Figure 12-1, page 83, is a free, graphical, integrated development environment for Windows-based computers. Its features are as follows:

•Syntax color highlighting

•Instruction set simulator (ISS)

♦Breakpoints

♦Register display

♦Memory display

•Source code formatter (“pretty print”)

•KCPSM3-to-pBlazIDE import function/syntax conversion

•HTML output, including color highlighting
