QUESTION
I've been putting together my own disassembler for Sega Mega Drive ROMs, basing my initial work on the MOTOROLA M68000 FAMILY Programmer’s Reference Manual. Having disassembled a considerable chunk of the ROM, I've attempted to reassemble this disassembled output, using VASM as it can accept the Motorola assembly syntax, using its mot
syntax module.
Now, for the vast majority of the reassembly, this has worked well, however there is one wrinkle with operations that have effective addresses defined by the "Program Counter Indirect with Index (8-Bit Displacement) Mode". Given that I'm only now learning Motorola 68000 assembly, I wanted to confirm my understanding and to ask: what is the proper syntax for these operations?
InterpretationFor example, if I have two words:

QUESTION
I'm working on a project with lots of C wrappers around M68000 asm calls. A few of these calls return a success/fail status on the condition code register, so it would be ideal to 'goto' a C label depending on the status of CC. However, no matter what permutations I try, I am constantly getting syntax errors from the compiler.
(This is gcc 10.2.0 --with-cpu=m68000)
Example code:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-10 at 19:40Yes, it is supported. I think the problem is your code, which has a couple of errors:
To use the goto feature, you need to start the inline assembly statement with the
asm goto
keywords. You are missing thegoto
.The label operands are numbered sequentially after the input operands (and of course there cannot be outputs). So
failed
is operand 4, and therefore you need to refer to it withbcc %l4
, not%l0
.
With these changes I'm able to compile the code.
By the way, I don't know much about m68k assembly, but it looks like you are clobbering register d1
, along with whatever the _BURAM
subroutine clobbers, yet those have not been declared as clobbers. Shouldn't you add "d1"
and the rest along with "cc"
?
Also, it seems like maybe you are expecting the operands d0_fcode
, a0_info
, etc, to be put in those specific registers, presumably because _BURAM
expects them there. Do you have those variables defined register asm
to tell the compiler about that, e.g. register int d0_fcode asm("d0");
? Otherwise it could for instance choose d4
for the d0_fcode
operand. In my test it happens by chance that they get put in the desired registers, without explicitly asking, but that is not safe to rely on.
QUESTION
I am running a macro that converts hexadecimal code to M68000 programming language. However, I am receiving the error message
'type mismatch'.
Here is the relevant code. I am receiving the error on the last line.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Sep-01 at 01:34When you have a type mismatch error, this means that either your input is not defined by what you are trying to find. Since your program was working before, this time you may have accidentally entered a character that you have not defined.
QUESTION
In M68000 assembly language, there are instructions such as "NOT", "OR", "AND", "BCHG", etc., that changes data in some form. My question is, what are some applications of these instructions ? Would it not be easier to use an immediate MOVE command?
Here are some definitions of these instructions:
NOT - reverses the bits of a destination operand. e.g. if D0 contains 1101 0111, after running the command NOT.B D0, D0 will contain 0010 1000.
AND - If the source and the destination is true, then the result is true
Also, do any logical commands correspond to mathematical operations or instructions? For example, I know that an LSR or LSL can do multiplication or division in binary.
Thank you in advance for any help
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-08 at 23:20Like negation, NOT, AND, OR, XOR all have their uses.
For one, most of our programming languages, like C, offer these operators, and so these machine code instructions directly implement operators of our programming languages — that's one huge class their uses.
Virtually all processors have these primitive boolean logic operations, and they are useful in perhaps hundreds of thousands of ways.
What C, assembly code, and other languages do with these operators is beyond enumeration.
Hashing, error detection, crypto, bit fields, bit vectors, graphics, machine learning, game engines, software floating point, i/o pin manipulation, etc...
Bit vectors alone are used in probably tens of thousands of algorithms: the various forms of analysis in compiler tech (data flow, others), for one, bloom filters, the list goes on and on.
QUESTION
I am trying to decompile an executable for the 68000 processor into C code, replacing the original subroutines with C functions one by one.
The problem I faced is that I don't know how to make gcc use the calling convention that matches the one used in the original program. I need the parameters on the stack to be packed, not aligned.
Let's say we have the following function
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-26 at 19:26Here's a way with a packed struct. I compiled it on an x86 with -m32
and got the desired offsets in the disassembly, so I think it should still work for an mc68000:
