.SH NAME
6805_as \- assembler for Motorola 6805
.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
This assembler is made with the general framework
described in \fIuni_ass\fP(6). It is an assembler generating relocatable
object code in \fIack.out\fP(5) format.
.SH SYNTAX
.IP registers
The 6805 has an accumulator register A and an index register X. An
instruction (from the read-modify-write group) that references the
A-register has an "a" suffixed to the mnemonic. In a similar way
the X-register, apart from indexing operations, is addressed with
an "x" suffix, i.e. "lsra" and "negx".
.IP "addressing modes"
The assembler automatically selects the shortest opcode if
appropriate and possible. Thus "sub 10" will use the direct
addressing mode whereas "neg 0,x" will use indexed (no offset) mode.
There are sick constructions where the assembler can't find out
the shortest form in time. In those cases the longest form is used.
.br
Branches are handled in much the same way. If a branch is out of
range it is replaced by a reversed condition branch, followed by
a jump, automatically.

syntax meaning (name)
#expr a one byte value (immediate)
<expr 1-byte zero page address. Allowed in
the register/memory and read-modify-
write instruction groups. (direct)
>expr 2-byte address. Allowed in the register
memory group. (extended)
expr 1-byte address if appropriate, 2-byte
in other cases. (auto-direct/extended)
,x indexed with zero offset. (indexed)
<expr,x indexed with 8 bit offset. (indexed-1)
>expr,x indexed with 16 bit offset. (indexed-2)
expr,x indexed with the shortest possible off-
set. (auto indexed)
bit,expr bit number and direct address.
(bit set/clear)
bit,expr,tag bit number, direct address and branch
tag. Automatically changed to reversed
condition branch and jump if appropri-
ate. (bit test and branch)
tag branch tag. Converted to reversed con-
dition branch and jump if appropriate.
