CHAPTER 5: LINKER

(S1C63 FAMILY ASSEMBLER PACKAGE)
5.8 Absolute List File
The absolute list file is an assembly source file that carries the absolute addresses and object codes added
to the first half of each line. It is delivered only when the -l option is specified. Its file format is a text file,
and the file name is <file name>.als. (The <file name> is the same as that of the output object file.) While
a relocatable list file can be made for each assembly source file, the absolute list file is made as a single
file integrating all the linked objects and their according sources.

Contents of absolute list file
The format of each line of the absolute list file is as follows:
Line No. Absolute address Code Source statement
Line No. Indicates the line number from the top of the file.
Address Indicates the absolute address after the instruction is allocated.
Code Indicates the object code.
Source The contents of the assembly source file are delivered.
Results of branch optimization (extension code insertion/deletion/correction)
As the result of branch optimization, extension codes (ldb %ext, imm8) may be coded without accor-
dance to the source part. To show the result of such code optimizations clearly, the following descrip-
tion will be made on an absolute list file.
When an extension code is inserted:
"(+)" is placed to the right of the code part. There is no original source for the code but the disas-
sembled "ldb %exe, imm8" is delivered at the source part.
When an extension code is deleted:
"(-)" is placed to the left of the original source part. The original statement appears at the source
part in the list file but no code is delivered.
When the operand of an extension code is corrected:
"(*)" is placed to the left of the source statement.
Instructions preprocessed in the assembler
The instructions expanded in the assembler (macros and include sources) are listed with a "+".
