asm

This is my experimental assembler for 6502 processor in Ocaml with monadic parser described here: https://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/monparsing.pdf.

This program was mainly inspired by Tsoding parcoom parser: https://github.com/tsoding/parcoom

As input to parser I used tokens from lexer (instead of string) and this simple solution lets me to forget about whitespaces and comments in parser grammar.

Now assembling is processed in 3 passes: pre-processing parse with directives calculations (preprocess), parsing tokens and generating instructions (by asmparser) and post-process with calculating labels relative and absolute positions in code (by asmparser).

testing with utop:

• dune test

executing main

• dune exec asm

with utop:

• utop>> #load "str.cma";;
• utop>> #use "./asmparser.ml";;
• utop>> exp_p.run {tokens= ref (Array.of_list (tokenize "1203*2+5*10 ss")) ; pos= 0};;
• utop>> exp_p.run {tokens= ref (Array.of_list (tokenize "(2+(5*3))-8")) ; pos= 0};;
• utop>> exp_p.run {tokens= ref (Array.of_list (tokenize "2+5*-(-%0001001010+3)-8")) ; pos= 0};;

---

with dune & utop:

• dune utop ./lib
• utop>> #use "./lib/asmparser.ml";;
• utop>> #use "./lib/preprocess/preprocess.ml";;
• utop>>
