- This directory contains a small program to disassemble object files, it
- has been written to work with the object files that NorthC produces. I
- do not have a specification of how object files are meant to work so I
- have had to guess for most of the structure.
-
- The code that translates the instructions to assembly language was
- written by Martin Combs, his original program was included on NorthC 1.2,
- I have not altered this code much. What I have done is to add some code
- that understands how Amiga object files are split into hunks, and prints
- out the data and bss sections.
-
- The program has two switches, "-l" will cause the text segments to be
- printed as though they were data segments, "-h" will not print out the data
- but just give an overall structure of the object file.
-
- I wrote most of this program in an attempt to track down a nasty bug,
- the program can only cope with things that I have seen somewhere, if you
- can think of some improvements I would like to hear from you.
-
- I would like to thank Martin Combs for the hard work that went into the
- actual disassembler part of the program.
