4One-Line Assembler/
Disassembler
Introduction
The PPCBug one-line assembler is an interactive assembler/editor
in which the source program is not saved. Each source line is
translated into the proper PowerPC machine language code and is
stored in memory on a line-by-line basis at the time of entry. In
order to display an instruction, the machine code is disassembled,
and the instruction mnemonic and operands are displayed. All
valid PowerPC instructions are translated.
The assembler is effectively a subset of an operating system
assembler. It has some limitations as compared with the operating
system assembler, such as not allowing line numbers, pseudo ops,
instruction macros, and label. However, it is a powerful tool for
creating, modifying, and debugging code written in PowerPC
assembly language.
PowerPC Assembly Language
The symbolic language used to code source programs for
processing by the assembler is PowerPC assembly language. This
language is a collection of mnemonics representing:
Operations
Ð (PowerPC machine-instruction operation codes,
Directives (pseudo-ops))
Ð Operators
Special symbols
