1 Xa is a high-speed, two-pass portable cross-assembler.
2 It understands mnemonics and generates code for NMOS 6502s
3 (such as 6502A, 6504, 6507, 6510, 7501, 8500, 8501, 8502 ...),
4 CMOS 6502s (65C02 and Rockwell R65C02) and the 65816.
6 Key amongst its features:
8 * C-like preprocessor (and understands cpp for additional feature support)
9 * rich expression syntax and pseudo-op vocabulary
10 * multiple character sets
11 * binary linking
12 * supports o65 relocatable objects with a full linker and relocation suite,
13 as well as "bare" plain binary object files
14 * block structure for label scoping
16 Xa's eventual companion disassembler is dxa, a moderately hacked-up version
17 of Marko Mäkelä's d65 disassembler.
18 This is still alpha and is available as a separate distribution until it is
19 stabilized enough to be part of the xa suite.
