SDCC

SDCC is the toolchain used in MSXGL to compile, assemble and link the sources files.

Supported version:

• Embedded: SDCC 4.2.0
• Tested: SDCC 4.4.0 RC2

Assembler

The assembler, sdasz80, is based on ASxxxx cross assembles.

sdasz80 syntax is almost standard except for:

• Define instructions numeral values: must be prefixed with # character.
• Define directive: must be prefix with . character.
• Access to IX and IY register using offset: offset have to be write before the register name into parentheses.
