Analyzing the PowerPC 604
Using the Inverse Assembler
Code Synchronization
The Code Synchronization enables the inverse assembler to resynchronize
with the microprocessor code. In some cases the prefetch marking algorithm
in the inverse assembler may lose synchronization, and unused prefetches or
executed instructions may be incorrectly marked. If any of the Code Reads
are suppressed, this could cause some executed instructions to be missing
from the display.
To resynchronize the inverse assembler, select "0/8" (for the high word) or
11
4/C" (for the low word) and press "Align".
Display Formats
The enhanced inverse assembler (1604E) allows you to configure various
aspects of the disassembler display. The configuration options are listed
below.
+ Separator Either blanks or commas may be used to separate
operands.
andis. r3 r3 FOOO
andis. r3,r3,FOOO
The generic disassembler (1604) always uses blanks as separators.
+ Numerics Either of two conventions may be selected to display
numeric data. The conventions are dense and common.
dense common
hex FFF00230 OxFFF00230
decimal 31. 31
binary %00100 ObOOlOO
Since most of the numeric data produced by the inverse assembler is
hexadecimal, the dense format uses a little less screen space. The generic
disassembler (1604) always uses dense numerics.
+ Dialect
Three mnemonic dialects are available: Raw, Simplified, and
Extended. The generic disassembler (1604) always uses the Extended
dialect.
