Re: Generic question about Apple2 / cc65 debugging

Hi Colin,

Certainly not the silver bullet you might be looking for, but what's there:

Build with options that generate additional files which allow you to relate
addresses you see in the monitor of an emulator to your source code.

1. Create a map file. It tells you where your functions are placed in
memory: --mapfile <file>

2. Create a listing file with source comments. It tells you which source
code line belongs to which offset: --listing <file> --add-source

So even when you don't understand assembly you can this way follow which
source code line is currently executed or set breakpoints on a source code
line.

Regards,
Oliver
