Hi there,

the maintainer of xa65 still is Cameron Kaiser, but we discussed to put up the xa65 cross assembler to github, as I had some updates and Cameron is currently busy with other tasks.

You can find it on
https://github.com/fachat/xa65

The "master" is the stable branch. The "listing" branch adds some ca65 compatibility options, and also a long-awaited feature: assembler listings.

The "listing" needs more testing though, esp. with the 65816 code (I had to change something in the 65816 part that I did not really understand), I only tested the 6502 code so far.

Well, that would be great! I have modified the current xa65 version to include some improvements, mostly the listing feature - but in this process I found that the 65816 extension to the original assembler was not made to the original structure (IIRC it did some out-of-band communication between components), which I fixed (had to to implement the listing).

However, as I don't do 65816 at the moment - actually never done extensively - I can't say if I really broke it. I wrote a small test program, but that is not a replacement for a full-featured test.

So it would be great if you (or others) could test the 65816 side of that extension!

Looking at the code again, if I see that correctly now, the critical part is the one where values are cast to a specific length, esp. the "@"

Gravedigging: I finished the 2.3.7 update with some bug fixes and an expanded test case. I'm trying to work on the '816 side and there are some test vectors now.

FYI I have updated my copy to work with Visual Studio 2012 instead of 2005

I also got rid of the 2 compiler warnings
