Due to not having structured variables in assembly code, you'll typically want to find the address of a given symbol (i.e. label) and inspect the memory at that location when debugging.
I've added a new variable scope to list symbols that don't correspond to C variables. They already exist in the symbols table and we can identify them by their type (normal) and size (0). Giving these a
memoryReferenceproperty means you get aView Binary Dataicon which opens the address in theView Memoryview.In addition I've added a
View Memorycontext menu item for this and aView Memory (pointer)option which adds indirection to open the memory address at that location.The input dialog for the
Amiga: View Memorycommand now accepts Symbol names as well as numeric addresses. You can also add a&prefix for indirection when using this method.For completeness I've also added a scope for constants defined in assembly. These look pretty similar in the symbol table but have a base of 0.
