#82123 - Large files
Responding to: ???'s previous message
-------------
You may want to actually put consideration toward support of 256K or larger 8051 image files. There are many people who make very large images that are bank switch supported programs. If you supported banks where the "ORG" of varous portions of the image could overlay it would become not so surprising to see that someone may want to disassemble a 256K image file......as crazy as it sounds.
-------------

Actually, I have given it some thought, but it's not high on my priority list :-) The problem with bank switching is how the disassembler can know what address to map banks to. I could easily add a control file directive to specify bank logical addresses versus physical addresses, but when code being disassembled references an address within a bank, how's the disassembler to know which bank is mapped in at run time?

Suggestions are welcome ;-) My email address is in the documentation.
