    Pass 1: 2 Pass Assembler For SIC/XE

    Uploaded by

    Joel Joseph
    The document describes a two pass assembler pseudocode for the SIC/XE assembly language. Pass 1 builds a symbol table by parsing source code lines, resolving labels and inserting symbols and addresses. Pass 2 generates an object module by further parsing source lines, calculating addresses, outputting object code and reports. It handles directives like START, END, RESW, RESB, WORD and BYTE by incrementing locations counters and writing data or codes to the object array depending on the opcode. Errors are tracked and reported.
