# nice65
Code formatter for CC65 assembly (WIP).

Requirements:

- Python 3.x
- [Lark](https://github.com/lark-parser/lark)

Features:
- Makes ugly code less ugly
- Fixes indentation and letter cases (mnemonics, registers)
- Understands weird labels, such as colon-less (C64 style) and unnamed (`:`, `:+++`)
- Preserves indentation level of comments
- Supports basic macros
- Skips files with `; nice65: ignore` comment
- Tested with [C64 Kernal/Basic](https://github.com/mist64/c64rom) and [my 6502-based SBC ROM code](https://github.com/and3rson/deck65)

Improvements to do:
- Complex macros
- Proper formatting of arithmetic expressions

Notes:
- Colon-less label mode (`-l`) breaks macros due to [ambiguity of the syntax](https://github.com/cc65/cc65/discussions/2158#discussioncomment-6644905). Use this option only with legacy code that contains no macros (such as C64 source code).

# Installation

```sh
pip install nice65
```

## Example usage

```sh
# Reformat and print to STDOUT
nice65 samples/example.s

# Modify file in-place
nice65 samples/example.s -m

# Write result to another file
nice65 samples/example.s -o samples/clean.s
# or
nice65 samples/example.s > samples/clean.s

# Recursively reformat all files in directory with extension ".s"
nice65 ./samples/ -r

# Recursively reformat all files in directory with extension ".asm"
nice65 ./samples/ -r -p '*.asm'
```

Before:
```asm
.macro ldax aa, bb ; do stuff
lda aa
ldx bb ; load bb
.endmacro

four .set 9
var = 1337 + four
four .set 4

.macro push_all
phA
phX
PHy
.endmacro

.data
foo:.byte 1

.code
; Fill zeropage with zeroes
fill:
; save registers
push_all

@start: ldax #0, #0
@again: sta $00 ,x ;Yeah, we can use stz, but I just need some code to test nice65!
inx
bne @again ; Repeat

; Do unnecessary throwaway stuff to test expressions
;
lda #<($42 + %10101010- (foo*2))
cmp foo+2
jmp :+
: lda $1234

@ridiculously_long_label_just_for_the_sake_of_it:PLX
pla

end:rts
```

After:
```asm
.macro ldax aa, bb ; do stuff
LDA aa
LDX bb ; load bb
.endmacro

four .set 9
var = 1337 + four
four .set 4

.macro push_all
PHA
PHX
PHY
.endmacro

.data
foo: .byte 1

.code
; Fill zeropage with zeroes
fill:
; save registers
push_all

@start:
ldax #0, #0
@again:
STA $00, X ; Yeah, we can use stz, but I just need some code to test nice65!
INX
BNE @again ; Repeat

; Do unnecessary throwaway stuff to test expressions
;
LDA #<($42 + %10101010 - (foo * 2))
CMP foo + 2
JMP :+
: LDA $1234

@ridiculously_long_label_just_for_the_sake_of_it:
PLX
PLA

end: RTS
```

## Using with Vim

```vim
:nnoremap :%! nice65 -
```

## Using with NeoVim

If you want to be fancy, here's an example on how to have nice65 configured as code formatter for NeoVim with null-ls:

1. Make sure you have the following neovim plugins installed:
- `maxbane/vim-asm_ca65` - sets filetype for CA65 buffers
- `jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim` - allows to run custom scripts as language servers

2. Add configuration:

```lua
local null_ls = require("null-ls")
null_ls.setup({
on_attach = on_attach, -- Remove this line if you don't use on_attach
})
null_ls.register({
method = null_ls.methods.FORMATTING,
filetypes = { 'asm_ca65' },
generator = null_ls.formatter({
command = 'nice65',
args = {'-'},
to_stdin = true,
from_stdout = true,
}),
})
```

3. Trigger the formatting:

```vim
:lua vim.lsp.buf.format()
```
