68000 Assembly Language - How to know wether an address is an absoulute long or short operand -

for example: move.w $1234,$8000

could tell me source using ( long or short ) , destination using (long or short). can explain how found out.

thanks.

it whatever assembler decides use.

to forcefulness it, utilize appropriate suffix:

move.w ($1234).w, ($8000).l

to utilize short (also called "near") source long (aka "far") destination address.

in (semi-ancient) experience, don't need care often, allow assembler job.
