20-Nov-1998:
I am in the process of developing a Freeware C compiler for
8-16 bit microcontrollers , and have decided to use ASXXXX
as the assembler.
Now the question.... I like the idea of local labels a lot .. since this
will save a lot of effort in name mangling ... but to use this
effectively I need to expand the 256 limit to something in the
range of 2^15 .. is this feasable ??
Which source files will I need to modify to accomplish this ??
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sandeep

Sandeep,
Modify ASXXXX.H
Changing the variable type from 'char' to 'int'
for t_num and t_flg in the structure tsym will
increase the allowable number of temporary symbols
to 65536 (0 - 65535) between normal symbol definitions.
The definition for the structure tsym is found in ASXXXX.H
Recompile the assemblers.
Note that the temporary symbols are not hashed. A linear
search is used to find the symbol and may take some time
if there are many thousands of symbols between two normally
constructed symbols.
/* **-- ASXXXX.H --** */
/* ** BEFORE ** */
struct tsym
{
struct tsym *t_lnk; /* Link to next */
char t_num; /* 0-255$ */
char t_flg; /* flags */
struct area *t_area; /* Area */
addr_t t_addr; /* Address */
};
/* ** AFTER ** */
struct tsym
{
struct tsym *t_lnk; /* Link to next */
int t_num; /* 0-65535$ */
int t_flg; /* flags */
struct area *t_area; /* Area */
addr_t t_addr; /* Address */
};
