[roudoudou]

update v0.117
- new spectrum option HOBETA for SAVE directive

- bugfix using negative size with INCBIN (will compute filesize + negative size)



New FR & EN documentation by Siko (Stéphane S.)

Yes! Another assembler!

    - DAMN fast assembling
    - integrated crunched sections (LZ48/LZ49/LZ4/ZX7/Exomizer) + load&crunch on the fly
    - cartridge, snapshot, binaries with or without amsdos header, multiple EDSK generation
    - symbols import/export, breakpoint export
    - ORG checking, unlimited memory workspaces where labels are shared, bank management, structures
    - ALL undocumented instructions
    - conditionnal macro, unlimited & embeded loops with local labels, switch/case
    - floating point engine, mathematical functions, ...
    - MAXAM, AS80 & UZ80 compatibility option
    - English & French documentation
    - Uninterrupted support

Keep in mind that msdos version will work ONLY on true msdos with dos4gw.exe extender or Windows 95,98,Millenium (that graphical manager on msdos) without long filenames. Will work with DOS-box too

[AMSDOS]

Yes! Another assembler!   

Looks interesting. Looking at some of that code I need to brush up on my assembly, but at least my Assembly is better than my C and was wondering if Translate back to C was an option for this Assembler?

I think this is a disassembler job, i can modify my old dizasm to do that

[AMSDOS]

Sorry my suggestion is ridiculous (I think) I haven't seen an Assembler translate Assembly back to C, it's unusual I think cause it would only be done to write low-level code into an high-level form. Some early Assembly tutorials for the Amstrad used BASIC and then show equivalent Assembly code which was a good approach, in my case I'm perhaps better at Assembly than C.

first official release of Rasm in the first post (only sources today, stand alone executables monday since i do not have a windows dev machine at home)


the license is MIT "expat"

Why do you have to compile the thing itself?

update 2017.03.06:
- new release v032, a few fixes, new directives incl48, incl49 to include a binary file and crunch it on the fly
- Windows executables

[Golem13]

It's a very great job roudoudou. Thanks.
The maxam compability will be a very good point, coz if it's possible to convert a source to your syntax, it's no more possible to assemble the converted source in a maxam assembler.
Do you believe it will be possible to manage the maxam syntax in your assembler ?

[roudoudou]

Thanks to you.


I'm afraid by maxam you mean Winape


Making a maxam compatibility is supposed to be easy to do at short term -> there is only to destroy operator priority


Some of winape directive may be translated on the fly like "Write direct -1,-1,<n>" -> "bank <n>"



I'v already made a winape local label style with '@' 


Rasm do not have yet macro support (it's planned)


Rasm does not support elseif (and i have not think about it)


Rasm does not support "AND" "OR" "XOR" operator but it should not be a great difficulty to integrate them




At this very moment i made Rasm to save time for my future production (november 2017) so i cannot promise to work on it before 

[Golem13]

You will need to include also, and at least the few instructions below (not a exhaustive list):

READ filename
INCBIN filename[,offset[,size[,offset_high]]]
LET symbol = value
IFNOT condtion
RUN address
ORG code_address[,output_address]
CHARSET [string,value|byte,value|start,end,value]

From memory, and it's the commands list I use in maxam/winape syntax :-)

Thanks a lot for your skill !

Thanks a lot for your skill ! 

I've been working hard on new directives to improve winape/maxam compatibility and facilitate the transfert to Rasm


I added to your list the SAVE, BRK and WRITE DIRECT command


There is a command line switch to avoid operator priority and mimic parenthesis with brackets


The assembler can also import symbols (pasmo/winape/rasm) and work on multiple memory set


For example, if your software is supposed to use expansion bank to run code, you may write a code like this


Each write direct create a new memory set of 64K


In this example there is 3 independent memory set BUT labels are shared

Code: [Select]

org #2000
mystart
; main code with menu from #2000
dec a
jr z,submenu1
dec a
jr z,submenu2
myend


save "main.bin",mystart,myend-mystart


write direct -1,-1,#C4
org #4000
submenu1
; code code
submenu1end
save "menu1.bin",submenu1,submenu1end-submenu1



write direct -1,-1,#C4
org #4000
submenu2


; code code


submenu2end
save "menu2.bin",submenu2,submenu2end-submenu2


Note: If you use the WRITE DIRECT -1,-1,n syntax


The assembler will write to specifics CPR memory sets


If no SAVE command is used, a CPR will be automatically created, the assembler will write 16K from the first adress written in the bank


You may force CPR writing






Moar testing then release soon




Thanks Golem for suggestions

[roudoudou]

new release v035 in the first post, many bugfixes and new directives


RASM is still in beta 



specific winape directive compatibility:
write direct -1,-1,<n>   same as
bank <n> directive
let             this useless keyword is ignored like in locomotive Basic
read            same as include directive
brk             ignored
run <nn>        ignored
print         print var, text or expression
stop         stop assembling
charset [p1,p2[,p3]]   same as Winape charset directive
incbin extended parameters
save "file",adr,size  save memory region in a file

yep, i have to fix the LZ48 dynamic block since i made a lot of modifications with labels 

error...

Code: [Select]

write direct #C4

Error in the code (that was a wrong example), the correct syntax is describe in manual or winape directive page -> write direct -1,-1,#C4

updated first post with v0.48
- bugfix of label calculations when placed after a LZ48/LZ49 block (there is a buf left with more than one LZ section in the same ORG)
- directives SWITCH/CASE/DEFAULT/ENDSWITCH added
