ASM features EQU and DEFM

[LCD]

Hi Boriel. I just adapted a ASM routine for key-redefining from WOS Forum to ZXBC for my next game, and noticed following:
EQU is not supported?
DEFM supports only Strings, but not mixed bytes+strings in one line like: DEFM 14,10,5,"Down",255
I adapted the lines by lacerating them to DEFB,DEFM and DEFB again, but maybe it would be a good idea to support bytes and Strings with DEFM, like other assemblers do.

EQU is supported. It should be used this way (if I recall correctly).

Code:

Asm Label EQU 5 * OtherLabel + 3 ; Complex expressions allowed End Asm

DEFM supports only Strings, but not mixed bytes+strings in one line like: DEFM 14,10,5,"Down",255

Ok, I will try to add that in 1.2.9

I had problems with the code from here:

Code:

asm ; ---------------------- CONST ------------------- #line 3 BORDCR: EQU 23624 ATTR_P: EQU 23693 ROM_CLS: EQU 3435 CHAN_OPEN: EQU 5633 CC_INK: EQU 16 CC_PAPER: EQU 17 CC_AT: EQU 22 CC_OVER: EQU 21 end asm

This rsults in "Unexpected token 'EQU' [EQU]". Maybe a bug?

ZXasm does not support that syntax:

Code:

LABEL: EQU XXXXX LABEL2: EQU YYYYY

Use this instead:

Code:

LABEL EQU XXXXX LABEL2 EQU YYYYY

ZXasm does not support that syntax:

Code:

LABEL: EQU XXXXX LABEL2: EQU YYYYY

Use this instead:

Code:

LABEL EQU XXXXX LABEL2 EQU YYYYY

I understand, OK. Big thanks!
