Hi everybody!

I recently started with asm, and i have some compiletime errors of which i don't know how to solve them.

my code:

Code: [Select]

Whoa... Seems like you're not assembling for Z80. What assembler are you using? Make sure you're using either TASM (with tasm80.tab table file), ZDS, or Spasm.

And welcome to Omnimaga, ben_g

What assembler are you using?

I use latenite z80 editor for both editing and compiling.

And welcome to Omnimaga, ben_g

thanks

btw: thanks for the quick reply

Ashbad · « **Reply #3 on:** May 08, 2011, 03:42:24 pm »

yeah, whatever you're doing, the syntax the assembler expects is not present. I would read the documentation for latenite z80 and/or get a better assembler

DrDnar · « **Reply #4 on:** May 08, 2011, 03:45:22 pm »

I hope that's not your entire source code. It needs some header and footer stuff to assemble correctly. Also, Latenite is not being actively developed and might be a little buggy.

ben_g · « **Reply #5 on:** May 08, 2011, 03:51:43 pm »

the doorscs assembler gives the same errors

the strangest abouth this: all of the other routines works (i only posted the part that gave the errors) while some of those lines are exactely the same as the ones that give errors in the initView routine

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #6 on:** May 08, 2011, 03:55:48 pm »

If I remember, Doors CS SDK pretty much includes Latenite, but I could be wrong. I unfortunately cannot help you, though, because I only ever used TASM when I tried learning assembly and it doesn't run on 64 bit OSes.

Welcome on the forums by the way.

that's why i searched for other assemblers, and i got latenite to work, untill it gave those errors...

Deep Toaster · « **Reply #8 on:** May 08, 2011, 04:13:02 pm »

Maybe Latenite requires you to use a table file or something? I've never used it, so I'm not sure.

Try using Spasm. It's the easiest to use I've found so far, and it's being actively developed.

Oh wow, I didn't actually read the code... Yeah, you can't load a 16-bit reg into another 16-bit reg. You have to load the individual 8-bit regs, as in ld h,d \ ld l,e.

ZippyDee · « **Reply #12 on:** May 09, 2011, 09:28:30 am »

If you reeeeeeally wanted to you could write macros for it. That could let you use those for some slightly faster typing in the future

FloppusMaximus · « **Reply #13 on:** May 09, 2011, 10:22:59 pm »

Note that LD BC,(abc) is faster and smaller than LD HL,(abc) / LD B,H / LD C,L.

Also note that in some cases you might be able to use EX DE,HL instead of LD. LD HL,(abc) / EX DE,HL is the same size and speed as LD DE,(abc).

Also also note that while there are undocumented instructions to load the two halves of IX to and from other registers, those instructions don't work on buggy emulators like the Nspire. So for compatibility you should probably stick to using, e.g., PUSH DE / POP IX to load DE into IX.
