When a RAM clear on the emulated calculator occurs, it clears its 32KB of emulated RAM. Note that when it's started up its RAM is cleared automatically by Emu8x
This answers your question, then? :)

Ah ok glad to hear such crash won't wipe the entire 128 KB, then :)

That JQ instruction is really useful. Sometimes its hard to decide between JR and JP.

Yep, especially if you add more stuff...
I myself definitely find jq useful. The only things the assembler is missing IMO are macros, true defines, the ability to move and rename (including changing the section type) sections, and the include directive. Then it'd be awesome :D
FloppusMaximus, could you better specify how library source files are included (with respect to the order in which they are assembled into the source, that is)?

For me, the only thing it's lacking in is copy/paste

It actually does have a one-line cut/paste feature. Press CLEAR to clear a line, and it is copied. Go to an empty line and press 2ND+RCL to paste it.

The only thing I am missing, and missing a lot, is macros.  I love the things :D

About the emulator/virtual calc discussion, virtual calcs are somewhat problematic thanks to the archive issues, but Omnicalc's RAM recovery option works fairly well for testing assembly programs.  It could be better, obviously, but the feature has certainly saved me a lot of time over the years, for those times when an emulator isn't good enough and you have to test on the real hardware.

I myself definitely find jq useful. The only things the assembler is missing IMO are macros, true defines, the ability to move and rename (including changing the section type) sections, and the include directive. Then it'd be awesome :D
Moving and renaming sections is a good idea.  I'll see what I can do.  Macros will be done at some point, but those are a bit tricky.

INCLUDE would actually be quite a bit more difficult.  I realize it's nice to have for porting existing code, but is there a reason you really need it?

I believe that they're assembled in the order they're listed, by a breadth-first search (so the main source file comes first, then all the files imported by the main source file, then all the files imported by those files (assuming they weren't used already), and so forth.)  So if you want the files in a particular order, just be sure to list all of them in the main source file.

If you're writing a general-purpose library that depends on other libraries, you can't predict what order those dependent libraries will appear, but the section types do allow you to define a partial ordering of sections (all header sections come before all code sections, which come before all data sections, which come before all footer sections.)

Props to you, Floppus.

Maybe for different versions of a project with half the same code?

Life's alright, could be better, could be worse.  Do I know you from somewhere else?

Don't libraries do that for you?
