The fourth pass would not actually reduce the size of programs, nor would it make them faster.  The *only* thing it would do is move all the data to the end of the program so you get a little more edge when compiling for Shell, and you are almost at the size limit

Aww. But would it be possible to have a pass that goes back and optimizes the code?

It would also allow me to give a compile error now when you go over the limit.  Currently I can't do that because I don't know how much is data and how much is code.

In that case I do support it :D

Did anyone see my suggestion for using shell routines? If you compile for a shell, you can for example use iputsprite instead of pxl-change and ifastcopy instead of DispGraph, which will cut the size of programs a lot.

Axe's routines are all custom made and different from shell routines, so it couldn't use them.

I second (or fifth, or whatever) the extra passes. Anything to increase program efficiency. Anyway, in Axe's current form, the second pass is faster than the first.

I know that most of the Axe routines are incompatible with the shell routines, but some of them are not. Because DispGraph is simply Ion's FastCopy, then DispGraph should simple be a CALL iFastCopy when compiling for a shell. I don't know how useful this would be for other commands, however.

Runer said that Axe's routines are not compatible plus they are better. I conclude that I'm fine with axe's routines as it is now.

Axe's FastCopy is very different from Ion's FastCopy:

  • Axe's FastCopy supports copying from an arbitrary buffer; Ion's FastCopy does not
  • Axe's FastCopy correctly preserves the interrupt status; Ion's FastCopy does not
  • Axe's FastCopy preserves the CPU speed and will run correctly at either 6MHz or 15MHz; Ion's FastCopy does neither
  • Axe's FastCopy will work on newer calculators with bad LCD drivers; Ion's FastCopy will not

I could give you a similar list for every other command shared between Axe and Ion.
