Hmmm, so maybe it has something to do with the total size of the program?

Yeah i always try with and without app, and they have been the same all times.  Probably the best thing to do now is to get a version that doesnt work, and have someone look at the binary to see what it's *actually* doing

EDIT: also see how much of the program you can remove before it stops producing the error

From the Q&A thread:

Okay, I'm sure that this is just stupidity on my part, but I just can't see a bug in this.

Axe 1.0.5

Code: [Select]

.ZA

Text(0,0,F(5,6)>Dec)
Text(50,0,F(6,5)>Dec)

Text(0,10,F((6-1),(6+1))>Dec)
Text(50,10,F(6,6)-1>Dec)

Text(0,20,F(6,(5+4))>Dec)

Text(50,20,F(6,5)+F(6,4)>Dec)


Pause 5000

Lbl F
r1*r2+r1+r2
Return

Compiling halts at 57% during the first pass -- error message: "WRONG # OF ARGS".

Pressing [pgrm] jumps to the sixth 'Text'

Code: [Select]

Text(50,20,F(6,5)+F(6,4)>Dec)
                     ^

(In case anybody was wondering, I was brute-forcing a solution to an SAT problem (in my defense, I was feeling too tired to be clever)).

Runer's response:

Pick that post back up and take it right on over to the bug reports thread, because that's definitely Axe's fault, not yours. It's treating +F as adding the variable F instead of noticing the opening parenthesis immediately following it and treating it as adding the return value of a function.

I found freyadays bug, it was in his code and not in Axe

I believe I have found a fairly obscure bug. It appears that comments do not work properly on Lbl or Goto lines. Not only does a period not start a comment, but it also makes the parser "forget" that the current line is a Lbl or Goto line and parses whatever follows the period like normal code.


EDIT: For that matter, it looks like Lbl and Goto are a little wonky with spaces as well. Spaces in label names are ignored by the parser, although they should probably end the label name.

Compiling a program containing only the line (or possibly ending in the line):
Copy(L₆,GetCalc("Pic0"),756)
Fails when peep-hole opts are enabled:

Code: (Zooming...) [Select] ld   hl,plotSScreen  push hl  ld   hl,Pic0  call p_GetCalc  push hl  ld   hl,756  pop  de  ex   (sp),hl  pop  bc  ldir  ret p_GetCalc:  ; ... Pic0:  .db PictObj,tVarPict,tPic0

Code: (Compiling...) [Select] ld   hl,plotSScreen  push hl  ld   hl,Pic0  call p_GetCalc  push hl  ld   hl,756  pop  de  ex   (sp),hl  pop  bc  .db $ed ; ??? p_GetCalc:  ; ... Pic0:  .db PictObj,tVarPict,tPic0

The second one is missing half the ldir and the ret! Also o_PushPop6 was not applied...

jacobly, what do you mean by that?  Do you mean it doesn't display correctly?  How do you think it should be displayed? o.O

Ah i see, that's a good one ^^
