So i am having a slight problem with the error stroller.  Specifically a piece of code like this

Code: [Select]
Pt-Off(2,2,1+1+1+1+Pic3
I added the 1+1 to make Pic3 go off to the next line.  When Pic3 is undefined, and the error is scrolled to, it does not place Pic3 on the correct line, and the text gets kinda mangled. I am using the 0.3.0Application Beta if that means anything.

o.O Did anybody see this?  I tested it with the most recent version and it still gets all messed up

I am aware of the error, and I already fixed it.  It had to do with displaying the error on the top of the screen instead of the bottom.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this like this for a reason, but the following program:
Code: [Select]
.TEST
!If -1→A+1
Disp "HI"
Pause 5000
End
Compiles to 58 bytes, while the following program:
Code: [Select]
.TEST
If -1→A=-1
Disp "HI"
Pause 5000
End
Compiles to 70 bytes? The only logical conclusion from this is that the =-1 comparison consumes 13 bytes, although it's documented as only consuming 9.

And why don't comparisons like this work in the first manner anyways if it's smaller?

EDIT: Hold on, just realized I was using Axe 0.3.0, let me check that this happens in 0.3.1.

EDIT 2: Yes, this occurs with Axe 0.3.1 as well.

You're right, the negative numbers do not appear to be auto-optimizing.  I'm fixing this now.

And why is it that equalities like that aren't optimized into statements like the first example? It's always smaller and, unless I'm missing something, it works the same way.

Because then you wouldn't be able to use it with logical operators.  Good luck trying to do A=5 xor (B=3)

This wouldn't work?
Code: [Select]
If A-5 xor (B-3)

Nope.  Say A=6 and B=5 The answer should be 0 since neither condition is true.  But you end up with 1 xor 2 = 3 which is non-zero.

runer, quigibo's example can be optimized to A-5 xor (B-3), but what about the following:
A=6 and (B=2)
A=2 or (B=3)

these don't work. i think you can only substitute equivalence with subtracting when it's a single statement, or you use xor.

nemo, the only reason those don't work is becasue you're not using De Morgan's law, which is part of the reason I can't automatically optimize it.  The subtraction actually optimizes the not equal sign not the equal sign btw.

If A=6 and (B=2)

can become:

!If A-6 or (B-2)

However, that " or " has to be the 16-bit binary " or " (the plot style token) and so it reduces the effective optimization a little bit.  But it's still an optimization I'm sure.

I'm confused, why does 1 xor 2 = 3

In binary,

%00000001 = 1
%00000010 = 2
apply xor to each bit
%00000011 = 3

Oh, xor is bitwise? Not like a TI-OS xor?

look at the commands list. there's both a xor like in TI OS, and a bitwise xor ( it's a plot style token ).
bitwise:
1 xor 2 = 3
TI OS:
1 xor 2 = 0

nemo, I believe both in Axe are bitwise. The plot-style ones are just 16-bit whereas the normal ones are 8-bit.
