Ok. I was just wondering.

Is there any way you can add VAR++?

I'd really like it, cos it makes the code more stylish that VAR+1->VAR and easier to introduce to C++/java/C coders.

I asked this very early on, and it turned out that Quigibo instituted one of his first optimizations with Var+1->Var turning into inc Var.  So, the optimization is still there, just not the other syntax.

I think he is just asking for the A++ syntax for style, just so it looks more like traditional programming languages

Ah, okay.
In that case, I'd like the syntax to be valid as well.

up once?

Also I edited the top page poll, because it was left without an edit for far too long.

Hehe, I can take a hint  Added a meaningful poll.

I was thinking of adding ++ as an operator for single byte variables because it could lead to a huge optimization there (but not to the 16-bit variables).  So A++ would translate to:
ld  hl,axv_A
inc (hl)

Which is NOT the same as A+1->A.  This is because here A represents the Axe "A" variable as just a single 8-bit byte and so 1++ becomes 2, but 255++ becomes 0 again.  And similarly, {B+L1}-- becomes:
ld  hl,(axv_B)
ld  de,axr_L1
add hl,de
dec (hl)


A++ would be very cool, thanks Quigibo.

What about this (I suck at Assembly):

cp 255
call z,VarPlus

VarPlus:
   ld a,(VarA)
   inc a

Actually, this really sucks.

But you can just do

Code: [Select]

sub(R)

Lbl R
X-3^27
Return
And save on space.

I think what he means is a replacement routine, where instead of calling the subroutine, the code is inserted inline. I'd like to see that implemented somehow (maybe parsing from the label until a Return is encountered).

Oh, yes, and on the compile menu, I'd also like to be able to hold STAT or something while pressing ENTER to suppress automatic backup creation (like compiling after a RAM clear).
