<h4 class="subsection">9.44.5 String Substitution</h4>
|
|
<p>A subset of allowable symbols (which we’ll call subsyms) may be assigned
|
|
arbitrary string values. This is roughly equivalent to C preprocessor
|
|
#define macros. When <code>as</code> encounters one of these
|
|
symbols, the symbol is replaced in the input stream by its string value.
|
|
Subsym names <strong>must</strong> begin with a letter.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Subsyms may be defined using the <code>.asg</code> and <code>.eval</code> directives
|
|
(See <a href="TIC54X_002dDirectives.html#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.asg</code></a>,
|
|
See <a href="TIC54X_002dDirectives.html#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.eval</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Expansion is recursive until a previously encountered symbol is seen, at
|
|
which point substitution stops.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>In this example, x is replaced with SYM2; SYM2 is replaced with SYM1, and SYM1
|
|
is replaced with x. At this point, x has already been encountered
|
|
and the substitution stops.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .asg "x",SYM1
|
|
.asg "SYM1",SYM2
|
|
.asg "SYM2",x
|
|
add x,a ; final code assembled is "add x, a"
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Macro parameters are converted to subsyms; a side effect of this is the normal
|
|
<code>as</code> ’\ARG’ dereferencing syntax is unnecessary. Subsyms
|
|
defined within a macro will have global scope, unless the <code>.var</code>
|
|
directive is used to identify the subsym as a local macro variable
|
|
see <a href="TIC54X_002dDirectives.html#TIC54X_002dDirectives"><code>.var</code></a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Substitution may be forced in situations where replacement might be
|
|
ambiguous by placing colons on either side of the subsym. The following
|
|
code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> .eval "10",x
|
|
LAB:X: add #x, a
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>When assembled becomes:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">LAB10 add #10, a
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>Smaller parts of the string assigned to a subsym may be accessed with
|
|
the following syntax:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<dl compact="compact">
|
|
<dt><code><code>:<var>symbol</var>(<var>char_index</var>):</code></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Evaluates to a single-character string, the character at <var>char_index</var>.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
<dt><code><code>:<var>symbol</var>(<var>start</var>,<var>length</var>):</code></code></dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Evaluates to a substring of <var>symbol</var> beginning at <var>start</var> with
|
|
length <var>length</var>.
|
|
</p></dd>
|
|
</dl>
