64tass: labels inside FOR ... NEXT loops
hello,
does 64tass have the possibility to use indexed labels, like inside a FOR...NEXT loop?
Something like:
.FOR X=0, X<X_MAX-1, X=X+1
LABEL(X)
LDA #ABC
STA ZXY
.NEXT
so to have X_MAX labels.
Unrolled:
LABEL1
LDA #ABC
STA ZXY
LABEL2
LDA #ABC
STA ZXY

Btw. in 1.54 I've added scoped loop directives. Now the second example in post #5 can be simplified to:
*= $1000
lista .bfor i = 0, i < 8, i += 1
label lda #i
.if i > 3
lbl2 nop
.fi
.next
.word lista.label ; all labels
.word lista[4].lbl2 ; the one from the 5th run |

This new feature is handy for avoiding the "I used a" trap ;)
aka
.for a = 0, a < 10 , a += 2
then later
lsr a
.warning Invalid addressing mode |

The loop related calculations are not scoped. This is so you can update an existing variable created somewhere above and that the loop variable is available later for checks/further continuation loops.
Such unfortunate name choices should be avoided. Using -Wshadow can help with that. |

thanks for the replies, they've been really useful.
Now I take it to an even further level.
Let's say I need a multiple index label, so far I only need a vector of labels, thus: LABEL[0], LABEL[1], LABEL[2]....
But how can I implement a matrix of labels, thus
LABEL[0][0], LABEL[0][1],....
LABEL[1][0], LABEL[1][1],...
LABEL[2][0], LABEL[2][1],...
Somthing like:
FRAME := [][][]
.FOR FRAME=0,FRAME<=6,FRAME=FRAME+2
.FOR ZOOM=1,ZOOM<=3,ZOOM=ZOOM+1
FRAME .= [FRAME],[ZOOM]
.binary .....
.NEXT
.NEXT |

You need to nest them. For the exact style you want:
FRAMES := []
.FOR FRAME=0, FRAME<=6, FRAME += 2
ZOOMS := []
.FOR ZOOM=1, ZOOM<=3, ZOOM += 1
- .binary .....
ZOOMS ..= [-] ; collect in zooms
.NEXT
FRAMES ..= [ZOOMS] ; collect zooms in frames
.NEXT
lda #<FRAMES[2][0]
ldx #>FRAMES[2][0]
However I would do this instead:
FRAMES .BFOR FRAME IN RANGE(0, 7, 2)
ZOOMS .BFOR ZOOM IN RANGE(1, 4)
.binary .....
.NEXT
.NEXT
lda #<FRAMES[2].ZOOMS[0]
ldx #>FRAMES[2].ZOOMS[0]

thanks I got it working, very useful stuff. However I spotted a possible bug with 64TASS 1.54.1900
This is compiles ok:
FRAMES := []
.FOR FRAME=0, FRAME<=6, FRAME += 2
ZOOMS := []
.FOR ZOOM=1, ZOOM<=3, ZOOM += 1
- .binary .....
ZOOMS ..= [-] ; collect in zooms
.NEXT
FRAMES ..= [ZOOMS] ; collect zooms in frames
.NEXT
lda #<FRAMES[2][0]
ldx #>FRAMES[2][0]
while this complains "error: not defined ident 'FRAMES'"
lda #<FRAMES[2][0]
ldx #>FRAMES[2][0]
FRAMES := []
.FOR FRAME=0, FRAME<=6, FRAME += 2
ZOOMS := []
.FOR ZOOM=1, ZOOM<=3, ZOOM += 1
- .binary .....
ZOOMS ..= [-] ; collect in zooms
.NEXT
FRAMES ..= [ZOOMS] ; collect zooms in frames
.NEXT
so basically I am forced to declare the labels in RAM before they are actually used. In my program I call the labels in upper RAM but store the tables with labels definition much further down. |

ok just found a workaround which compiles fine:
lda #<support_label
ldx #>support_label
FRAMES := []
.FOR FRAME=0, FRAME<=6, FRAME += 2
ZOOMS := []
.FOR ZOOM=1, ZOOM<=3, ZOOM += 1
- .binary .....
ZOOMS ..= [-] ; collect in zooms
.NEXT
FRAMES ..= [ZOOMS] ; collect zooms in frames
.NEXT
support_label = FRAMES[2][0]
I guess I can live with that :) |

variables that are defined as := are defined in linear order and reset on each pass. So := before usage is required. By doing
x = variable
x is now a permanent value that remains across passes and hence the assembler can sub it in on the next pass for you. |
