Endless Runner 2600 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to use the sleep macro inside the macro.h header. Here is the code: ; SLEEP duration ; Original author: Thomas Jentzsch ; Inserts code which takes the specified number of cycles to execute. This is ; useful for code where precise timing is required. ; ILLEGAL-OPCODE VERSION DOES NOT AFFECT FLAGS OR REGISTERS. ; LEGAL OPCODE VERSION MAY AFFECT FLAGS ; Uses illegal opcode (DASM 2.20.01 onwards). MAC SLEEP ;usage: SLEEP n (n>1) .CYCLES SET {1} IF .CYCLES < 2 ECHO "MACRO ERROR: 'SLEEP': Duration must be > 1" ERR ENDIF IF .CYCLES & 1 IFNCONST NO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES nop 0 ELSE bit VSYNC ENDIF .CYCLES SET .CYCLES - 3 ENDIF REPEAT .CYCLES / 2 nop REPEND ENDM However when I try to assemble it get the error: --- Unresolved Symbol ListNO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES 0000 ???? (R )--- 1 Unresolved Symbol Here is the output log: START OF PASS: 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SEGMENT NAME INIT PC INIT RPC FINAL PC FINAL RPC f000 f000 RIOT [u] 0280 0280 TIA_REGISTERS_READ [u] 0000 0000 TIA_REGISTERS_WRITE [u] 0000 0000 INITIAL CODE SEGMENT 0000 ???? 0000 ???? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 references to unknown symbols. 20 events requiring another assembler pass. - Expression in mnemonic not resolved. - Label defined after it has been referenced (forward reference). --- Unresolved Symbol List NO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES 0000 ????

Thomas Jentzsch Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 The message is irritating for sure, but the code has be assembled completely. Check the resulting binary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremiahK Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yes, this is normal. In the snippet, it checks for the existence of NO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES: IFNCONST NO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES nop 0 ELSE bit VSYNC ENDIF This way, if you define the label NO_ILLEGAL_OPCODES, it will insert a "bit VSYNC" instruction, versus the undocumented "nop 0". And if you don't define the label, dasm warns you about it, but everything works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionoid Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) That warning is a flaw in the macro.h in my opinion. I modified my local version of macro.h to always do a 'nop 0' by commenting out the surrounding conditions. No idea why anyone would like to use 'bit VSYNC' here, because that instruction might change the flags.

Nukey Shay Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Chip revisions may not support them. A couple stable opcodes were found not to work with FB2's: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/75267-fb2-compatiblity-list/page-2?do=findComment&comment=954273 BTW writing to $2D, $2E, or $2F should also have no effect to waste 3 cycles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
