array in DAT section?

EricR

Is there any way to declare an array in the DAT section for use in Spin?

So far, I do this:

DAT
A_DAT_Array············ long 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

However, I want the size definable by a constant, not by typing all these zeros.

Any comments are appreciated.

Of course you can. I use it all the time for singleton objects.

CON
  SIZE = 32

DAT
myarray    long 0[noparse][[/noparse]SIZE]     ' fills the 'array' with 0's

·It works!· Thank you.· That was one syntax I did not try.

·I am greatly surprised to find that renaming a source file does not necessarily mean that you have two instances of a singleton object!

It is necessary to change at least 1 bit of the code to have multiple instances of a singleton object.· Example, in two files:

in "FullDuplexSerial128.spin" (similar to SerialMirror) I have
· dummy········ long 0··· ' marker to make file instances recognizeable as different

in "Fish128.spin" (almost identical to above) I have
· dummy········ long 1··· ' marker to make file instances recognizeable as different

This is enough to make the Propeller Tool create two instances of this singleton object.· I am using version 1.2.5 of the tool.

My OBJ section in the program that needs two instances looks like this:
· ConsoleSerialDriver : "FullDuplexSerial128"
· DebugSerialDriver : "fish128"
