Destination indexing question

User Name

When using self-modifying code to store an array of longs, is this the customary way to increment ddddddddd?

	...
label	mov	0-0, data
	add	label, dest_inc
	...
	...
dest_inc	long	%10_0000_0000

Or is there some super slick way that I don't know about? The manual seems rather mute on the entire topic.

No, you've got it right.

There is a gotcha, that if you self modify immediately before the label your modifying it won't work the way you might think... basically you need an additional instruction to separate the self-modification from the label being modified or else it won't propagate until the next iteration.

Thanks, Phil!

Right. In this case my intent was to increment the destination in anticipation of the next use of the indexed move.

You can also define

dest_inc    long     1<<9
