Size of dat section

Kye

Never had to do this before... but, is there a good way to do this?

I use a label at the start and a label at the end.

It all depends upon what you mean by "size." The hub size will be different from the cog size if there are res pseudo-ops. In any event, the labels at start and end will give you the hub size from Spin (and the cog size from PASM, unless you have multiple orgs).

So...

return (@end - @start)

Kye

Wait...

What about:

return constant(@end - @start)

Kye

Or...

CON
DAT_LENGTH = (end - start)

This doesn't seem to compile. But, would be cool if it did.

Plus 3 4. Assuming start and end are longs.

Edit: Phil's right, you'd add four.

Duane, a pointer is always a long regardless of the type.

return (@end - @start) will give you the hub size of the DAT section in bytes, assuming end is the label of the long after the last long in the DAT section. If it's the label of the last long, just add four.
