SX/B sub declaration enhancement idea

Peter Verkaik

Hi,
sub declaration take the form SUB MIN,MAX
where MIN and MAX define the number of parameter.
It would be nice if we could use a more elaborate format.
Something like
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]word,word][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]word,byte,byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]word,byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]word][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]byte,byte,byte,byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]byte,byte,byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]byte,byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]byte][noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
SUB mysub [noparse][[/noparse]/word|byte|bit]
The first options between [noparse]/noparse define the parameter types (for up to 4 bytes)
the second [noparse]/noparse defines the return type (the / marks it as returntype.)
The bit returntype returns a byte with value 0 or 1.

Just a thought for a future enhancement.
It can coexist with the current format.
SUB mysub word,byte[noparse][[/noparse],byte]/byte
equals SUB mysub 3,4
