ASM Symbol Importing

Some assemblers, like Pasmo, export a list of symbols into a .sym file.

These take the form of one symbol per line, with the EQU asm keyword, and the value. Example:

FILVRM          EQU 00056H
LDIRMV          EQU 00059H
LDIRVM          EQU 0005CH

The preprocessor can trivially import these symbols, either written directly into the file, or as a result of Includes.

With this feature, you'll never need to hardcode any entry-point addresses in your BASIC code.

Examples

$equ init {
	$include { init.sym }
}

bload"init.bin"

defusr=$eval hex { $init.main }:i=usr(0)

rem "main" is a symbol in the init.sym file
