Glass Z80 assembler

I do (well did a long while ago) that with tniasm. It was a simple matter of assembling with two different ORGs and generating a relocation table based on the results. For the latter I wrote a small tool. Dump the whole thing in a makefile and you don't even know that it's doing all that. Should work for every assembler.

I like it. Especially combined with SECTION. Could it also be used without SECTION, just using ORG?
E.g:

  ORG 4000h
  LD a,1
  LD (value), a

  ORG C000h
value: DS VIRTUAL 2

I released version 0.2 which implements this.

Since the 0.3 and 0.4 releases it’s been quiet for a while, but I’ve recently made some improvements:

• The ternary if operator (x ? a : b) is now supported
• The binary include (INCBIN) directive is now supported
• Macro arguments can now have default values (using MACRO arg = 15 syntax)
• REPT and IRP are now terminated with ENDR (for compatibility ENDM still works)

Also some nice changes that were made last year:

• Optional ONCE annotation for INCLUDE to ignore a file if it’s already been included earlier
• Expressions / argument lists can span multiple lines when they’re incomplete (end with dangling operator)

Also I never posted about the 0.4 release here it seems, but it adds support for the # and % prefixes for hexadecimal and binary values, respectively.

And of course a bunch of bugfixes were done as well.

I’ve got a few more things on the wishlist, I’ll see if I have motivation to implement them but otherwise I’ll try to make a new release next month orso.

Fuck you spacemoai.

Also, I don’t see how that’s true. I’ve looked carefully at other assemblers and adopted common syntax for standard features where I could, and only deviate where every other assembler does it differently as well. It should be a superset of gen80 for the most part, for instance. If I didn’t want to stay compatible I’d throw out things like support for labels without :, #/% hex/bin prefixes, etc. in an instant. But I do want to take this assembler in a bit different direction, so I obviously won’t limit myself to a 100% compatible subset of other assemblers, because then what would be the point to make a new assembler.

But please, if you’re not just a fucking 9-weeks-old troll, let me know the feature that you are missing, or the syntax that you would like to see different. Some constructive feedback I could actually work with, you know, or at least respond meaningfully to, in stead of just being a dick.
