[ARM/Nspire] Inserting a new line in text
« on: August 20, 2013, 04:38:12 pm »
I've been trying to have some sort of text input with ARM now but I've hit a wall at this point. I've implemented enter/newline continuing at the same x position and also managed to get it back to the start of the line.
The problem I have is incorporating the delete/backspace functionality. The code below shows how I imagined it to go, but this makes enter act all funky and weird, offsetting the letters from the right by the amount of characters deleted.
When uncommenting the commented code in delkey the program will not even build, resulting in an error message "149: Error: invalid constant (408) after fixup".

Code:
Code: [Select]

You could use macros to make your code more readable :)
Invalid constant (408) after fixup probably means that the target line is too far, though I can't see why (I'd expect such an error at an earlier line). The range of displacements for "adr" is limited, and IIRC, it's precisely to 0x400 (1024) bytes.

A bit later, after I posted this question, I started commenting out the lines it said. If I don't use the letter z it builds and works fine, so I thought it might had something to do with that adr and errors if anything is placed after it. However, it also works fine if I place letter_z anywhere above letter_y, why doesn't it this then also generate an error for the lowest letter (lowest as in las of he sprites)?
I'll have a look at macros and see what I can do with them :)

I think adr works from +/- 255 bytes from the instruction, or +/- 1024 bytes if it's word-aligned. I haven't looked at the code and it doesn't seem very likely, but maybe it's not word-aligned? I also think there's a cleaner way to do it than all those tst instructions. It might also be worthwhile to define some constants for things like reading keypresses: "ldr r0, =0x900E0010". What is =0x900E0010? ;)

Try putting "ALIGN" in front of the letter_z label.

I'm sure there are cleaner/better ways to do this as I'm only starting :) 0x900E0010 is the address from where to read for key presses. Putting ALIGN in front gives an error "bad instruction".
The 0x400 as a limit makes sense with the error messages, thanks for pointing it out.

You might try "align 4", but it looks like you've gone beyond the limit, i just saw all those sprites :O

Try ldr instead of adr. It'll put the value into a literal pool (basically a list of constants in your code, if you don't designate any specific area i believe it'll just put it at the end of the program, but it's gotta be within 4kb of the ldr instruction) and load it from there.

I'll try that when I go with a serious program. Right now I'm just seeing what I can do and ask some questions :) I want to have a couple of things done before I start a project, so that I know a bit about it. Though I'll try your suggestion of using ldr instead of adr. Thanks for the help :)
