MAX SYMBOLS error
« on: January 08, 2011, 10:14:47 pm »
I am wondering why the maximum amount of symbols is 150. Anyone know? (Quigibo?)

Probably because of a buffer holding all of the symbols only allocates 150 of them.

Yeah, but I'm wondering HOW  they are stored, and if it would be possible to compress them so as to be able to have more symbols.

Well, it could be possible to compress them.  But it would make it harder on quigibo.  I don't know the full math, but it would rely on the fact that the MSB wouldn't have to be 00h-FFh.

Its actually 153 now.  Its because they fit conveniently onto one of the buffers since each entry is 5 bytes.  768/5 = 153.  I'm already using compression so it really isn't possible to compress anymore.  Of the 5 bytes, 2 are a pointer, and the last 3 hold 4 6-bit entries for the name and type of symbol.

I'm surprised you're getting this error, that's A LOT of symbols.  You can reduce the count by relative referencing.  Like instead of:
Code: [Select]
[1234]->Str1
[5678]->Str2
[9ABC]->Str3

Disp Str1,Str2,Str3

You can do:
Code: [Select]
[1234]->Str1
[5678]
[9ABC]

Disp Str1,Str1+2,Str1+4

Also, getting rid of Lbl's that you never actually use.

I'm not getting the error, but I'm making an RPG, and think I might. Why not make a pre-scan and find out how many labels are needed, then allocate that much mem in an appvar?

If you have 150 labels, your compiled code probably shouldn't fit in RAM anyways. :P

You could put all that text in one var, and just start reading at different bytes, and that would save a lot of labels and static pointers.

I could, I'm just lazy and don't feel like counting all the letters.

The program can count it for you.  If you have texts right after eachother, they are separated by zeros.  So using the length command in a loop, you can create a routine to get a pointer to the Nth line of text.

Wait, seriously?  So if I have something like this...
Code: (input) [Select]
"Hello
"World
"A
"More text"->Str1
each line secretly has a zero tacked on to it?

No... but you can add the zero yourself with [00] when you aren't using the store.  Also, the store should be on the first line of text, not the last one.

Wait, I can mix and match strings and hex?

So would this be valid?:
Code: [Select]
"Hello[20574F524C44]"->Str1
Disp Str1>Char
and would it display
Code: [Select]
HELLO WORLD
?
