                     29: 
                     30: Label 10pause
                     31:                10 # ldy,

                     36: 
                     37: "n $:" defines an address reference. "n $" returns the address of the
                     38: reference defined with "n $:".

1.5       crook      41: How to embed local labels in your assembler
                     42: ===========================================
                     43: 
                     44: At the moment all references are forward references, meaning all
                     45: references are resolved at the end of the definition.

                     47: The Simple Resolver
1.5       crook      48: -------------------
1.1       pazsan     49: 
1.5       crook      50: The only special thing is how a label is resolved. Numref does this by
                     51: executing a resolver-word. For example, consider a two byte opcode
                     52: with the second byte as branch-offset. The resolver-word would look
                     53: like this:
1.1       pazsan     54: 
1.5       crook      55: : doresolve ( iaddr -- )
1.1       pazsan     56:   dup ref-addr @ - swap 1+ X c! ;
                     57: 
                     58: iaddr is the address of the instruction with the reference that must
                     59: be resolved. The destination address of the reference is stored at ref-addr.
                     60: 
1.5       crook      61: The resolver-word must be registered like this:
                     62: 
                     63:  "' doresolve TO std-resolver"
                     64: 
                     65: This is not a deferred word!
1.1       pazsan     66: 
                     67: Complex Resolving
1.5       crook      68: -----------------
1.1       pazsan     69: 
1.5       crook      70: To support different cpu-instruction with different operand formats it
                     71: is possible to find out the type of opcode by accessing the target's
                     72: memory in doresolve. This works for very simple processors, e.g. for
                     73: 6502 it is very easy to find out whether we have a 2-byte absolute
                     74: address or a 1-byte relative address.
1.1       pazsan     75: 
1.5       crook      76: If this method is too difficult, it is possible to store additional
1.1       pazsan     77: information in the resolve structure.
                     78: 
                     79: When assembling an opcode you should find out whether the address is a
1.5       crook      80: reference and then store the xt of a special resolver word in the
                     81: resolve structure by "ref-resolver !", or store some additional data
                     82: in the resolve structure by "ref-data !", if one data field is not
                     83: enough, allocate memory and use ref-data as pointer to it.
1.1       pazsan     84: 
1.5       crook      85: Internal structure
                     86: ==================
1.1       pazsan     87: 
1.5       crook      88: There is a heap buffer to store the references.  The structure of one
                     89: entry is:
1.1       pazsan     90:
