This is a generic solution for doing labels (forward and backward
references) in an assembler program.
How to use local labels
=======================
Example:
Label 10pause
10 # ldy,
1 $: dey,
1 $ bne,
rts,
End-Label
"n $:" defines an address reference. "n $" returns the address of the
reference defined with "n $:".
How to embed local labels in your assembler
===========================================
At the moment all references are forward references, meaning all
references are resolved at the end of the definition.
The Simple Resolver
-------------------
The only special thing is how a label is resolved. Numref does this by
executing a resolver-word. For example, consider a two byte opcode
with the second byte as branch-offset. The resolver-word would look
like this:
: doresolve ( iaddr -- )
dup ref-addr @ - swap 1+ X c! ;
iaddr is the address of the instruction with the reference that must
be resolved. The destination address of the reference is stored at ref-addr.
The resolver-word must be registered like this:
"' doresolve TO std-resolver"
This is not a deferred word!
Complex Resolving
-----------------
To support different cpu-instruction with different operand formats it
is possible to find out the type of opcode by accessing the target's
memory in doresolve. This works for very simple processors, e.g. for
6502 it is very easy to find out whether we have a 2-byte absolute
address or a 1-byte relative address.
If this method is too difficult, it is possible to store additional
information in the resolve structure.
When assembling an opcode you should find out whether the address is a
reference and then store the xt of a special resolver word in the
resolve structure by "ref-resolver !", or store some additional data
in the resolve structure by "ref-data !", if one data field is not
enough, allocate memory and use ref-data as pointer to it.
Internal structure
==================
There is a heap buffer to store the references. The structure of one
entry is:
1 cell ref-link
1 cell ref-flag \ mixture of tag-number
\ and tag type
1 cell ref-resolver \ xt of resolver
1 cell ref-addr \ pointer to destination or on reference
\ instruction
\ (start of the instruction)
1 cell ref-data \ additional information for resolver

0 value ref-marker \ tells us that address is an reference
0 value ref-now \ points to the reference we are working on
