How to compile a long Basic program?
ZXNet echo conference «code.zx»
Hello, All
You need to compile a 13Kb file. I tried it with Tobos, but it didn't work
enough memory. I heard that it can somehow compile into the BASIC file itself. But
how to do this? Or is it better to use another compiler. Fractional numbers in
no program. But there are machine code calls.
Hello, Jukov
I don’t want to deceive, but IMHO there were 2 versions of Tobos, which compiled what is in
memory, and the second one which compiled the file.
To be honest, the last time I saw Tobos was in 1995 ;)
but by the way, if you don’t have fractional numbers, then there’s probably no point in using
tobos. there are a bunch of integer compilers (though I couldn’t remember any
one name)
and this also confuses me - “But there are machine code calls.”
It seems to me that if the procedure in the code somehow influenced the wasik, then after
The compile will not work.

Juk> Or it is better to use another compiler.
It is better to transfer as much of the program as possible to machine code. And there is less vasik
there will be performance and the performance will increase.

Hello, gRAVER_ZX
An alternative solution has been found - everything that was slowing down is now written in code.
Hello TomCaT
On my real Spectrum, when I was programming in BASIC, I compiled
your programs in Delphin.
working with it is quite simple, it is located in memory at address 40000, and
compiled program - from 53100, but I can lie (I don’t remember when they
The last time I used it was probably five years ago).
I added the following lines to my BASIC program
9990 randomize usr 40000
9999 randomize usr 53100
Accordingly, first I compile the program with the command run 9990
and then I run it - run 9999
that is, if the BASIC area in memory is located at address approximately 26000, and
the compiler itself is from 40000. then 99 percent is that your long program
will compile. The question is, will you find the delphin compiler now?
Hello, Jukov
This is the best compiler! :v2_yahoo; Manual; Job.
Hello, Jukov
This is probably the best compiler: v2_yahoo; --; it's handmade,
That’s why it’s valued higher.
Hello, Jukov
as an option: you can try to split the BASIC program into separate
subroutines and compile them separately. if the compiler allows it,
place them closely behind each other (usually compiled code
located immediately above RAMTOP). and compile the main program into
last thing. the problem will only be in passing variables to procedures, which
can be solved using PEEK and POKE.
