Embedded Strings in your Code Space

[Darrel Taylor]

I guess the move went well, it seems to still be notifying us, and replies are going to the new thread. That's the first time I've split a thread, so I wasn't sure.

Back to the topic, this isn't quite what I had thought of earlier, but the code changed since then. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it does compile.

So assuming everything is working, I wanted to add one thing that gets you closer to that 1 line "embedded message strings" that you're looking for.

Here's a simple macro that should do the same thing that you have now, but only takes 1 line (of PBP code) to do it. It needs to be before Main:

ASM
SendStr  macro Astring
    call _prntSTR
    data Astring,0
    endm
ENDASM

Now in the "Main" code, it'll look like this...

Main:
   CALL USART_Init

@ SendStr "This is a string" 
@ SendStr "yet another string again"
@ SendStr "and one more time!"

OR, of course it could also be...

ASM
  SendStr "This is a string" 
  SendStr "yet another string again"
  SendStr "and one more time!"
ENDASM
