    The only additional instructions are: / and /+

    They are used to align tables or set them to specific locations in the binary code string


    Simple examples:

    jmp long ok
    o2 /0c
    .ok
    ret

    produces:

    0000: e9 07 00 00 00
    0002: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
    000C: c3

    jmp long ok
    o2 /+4
    .ok
    ret


    produces

    0000: e9 03 00 00 00
    0005: 00 00 00
    0008: c3


    you can see how this is applied in the import section of an EXE.
    There is some fiddly pointering going on here, but the tables can be kept aligned to the correct boundaries.

    ga produces the 4 byte offset for a specified label. (start of code string=0)

    My studies in Assembly are going slow, but I keep plugging away. With all the capabilities Charles is providing it is incentive to keep studying. I Can see now that once it is learned you can do anything, since Charles is developing the compiler and already his module can be used to create your own language in a way. And all of this can be done via thinbasic and the modules, it is incredible!

    But being the moth drawn to light of higher level languages I wander off of assembly in search of the light to often!

    Hi Kent,
    I hope we will be able to build higher levels with the h2o project soon. I am trying to crack the hardest nuts first - hence working on Hash tables, operator precedence, PE formats etc.
