errors in asm code

Started by vsevindik December 5, 2003
hi,
i am a new member of this group.
i want to ask something.I have Rulph Chassaing book abot TMS320C30.
I have also program codes which is written in book by him.
I am using TMS320C30 simulator and for compiling i am using "Codegen
tools v5.10".I compile and run all of the programs up to now, but i
encountered a problem in one asm program.
I have appropriote cmd file.When i run program, i see these errors.

C:\c3xtools>cl30 -sq -o2 LP11BF2.ASM -z -v0 LP11.ASM
<lp11bf2.asm>
XN .USECT "XN_BUFF",LENGTH ;BUFFER SIZE OF SAMPLES
"lp11bf2.asm", line 10: AN IDENTIFIER IN THE EXPRESSION IS INVALID

HN .USECT "HN_BUFF",LENGTH ;COEFF BUFFER SIZE IN RAM
"lp11bf2.asm", line 11: AN IDENTIFIER IN THE EXPRESSION IS INVALID 2 Errors, No Warnings

Errors in source - Assembler Aborted

and cmd file

is there anyone who encounters this error before?

Hello V

At the moment I dont have Rulph's C3x book in front of me (C25 version wont
do much good), but Im 99% sure that a value for LENGTH is not defined
*before* attempting to use it. The first example below would cause an
error, while the second works just fine.

LABEL_1 .usect "MYUSECT_1",SIZE_1 ; SIZE_1 is not known yet.
SIZE_1 .set 3 ; definition after (or by linker) will fail

SIZE_2 .set 3 ; define *before* usage
LABEL_2 .usect "MYUSECT_2",SIZE_2 ; SIZE_2 is known... this is OK

Note:

I know that Rulph wrote one of his C3x books (there are two) based on the
C3x DSK so it is likely that if you are porting code between them some minor
differences can creep in when comparing ASM30 to DSK3A, the DSK assembler.

DSK3A is essentially a linkerless assembler that is designed to create
simple code rapidly and with little fuss. Basically it generates an
executable output rather than object code by knowing where to put code and
data before an assembly directive is encountered. Not surprisingly it
occasionally does a better job of forward resolving things.

Strictly speaking I dont think a .usect size is really needed in the first
pass of the assembler, so this should (in my opinion) still be resolvable.
But thats the breaks of how COFF works.

Best regards
Keith Larson
