Dear Philipp,
I see you have been busy fighting the assembler (devil, details)... I also
could not get it to extract the high byte of a 24 bit word (.msb is not
available), but I could trick it into generating useful code like in the
example below.
===================
; Write AC ah am al.
jpf _test2
; Change jpf (AC) into ld a, #ah (A6 ah).
. = . - 4
.db 0xA6
. = . + 1
; Bytes am al can be overwitten with subsequent instructions.
===================
The result file:
===================
174 ; Write AC ah am al.
010080 AC 01 00 94 [ 2] 175 jpf _test2
176 ; Change jpf (AC) into ld a,
#ah (A6 ah).
00805C 177 . = . - 4
010080 A6 178 .db 0xA6
00805E 179 . = . + 1
180 ; Bytes am al can be
overwitten with subsequent instructions.
181 ; test.c: 112: return x + 1;
010082 .. .. [ 2] 182 ...
===================
A bit confusing to read, but it works for this little test. Do you think it
can also work with the code generator?
