  NQC 2.1 released
 
NQC 2.1 has been released - (URL) features (from 2.0) include the switch statement, fast firmware download, and preliminary Scout support. For more information, refer to the README - (URL) Baum (25 years ago, 20-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
If you have a palm pilot, you can get the info you want using BrickRemote. Mike Kory Dave Baum <dbaum@spambgoneenteract.com> wrote in message news:dbaum-532A81.01...net.com... (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
(...) Good idea - also works well for MacNQC. I'll add it for the upcoming 2.1 release. Dave (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
Dave, How about doing the total and including it in the code listing? That way those of us that use RcxCC will be able to see it for more than a flash on the screen. (The download is only visable for a short time and then the window closes.) (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
Not at all, that would be EXTREMELY handy. Something for this release? or later down the road? (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
(...) As mentioned in another post you can add up the sizes of each task/sub in the listing. I know this is tedious. I was considering adding a diagnostic message after download that would show the total number of bytes downloaded. Anyone have (...) (25 years ago, 15-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
If you use RcxCC, look at the code listing. At the bottom of each task you will find the address of the last OP code. Just total them up and you have the size. If you don't have RcxCC, just use the -L option to generate the code listing. --- DonC (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  size of programs
 
Hi Is there an easy way of calculating the exact size of a program in bytes (for NQC). I would like to know how much I've got available for the datalog when the program is downloaded. The "dots" in the download-process, do they signify anything, or (...) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Having trouble with -D option
 
One other thing ... when I first made a simple program to demonstrate the problem, I used a lowercase d for my symbol and got this error: # Error: parse error File "rcx.nqh" ; line 118 # void SetDirection(const int o, const int d) { asm { 0xe1, (o) (...)

  Re: Having trouble with -D option
 
Thanks for the quick response. "It's fixed in the next release, which is due in a week or so" qualifies for excellent support, IMHO. :) My workaround is a REXX exec rewritting a small header file on the fly before each compile. -- Mark Haye, haye (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Having trouble with -D option
 
Yes, I noticed that too, but I'm trying to program multiple RCXs with the same source, and the symbol is meant to represent the RCX's id, so it must have multiple values. Thanks anyway for the quick response. -- Mark Haye, haye (at) us (dot) ibm (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: scout.nqh no longer necessary?
 
(...) Correct. Initially (2.1 b1) I put the Scout support in a separate include file because I wasn't ready to merge all of the changes together. As of b2, the compiler's built-in system include file includes RCX, Cybermaster, and Scout APIs. Dave (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: scout.nqh no longer necessary?
 
(...) Yes, this is true as of 2.1.b2. (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  scout.nqh no longer necessary?
 
It looks like Scout programs no longer need `#include "scout.nqh"', and the file has been removed from the NQC beta distribution. Is that correct? I've been confusing someone new to NQC because I didn't realize this :( --Ben (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Having trouble with -D option
 
You found a bug - NQC is actually defining D to be the tokens =1, which then leads to a lot of confusion later on. Basically I bungled the pointer math. I fixed the source so the next release (2.1 final) should be fine. I'll probably release 2.1 in (...) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Having trouble with -D option
 
(...) Same with 2.1b3. FWIW, #ifdef D task main() {} #endif works as expected. D is getting defined, just not to 1. (Or to any number.) (25 years ago, 11-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Having trouble with -D option
 
If I compile this program (named d.nqc): /* nqc program */ #if (D == 1) task main() {} #endif with the command: nqc -DD=1 d.nqc I get the following error: # Error: syntax error in expression File "d.nqc" ; line 2 # #if (D == 1) # ^ #---...--- # 1 (...)

  nqc.mattdm.org
 
I set up (URL) to be the permanent home of the Linux binaries and RPM packages I'm building for Dave. The old URL will still work -- it just gets redirected. (25 years ago, 6-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: lego photo scanner... Quite C?
