(...) As mentioned in another post you can add up the sizes of each task/sub in the listing. I know this is tedious.

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)

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)

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) (...)

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 (...)

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.

(...) 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)

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)

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)
