ASM error with 3.7.5.5 and ST7565 include.

[broderic]

Hello.
I downloaded for the moment the trial version, some old codes run properly, but the enclosed one gives me an assembler error (see enclosed) at the end of the compilation.
I guess related to display mnemonics and ST7565 includes (?).

Thank you for any kind suggestion.

Regards

Hello.

The errors disappeared if I comment the lines below (GLCD@CLS, GLCD@CURS,Print) and I replace them with the instructions with double underscore (__GLCD_CLS_,...), as below, in the "GLCD_ST7565R_SPI.inc".

Not clear to me the reason for this necessary change, but it seems to work.
I don't know if I loose some functionality.

Thank you for your attention.
Regards

Quite a few years ago, I had to start changing the names of the 8-bit compiler's library routines because the newer assembler applications have problems recognising the '@' character in label and symbol and variable names etc, and for the next assembler version, I will need to re-write the code generator for the compiler altogether because it does not recognise them at all. However, to bring the brand new devices into the compiler, there is no choice.

The new assembler for the new devices is based upon the GCC assembler, because the original MpasmWin assembler no longer supports them, so the next upgrades to the compiler will use the existing assembler program for the current devices and the new assembler for the newer devices. This means backward compatability is kept for the user who enjoy reading the assembler code the compiler produces.

The name changes have been discussed and explained quite a lot over the years on the forums. But the problem with forums is that, overtime, the information dissapears. And unless a user has a thread name that is relevant to the thread's contents, a search will not find it either.

Thank you very much, Les, for your kind explanation.
