Compiler error

[Ecoli-557]

Hello-
I have just noticed a window (there are 3 that are stacked so I didnt notice) that states Optimiser (Not Responding)  when Re-assembling.
It gives up and finishes.
Version 4.0.5.1 of Positron8.
Process takes some time and now I wonder what is wrong with the installation.
Anyone have some info to tell me where to go next?
Regards.

Hi Ecoli-557,

that sounds normal with larger programs. Do you get program successfully compiled, if yes then all is normal.

Thanks, it just takes a lot of time to get past the 'Not Responding' part.
There is no software switch to affect this?

Hi,
I wonder if the Optimiser is on by default, try adding
 
Declare Optimiser_Level = 0

to the start of your code.

When the text "re-assembling" is shown, the optimiser has finished its pass and the assembler code is busy re-assembling.

The Mpasm assembler can be rather slow at times, and the later windows versions are far too impatient and show "not responding" far too often, even when programs are working as they should, but not fast enough in the operating system's opinion!
