a crc command

[Darrel Taylor]

Yes, you can pass more than 1 parameter.
For each additional parameter, another letter is added to the macro name.

If you used this line in your program ...
CRCC MyArray, 10

It would call the CRCC?BC macro.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Optional Parameters".
If a macro exists for the number of parameters used, it will call that macro.
So you can have commands that can accept any number of parameters, it just gets very complicated with too many of them.

A command with 1 parameter takes 7 macros, 1 for each type.
A command with 2 parameters takes 7*7=49 macros.
3 parameters ... 7*7*7=343 macros.

usercommand options

thanks for your reply darrel, i have some more quetsions about user commands
can you pass more than one var to a user command ?
can you pass optional var/s to a user command ?
i would need this to pass the array length to my crc command or must i use some other mechanism.

[Darrel Taylor]

That's a good start Richard.

>> BUT IT WOULD BE NICE TO CRC a WORD,STRING,OR AN ARRAY
A WORD is simply 2 BYTEs, so you can call the routine twice.

    MOVE?BB Win, _TempD     ; copy lowbyte to TempVar
    L?CALL _CRCa            ; run the crc subroutine
    MOVE?BB Win + 1, _TempD ; copy highbyte to TempVar
    L?CALL _CRCa            ; run the crc subroutine

A LONG has 4 bytes and would need 4 calls.

STRINGs are fixed at compile time and would always give the same result, so CRCing a string wouldn't be very useful.

For an Array, you would need to use a loop to cycle through each byte, sending them one at a time to the CRC routine.

------------
As for the BANKing, you have to manage that yourself when writing in assembly language.
If you write the routine in BASIC, then PBP will handle all the banking issues.

I use this code to calculate crc's for various one wire things ds18b20 etc i would like to make a user command out of it
its limitation is in having all variables in bank 0 ,to avoid mucking about with bank switching, i assuming using these macros will make this a lot easier and more reliable
my question is what is the best way to go about it
should the crc var be a system var and the other just temps located anywhere ?
can you pass more than one var to a user command ?
can you pass optional var/s to a user command ?

D VAR BYTE bank0 'input DATA to add to crc

crc=0 'set crc to 0
some code
d= "z" ' a byte to crc
call crca
do some more code
d= "x" more data to crc
call crca
send crc to something
