main must be present.

| routine main {
|    nop
| }
= True

| routine frog {
|    nop
| }
? missing 'main' routine

A comment may appear at the start of a block.

| routine main {
|    ; this program does nothing
|    nop
| }
= True

A comment may appear after each command.

| routine main {
|    lda #1   ; we assemble the fnord using
|    ldx #1   ; multiple lorem ipsums which
|    ldy #1
|    lda #1   ; we
|    ldx #1   ; found under the bridge by the old mill yesterday
| }
= True

A comment may appear after each declaration.

| reserve byte lives      ; fnord
| assign byte gdcol 647   ; fnord
| external blastoff 4     ; fnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnfffffffff
| 
| routine main {
|   nop
| }
= True

A program may reserve and assign.

| reserve byte lives
| assign byte gdcol 647
| reserve word score
| assign word memstr 641
| reserve vector v
| assign vector cinv 788
| reserve byte table frequencies
| assign byte table screen 1024
| routine main {
|    nop
| }
= True

A program may declare an external.

| external blastoff 49152
| routine main {
|    jsr blastoff
| }
= True

All declarations (reserves and assigns) must come before any routines.

| routine main {
|    lda score
| }
| reserve word score
? expecting "routine"

All locations used in all routines must be declared first.

| reserve byte score
| routine main {
|    lda score
|    cmp screen
| }
? undeclared location

Even in inner blocks.

| reserve byte score
| assign byte screen 1024
| routine main {
|    lda score
|    cmp screen
|    if beq {
|      lda score
|    } else {
|      lda fnord
|    }
| }
? undeclared location

All routines jsr'ed to must be defined, or external.

| routine main {
|    jsr blastoff
| }
? undeclared routine

No duplicate location names in declarations.

| reserve word score
| assign word score 4000
| routine main {
|    nop
| }
? duplicate location name

No duplicate routine names.

| routine main {
|    nop
| }
| routine main {
|    txa
| }
? duplicate routine name

No duplicate routine names, including externals.

| external main 7000
| routine main {
|    nop
| }
? duplicate routine name

We can jump to a vector.

| reserve vector blah
| routine main {
|    jmp blah
| }
= True

We can't jump to a word.

| reserve word blah
| routine main {
|    jmp blah
| }
? jmp to non-vector

We can't jump to a byte.

| assign byte screen 1024
| routine main {
|    jmp screen
| }
? jmp to non-vector

We can absolute-indexed a byte table.

| assign byte table screen 1024
| routine main {
|    sta screen, x
| }
= True

We cannot absolute-indexed a byte.

| assign byte screen 1024
| routine main {
|    sta screen, x
| }
? indexed access of non-table

We cannot absolute-indexed a word.

| assign word screen 1024
| routine main {
|    sta screen, x
| }
? indexed access of non-table

We cannot absolute access a word.

| assign word screen 1024
| routine main {
|    ldx screen
| }
? incompatible types 'Word' and 'Byte'

No, not even with ora.

| assign word screen 1024
| routine main {
|    ora screen
| }
? incompatible types 'Byte' and 'Word'

Instead, we have to do this.

| assign word screen 1024
| routine main {
|    lda <screen
|    lda >screen
| }
= True

We cannot absolute access a vector.

| assign vector screen 1024
| routine main {
|    lda screen
| }
? incompatible types 'Vector' and 'Byte'
