Array operations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

len(x)
Number of values in the array value x, or the number of characters in a string (excluding the size or 0-byte).
Note: this can be different from the number of *bytes* in memory if the datatype isn't a byte. See sizeof().
Note: lengths of strings and arrays are determined at compile-time! If your program modifies the actual
length of the string during execution, the value of len(string) may no longer be correct!

Strings and memory blocks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
memcopy(from, to, numbytes)
Efficiently copy a number of bytes (1 - 256) from a memory location to another.
NOTE: 'to' must NOT overlap with 'from', unless it is *before* 'from'.
Because this function imposes some overhead to handle the parameters,
it is only faster if the number of bytes is larger than a certain threshold.
Compare the generated code to see if it was beneficial or not.
The most efficient will always be to write a specialized copy routine in assembly yourself!
sizeof(name)
Number of bytes that the object 'name' occupies in memory. This is a constant determined by the data type of
the object. For instance, for a variable of type uword, the sizeof is 2.
For an 10 element array of floats, it is 50 (on the C-64, where a float is 5 bytes).
Note: usually you will be interested in the number of elements in an array, use len() for that.
memset(address, numbytes, bytevalue)
Efficiently set a part of memory to the given (u)byte value.
But the most efficient will always be to write a specialized fill routine in assembly yourself!
Note that for clearing the character screen, very fast specialized subroutines are
available in the ``txt`` block (part of the ``textio`` module)
memsetw(address, numwords, wordvalue)
Efficiently set a part of memory to the given (u)word value.
But the most efficient will always be to write a specialized fill routine in assembly yourself!
leftstr(source, target, length)
Copies the left side of the source string of the given length to target string.
It is assumed the target string buffer is large enough to contain the result.
Modifies in-place, doesn't return a value (so can't be used in an expression).
rightstr(source, target, length)
Copies the right side of the source string of the given length to target string.
It is assumed the target string buffer is large enough to contain the result.
Modifies in-place, doesn't return a value (so can't be used in an expression).
strlen(str)
Number of bytes in the string. This value is determined during runtime and counts upto
the first terminating 0 byte in the string, regardless of the size of the string during compilation time.
Don't confuse this with ``len`` and ``sizeof``
strcmp(string1, string2)
Returns -1, 0 or 1 depeding on wether string1 sorts before, equal or after string2.
Note that you can also directly compare strings and string values with eachother
using ``==``, ``<`` etcetera (it will use strcmp for you under water automatically).
substr(source, target, start, length)
Copies a segment from the source string, starting at the given index,
and of the given length to target string.
It is assumed the target string buffer is large enough to contain the result.
Modifies in-place, doesn't return a value (so can't be used in an expression).
Miscellaneous
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
exit(returncode)
Immediately stops the program and exits it, with the returncode in the A register.
Note: custom interrupt handlers remain active unless manually cleared first!
lsb(x)
Get the least significant byte of the word x. Equivalent to the cast "x as ubyte".
@ -767,19 +826,10 @@ lsb(x)
msb(x)
Get the most significant byte of the word x.
sgn(x)
Get the sign of the value. Result is -1, 0 or 1 (negative, zero, positive).
mkword(msb, lsb)
Efficiently create a word value from two bytes (the msb and the lsb). Avoids multiplication and shifting.
So mkword($80, $22) results in $8022.
any(x)
1 ('true') if any of the values in the array value x is 'true' (not zero), else 0 ('false')
all(x)
1 ('true') if all of the values in the array value x are 'true' (not zero), else 0 ('false')
rnd()
returns a pseudo-random byte from 0..255

====
- get rid of all other TODO's in the code ;-)
- modify string comparison expressions to use strcmp() automatically
- only allow array indexing via a number, a variable, or a typecast of one of those (eliminate complex expression calcs for array indexing, force explicit use of an index variable)
- implement @stack for asmsub parameters
- make it possible to use cpu opcodes such as 'nop' as variable names by prefixing all asm vars with something such as '_'
