#133830 - path???? Which path????? Responding to: ???'s previous message |
It was you not me who said there is no linker in Metalink's asm... and it's you not me who comes up with linker in the very next post... Huh?
Erik Malund said:
if the assembler/compiler/linker does not give the path to the include file, how is the emulator going to find it? And how did the assembler/compiler know that path? The emulator may demand the same! Erik Malund said:
The connections made by the compiler are not forwarded to the linker which, after all is which gives the emulator what it works with. Even if we assume there IS a linker, as you said: the emulator HAS the sources. If the compiler/assembler managed to figure out where the include file is and what does it contain, the emulator software ultimately can do the same. After all, they DO syntax highlighting don't they? That means a quite high level of parsing anyway... Erik Malund said:
Thus the problem is NOT the emulator (Jan, please stop the confusion, do not mix 'simulator' and 'emulator') but the compiler/linker. No, no, and once again, no. It's the emulator maker who wants to make the deal: to sell the emulator. If I know his emulator IS flawed, I don't care HOW and WHY. I will go to the competition and ask, how do their emulators handle includes in assembler - and decide accordingly. OK I know there are not so many competitors making relatively cheap '51-emulators... --- Shouldn't we start a new thread rather than hijacking this for what emulators and alike do and don't? JW |
