When I wasn’t spending my time eating food to survive and doing laundry, I was click-clacking on my new mechanical keyboard that arrived today. I bought this nice MX Cherry Black model from WASD Keyboards, \u00a0and I customized the look of it a little bit with some colorful keys and such. So far, it’s got nice and pretty comfortable, I think I like it a lot more than my previous keyboard.<\/p>\n
So yeah, using that new keyboard, I typed things! Words and code and stuff.\u00a0I think I finally finished the partial constant folding business of the assignment statement code-gen stuff in my Game Boy Assembly language, wiz.<\/p>\n
Here’s how it looked before I removed the debug messages:<\/p>\n
examples\/test.wiz(32): error: Howsdfsdfsdfsdf is that even\n examples\/test.wiz(32): error: YAH\n examples\/test.wiz(32): error: HUUAAA222H\n examples\/test.wiz(39): error: Howsdfsdfsdfsdf is that even\n examples\/test.wiz(39): error: NAH wiz.ast.infix.Infix 16814\n examples\/test.wiz(77): error: DAFUQ\n examples\/test.wiz(77): error: HUUAAA222H\n examples\/test.wiz(39): error: NAH2wiz.ast.number.Number\n examples\/test.wiz(77): error: Howsdfsdfsdfsdf is that even\n examples\/test.wiz(77): error: YAH\n examples\/test.wiz(77): error: HUUAAA222H\n examples\/test.wiz(85): error: reference to undeclared symbol 'hardware_type'<\/pre>\nSo yeah, this is good news, because it means I can start generating code for runtime computations in source expressions, that occur after the left-most expression of the source is loaded into the destination. \u00a0This means that<\/p>\n
a = 100 * 3 - 4 + b + c<\/pre>\nwill essentially become:<\/p>\n
a = 296\n a = a + b\n a = a + c<\/pre>\nHooray! I think I can do this. There probably lots and lots of bugs I’ll introduce before I finish, and I’ll have to do lots of cleanup, but we’re getting somewhere!<\/p>\n
