chump

There have been two main additions to chump. Firstly it allows enumerations to get rid of the laboreous process of defining long consecutive lists like registers.

  (enum 2 "r0" "r1" "r2" "r3")

reather than

  (("r0")(OO)) (("r1")(OI)) (("r2")(OI)) (("r3")(II))

The second addition is the ability to have inline C type structuures in the assembler. Its nice to be able to have lines like:

  while (r1 > r2) sub r1, r1, r2;

Or even larger structures like:

  do {add r1, r1, #1; ldrb r0, [r2, r1];}
  while (r0 != #0)

These are easily defined in the chump code and generate several instructions. The disassembler can generate more C like code, but this is normally turned off.

Isn't perl lovely? I had a little play with it the other day and created a nice link page. Unfortunately coming back down to C is a little strange. I'm constantly thinking in high level languages. I maniged to convince someone to convince someone (not a mistake) to have a go at writing a good universal schematic capture package. It should be very useful.
