CHAPTER 5: ASSEMBLER
5.8 Summary of Compatibility with the Older Tool

The assembler provides the new features added to the old assembler asm62XX. However the compatibil-

ity with the old syntax is preserved by supporting old syntax as the synonym of the new syntax. As the

result, as62 can process the old syntax sources without any modification. To realize it, the assembler

accepts old syntax elements and interprets them to their equivalent counterparts in new syntax elements.

The converted results are delivers to the preprocessed file (.ms).

The priority of the operators follows the old tool's priory.

The old syntax elements are handled as follows:

Numeric notation

Old Meaning New
####B Binary number →0b####
####O Octal number →0x#### (the base is converted)
####Q Octal number →0x#### (the base is converted)
####H Hexadecimal number →0x####
