Hi Dinoneno.

Thanks for your continued work on ccz80.
I don't use the IDE (I compile from the command line), but I am very interested in some of the changes in 3.1.0.

"Allows you to specify constant values of type byte, word and string as an expression of constant operands."

Can you please give an example of this?

Thanks.

Of course. So far when it required a value of type byte or word was necessary to specify a constant:

array byte coordinates [100];

Now you can do:

byte array coordinates [50 * 2];

This is most useful when using macros:

define elements = 50; // define macro elements
array byte coordinates[elements * 2];

Another example:

define value = 5;
array byte table = { value, value * 2, value + 5, 10 / value };

Another example using strings:

define prefix = "Error code ";
prints(prefix + "1");
prints(prefix + "2");

And another more:

define value = 10;
asm
{
"ld a," + value,
"ld b," + value / 2,
"add a,b"
}

I hope to give an idea of this new functionality.

Ah yes, that all makes perfect sense.
It looks like very useful new functionality!
Thanks for the explanation.
