[FEATURE] .INC to include relative directory to the source file being assembled.

[cyraid]

Man, I'm keeping you busy! Sheesh eh @vhelin ? Lower priority, but, I've found that I'm including a file, but that file includes another file (that is relative to it, in the same directory). It wouldn't know what -I <dir> are being included, and doesn't wanna include the wrong common.inc for example. Could you make include a relative file with .INC? Maybe .INC RELATIVE "this_is_in_the_same_dir_as_this_file.inc"? (to not break backwards compatibility) :)

[vhelin]

Yeah, you solved my issue how to spend my free time lately. :)

But sounds good, I'll come back to this after the two previous issues have been solved...

[vhelin]

I accidentally added RELATIVE/LATESTDIR to .INCLUDE, then found a way to add RELATIVEDIR which is what you are asking for. I hope these will fix this issue :)

[vhelin]

Tomorrow I'll look into adding these to .INCBIN if it makes sense. Too tired right now to figure out if it makes any sense :)

Wow, works great! You've been nailing all these feature upgrades like it's a hot knife through butter! I've been working with your assembler almost every day, for many hours. So I'm using it ALL the time haha .. Last night I worked so much till I was feeling ill! (I know, not good, but I need this demo created by the end of the month).

I'm creating an SNES Music Engine (so using both 65816 and SPC700) that loads a file made from Furnace Tracker that my importer creates. It is for a company that they're creating a NES/SNES Game Editor. It's been quite the wild ride as SNES has quite a lot of quirks that I've been discovering. Thank you so much for making my job easier and easier with all these upgrades. :)

The other feature I requested will help reduce a lot of code and complexity unless I have access to a 'current label' builtin function? Like get("lastlabel") or get("label.last") (so that I can use that to combine a new label) and the current ORG, get("org") ? But the .CONTENT Macro would be a lot more elegant. lol

[vhelin]

I love your energy levels and enthusiasm! :) I'm just happy to make WLA DX better for all you users.

That SNES Music Engine sounds great, I'm a big fan of SNES music!

The CONTENT feature for a .MACRO requires some planning, I don't want to do that tired and quickly as it'll be probably quite a hack or then requires a lot from the parser, need to think about it. get("label.latest") would be quite easy to implement, perhaps get("org") as well, perhaps I'll try to implement them all...

Used a sleep analyzer for the 1st time yesterday night, in the morning it said I have severe sleep apnea, which explains why I'm so tired these days and have memory problems. Gotta lose weight. :) And go out more often for walks...

Anyway, I'll slowly work on this issue, next I'll see if I can add "get("org"), and then try to do that .CONTENT thing, but don't expect them to appear quickly, need to rest more...

[cyraid]

@vhelin Hi friend! Nice to hear from you. I don't seem to sleep well either! Maybe I should get my sleep checked out, but I do need to lose weight too, lol ..

Your sleep is more important to me than speedy updates. Take your time, I have workarounds till then! The get("org") and get("label.latest") would be ample good for now.

Take care my friend, okay?

[vhelin]

Please let me know if there's an issue with org() or orga()!

I'll be laid off next Monday, probably for a while, until the slave drivers can find me a new project or I can find a better job. I'll hopefully have some free time before going to work again so I can try to solve my sleep apnea issues etc., and have more time and energy to spend on WLA DX among other nice things in life. :)

[cyraid]

Hi @vhelin ! Nice to hear from you. A break does sound nice. :) You definitely deserve it.

I haven't tried org() yet! I didn't know you snuck that in, you silly guy lol

Most important is your health and for you to keep getting better and your sleep fixed up! I got hit with some bad infection problems myself that got me bedridden for days in a row.

I'm gonna try to pursuade the company to use your assembler and switch from asm16. Would there be any way to make it compatible just switching from that? Would you know?
