INLINE ASSEMBLER
Version 2.19


OVERVIEW

INLINE.EXE is an assembler designed to produce Inline 8086/8088
and 8087 code for Turbo Pascal (tm) versions 3 and 4 programs.
Like other assemblers, INLINE accepts as input an assembly
language source file and produces an object file. However, in
this case, the 'object' file is an ASCII file consisting of
Inline statements which may be inserted into the Turbo Pascal
program.

Figure 1 illustrates a Pascal function with Inline code generated
by INLINE using the source file of Figure 2.


LOADING AND RUNNING INLINE

First create an EXE file, INLINE.EXE, by compiling INLINE.PAS
using version 4 of the Turbo Pascal compiler.

INLINE is called at the DOS prompt with two filename parameters
specifying the names of the source and object files. If no
extensions are given, .ASM and .OBJ are used by default. For
instance,

INLINE ABC DEF

will cause INLINE to look for a source file, ABC.ASM, and create
an object file, DEF.OBJ. Files with no extension may be input or
created by using a simple '.' for the extension.

If the object filename is missing from the command line, an OBJ
file will be created using the same name as the source file. If
neither filename is specified, then names will be requested once
execution starts.

Once execution begins, INLINE will run to completion with the
only console output being error messages.


SYNTAX

The appendix lists the mnemonics accepted by INLINE. Syntax and
mnemonics correspond to that used by most assemblers but note
should be made of the following:




1











1. Turbo Pascal symbols may be used within instruction entries
by preceding the symbol with a '>' (16 bit symbol) or a '<'
(8 bit symbol). The characters '+' and '-' are considered
part of the symbol. This allows computations using symbols
to be passed on to the compiler where the computation can be
made. For instance, in

MOV AX,[>SYMBOL+4] ;'>SYMBOL+4' is passed on
MOV AX,[BP+>SYMBOL+4] ;again '>SYMBOL+4' is passed on
MOV AX,>SYMBOL+4[BP] ;also acceptable

Note that

MOV AX,[>SYMBOL+4+BP]

is not correct since the wrong instruction will be generated
and '>SYMBOL+4+BP' will be passed on.

2. Labels (for use with jump instructions) may be defined
simply by appending a ':' to the first item on a line.
Avoid using CS:, DS:, ES:, and SS: as labels, as these
specify segment overrides.

3. Numerical entries are assumed to be decimal unless preceded
by a '$' indicating a hexadecimal entry. Characters within
single quotes may be used for numerical entries as:

CMP AL,'a'

4. Square brackets are used to indicate 'contents of'. If no
square brackets are used, an immediate operand is assumed.

MOV AX,[>DATA] ;Load AX with the contents of DATA.
MOV AX,>DATA ;Load AX with DATA.

5. Instruction prefixes and segment override prefixes may
precede the instruction on the same line or may be included
on a previous line. A colon is optional after the segment
prefix.

ES: MOV AX,[1234] ;ok
REPNE MOVSB ;ok
MOV AX,ES:[1234] ;incorrect syntax for INLINE

6. Comments may be included in the source. They are delimited
by a ';'.

7. Instructions which don't clearly specify the data size
require that BYTE PTR, WORD PTR, DWORD PTR, QWORD PTR, or
TBYTE PTR be used. These may be abbreviated by using the
first two letters.



2











INC BYTE PTR [>BDATA]
DEC WO >WARRAY[DI]
FLD QWORD [>DBL_REAL]

8. JMP instructions may use SHORT, NEAR, or FAR (they should
not be abbreviated). In the absence of one of these words,
a SHORT jump will be encoded if the label is already defined
and is within range. If the label is not defined, a NEAR
JMP will be encoded unless SHORT is used.

A FAR CALL or JMP may be made to a direct address by stating
both the segment and offset separated by a colon.


CALL FAR $1234:$5678

For Turbo Version 3 only, direct CALL's or JMP's may be made
to other Turbo procedures and functions using symbolic
names. The '*' location counter reference is required (not
available in version 4) to allow Turbo to determine the
correct displacement, as:

CALL >PROCNAME-*-2

Null JMP's which may be required for delay between port
calls on the 80286, may be made as;

JMP >0 ;or
JMP SHORT <0

Normally INLINE generates only one Inline statement per source
file. However, the 'NEW' pseudo-instruction may be used to
terminate one Inline statement and begin another. Using the NEW
instruction, it is possible to create a number of Inline
statements from one source file.


FLOATING POINT INSTRUCTIONS

An automatic WAIT (FWAIT) opcode is generated for each floating
point instruction except for the 'no wait' instructions (those
with 'N' for the second letter. However, the WAIT instruction
may be required before a floating point instruction having a
segment override to insure the WAIT is properly positioned.

WAIT
ES:FMUL DWORD [BX]

CAVEATS

INLINE has no way of knowing the value of any symbols used so the
user should be especially careful when using the '<' byte size
specifier. A case in point is when referring to stack variables,
as:

MOV AX, MOV AX,>ABC[BP]

The use of '<' here will result in saving one byte but will only
work correctly if ABC is in the range -128 to 127. Stack offsets
often exceed this in Turbo 4, so it is much safer to use '>'.

Note that just because a constant is byte size does not make it
safe to use '<'. If ABC were defined as =255, then CMP BX, would not assemble correctly as a constant in the range -128 to
127 would be expected. Here again, it's safer to use '>'.

Many instructions may be correctly assembled in more than one
way. This has caused some confusion in the past when INLINE
produce a byte sequence different from that expected. When in
doubt, check the byte sequence out using DEBUG or run it through
UNINLINE for verification.


RESTRICTIONS

The object file is limited to 32k. This includes comments and
spaces.

Symbols (including any addons from + and -) are limited to 32
characters.

Labels may be used in jump statements only and not as data
references. While there is a DB pseudo-opcode, it is not very
useful with this restriction.

The number of statement labels that may be defined is limited
only by the heap space available.

VERSIONS

2.00 Added 8087 instructions.
2.01 Fixed bug which wiped out INT $A vector.
2.02 Fixed bug which prevented labels from starting with BY, WO,
DW, QW, and TB.
2.1 Add NEW pseudo-instruction. Fixed bug which occurred with
filenames having no extension. Other bugs fixed, notably
those effecting IN and OUT.
2.11 Calculate restricted range for short jumps correctly.
Fix bug so CALL/JMP may be used.
2.12 Allow CALL and JMP direct instructions.
2.13 Allow JMP >0 and JMP SHORT <0 for null JMP's.
2.14 Change output format to better sync with TMAP's line
numbers.
2.15 Fix 'shl cl,1' which assembled as shl cl,cl
2.16 Change byte size check in MemReg so the likes of
MOV [DI+$FE],AX will assemble right.
Allow ',' in DB pseudo op instruction.
2.17 Convert source to Turbo 4.
2.18 Implement the sign extension bit for some instructions
2.19 Fix problem in 2.18 with sign extension bit on AX,AL
instructions.
