 |
|
Sorry if this looks too simple.
In auto assembler scripts, what does the dollar sign in :
mean?
Also, if you don't put a dollar sign, does it take the value as decimal? numbers in the auto assembler are handled as hexadecimal unless they are preceded by #, (int), (float), (double).
( I know that the dollar sign can be used to do interpolation of Lua variables, for example : in mov eax, $x, $x will be remplaced by the value of the global Lua variable x ).
Thanks.

unlike most functions in the AA, alloc takes the size decimal instead of hexadecimal.
but some people prefer to enter the number of bytes to allocate in hexadecimal, which is done by adding a $ sign at the start (the pascal strtoint function then interprets it as hext)
so, in case of alloc(mem, $2048) , the author wanted to allocate 8264 bytes for his script
