Linking

euroasm.htm is the nominal EuroAssembler source, linker and make script.
It is not a module, actual data and code are scattered in other source modules and included here.

EuroAssembler program itself can be rebuilt with command ..\euroasm euroasm.htm executed in subdirectory easource.
Rebuild uses the stable version located in EuroAssembler home directory .. or in system %PATH%.
Those output files are created during the rebuild:

1. Tailored configuration file ..\easource\euroasm.ini used for initialization of all modules.
2. MZ executable stub ..\objlib\coffstub.exe assembled from ..\easource\coffstub.htm.
3. Object COFF modules ..\easource\*.obj assembled from their sources ..\easource\*.htm , from macrolibraries ..\maclib\*.htm and from factory-default configuration ..\objlib\euroasm.ini.
4. Target executable ..\easource\euroasm.exe linked from
   1. COFF modules ..\easource\*.obj ,
   2. stub ..\objlib\coffstub.exe
   3. icon ..\objlib\euroasm.ico.
5. Common listing ..\easource\euroasm.htm.lst

This file ..\easource\euroasm.htm in its HEAD..ENDHEAD block is also hosting common interface headers from all other source modules which are included to each module (except for its own).

↑ Initialization

Common default options required for the assembly of all EuroAssembler modules will be saved to a dynamically created local configuration file easource/euroasm.ini , so they need not to be explicitly specified in each module source file.

↑ Assembly the stub file

Dos executable stub file in MZ format will be assembled separately, if it needs recompilation.

Target file ../objlist/coffstub.exe depends on its source ../easource/coffstub.htm.

    %IF FILETIME# "..\objlib\coffstub.exe" <= FILETIME# "coffstub.htm"      ; >
       INCLUDE "coffstub.htm"  ; Include and compile the stub for euroasm.exe.
    %ENDIF

↑ Headers

Block euroasm: HEAD .. ENDHEAD euroasm: in this file contains the common module header, which is included into every EuroAssembler source module. It refers interface of all other modules, thus each module knows about macros, structures and global symbols defined in other modules.

euroasm: HEAD ; Begin common interface block which is included to all modules.

↑ Global %variables

Parameters specified here are valid for all EuroAssembler sources.

%EuroasmOS specifies the operating system which EuroAssembler is compiled for. This version od €ASM supports only Win (32bit MS Windows) at this moment.

%EuroasmOS    %SET Win ; Identifier of EuroAssembler OS (1..4 characters).

    %eaos     %SET     ; Lowercase version of %EuroasmOS will be used in filenames to include.
    %eaossize %SETS %EuroasmOS        ; Get number of characters in this %variable.
  i %FOR 1..%eaossize
      %lc %SETC '%EuroasmOS[%i]' | 0x20 ; Convert i-th character to lowercase, set it to %lc
      %eaos %SET %eaos%lc             ;  and append it to %eaos.
    %ENDFOR i                         ; %eaos is now 'win'.

↑ %ModuleList

Array %ModuleList enumerates €ASM source modules which will be assembled and linked to target PE program euroasm.exe.

↑ %MaclibList

%MaclibList is an enumeration of macrolibrary names which are included to all module sources. Library files have file extension .htm, they are searched for in subdirectory ..\maclib\ and they contain definitions of those generally usable macros, which are hired by EuroAssembler.

%MaclibList %SET \
wins,     \
winscon,  \
winsfile, \
winapi,   \
memory,   \
stdcal32, \
cpuext,   \
cpuext32, \
status32, \
string32, \
sort32,   \
;;

%@RTprocedureList

is the list of runtime procedures declared as PROC1 in semiinlined macros.
Scope of those procedures will be declared as EXTERN in all modules except for module ea.htm where are the macros expanded.
This prevents the runtime code from being repeatedly emitted in each separately assembled module, which would unnecessarily blow up the final PE size.

↑ Inclusion

Here are macrolibraries and interface headers from €ASM sources included to all source modules.

          MAXINCLUSIONS=5000, LIST=ON, LISTINCLUDE=OFF, LISTREPEAT=OFF, \

    cpuext.htm, cpuext32.htm, status32.htm, string32.htm, sort32.htm

   %IF "%^PROGRAM" == "ea" ; Perform the actual scope declarations of runtime procedures.
     PUBLIC %@RTprocedureList
   %ELSE
     %IF "%^PROGRAM" !== "euroasm"
       EXTERN %@RTprocedureList
     %ENDIF
   %ENDIF

  ENDHEAD euroasm: ; End of common interface, which is included to all €ASM sources.

↑ Assembly

All modules enumerated in the array %ModuleList will be assembled to object files in COFF format.
In order to spare build time, object modules are assembled only if they are missing or if they are older than their source.

  module %FOR %ModuleList
           %IF FILETIME# "%module.obj" <= FILETIME# "%module.htm" ;> Reassembly only if the object file isn't fresh.
             %ModulesToAssemble %SET %ModulesToAssemble,"%module.htm"
           %ENDIF
         %ENDFOR module
         EUROASM LISTINCLUDE=ON ; Incorporate listing of each module to euroasm.htm.lst.
         INCLUDE %ModulesToAssemble ; Perform the actual assembly of each included PROGRAM..ENDPROGRAM block.

↑ Linking

All modules are assembled to their object files now. Here goes the declaration of final target executable program and LINK statement enumerating its modules.

         ; Define executable properties.
