ALIASFN
Since version 2.2
Syntax:
aliasfn <const int address>, "<function name>"
The ALIASFN
directive registers a new function alias in order to make it possible to call a user function without the USR
keyword. This directive is mainly used in extensions.
The function name must be a valid identifier - i. e. it starts with an alpha char or underscore and contains alphanumeric chars and underscores only. It may be appended with a sigil - any of these characters: !#%$
indicating that the function alias refers to a function that returns a specific type. The default is #
(integer).
The same alias for different types is allowed and encouraged, for example you can define the aliases myFunc!
and myFunc#
that point to different addresses.
Example:
aliasfn $c000, "myfunc" rem -- Assuming that a machine code function resides at address $C000, rem -- the following two function calls are identical: x = usr($c000, arg1, arg2) y = myfunc(arg1, arg2)
