Syntax somewhat differs from SpectNet IDE

I moved my code from SpectNet IDE, but ASM syntax is little bit different in Klive. For example:
abc equ 300 * (16 + 1)
reports "An Expression expected", because of parenthesis.
Also there were some other nuances that I could change in the code, like add 5 ---> add a, 5
Is there documentation for this new syntax?

@hadmir, thanks for reporting this issue. When moving to Klive, I had to totally rewrite the compiler. Though I have a lot of automatic tests, there still may be issues there. The abc equ 300 * (16 + 1) issue must be a bug in the compiler, soon, I will look after it. Also, I check the add 5 ---> add a, 5 issue, and similar ones.

@hadmir, you can download the private build that contains the bug fixes from here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqpbKz19ddp5ordqGnNWFRV2Y-QAVw?e=uWe24m

Please, keep reporting any issues you find with Klive!

One more thing: Used to be: loop MAX_CHARS now parenthesis needed: loop (MAX_CHARS). But this one is easy to fix.

Thanks, great new year for you too!

Tested, all 3 issues fixed:

  • add 5 alongside add a, 5
  • equ 300 * (16 + 1))
  • loop MAX_CHARS instead of loop (MAX_CHARS)

Here is another difference from SpectNet IDE syntax:

loop 8
        outerCount = $cnt
        loop outerCount
...

reports Identifier 'outerCount' is not defined yet. I already uninstalled SpectNet IDE and moved to klive completely, but I am like 99% sure this specific thing compiled on SpectNet IDE.
