However, I did manage to get the table-driven disassembler finished; the same blob of macro magic now powers both the assembler and disassembler. In there somewhere I got sick of reading flat EASM files, so I wrote a quick pretty-printer that automatically indents the files. Unfortunately, the presence of whitespace totally confuses the assembler/disassembler code, so I'll have to shore that up a bit.
My next thing to tackle is factoring out common sequences in the assembly table. For example, there's a delicate way that begin-scope instructions have to be handled; at the moment, every time I read into a new lexical scope, I have to do some juggling to make sure things get written out correctly. Let's just say that the order of instructions surrounding a lexical scope entry is... quirky. So one thing I can do is factor that bit of juggling out into a meta-instruction in the assembly table.
I can practically smell all the dark voodoo that's oozing out of this assembler, but it's been a fun little diversion from the main language efforts [grin]
