OSBuild: a linker styled programming language created by HaxeFloppa.

I/O stream

To print a string, use the following lines to do so:

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    DISPLAY HELLO, WORLD!
}

You can type whatever you want within the "HELLO, WORLD!" part. And no, the string to print doesn't need to be all caps. I'm just trying to look cool.

Strings

To define a string, write first the type, in this case "STR_DEF", then the value.

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    STR_DEF Hello, world!
}

To call a string, you'll need to call it by address as all variables are saved to dicts and each dict are classified by type. To do so, the following snippet will present how:

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    STR_DEF Hello, world!
    STRING_CALL 0
}

Integers

To define an integer, it works the same way as defining a string does:

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    INT_DEF 69
}

To call said integer, again, it works exactly the same as calling strings:

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    INT_DEF 69
    INT_CALL 0
}

Exceptions

If you wish to throw an error to the terminal for something that you consider wrong, yet the compiler doesn't, you can use the throw command and type a string to show as the cause of said error, for example:

BOOTLOADER_PRINT
{
    THROW haxefloppa knew you'd rush B
}
