This problem is no longer an issue. See this post
I probably should have investigated this problem some more across different compilers, but that list.html file had me going. Anyway. The old post stays to show what I thought was a problem, and its solution.
Known to affect Brass 1.0.5.3
While coding a semi-secret project, I ran into an issue with Brass involving the .relocate directive. On second (and presumably further) use of the .relocate directive, the addresses within are incorrectly modified.
The list.html file indicates that it should have been correctly assembled, but the information provided by the .echoln directives scattered throughout the code says otherwise, and the app that is generated and inspected under an emulator's debugger matches what the console window says.
The batch script I use to build this is as follows:
Code:
The code that demonstrates this problem is as follows:
