init &char &dev: Macro Expansion of of PUTC (First Version)

The macro facility expands any uses of the PUTC macro in the code to its defined subroutine. For a code fragment using PUTC, the expansion would replace the PUTC instruction with code to load the character from the specified location into a register, compare it to the given value, and write the value if they are not equal, repeating in a loop until finished.

Macro Expansion of of PUTC (first version)

Suppose that you have a code fragment utilizing PUTC as follows:

. . . &CHAR &DEV
&INIT
JEQ NEXT
DUMPX PUTC (LINE,X), =X'04'
NEXT STA LAST

. . .

Then the macro facility will apply the PUTC definition to produce
the expanded code:
. . .

JEQ NEXT
.DUMPX PUTC (LINE,X), =X'04'
DUMPX STA PUTCSAVE
LDCH LINE,X
J PUTCLOOP
PUTCSAVE RESW 1
PUTCLOOP TD =X'04'
JEQ PUTCLOOP
WD =X'04'
LDA PUTCSAVE
NEXT STA LAST

. . .

Note that the parentheses around LINE,X are stripped


(parentheses are used to group comma separated items).
