cc65: How to fill up a segment to a particular size?

[pixel]

This one is trying to move `continue_to_start` to $2400 – but '.res' wants a constant expression. This is *so* retro.

Code: Select all

end_of_secondary:
                                                                                                                                                              
    .res $2400 - end_of_secondary

continue_to_start:

An idea how this can be done anyone? Thanks a million in advance.

Normally, this kind of issue is handled via the project's *.cfg, where you define the larger memory areas.

With C, it shouldn't normally be necessary to align parts of a program to a page boundary. Thus I suspect you really want to solve another problem ...

Yep. Need some wrappers to be in BLK1, so it can bank in the rest of the UltiFS. Got this fixed by reordering the segment list. Anyway: there doesn't seem to be a way to enforce the size of a segment which is a bit sad at times.
