Weird label handling

[hippy]

Following up on my label truncation testing ...

Programming Editor 4.1.4, PICAXE-18X, 8MHz, 16 GOSUB's

- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012x = 1
- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012y = 2
- b0 = a2345678901234567890123456789012x
- END

Compiles okay, "16 bytes out of 2048"

- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012x = 1
- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012y = 2
- b0 = a2345678901234567890123456789012y
- END

"Unknown symbol a2345678901234567890123456789012y" given for the second line ( the SYMBOL definition )

- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012x = 1
- SYMBOL a2345678901234567890123456789012y = 2
- b0 = a2345678901234567890123456789012x
- b0 = a2345678901234567890123456789012y
- END

Gives "Unknown symbol a2345678901234567890123456789012y" given for the first assignment line ( b0 = .....x )

- SYMBOL a23456789012345678901234567890123x = 1
- SYMBOL a23456789012345678901234567890123y = 2
- END

Compiles okay, alleges, "0 bytes of 2048" used.

- SYMBOL a234567890123456789012345678901234x = 1
-SYMBOL a234567890123456789012345678901234y = 2
- END

"Illegal character ('^@'(0x00))"

 

[Technical]

Labels are limited to 31 chrs, anything above thsi just confuses the compiler to give unexpected results. We will look at adding an error message.
