|  Introduction | | AustroSpeed is a 2-pass (3-pass in overlay mode) BASIC compiler. It compiles BASIC programs to equivalent but more compact P-Code. The resulting programs are 3-5 times faster than the original. |

| | Origins | AustroSpeed has been confirmed to be a commercial release. The original apparently required a hardware key (dongle) to operate. The version we have is a crack by The (new) Raven. Compiled files containing PEEK/POKE statements need a crack file residing in memory. You can avoid this by using AustroConv utility written by SVS that fixes the compiled file.
The developer (programmer(s) and/or company) is unknown at this time.
AustroSpeed was also released for the C=64 and VIC-20. |

| | Description | Technical notes:
Compiled files will always add about 8Kb of machine language code. The compiled filename will be "c/(original_file_name)".
The compilation process also produces "p/*" and "z/*" files. While you can safely delete from the disk the "p/*" file, "z/*" on the contrary is useful for debugging. In fact it is a table file (using Basic format, then browsable by LIST command) that allows the programmer to know the correspondence between source line-numbers and compiled error message referrals. For example if during compiling Austrospeed outputs "Syntax error at 22348", you have to search inside "z/*" file for line 22348 in order to know the true line-number of your Sourcefile affected by the error. Then type "list 22300-" [return] and you see something like:
22300 8348
22310 8350
22330 8351
22348 8362 --> the wanted source line is 8362
*** Warning: the correspondence is not accurate. In the example you could find 22349 or 22352 instead of 22348 as prompted by compiler message; use the number equal or just greater than the searched one.
A note about emulators:
in order to compile programs with AustroSpeed, be sure that full drive emulation is used (IEC drive emulation can be used only for source files). |

| | Compiler Memory Map And Data Structure | The compiler itself and all compiled files have a fixed structure. The Runtime Interpreter begins at $1525 and ends at $2ef2. Next come six vectors (LB HB) that point to start of variables, start of arrays, end of arrays, start and end of data stmts.
Following the vectors is a system DIMZ*%() that defines a system array, Z*%(), which is used to locate individual arrays in RAM.
After the DIMZ*%() comes data statements.
The program pcode begins next,always with $15 and ends with $4f. After the $4f starts variables.
Then comes arrays. The first array in the array space is the system array Z*%().
The elements of this array give the offset from start of arrays to the first byte of each array in the prg. |

---- NUMERIC CONSTANTS
[#EN#]: Literal numbers are encoded to one or more bytes:
$B0-$BF: 0-15
$F0-$FF: 16-31
$A6 [byte]: 32-255
$A7 [byte1] [byte2]: byte1*256+byte2 = -$8000…+$7FFF
$A8 [byte1] [byte2] [byte3] [byte4] [byte5]: = Commodore 5 byte floating point number format
---- STRINGS
Literal strings are encoded depending on their length:
$E7 [len] [len*chars]: String of 8 or more chars
$E8: Literal empty string ("")
$E9 [char]: String of 1 char
$EA [2*char]: String of 2 chars
$EB [3*char]: String of 3 chars Example: A$="ABC" would be stored as: $EB $41 $42 $43 $C0 = Literal string of 3 chars, followed by the chars, followed by "assign to variable position 0"
$EC [4*char]: String of 4 chars
$ED [5*char]: String of 5 chars
$EE [6*char]: String of 6 chars
$EF [7*char]: String of 7 chars
For $E8 - $EF the number of characters is embedded in the lower four bits.
Just AND the lower four bits with binary 7.

$E4 Assign a value to array element = value from stack (see example below) $1BBA

FOR loops:
[assignment, to initialize loop variable] [arg, end of loop value] [get value of loop variable] $11 [loop] [get value of loop variable] $14
[assignment, to initialize loop variable] [arg, end of loop value] [arg, step] [get value of loop variable] $12 [loop] [get value of loop variable] $14
The compiler seems to always use [arg] $A0 [var] way of getting the loop variable's value. However, for the first 32 variables, this could be [arg] [$80-$9F] (see above), which can save 2 bytes from each loop.
DIM structure:
Data structure for P-code of DIM A(10): BA 10 01 41 00 00 07.
BA = encoded literal number 10; 10 = DIM; 01 = # dimensions of the array; 41 00 = two byte variable ID. Here 41 00 = "A"; 00 07 = HB LB offset from start of arrays to look up the offset from start of arrays to actual location of "A" - a double offset string.
Further examples: 25 DIM B(30) FE 10 01 42 00 00 09
10 DIM D(12,5) BC B5 10 02 44 00 00 07
Array Examples: B0 Bx E4 07: Push value Bx onto stack. Assign value Bx from stack to first element of first array in the queue.
B0 Bx E4 09: Push value Bx onto stack. Assign value Bx from stack to first element of second array in the queue.
B1 A4 07 3E: Push second element of first array onto stack and print from stack.
B2 A4 0B 3E: push third element of third array onto stack and print from stack.
