Mid August work (not much)

2024-08-18

• Call addequate for section or group names listed in WRT clauses, and add section or group name to the equates structures

Finished port of drbio to NASM.

• Add -f switch to change or increase default fuzzy compare equal delta limit (from default 32)
• Add messages to most of the assert directives
• Change control flow to raise exceptions instead of using assert directives
• Remove the __main__. prefix from exception displays
• Remove "Error:" prefix string from exception messages as the exception name display already ends in "Error:"
• Do not raise ListingError for check line if line matches but debugging is enabled
• If the .tls directives list several lines with the same data size (eg dw) one after another, merge all of them into one range for handling as a single lDebug data dump command
• Add an assert that the disassembly list is not empty before merging it
• Re-order disassembly list merging loop to repeat less of its logic
• Raise exception if MZ executable total size is not more than its header size (insuring a nonzero positive size of the image)

I have started looking into porting the kernel of the MS-DOS v4 fork. Its macros do not work with JWasm, so we may run into the MASM interoperability NASM default WRT bug again.
