#182651 - Conceptual & Typographical errors
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Per Westermark said:
I'm way less likely to miss out when the assembler instruction uses [<addr>] than if it uses #<addr>. I must make two typing errors on the same line for the assembler to not detect a problem.


That assumes that it's just a typing mistake; if it's the more fundamental error of using an address where a literal is required (or vice versa), then the actual syntax doesn't help.

As you said earlier, 'C' has types to help here - Assemblers don't.
