how do i restructure this code so i dont get a branch out of range error

Question

Im creating an elevator system using a dragon12-plus2 board. So far everything works except for a specific branch out of range error. any help? thanks in advance

Input of the system - push button Output of the system - lcd and 7-segments

errors occur at lines 86, 88, 90, 143, 145, 147, 200, 202, 204

i tried restructuring the code multiple ways, still the same branch error

Answer 1

You need to add structure to your assembler. Think in larger code blocks, isolate functions and procedures, clearly label entry points.

EntryXYZ: // a little bit of code
          // more code

EntryYZW: // a lot of code

EntryZZZ: // a little bit of code

Between every small function you can add trampolines:

JumpPoint1:  jmp Label
SmallCode:  test ax,ax
            bne JumpPoint1
            // more code
            jle skip0
            jmp Label
skip:       // more code

In long code one needs to use the jNOTcond skip; jmp Label; skip: paradigm. In short code one can use the jCOND trampoline paradigm.

Also one can place these jump points in the middle of long code as in:

  bne skip:
  jmp longJump
tramp1:
  jmp longJumpA
tramp2:
  jmp longJumpB
skip:

One more technique is to locate an earlier branch to the same target, as in

tramp_label_bne_002:
  bne tramp_label_bne_001:
Code:
  // max 126 bytes of code
  bne tramp_label_bne002
