z80asm using $ from incorrect section when computing using defc constant about z88dk HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @aralbrec , nice to hear from you, and thanks for reporting.

The code snippet you sent does not show the error. I've committed it to branch issue_2469, and all _Boulder2paletePageN have the same value.

Cany you provide a code that actually fails?
I closed an issue in the same area, #2418, maybe they are related?

Hi @pauloscustodio,

I'll try to attach a zip here. The sections need to have different amounts of data in them for the $ to return different section offsets.

The file SpriteData_Boulder2.asm contains the error. When the declaration of SprData_StartPage is moved from position AAAA to BBBB, the result is correct.

As is, the incorrect build produces this in the map file:

_Boulder2PalettePage            = $0034 ; addr, public, , SpriteData_Boulder2_asm, PAGE_93_EnemyCode3, SpriteData_Boulder2.asm:12
_Boulder2PalettePage2           = $0037 ; addr, public, , SpriteData_Boulder2_asm, PAGE_50_spriteData_Enemies3, SpriteData_Boulder2.asm:13
_Boulder2PalettePage3           = $0037 ; addr, public, , SpriteData_Boulder2_asm, PAGE_50_spriteData_Enemies3, SpriteData_Boulder2.asm:14

when all three constants should be $37.

Build with:

zcc +zxn --no-crt -m -v SpriteData_Boulder.asm SpriteData_Boulder2.asm -o sb.bin

Yes 2418 looks to be the same issue. I am producing this error from a nightly build a day or two ago.
