* See $LK,"Scoping and Linkages","FI:::/TempleOS/Doc/ImportExports.TXT"$ for details on $FG,2$extern$FG$, $FG,2$import$FG$, $FG,2$_extern$FG$, $FG,2$_import$FG$, etc.
* See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Doc/Directives.TXT"$.
* Built-in types include $FG,2$I0,I8,I16,I32,I64$FG$ for signed 0-8 byte ints and $FG,2$U0,U8,U16,U32,I64$FG$ for unsigned 0-8 byte ints and $FG,2$F64$FG$ for 8 byte floats.

* Function with no, or just default args can be called without parentheses.
* Default args don't have to be on the end. This code is valid:

* A string or char constant all alone is sent to $LK,"PutS","MN:PutS"$() or $LK,"PutChar","MN:PutChar"$(). A string with args is sent to $LK,"PrintF","MN:PrintF"$(). An empty string literal signals a variable fmt_str follows.

* When dealing with function addresses, precede the name with "$FG,2$&$FG$".
* There is no $FG,2$main()$FG$ function. Any code outside of functions gets executed on start-up, in order.
* You can access bytes or words within any int. $FG,2$i.u8[2]$FG$ returns bits 24-27 in the variable, $FG,2$i$FG$. See $LK,"I64 declaration","MN:I64"$. The real feature is that a class can be accessed as a whole, if you put a type in front of the $FG,2$class$FG$ declaration.
* Variable arg count functions ($FG,2$...$FG$) can access their args with built-in variables similar to '$FG,2$this$FG$' in C++. They are '$FG,2$I64 argc$FG$' and '$FG,2$I64 argv[]$FG$'.

* $FG,2$switch$FG$ statements always use a jump table. Don't use them with cases with really big, sparse ranges.
* Allows ranges like "$FG,2$case 4...7:$FG$" in $FG,2$switch$FG$ statements.
* $FG,2$nobound_switch$FG$ can be used if you know a switch statement will not exceed the lowest or highest case values. It's a little faster because it doesn't check.
* $FG,2$noreg$FG$ or $FG,2$reg$FG$ can be placed before a function local var name. You can, optionally, specify a register after the $FG,2$reg$FG$ keyword.
* $FG,2$interrupt$FG$, $FG,2$public$FG$, $FG,2$argpop$FG$ or $FG,2$noargpop$FG$ are function flags.
* A $FG,2$nounusedwarn$FG$ statement will suppress an unused var warning.
* You can have multiple member vars of a class named "$FG,2$pad$FG$" or "$FG,2$reserved$FG$", and it won't issue warnings.
* Type casting is postfix. To typecast int or F64, use $LK,"ToI64","MN:ToI64"$(), $LK,"ToBool","MN:ToBool"$() or $LK,"ToF64","MN:ToF64"$(). (TempleOS follows normal C float<-->int conversion, but sometimes you want to override. These functions are better than multiplying by "1.0" to convert to float.)
* The "$FG,2$`$FG$" operator raises a base to a power.
* A single quote can encompass multiple characters. $FG,2$'ABC'$FG$ is equal to $FG,2$0x434241$FG$.

* You can use $LK,"OptOn","MN:OptOn"$($LK,"OPTf_WARN_PAREN","MN:OPTf_WARN_PAREN"$) to find unnecessary parentheses in code.
* You can use $LK,"OptOn","MN:OptOn"$($LK,"OPTf_WARN_DUP_TYPES","MN:OPTf_WARN_DUP_TYPES"$) to find dup local var type statements.
* With the $FG,2$#exe{}$FG$ feature in your src code, you can place programs that insert text into the stream of code being compiled. See $LK,"#exe {}","FF:::/TempleOS/Kernel/KEnd.CPP,#exe {"$ for an example where the date/time and compile-time prompting for cfguration data is placed into a program. The $LK,"StreamPrintF","MN:StreamPrintF"$() and $LK,"StreamPutS","MN:StreamPutS"$() place text into a src program stream following the conclusion of the $FG,2$#exe{}$FG$ blk.
* No $FG,2$#define$FG$ functions exist (I'm not a fan)
* No $FG,2$typedef$FG$, use $FG,2$class$FG$.
* No type-checking
* Can't use $FG,2$<>$FG$ with $FG,2$#include$FG$, use $FG,2$""$FG$.
* "$FG,2$$$$FG$" is an escape character. Two dollar signs signify an ordinary $$. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Doc/Dollar.TXT"$. In $FG,2$asm$FG$ or $FG,2$C+$FG$ code, it also refers to the instruction's addr.
* $FG,2$union$FG$ is more like a class, so you don't reference it with a $FG,2$union$FG$ label after you define it. Some common unions are declared in $LK,"Adam1a.HPP","MN:U16"$ for 1,2,4 and 8 byte objects. If you place a type in front of a union declaration, that is the type when used by itself. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/SubIntAccess.CPP"$.
* $FG,2$class$FG$ member vars can have meta data. $FG,2$fmtstr$FG$ and $FG,2$fmtdata$FG$ are two meta data types now used. All compiler structures are saved and you can access the compiler's info about classes and vars. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/ClassMeta.CPP"$ and $LK,"DocFormDo","MN:DocFormDo"$().
* See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/Exceptions.CPP"$. $FG,2$try{} catch{}$FG$ and $FG,2$throw$FG$ are different from C++. $FG,2$throw$FG$ is a function with var ("$FG,2$...$FG$") args. The values passed in $FG,2$throw()$FG$ can be accessed from within a $FG,2$catch{}$FG$ using the $FG,2$Fs->except_argc$FG$ and $FG,2$Fs->except_argv[]$FG$ vars. Within a $FG,2$catch {}$FG$ blk, set the var $FG,2$Fs->catch_except$FG$ to $FG,2$TRUE$FG$ if you want to terminate the search for a handler. By convention, the first arg of $FG,2$except_argv[]$FG$ specifies the exception type num. A list of assigned exception types can be found at $LK,"EXCEPT_LOCAL","MN:EXCEPT_LOCAL"$. For a handler that will catch all excepts, you can use $LK,"CatchAll","MN:CatchAll"$().
* A function is available similar to $FG,2$sizeof$FG$ which provides the offset of a member of a class. It's called $FG,2$offset$FG$. You place the class name and member inside as in $FG,2$offset(classname.membername)$FG$. It has nothing to do with 16-bit code. Both $FG,2$sizeof$FG$ and $FG,2$offset$FG$ only accept one level of member vars. That is, you can't do $FG,2$sizeof(classname.membername.submembername)$FG$.$FG$
* There is no $FG,2$continue$FG$ statement. Use $FG,2$goto$FG$.
* No bit field support, but there are bit access $LK,"library routines","HI:Bit"$.
* $FG,2$lock{}$FG$ can be used to apply asm $FG,2$LOCK$FG$ prefixes to code for safe multicore read-modify-write accesses. The code bracked with have $FG,2$LOCK$FG$ asm prefix's applied to relevant instructions within. It's a little shoddy. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/MultiCore/Lock.CPP"$.
* There is a function called $LK,"MSize","MN:MSize"$() which gives the size of an object allocated off the heap. For larger size allocations, the system rounds-up to a power of two, so $FG,2$MSize()$FG$ lets you know the real size and you can take full advantage of it.
* You can $LK,"Free","MN:Free"$() a $FG,2$NULL$FG$ ptr. Useful variants of $LK,"MAlloc","MN:MAlloc"$() can be found $LK,"Here","MN:CAlloc"$. Each task has a heap and you can $FG,2$MAlloc$FG$ and $FG,2$Free$FG$ off of other task's heaps, or make an independent heap with $LK,"HeapCtrlIndependentInit","MN:HeapCtrlIndependentInit"$().
* The stk does not grow because virtual mem is not used. I recommend allocating large local vars from the heap. You can change $LK,"DFT_STK","MN:DFT_STK"$ and recompile $FG,2$Kernel$FG$ or request more when doing a $LK,"Spawn","MN:Spawn"$(). You can use $LK,"CallStkGrow","MN:CallStkGrow"$(), but it's odd. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/StkGrow.CPP"$.
* Only one base class is allowed.
* All values are extended to 64-bit when accessed. Intermediate calculations are done with 64-bit values.
$ID,2$The follow examples should be inserted in a function, so that register variables are used. (Global vars are never register.)

$LK,"MSPrintF","MN:MSPrintF"$() is like $LK,"SPrintF","MN:SPrintF"$() but it returns a $LK+S,"MAlloc","MN:MAlloc"$ated str. It is vary handy because you don't have to worry about overflow.
$LK,"PutS","MN:PutS"$() doesn't print a new line.

$LK,"DocPutS","MN:DocPutS"$(CDoc *doc,U8 *src) and $LK,"DocPrintF","MN:DocPrintF"$(CDoc *doc,U8 *fmtstr,...) send text to a linked text file. You can buffer to a Doc and save it, providing the functionality of $FG,2$fprintf$FG$. See $LK-A,"::/TempleOS/Demo/Dsk/FPrintF.CPP"$.
$LK,"Adam","MN:Adam"$(U8 *fmtstr,...) send text to the adam task to be compiled and run.

$LK,"StreamPrintF","MN:StreamPrintF"$(U8 *fmtstr,...) and $LK,"StreamPutS","MN:StreamPutS"$(U8 *src) send text to the stream of code being compiled and must reside in a $FG,2$#exe{}$FG$ blk.
$LK,"GrPrintF","MN:GrPrintF"$(CDC *dc,I64 x,I64 y,U8 *fmtstr,...) and $LK,"GrPutS","MN:GrPutS"$(CDC *dc,I64 x,I64 y,U8 *src) plots text in graphics mode. $LK,"GrVPrintF","MN:GrVPrintF"$() and $LK,"GrVPutS","MN:GrVPutS"$() will print vertically.
$LK,"ExePrintF","MN:ExePrintF"$(U8 *fmtstr,...) and $LK,"ExePutS","MN:ExePutS"$(U8 *src) compile and execute a string. Note: It returns the result of the last executed expression.
