RSSET, RERESET, RB, RW

The RS group of commands is a handy way of defining structures:

              RSRESET
str_pStuff    RW   1
str_tData     RB   256
str_bCount    RB   1
str_SIZEOF    RB   0

The example defines four equated symbols:

Defined symbols
Name Value
str_pStuff 0
str_tData 2
str_bCount 258
str_SIZEOF 259

There are four commands in the RS group of commands:

RS related commands
Command Meaning
RSRESET Resets the _RS counter to zero
RSSET constexpr Sets the _RS counter to constexpr
RB constexpr Sets the preceding symbol to _RS and adds constexpr to _RS
RW constexpr Sets the preceding symbol to _RS and adds constexpr*2 to _RS

Note that a colon (:) following the symbol-name is not allowed. RS symbols can be exported and imported. They don't change their value during the link process.
