[Oberon] ORX.WriteFile

Just for the record: If one doesn’t want to modify module ORG in this way, one may wonder whether it is possible to refactor ORX.WriteFile in such a way that it doesn’t need its own ‘code’ array, neither globally nor on the stack (which may be a problem on system with tiny memories).

There is. In my own system building tools, ORX.WriteFile now reads an opcode from the .rsc file and immediately outputs it to a .mem file:

    Files.ReadInt(R, codelen); n := 0;
    WHILE n < codelen DO Files.ReadInt(R, data); WriteHex(R1, data); INC(n) END ;    (*write code to .mem file*)
