Hexadecimal Output

[dkinzer]

These routines may be useful for displaying data during debugging.

{Edit}
Since the v1.0 release of the compiler includes the function CStrHex(), the need for these routines has diminished. I'll leave them in place for instructional purposes.

I have some comments on this code which may improve it:

1. For modules I always use Private and Public for functions, subroutines and other module global data so that the Public interface is very clear to anyone who wants to use the module. A header comment explaining the public interface is always advisable too. I usually push private stuff to the bottom of the file so that it is not the first thing you see.

2. The two routines dbgDspWordHex and dbgDspDWordHex uses extra stack space and I would make them call dbgDspNibbleHex directly. Even though there is more stack space with ZBasic over its predecessor, we should still strive to save stack space where we can.

3. What about providing additional subroutines for dumping out integers, longs, singles and perhaps even strings.
