compiler / linker failure in asm block

[keesp]

Hi,

I am getting the error reported below when trying to compile the following asm-block in flowcode:

char temp;

asm
{
BSF _status, RP0;
MOVLW 0x0;
MOVWF _trisa;
BCF _status, RP0;
MOVLW 0x03;

//MOVWF 0x20;
MOVLW 0x20 ;
MOVWF _temp ;
SWAPF _temp,1 ;
MOVF _temp,0 ;

MOVLW 0x01;
SUBWF 0x20,1 ;
MOVF 0x20,0;
MOVWF _trisa;
}

The Dutch messages do not give any interesting information related to the error, so I will not translate them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Kees

Hello,

I have added another C variable to take the place of memory location 0x20 and the code is compiling ok now.

Code: Select all

char temp;
char temp2;

asm
{
BSF _status, RP0;
MOVLW 0x0;
MOVWF _trisa;
BCF _status, RP0;
MOVLW 0x03;

//MOVWF 0x20;
MOVLW 0x20 ;
MOVWF _temp ;
SWAPF _temp,1 ;
MOVF _temp,0 ;

MOVLW 0x01;
SUBWF _temp2,1 ;
MOVF _temp2,0;
MOVWF _trisa;
}

Hi Ben,

thanks again for your quick reply. I suspected it was the same kind of problem as we discussed earlier (http://wwww.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforu ... =29&t=8007)
I have, however, some problems with this, as I am using Flowcode for education, and my students are getting frustrated with this bug. Do you think there is any action at sourceboost (?) to fix this?

Kind regards,

Kees

This is not a bug - it's just the way the inline assembly feature of BoostC works.

If you specifically want to interact with the address 0x20, then you can do something similar to this:

Code: Select all

char var@0x20;

asm
{
  BSF _status, RP0 ;
  MOVLW 0x0 ;
  MOVWF _trisa ;
  BCF _status, RP0 ;
  MOVLW 0x30 ;
  MOVWF _var ;

  SWAPF _var,1 ;
  MOVF _var,0 ;
  MOVWF _porta ;
}
