Swordfish

The saga continues.... My bug is back. Except this time it's not a MOVLW 4294967295. The compiler keeps insisting that I'm missing and EndIf, but I'm not. I tried to compile it on a different machine and it worked just fine. Something on my system is interfering the SF compiler, even after a clean i...

I did notice that there was one instance of SwordfishICC.exe (2136 KB) located in C:/ but a different one in C:\Program Files\Mecanique\Swordfish\Bin which is 2013 KB. However, it didn't matter if a switched them or even copied them from another machine. It was almost as if something external to Swo...

I copied all of the library files from one computer to the other to be sure (overwriting the ones put there by the installer). So although I didn't do a byte by byte check, I am certain the files are the same.

All the Library, UserLibrary and Include directories are identical. Both compilers were up to date. It not like my dev machine was buggy or full of viruses. It's a very stable computer. As a matter of fact, I rarely ever had a need to restarted. It's 64 bit CPU, but I have 32 bit Windows XP on it. I...

I decided to try a different computer. No problems while compiling on my little netbook. The compile size was 51279 on my development machine, yet it was 51397 on the netbook. I wonder what the 100 byte difference is?

Off to re-install an operating system...

I feel your pain. It's a shame that these bugs only pop up after the project gets very large.

I played around with it a little more and found that it appears to be related to conditional statements. A MOVLW 4294967295 with always occurs right after a If X <> 0 Then or While X <> 0 sound like the same kind of bug as this one i reporter earlier If you really think you have the same issue, comp...

Finally, some evidence! :shock: I was cleaning up some code today (mostly cosmetic changes) and suddenly my code started behaving badly again. However this time, I dug a little deeper into the asm and I cannot figure out what is going on. First the background: I'm using the ethernet stack on a 18F4...

I'm starting to better understand the concept of indirect addressing but I wonder if it's possible to have a conflict. The device I use has 3 resisters FSR0, FSR1, FSR2. I've looked through all the library files and noticed that sometimes FSR0 is used, but other times FSR1 is instead. Is there any r...

have had to resort to rewriting it as a series of if... elseif's

Exactly! I've been doing the same thing. However I've never been able to figure out if the Select Case issue is the symptom or the cause.

Ok, at least I know I'm not going crazy now. I have noticed the strange behavior when declaring bits . I avoid them at all cost now. I should look through the TCP/IP stack and make sure there are none in it as well. I've been hesitant to change anything in that library since it was ported by David h...

* I've changed the title of this thread since this has turned out to be an actual compiler problem I've been hesitant to post this because up until now, I've just assumed I was doing something wrong in my code. But let me ask the question anyway. Does anyone else get quirky results when compiling la...

I understand now.... memset is for setting the RAM directly from a pointer.

My hard drive gets backed up every night. But I don't think it's a hardware problem, the rest of my applications run just fine. I'll try running it in VM (assuming I can get it to recognize the dongle) and see if there are problems there.

From the example in the help files:
will produce O, n, e, 0, T, w, o, 0 in the EEPROM like it's supposed to.

however,
will give a, b, c, 0 instead of a, 0, b, 0, c, 0

Is that the way it's supposed to be?
