Re: compiler expectations for bank select register?

If some user code modifies BSR, the user code is responsible for restoring it.

Re: issue with comparing structures

I would say that the compiler should not really be allowing this comparison, as there is no internal mechanism for making the comparison (at least, not as far as a remember). There is a mechanism for strings, which are very similar in terms of comparing a block of data but not for structures. My onl...

Re: Swordfish Simulator?

I think Labcenter have gone down the route that everything should be centered around their IDE, which means they have pulled support for a standalone simulator (ISIS). I think the only viable future is source level debugging, as Jerry previously mentioned. This thread may also be of use: http://sfco...

Re: Microcode loader not loading programme

$long-hex-filename$ => pass fully qualified hex filename to loader
-dPIC$target-device$ => PIC device
-iprogram => start programming, don't show loader interface
-b<baudrate> => COM buadrate
-c<COM> => COM port

Re: Way to verify consts?

The IDE is always still under development, should user demand require it. However, I think you can achieve what you want in code, which should work fine for byte and word size constants: #variable aval = 200 #variable bval = 56 #variable rval = aval + bval #if rval > $FF #warning "rval out of range"...

Re: ISR for ADC's

Top tip... You also have to be very careful using interrupts when "writing to globals", particularly if the data is greater than 8 bits (1 byte). For example, your main program may be reading the first byte of a 16 bit value then an ISR triggers. The word variable gets changed, you return to the mai...
