Constants and ASM

I like the way Swordfish locates the variables and constants used in the asm and creates VARIABLE's that correspond with them. But I'm having problems with the constants.

For instance...

Code: Select all

Const 
    Aconst As Word = 500

ASM
  movlw  High(Aconst)
End ASM

Results in ...

Code: Select all

   VARIABLE ACONST = 244
  MOVLW  HIGH(ACONST)

Only the low byte get's passed.

I need to use 32 bit constants.

If I pass the 32-bit constant to a subroutine, it correctly places it in a temporary variable that can be accessed with ASM but I don't want to have to pass 4 or 5 constants as parameters if they can just be accesed easily.

Yes, that doesn't look right. Drop me an email and I'll get a BETA to you that will fix the problem.
