- Added pragma for custom contex saving in interrupts (disablecontexsaving)
- Added project level define support (.pld files)
- Added built-in project level defines for MCU and clock
- Added low interrupt support for P18 familly
- Added disassembly debugging support (Simulator and ICD Debugger)
- Added posibilty to org library functions
- Added posibilty to absolute constant agregates (arrays, structs, unions...)
- Fixed USB HID LIbrary bug
- Fixed optimizing if bug
- Fixed Bug related to changing from BANK 1 to BANK 3 (PIC16 familly)
- Fixed Bug routines for floating point comparing (<, >, >=, <=, ==, !=) used in complex expressions
- Fixed Bug related to contex saving and optimization

WORK IN PROGRESS:
- revision of MMC, CFFAT library (adding Format function and ...)
- Ethernet library support for MCUs with built-in ethernet modul
- revision of help
- revision of mlk files
- full library support for new MCUs

- Added project level define support (.pld files)

sounds promising ! can you tell us more about it ?

- Added built-in project level defines for MCU and clock

great ! is there a list somewhere ?

- Added disassembly debugging support (Simulator and ICD Debugger)

didn't find it ?

I'm still a little bit jealous of mP & mC :
flags schemes
interrupt button in watch window (I follow my turn Janni's suggestion about low priority int trigger)

Do you think it will be possible to fill the gap ?

Thank you !

Bruno

- Added project level define support (.pld files)

sounds promising ! can you tell us more about it ?

pld is new type of file (*.pld) that can be added to project it contains
project level defines it should have form
in any single line it can contain

A = B

and any occurence of A will be replaced with B in all source files
rules are simmilar like for #define but it affects whole project

- Added built-in project level defines for MCU and clock

great ! is there a list somewhere ?

MCU name is defined as 1 and can be used for conditional compilation #ifdef P18F4520 when selected MCU is p18F4520 will be true
FOSC is defined in kHz

- Added disassembly debugging support (Simulator and ICD Debugger)

didn't find it ?

use CTRL+ALT+D when debugger is started to switch between views


to declare procedure as low priority interrupt procedure must been called

interrupt_low

heh everything is possible we will see

Hi Ivan, thank you for the answers !

Don't hesitate to tell me if I'm insisting too heavily
but still following the idea to get a way to know as much as possible from the project definition :

is it possible to have a constant-named .PLD file generated at build time, with the flags definition ?
for example, if my project is named 'test', the compiler would build a
test_flags.PLD
file with checked flags :

Code: Select all

_CONFIG1L = 0x300000
_CONFIG1H = 0x300001
...
_OSC_HSPLL_1H = 0x00F5
_WDT_OFF_2H = 0x00FE
...

and so on, so that we can do in program :

Code: Select all

#if _WDT_OFF_2H
... // do your stuff here
#endif

heh everything is possible we will see

I like to hear that !

we have added this features to mikroC also. We will probably upload new beta soon.

- Added posibilty to absolute constant agregates (arrays, structs, unions...)

Ivan, can you show us an example please ? I can't manage to get it work, neither with absolute nor with org

Thanks !

Edit :

Found by myself

Code: Select all

const   char    *myvar = { ... } org  0x410  ; // bad try
const   char    *myvar org  0x410 = { ... } ; // is good

correct ?
