Declaring memory

[lexdean]

I like this product very much its so close to Delphi I have nothing to learn much. Just the pic it self

1/ When i declare memory in a function
The memory is not freed when the function is finnished with
But rather is made global

2/ Pic18fxxx, I need to store an array of data permonetly
example date of an update, or an array of integers in my case
So it needs to be placed in fram and not EEPROM
how do I distinguish the difference from Ram to fram to EEPROM in code.

my only wish is to see the better colours in the editor when the curser is near brackets and begin-end statements
and a stop on a back space at column 0

Thanks in advance,

Remember I’m fully familiar with Delphi and its stack
Thinking hard about this

Var
…………
global delectations



Procedure main;
Var
………… delectations that are allocated when the procedure is called
and freed when finnished


Procedure sub
Var
……. delectations that are allocated when the procedure is called
and freed when finished

Begin
End;

Begin
End;


Procedure Interrupt
Var
………….delectations that are allocated globally

Begin
End;



Because many chips have such little memory, effective use is everything sometimes
Because so many can count memory size quite easily.
We need to force an over ride and allocate memory to a location point.

Example the complier handle
Var
X: byte @ 0x8E; setting it into byte location $8E in Delphi


Another procedure may have
Var
Count: Word @0x8E using address 8F and 8E

With FRAM the same thing applies and Data can be saved with code
Const
Date: String[10] @ 0x12A0 = ‘22/9/2002’;
Or it could be array of semi permanent data that programmers can access because the no the location of the data.

In my case an array of long integers 100 bytes long

with this I can do so much and be very simple.
come up with a better idea if you like.

What I did not say in my last reply

Because I can allocate a declaration to location (dedicated Memory)
the compiler can treat all other memory as global and fit it around
dedicated Memory (memory that has a pacific address).

This may require an extra pass by the compiler over the code to find dedicated Memory.
an issue is telling the programmer ideal space in FRAM to use.
it cold be in the compile result
