Alais naming method.
PostPosted: Fri Feb 14, 2003 9:28 am     Reply with quote

How do I locate a byte indirectly? I know their has to be some simple way to make this work.

int8 PacketBuffer[24],slave;
#locate slave = *PacketBuffer[0]

This does not work.
I want to make an alais name for the first array location of of an array.

Do you want to locate a byte directly or do you want to create an alias Smile ? Making alias in C means a #define directive:
#define slave PacketBuffer[0]

Example:
PacketBuffer 000000C9 // from list file

0000 00542 .................... slave = 0x10;
0078 3010 00543 MOVLW 10
0079 1683 00544 BSF 03.5
007A 00C9 00545 MOVWF 49 // 0x80+0x49=0xC9 !

Don't bother to try to force a declaration like this (they only accept constants, and your syntax would be wrong anyway - you require the address, not the contents of a pointer). Instead just use the macro language. So:

#define slave (PacketBuffer[0])

Will give a 'psuedonym' for the first entry, and the compiler (since it uses a constant address), will replace this with a direct access, with no array overhead.

Best Wishes
