long int test
PostPosted: Mon Nov 01, 2004 9:38 am     Reply with quote

When I do a test like

if(x == 0x3456)

where x is an unsigned long int I find this test is true when x == 0x0056.

The upper byte is a don't care. How do I do the test such that the entire value is tested?

Well, if you are declaring x as

int x;

then x will be able to hold a value of 0 - 255. The declaration 'int' is the same as declaring int8, or an eight bit variable. By doing this:

int16 x;

this will make it an unsigned 16 bit integer that can now hold a value of 0 - 65535. These default to unsigned variables. If you want to make it so you can store negative numbers then you need to declare it like;

signed int8 x;
signed int16 x;

See if that will make a difference.

problem was a bug
PostPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2004 2:13 pm     Reply with quote

I've tried everything to typecast and make this if statement test the entire 16 bit value to no avail. The problem appears only when I run the design in the mplab simulator. When I run the design in hardware it works fine. I expect an hour delay and the hardware does it. In the simulator the lower 8 bits are tested only and I get a 14 minute delay. I had another problem with timer0 which showed up in the simulator but not in the hardware. Now I'm concerned that CCS and the mplab simulator is full of bugs and can't be trusted. I like to do developement on a laptop and run the simulator. I really like what CCS has to offer but I may be forced to go with C18. Any opinions from the experienced please? Thanks,

Get on the Microchip forum and post this problem.

Look at the lst file and see what is going on. Also, step through the code to gain more insight.

mplab is the problem

just talked with a C18 developer and was told he sees the same bug so MPLAB is the culprit.
