| Variable issues |

I tried to find something in the topics specific to my issue!
CCS C 4.130
PIC24HJ128GP502;
I'm having an issue with variables!
| Code: |
unsigned char *cDat; // this is pointing to a bunch of memory else where
unsigned short *value;
*value = pDat[0]<<8;
*value |= pDat[1];
|
This results in some very strange data.
Both pdat[0] and [1] are values of 255
so the value >should< be 65535.
But its not, it seems to be coming up with something else. Still 16bit but not the right value.
When i try
| Code: |
unsigned char *cDat; // this is pointing to a bunch of memory else where
unsigned short *value;
*value = (unsigned int16)pDat[0]<<8;
*value |= (unsigned int16)pDat[1];
|
Everything works fine...
Now i understand the need for the (unsigned int16) stuff, but if i had to do that with all the variables, its going to be a very long night.
I'm using stdint.h and
I can't seem to figure this out...
Thanks guys :D |

| Just as a note, a "short" is a 1 bit variable. I'm not sure you want that and you might be corrupting some of your variables (not sure how a dereferenced pointer to a 1 bit variable works in assignment). For CCS, I would suggest sticking with int1, int8, int16, int32, etc. instead of using short, long, etc. Much more portable between chips (if you ever need to). |

due to the way i wrote this original on the pc, short is now 8
deftype unsigned char short
i set #type short=8, int=32, long=32 |
