"Call stack usage exceeds: #" in Flowcode 3 PRO
Posted: Fri May 01, 2009 5:20 am
I am new to Flowcode and fairly new to programming embedded.
After putting together a pretty good size (I think, because I have a good number of macros) code for PIC 16F877A,
at some point I started getting this error when compiling to hex and about at the same time the code started behaving in the application (locking up, freezing or calling the wrong subroutine), although it simulates just fine in flowcode.
I am wondering if this is a stack overflow issue.
Can anyone please explain the following warnings when compiling to hex?
Here's what I am getting:
