Data Registers in Flowcode 8

[Dave Squibb]

Hi all
I've just upgraded from Flowcode 6 to 8 and am having problems with Data Registers.
In Flowcode 6 you could use a C box and put things like

Code: Select all

set_bit(intcon,2);  
clear_bit(intcon,2); 
cmcon=7;

This is not accepted in Flowcode 8, probably because of the Compiler change to XC8
How do I achieve this please?

Hi Dave,
Registers in boostC (up to and including V6) are in lower case.
Registers in XC8 (V7 and above) are in upper case.
This may also help

Hi Martin,
Thanks for that, I'll have a look. The C simulation doesn't seem to like lower or upper case.

Hello Dave,

The C code simulation will not simulate the microcontroller registers it is designed to simulate generic C code.

e.g. as shown here.

The only time I use a C icon is to set / clear bits in microcontroller variables. The simulator always jumped over C boxes so I was delighted that Flowcode 8 could simulate C..........

Is this something that could be added in the future? I appreciate that Flowcode can't know the initial value of the variable but if it is initialised by the user?
