 Interrupt Context Save /
Restore
l High priority interrupt uses Hardware shadow
registers to save and restore
WREG,BSR,STATUS.
l Low priority interrupt uses the software stack to
manually save WREG,BSR,STATUS.
l You need to add save=[symbol or section] if your
ISR is complicated by:
l Accessing a calculated index within an array

l Calls other user functions

l Performs complex math (*,/,float)

l Accesses a ROM qualified variable

l Add #pragma to use new section in source.c

l Access these large (>256 byte) arrays and
structures through pointers or a variable

l Avoid fixed element addressing on these large
arrays and structures (ex: array[2])
l Pointers are more code efficient than array

LFSR Use

l MPLAB-C18’s -lfsr switch enables use of

the LFSR instruction

l Currently, MPLAB-C18 assumes that LFSR

shouldn’t be used without the -lfsr switch
given

l The switch should always be used when it is

known that the LFSR errata doesn’t exist on
the targeted part

Optimizations

l All of MPLAB-C18’s optimizations currently

l Optimizations should be enabled for smallest

l NOTE: Optimizations may interfere with

MPLAB debugging

© 2002 Microchip Technology Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 618 ICD PIC18FXXX DFT Hands On Workshop 195
 Command-Line Options
Memory Model
l MPLAB-C18 has two memory models:

-ms: small memory model (pointers to program

memory are 16-bits wide)

-ml: large memory model (pointers to program

memory are 24-bits wide)

l Use -ms whenever possible

 Command-Line Options
Data Storage Class
l C also provides for static local variables
l MPLAB-C18 extends C with static parameters
(available in v1.10 and later)
l For example:
char add( static char a, static char b )
{
static char result;
result = a + b;
return result;
}

l Gotcha #2 - Function pointers

l Function pointers may not be used with

functions containing static parameters

© 2002 Microchip Technology Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 618 ICD PIC18FXXX DFT Hands On Workshop 203
 static Gotchas

l Gotcha #3 - Matching declarations

All declarations must use explicit storage class if not all files
are compiled with the same default

l Example:
char add( char a, char b );
Will only work if the default storage class is
identical in both the declaring and defining
files.
© 2002 Microchip Technology Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 618 ICD PIC18FXXX DFT Hands On Workshop 204
 static Gotchas

l What if one of the “static Gotchas” applies to

your code?
ã Best case: use -ol on all files and explicit auto
storage class as needed.

ã Intermediate case: Use -ol on as many files as

possible and explicit storage classes as needed.

ã Worst case: Don’t use -ol, but use explicit

static storage class as much as possible.

Data Storage Class

l MPLAB-C18 v2.0 and later extends C with

the overlay storage class for local
variables
l Behaves identically to the static storage
class, except:
l RAM locations are overlaid by the linker when
possible based on a call tree analysis
l Default storage class can be set to overlay

Assembly Compatibility
l C source code on most PIC16C/FXXX platforms will
directly port to PIC18FXXXX
l Compatible Assembly code source except:
l Absolute constants used for program memory
l Computed GOTO (addwf PCL,F)
l RAM requirements above 256 bytes are selected by BSR
not RP0 and RP1 bits
l FSR is 12 bits wide, also includes auto increment
l Double check immediate constants when initializing
peripherals

 Code Conversion Tip
l Data Memory Access
bsf STATUS,RP0 bcf STATUS,RP0
l These instructions can be ignored because bits 7,6,5 in
STATUS register are unused
l For devices with less than 256 bytes of RAM, it is not
necessary to be concerned with RAM locations. Why is this
the case?
l Most memory accesses can be done in Access Bank
l Assembler will automatically select “a” bit when applicable
l Address locations now use 12-bit values.

l Set the BSR if you need to.
