Hi everyone! I have 'Cx51 Compiler User's Guide(11, 2000)' that .pdf file(1MByte). But in case I search 'some article' at the 'Support' in the Keil Web site, it is some difference about the page information. for example about 'Inline assemble' Keil web site anounce me like that, ====================================== MORE INFORMATION Refer to page 53 of the C51 Compiler User's Guide 01.97 for more information about the SRC directive. ====================================== but I can't get the information about in in the 'User's Guide' I have. Plz, tell me about that and ... If it's differece is caused by 'the version', how(where) I can get or download that version?. Thanks. Joon
Yes, I think many of the page references in the Knowledge base are out of date. But can you imagine the nightmare of keeping them all up to date! Perhaps Keil should just abandon all references to specific page numbers. Presumably, the PDF you have is the correct one for the version of tools you have? It would be silly to get an out-of-date manual just to match the out-of-date page number references in the Knowledgebase! However, the principles are unlikely to have changed - so just use the 'Search' facility in your PDF viewer! eg, "Refer to page 53 of the C51 Compiler User's Guide 01.97 for more information about the SRC directive" Ignore the "page 53" reference, and just do a 'Search' for "SRC" BTW: If you're actually trying to find out about inline assembler, you should also look in the uVision Getting Started guide.
This is definitely not Keil only, but it would be extremely useful if the index indexed words not used in the text. e.g. you can find "overlayable" but not "data local to an assembler subroutine" or "local data" Erik such as: local data see overlayable
Yes, Absolutely! The compilation of a really useful index is indeed an art in itself. In this day and age, where online text searches are the norm, an index which simply lists the words used in the body of the text is of little value - we need some way to find find the synonyms, antonyms, parallel meanings, etc I seem to remember that the old MS-DOS Word-5 used to have the facility to "tag" sections of text with indexing terms - dunno if that's still possible?
