Hello,
I was hoping someone could tell me how the memory works during functions call out of main.
In regular C and C++, after functions return, the memory is free again.
How does it work in the 8051 using C?
For example:
void myFunc() { int VAR = 1; }
When the function gets called does VAR use data memory or code memory? When it returns, is the memory that VAR used, free to be used again?
Thanks.
In that case, does that mean splitting your code into more functions with local variables can be better for managing DATA and XDATA memory than using global variables and the only valid answer is: "that depends".
