Memory Specific Pointers

Nick Daniel

Hello,

I am delcaring some memory specific pointers using the examples on page 76 of the C51 Compiler Users Guide 01.97.

unsigned char xdata * idata key
Meaning a pointer in idata to a xdata unsigned char.

When I compile this I get a warning. 
warning C258: 'key' mspace on parameter ignored
If I ignore this warning the code works fine, but I don't like ignoring warnings uless I understand the problem.

Does anyone know why this code generates a warning? I have searched through the Keil site but have had no success.

Thanks,
Nick
