Hi there All, I have a problem which seemed to be defying explanation, but I have come up with a theory. Could I possibly have some feedback on whether the following is likely, plausible, possible, untrue or downright rubbish? If one reads the contents of a CAN or ADC chip register at a particular address, then the label volatile is placed upon that address to prevent the compiler optimising out repeat readings of the address. If one reads the contents of the address into a variable, then the compiler would automatically treat the contents of this variable with similar care. Is it possible that there has been an oversight with statements where the contents of a variable depend on the contents of a volatile by way of an if statement, ie...
normal_var=volatile_var;
normal_var=voltile_var; if (normal_var=0x00) { another_normal_var+=1; }
PS I ought to add about this piece of code, that if the loop to detect if any CAN messages are received is repeated further down the piece of code. If these further repeats are removed (by for example the use of the lines...
while(1) { Watchdog(); }
