I was hoping to find on-line manuals that I could print and read on the john. So far no luck. But what I really need is how to declare variables in C.
For example, I have a sample code that has the statement:
unsigned char
and
unsigned long
What do these mean and do they limit the declaration to integers. What do i declare if I want a floating point?
Also, someone told me I cant do floating point with a Keil Compiler because of licensing issues (I got my copy from Silicon Labs and have just registered it). I will eventually need to do trig functions. What do i have to get (buy) to complete my project?
The size difference between assembler and C can also come from calling a C RTL that drags in large blocks of library code. This quickly offsets the quota between C and assembler for smaller programs.
Having a look at the list files should make it clear where the C program is burning those extra 3k.
