I use KeilC uVision4 for 89C51 MCU. By "Inline ASM", i can easily direct write value to R7 register, like this :
#pragma ASM MOV R7, #10 #pragma ENDASM
But now, there are some reason that i have to write to R7 register direct from C (not from inline ASM), eg:
R7 = 10;
Of course, the C compiler does not understand R7 as MCU Register (not Inline ASM).
-> Is there anyway to solve this problem. Please help me if anyone know, thanks a lot !
When it comes to programming, there is not always a clear right or wrong.
However, some methods have clear advantages and some clear disadvantages. I can see no advantage in what you're trying to do - And I think others here would concur. It is simply cumbersome and potentially error prone.
A piece of complicated looking code does not mean that author is a genius. On the contrary, quite often it is the simple elegant pieces of code that are written by the smarter people.
There's nothing much simpler than a software delay loop - Why try to complicate it?
"I can see no advantage in what you're trying to do"
Absolutely: no advantage whatsoever; but plenty of clear disadvantages!!
"often it is the simple elegant pieces of code that are written by the smarter people."
Indeed - hence the "Engineer" comment earlier!
;-)
I merely trying to convince the OP (without much success, I guess...!) of the cascade negative impact his design will have - include impairing other piece of software that are supposed to have "well-known behavior".
.. to tell a young truly modern person not to write unmaintainable code.
today, the typical shop has 5 testers for each programmer, so who gives an iota if code is good, if it fails, the teaters will catch it.

Always worth leaving the accidental on purpose error in to test whether the teaters are awake ;)
