I am calling an assembly function from C. The prototype explicitly declares a xdata pointer parameter, foo(unsigned char xdata *buffer). Likewise the definition explicitly declares xdata pointer parameter. However, when it is compiled, the pointer is passed as a generic pointer. This is a problem because memory-specific pointer is passed in registers R6/R7 while generic is passed in R1/R2/R3.
Has anybody heard of this happening before.
My C Compiler is C51.exe V8.12
