I am using an 8051 (C51/BL51) with no off-chip memory. I have two functions with parameters:
void Detect( U8 iLed )
and
static U8 INHSampleHandler( U16 u16Sample )
Now I understand that Keil will allocate a variable (in DATA) for these. The problem seems to be that the locator is using the same memory location for both. I cannot understand why.
Below are excerpts from the scratchpad showing 2 "D:0026H". These are the only places these symbols are declared. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks, Jeff

Indeed!
One moment, you're criticising fine detail and ignoring the context; then, just to be contrary, you decide to do the opposite!
Make up your mind!
"One moment, you're criticising fine detail and ignoring the context; then, just to be contrary, you decide to do the opposite!"
I thought I had answered that, in the post that yours above responded to.
but in case you missed it, sometimes fine details matter, and in other cases, they don't.
so it is hard and wrong to insist that one always pays attention to fine details - they are called "fine details" for a reason.
hope it helps.
Making a bold statement like "There are NO problems" - with the big emphasis on the NO - is not a fine detail. It is plain wrong.
this is exactly what IB wrote:
'There's NO problem with calling a function from an '51 ISR.
However, like most tasks, the programmer needs to understand the mechanism(s) involved and take appropriate steps to ensure the cogs fit correctly.
FWIW, we have plenty of code that calls functions from ISRs. It's all written in assembler and there have been no reported problems. Quite a few of those functions are inherently re-entrant. They are called from both ISR and mainline code. Most importantly, parameters and local variables are passed in registers.
No problem, so long as you know what you're doing, period.'
vs. what you characterized what he wrote:
"There are NO problems"
come on. would any reasonably intelligent people equate the two?
as I stated before, the two of you said the same thing, with different emphasis. and there is no point in pushing any of your statements to the extreme to justify the other.
"Making a bold statement like "There are NO problems" - with the big emphasis on the NO - is not a fine detail. It is plain wrong."
Well, thanks for that vote of confidence ;)
However - I do not believe it is wrong at all. There aren't any problems - So long as everything about the situation is understood. Nothing specific about '51 architecture there.
If I were to say that there were no problems with boiling an egg I guess I'd get a complaint from someone pointing out that it shouldn't be done because someone might leave the gas on and the house might burn down.
