Please note: double dashed longoptions (e.g.
 --version) are written this way: -

-
\layout Comment

Two resp.
 three consecutive dashes simply result in a long resp.
 extra long dash.
\layout Comment

Architecture specific stuff (like memory models, code examples) should maybe
 later go
\layout Comment

into seperate sections/chapters/appendices (it is hard to document PIC or
 Z80 in 
\layout Comment

a 8051 centered document) - for now simply add.

ompiler) is an open source, retargettable, optimizing ANSI-C compiler by
 
\series bold 
Sandeep Dutta
\series default 
 designed for 8 bit Microprocessors.
 The current version targets Intel MCS51 based Microprocessors (8031, 8032,
 8051, 8052
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{8031, 8032, 8051, 8052, mcs51 CPU}

\end_inset 

, etc.), Dallas DS80C390 variants, Freescale (formerly Motorola) HC08 and
 Zilog Z80 based MCUs.
 It can be retargetted for other microprocessors, support for Microchip
 PIC, Atmel AVR is under development.
 The entire source code for the compiler is distributed under GPL.
 SDCC uses ASXXXX
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{asXXXX (as-gbz80, as-hc08, asx8051, as-z80)}

\end_inset 

 & ASLINK
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{aslink}

\end_inset 

, an open source retargettable assembler & linker.
 SDCC has extensive language extensions suitable for utilizing various microcont
rollers and underlying hardware effectively.
 
\newline 

\newline 
In addition to the MCU specific optimizations SDCC also does a host of standard
 optimizations like:
\layout Itemize

global sub expression elimination, 
\layout Itemize

loop optimizations (loop invariant, strength reduction of induction variables
 and loop reversing), 
\layout Itemize

constant folding & propagation, 
\layout Itemize

copy propagation, 
\layout Itemize

dead code elimination 
\layout Itemize

jump tables for 
\emph on 
switch
\emph default 
 statements.
\layout Standard

For the back-end SDCC uses a global register allocation scheme which should
 be well suited for other 8 bit MCUs.
 
\newline 

\newline 
The peep hole optimizer uses a rule based substitution mechanism which is
 MCU independent.
 
\newline 

\newline 
Supported data-types are:
\layout Itemize

char (8 bits, 1 byte), 
\layout Itemize

short and int (16 bits, 2 bytes), 
\layout Itemize

long (32 bit, 4 bytes)
\layout Itemize

float (4 byte IEEE).
 
\layout Standard

The compiler also allows 
\emph on 
inline assembler code
\emph default 
 to be embedded anywhere in a function.
 In addition, routines developed in assembly can also be called.
\newline 

\newline 
SDCC also provides an option (-
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-cyclomatic) to report the relative complexity of a function.
 These functions can then be further optimized, or hand coded in assembly
 if needed.
 
\newline 

\newline 
SDCC also comes with a companion source level debugger SDCDB, the debugger
 currently uses ucSim a freeware simulator for 8051 and other micro-controllers.

Throughout this manual, we will use the following convention.
 Commands you have to type in are printed in 
\family sans 
\series bold 
"sans serif"

\layout Section

Compatibility with previous versions
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Compatibility with previous versions}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

This version has numerous bug fixes compared with the previous version.
 But we also introduced some incompatibilities with older versions.
 Not just for the fun of it, but to make the compiler more stable, efficient
 and ANSI compliant
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{ANSI-compliance}

\end_inset 

 (see section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:ANSI-Compliance}

\end_inset 

 for ANSI-Compliance).
 
\newline 

\layout Itemize

short is now equivalent to int (16 bits), it used to be equivalent to char
 (8 bits) which is not ANSI compliant.
\layout Itemize

the default directory for gcc-builds where include, library and documentation
 files are stored is now in /usr/local/share.
\layout Itemize

char type parameters to vararg functions are casted to int unless explicitly
 casted, e.g.: 
\newline 

\family typewriter 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
char a=3;
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
printf ("%d %c
\backslash 
n", a, (char)a);
\family default 

\newline 
 will push a as an int and as a char resp.

 types now consistently behave like the C99 _Bool type with respect to type
 conversion
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{type conversion}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{type promotion}

\end_inset 

.
 The most common incompatibility resulting from this change is related to
 bit toggling
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Bit toggling}

\end_inset 

 idioms, e.g.:
\newline 

\family typewriter 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
bit b;
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
b = ~b; /* equivalent to b=1 instead of toggling b */
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
b = !b; /* toggles b */
\newline 

\family default 
In previous versions, both forms would have toggled the bit.

System Requirements
\layout Standard

What do you need before you start installation of SDCC? A computer, and
 a desire to compute.
 The preferred method of installation is to compile SDCC from source using
 GNU gcc and make.
 For Windows some pre-compiled binary distributions are available for your
 convenience.
 You should have some experience with command line tools and compiler use.
\layout Section

Other Resources
\layout Standard

The SDCC home page at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/}

\end_inset 

 is a great place to find distribution sets.
 You can also find links to the user mailing lists that offer help or discuss
 SDCC with other SDCC users.
 Web links to other SDCC related sites can also be found here.
 This document can be found in the DOC directory of the source package as
 a text or HTML file.
 A pdf version of this document is available at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/doc/sdccman.pdf}

\end_inset 

.
 Some of the other tools (simulator and assembler) included with SDCC contain
 their own documentation and can be found in the source distribution.
 If you want the latest unreleased software, the complete source package
 is available directly by anonymous CVS on cvs.sdcc.sourceforge.net.

These configure options are compiled into the binaries, and can only be

the binaries can be built by cross compiling on Sourceforge's compile farm.

See the examples, how to pass the Win32 settings to 'configure'.
 The other Win32 builds using Borland, VC or whatever don't use 'configure',

'configure' is quite slow on Cygwin (at least on windows before Win2000/XP).
 The option '-
\begin_inset ERT

\backslash

-C' turns on caching, which gives a little bit extra speed.
 However if options are changed, it can be necessary to delete the config.cache
 file.

SDCC sources use the unix line ending LF.
 Life is much easier, if you store the source tree on a drive which is mounted
 in binary mode.
 And use an editor which can handle LF-only line endings.
 Make sure not to commit files with windows line endings.
 The tabulator spacing
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{tabulator spacing (8 columns)}

\end_inset 

 used in the project is 8.
 Although a tabulator spacing of 8 is a sensible choice for programmers
 (it's a power of 2 and allows to display 8/16 bit signed variables without
 loosing columns) the plan is to move towards using only spaces in the source.

Building SDCC Using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0/NET (MSVC)
\layout Standard


\series medium 
Download the source package
\series default 
 either from the SDCC CVS repository or from the 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[nightly snapshots]{http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php}

\end_inset 


\series medium 
, it will be named something like sdcc
\series default 
.src
\series medium 
.tgz.

\series default 
 SDCC is distributed with all the projects, workspaces, and files you need
 to build it using Visual C++ 6.0/NET (except for sdcdb.exe which currently
 doesn't build under MSVC).
 The workspace name is 'sdcc.dsw'.
 Please note that as it is now, all the executables are created in a folder
 called sdcc
\backslash 
bin_vc.
 Once built you need to copy the executables from sdcc
\backslash 
bin_vc to sdcc
\backslash 
bin before running SDCC.
 
\newline 

\newline 
WARNING: Visual studio is very picky with line terminations; it expects
 the 0x0d, 0x0a DOS style line endings, not the 0x0a Unix style line endings.
 If you are getting a message such as "This makefile was not generated by
 Developer Studio etc.
 etc.
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset 

 when opening the sdcc.dsw workspace or any of the *.dsp projects, then you
 need to convert the Unix style line endings to DOS style line endings.
 To do so you can use the 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset 

unix2dos
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset 

 utility freely available on the internet.
 Doug Hawkins reported in the sdcc-user list that this works:
\newline 

\newline 
C:
\backslash 
Programming
\backslash 
SDCC> unix2dos sdcc.dsw
\newline 
C:
\backslash 
Programming
\backslash 
SDCC> for /R %I in (*.dsp) do @unix2dos "%I"
\newline 

\newline 
In order to build SDCC with MSVC you need win32 executables of bison.exe,
 flex.exe, and gawk.exe.
 One good place to get them is 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url[here]{http://unxutils.sourceforge.net}

\end_inset 


\newline 

\newline 
Download the file UnxUtils
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{UnxUtils}

\end_inset 

.zip.
 Now you have to install the utilities and setup MSVC so it can locate the
 required programs.
 Here there are two alternatives (choose one!):
\layout Enumerate

The easy way:
\newline 

\newline 
a) Extract UnxUtils.zip to your C:
\backslash 
 hard disk PRESERVING the original paths, otherwise bison won't work.
 (If you are using WinZip make certain that 'Use folder names' is selected)
\newline 

\newline 
b) In the Visual C++ IDE click Tools, Options, select the Directory tab,
 in 'Show directories for:' select 'Executable files', and in the directories
 window add a new path: 'C:
\backslash 
user
\backslash 
local
\backslash 
wbin', click ok.
\newline 

\newline 
(As a side effect, you get a bunch of Unix utilities that could be useful,
 such as diff and patch.)
\layout Enumerate

A more compact way:
\newline 

\newline 
This one avoids extracting a bunch of files you may not use, but requires
 some extra work:
\newline 

\newline 
a) Create a directory were to put the tools needed, or use a directory already
 present.
 Say for example 'C:
\backslash 
util'.
\newline 

\newline 
b) Extract 'bison.exe', 'bison.hairy', 'bison.simple', 'flex.exe', and gawk.exe
 to such directory WITHOUT preserving the original paths.
 (If you are using WinZip make certain that 'Use folder names' is not selected)
\newline 

\newline 
c) Rename bison.exe to '_bison.exe'.
\newline 

\newline 
d) Create a batch file 'bison.bat' in 'C:
\backslash 
util
\backslash 
' and add these lines: 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
set BISON_SIMPLE=C:
\backslash 
util
\backslash 
bison.simple 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
set BISON_HAIRY=C:
\backslash 
util
\backslash 
bison.hairy
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
_bison %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
\newline 

\newline 
Steps 'c' and 'd' are needed because bison requires by default that the
 files 'bison.simple' and 'bison.hairy' reside in some weird Unix directory,
 '/usr/local/share/' I think.
 So it is necessary to tell bison where those files are located if they
 are not in such directory.
 That is the function of the environment variables BISON_SIMPLE and BISON_HAIRY.
\newline 

\newline 
e) In the Visual C++ IDE click Tools, Options, select the Directory tab,
 in 'Show directories for:' select 'Executable files', and in the directories
 window add a new path: 'c:
\backslash 
util', click ok.
 Note that you can use any other path instead of 'c:
\backslash 
util', even the path where the Visual C++ tools are, probably: 'C:
\backslash 
Program Files
\backslash 
Microsoft Visual Studio
\backslash 
Common
\backslash 
Tools'.
 So you don't have to execute step 'e' :)
\layout Standard

That is it.
 Open 'sdcc.dsw' in Visual Studio, click 'build all', when it finishes copy
 the executables from sdcc
\backslash 
bin_vc to sdcc
\backslash 
bin, and you can compile using SDCC.
\layout Subsection

Building SDCC Using Borland
\layout Enumerate

From the sdcc directory, run the command "make -f Makefile.bcc".
 This should regenerate all the .exe files in the bin directory except for
 sdcdb.exe (which currently doesn't build under Borland C++).
\layout Enumerate

If you modify any source files and need to rebuild, be aware that the dependenci
es may not be correctly calculated.
 The safest option is to delete all .obj files and run the build again.
 From a Cygwin BASH prompt, this can easily be done with the command (be
 sure you are in the sdcc directory):
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
find .
 
\backslash 
( -name '*.obj' -o -name '*.lib' -o -name '*.rul' 
\backslash 
) -print -exec rm {} 
\backslash 
;
\family default 
\series default 

\newline 

\newline 
or on Windows NT/2000/XP from the command prompt with the command:
\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 

\newline 
del /s *.obj *.lib *.rul
\family default 
\series default 
 from the sdcc directory.

Download the binary zip package from 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://sdcc.sf.net/snap.php}

 and unpack it using your favorite unpacking tool (gunzip, WinZip, etc).
 This should unpack to a group of sub-directories.
 An example directory structure after unpacking the mingw32 package is:
 c:
\backslash 
sdcc
\backslash 
bin for the executables, c:
\backslash 
sdcc
\backslash 
include and c:

 at the prompt, and the program should run and tell you the version.
 If it doesn't run, or gives a message about not finding sdcc program, then
 you need to check over your installation.
 Make sure that the sdcc bin directory is in your executable search path

\family default 
\series default 
 
\series medium 
If all goes well, the compiler will generate a test.asm and test.rel file.
 Congratulations, you've just compiled your first program with SDCC.
 We used the -c option to tell SDCC not to link the generated code, just
 to keep things simple for this step.
\series default

The next step is to try it with the linker.
 Type in 
\family sans

.
 If all goes well the compiler will link with the libraries and produce
 a test.ihx output file.
 If this step fails
\series default

Components of SDCC
\layout Standard

SDCC is not just a compiler, but a collection of tools by various developers.
 These include linkers, assemblers, simulators and other components.
 Here is a summary of some of the components.
 Note that the included simulator and assembler have separate documentation
 which you can find in the source package in their respective directories.
 As SDCC grows to include support for other processors, other packages from
 various developers are included and may have their own sets of documentation.
\newline 

\newline 
You might want to look at the files which are installed in <installdir>.

Projects with Multiple Source Files
\layout Standard

SDCC can compile only ONE file at a time.
 Let us for example assume that you have a project containing the following
 files:
\newline 

\newline 
foo1.c (contains some functions)
\newline 
foo2.c (contains some more functions)
\newline 
foomain.c (contains more functions and the function main)
\newline 

\size footnotesize 

\newline 

\size default 
The first two files will need to be compiled separately with the commands:
\size footnotesize 
 
\size default 

\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc\SpecialChar ~
-c\SpecialChar ~
foo1.c
\family default 
\series default 
\size footnotesize 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
\size default 
sdcc\SpecialChar ~
-c\SpecialChar ~
foo2.c
\family default 
\series default 

\newline 

\newline 
Then compile the source file containing the 
\emph on 
main()
\emph default 
 function and link
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Linker}

\end_inset 

 the files together with the following command: 
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc\SpecialChar ~
foomain.c\SpecialChar ~
foo1.rel\SpecialChar ~
foo2.rel
\family default 
\series default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.rel}

\end_inset 


\newline 

\newline 
Alternatively, 
\emph on 
foomain.c 
\emph default 
can be separately compiled as well: 
\family sans 
\series bold 

\newline 

\newline 
sdcc\SpecialChar ~
-c\SpecialChar ~
foomain.c
\newline 
sdcc foomain.rel foo1.rel foo2.rel
\newline 

\newline 

\family default 
\series default 
The file containing the 
\emph on 
main()
\emph default 
 function
\emph on 
 
\emph default 
\noun on 
must
\noun default 
 be the 
\noun on 
first
\noun default 
 file specified in the command line, since the linkage editor processes
 file in the order they are presented to it.
 The linker is invoked from SDCC using a script file with extension .lnk
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.lnk}

\end_inset 

.
 You can view this file to troubleshoot linking problems such as those arising
 from missing libraries.
\layout Subsection

Projects with Additional Libraries
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Libraries}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Some reusable routines may be compiled into a library, see the documentation
 for the assembler and linkage editor (which are in <installdir>/share/sdcc/doc)
 for how to create a 
\emph on 
.lib
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.lib}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
 library file.
 Libraries created in this manner can be included in the command line.
 Make sure you include the -L <library-path> option to tell the linker where
 to look for these files if they are not in the current directory.
 Here is an example, assuming you have the source file 
\emph on 
foomain.c
\emph default 
 and a library
\emph on 
 foolib.lib
\emph default 
 in the directory 
\emph on 
mylib
\emph default 
 (if that is not the same as your current project):
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc foomain.c foolib.lib -L mylib
\newline 

\newline 

\family default 
\series default 
Note here that
\emph on 
 mylib
\emph default 
 must be an absolute path name.
\newline 

\newline 
The most efficient way to use libraries is to keep separate modules in separate
 source files.
 The lib file now should name all the modules.rel
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.rel}

\end_inset 

 files.
 For an example see the standard library file 
\emph on 
libsdcc.lib
\emph default 
 in the directory <installdir>/share/lib/small.
\layout Subsection

Using sdcclib to Create and Manage Libraries
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sdcclib}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Alternatively, instead of having a .rel file for each entry on the library
 file as described in the preceding section, sdcclib can be used to embed
 all the modules belonging to such library in the library file itself.
 This results in a larger library file, but it greatly reduces the number
 of disk files accessed by the linker.
  Additionally, the packed library file contains an index of all include
 modules and symbols that significantly speeds up the linking process.
 To display a list of options supported by sdcclib type:
\newline 

\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib -?
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sdcclib}

\end_inset 


\newline 

\newline 

\family default 
\series default 
To create a new library file, start by compiling all the required modules.
 For example:
\newline 

\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -c _divsint.c
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -c _divuint.c
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -c _modsint.c
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -c _moduint.c
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -c _mulint.c
\newline 

\layout Standard

This will create files _divsint.rel, _divuint.rel, _modsint.rel, _moduint.rel,
 and _mulint.rel.
 The next step is to add the .rel files to the library file:
\newline 

\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib libint.lib _divsint.rel
\family default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sdcclib}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib libint.lib _divuint.rel
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib libint.lib _modsint.rel
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib libint.lib _moduint.rel
\layout Standard


\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib libint.lib _mulint.rel
\series default 

\newline 

\layout Standard

If the file already exists in the library, it will be replaced.
 To see what modules and symbols are included in the library, options -s
 and -m are available.
 For example:
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcclib -s libint.lib
\family default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sdcclib}

\end_inset

\newline 
_mulint.rel:
\layout Standard


\family typewriter 
__mulint_PARM_2
\layout Standard


\family typewriter 
__mulint
\family default 
\series bold 

\newline 

\layout Standard

If the source files are compiled using -
\begin_inset ERT
status Open

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-debug
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-debug}

\end_inset 

, the corresponding debug information file .adb will be include in the library
 file as well.
 The library files created with sdcclib are plain text files, so they can
 be viewed with a text editor.
 It is not recomended to modify a library file created with sdcclib using
 a text editor, as there are file indexes numbers located accross the file
 used by the linker to quickly locate the required module to link.
 Once a .rel file (as well as a .adb file) is added to a library using sdcclib,
 it can be safely deleted, since all the information required for linking
 is embedded in the library file itself.
 Library files created using sdcclib are used as described in the preceding
 sections.

 This is the one and only that the ds390 code generator supports right now

 In this mode, the stack is located in the lower 1K of the internal RAM,
 which is mapped to 0x400000.
 Note that the support is incomplete, since it still uses a single byte
 as the stack pointer.
 This means that only the lower 256 bytes of the potential 1K stack space
 will actually be used.
 However, this does allow you to reclaim the precious 256 bytes of low RAM
 for use for the DATA and IDATA segments.
 The compiler will not generate any code to put the processor into 10 bit
 stack mode.
 It is important to ensure that the processor is in this mode before calling
 any re-entrant functions compiled with this option.

 The compiler by default uses a caller saves convention for register saving
 across function calls, however this can cause unnecessary register pushing

 This option can be used to switch the register saving convention for the

 The compiler will not save registers when calling these functions, no extra
 code will be generated at the entry & exit (function prologue

 needs to be recompiled with the same option.

 In addition to the explicit pointers, the compiler uses (by default) generic
 pointers which can be used to point to any of the memory spaces.

\newline 
/* the following is a generic pointer physically located in xdata space

Notes on MCS51 memory
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{MCS51 memory}

\end_inset 

 layout
\layout Standard

The 8051 family of microcontrollers have a minimum of 128 bytes of internal
 RAM memory which is structured as follows:
\newline 

\newline 
- Bytes 00-1F - 32 bytes to hold up to 4 banks of the registers R0 to R7,
 
\newline 
- Bytes 20-2F - 16 bytes to hold 128 bit
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{bit}

\end_inset 

 variables and, 
\newline 
- Bytes 30-7F - 80 bytes for general purpose use.
\newline 

\layout Standard

Additionally some members of the MCS51 family may have up to 128 bytes of
 additional, indirectly addressable, internal RAM memory (
\emph on 
idata
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{idata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_idata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 

).
 Furthermore, some chips may have some built in external memory (
\emph on 
xdata
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{xdata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_xdata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 

) which should not be confused with the internal, directly addressable RAM
 memory (
\emph on 
data
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{data (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_data (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 

).
 Sometimes this built in 
\emph on 
xdata
\emph default 
 memory has to be activated before using it (you can probably find this
 information on the datasheet of the microcontroller your are using, see
 also section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:Startup-Code}

\end_inset 

\SpecialChar ~
Startup-Code).
\layout Standard

Normally SDCC will only use the first bank
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{register bank (mcs51, ds390)}

\end_inset 

 of registers (register bank 0), but it is possible to specify that other
 banks of registers (keyword 
\emph on 
using
\emph default 
 
\emph on 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{using (mcs51, ds390 register bank)}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_using (mcs51, ds390 register bank)}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
) should be used in interrupt
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_interrupt}

\end_inset 

 routines.
 By default, the compiler will place the stack after the last byte of allocated
 memory for variables.
 For example, if the first 2 banks of registers are used, and only four
 bytes are used for 
\emph on 
data
\emph default 
 variables, it will position the base of the internal stack at address 20
 (0x14).
 This implies that as the stack
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{stack}

\end_inset 

 grows, it will use up the remaining register banks, and the 16 bytes used
 by the 128 bit variables, and 80 bytes for general purpose use.
 If any bit variables are used, the data variables will be placed in unused
 register banks and after the byte holding the last bit variable.
 For example, if register banks 0 and 1 are used, and there are 9 bit variables
 (two bytes used), 
\emph on 
data
\emph default 
 variables will be placed starting from address 0x10 to 0x20 and continue
 at address 0x22.
 You can also use -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-data-loc
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-data-loc <Value>}

\end_inset

\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-iram-size
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-iram-size <Value>}

\end_inset 

 to specify the size of the total internal RAM (
\emph on 
data
\emph default 
+
\emph on 
idata
\emph default 
).
 
\layout Standard

By default the 8051 linker will place the stack after the last byte of (i)data
 variables.
 Option -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-stack-loc
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-stack-loc <Value>}

\end_inset 

 allows you to specify the start of the stack, i.e.
 you could start it after any data in the general purpose area.
 If your microcontroller has additional indirectly addressable internal
 RAM (
\emph on 
idata
\emph default 
) you can place the stack on it.
 You may also need to use -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-xdata-loc
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-xdata-loc<Value>}

\end_inset 

 to set the start address of the external RAM (
\emph on 
xdata
\emph default 
) and -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-xram-size
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-xram-size <Value>}

\end_inset 

 to specify its size.
 Same goes for the code memory, using -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-code-loc
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-code-loc <Value>}

\end_inset

\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-code-size
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-code-size <Value>}

\end_inset 

.
 If in doubt, don't specify any options and see if the resulting memory
 layout is appropriate, then you can adjust it.
\layout Standard

The linker generates two files with memory allocation information.
 The first, with extension .map
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.map}

\end_inset 

 shows all the variables and segments.
 The second with extension .mem
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.mem}

\end_inset 

 shows the final memory layout.
 The linker will complain either if memory segments overlap, there is not
 enough memory, or there is not enough space for stack.
 If you get any linking warnings and/or errors related to stack or segments
 allocation, take a look at either the .map or .mem files to find out what
 the problem is.
 The .mem file may even suggest a solution to the problem.

 This is the default if no storage class is specified.

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_at}

\end_inset 

 <address>
\emph default 
 keyword, in addition to a storage class, e.g.:
\layout Verse

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_at}

\end_inset 

 0x7ffe unsigned int chksum;
\layout Standard

In the above example the variable chksum will be located at 0x7ffe and 0x7fff
 of the external ram.
 The compiler does 
\emph on 
not
\emph default 
 reserve any space for variables declared in this way (they are implemented
 with an equate in the assembler).
 Thus it is left to the programmer to make sure there are no overlaps with
 other variables that are declared without the absolute address.
 The assembler listing file (.lst
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.lst}

\end_inset 

) and the linker output files (.rst
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.rst}

\end_inset 

) and (.map
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.map}

\end_inset 

) are good places to look for such overlaps.
 Variables with an absolute address are 
\emph on 
not
\emph default

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Variable initialization}

\end_inset 

.
\layout Standard

In case of memory mapped I/O devices the keyword 
\emph on 
volatile
\emph default 
 has to be used to tell the compiler that accesses might not be removed:

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{at}

\end_inset 

 0x8000 unsigned char PORTA_8255;
\layout Standard

For some architectures (mcs51) array accesses are more efficient if an (xdata/fa

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Aligned array}

\end_inset 


\family default

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{block boundary}

\end_inset 

 (section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:A-Step-by Assembler Introduction}

\end_inset 

 has an example).
\newline 
Absolute addresses can be specified for variables in all storage classes,
 e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
bit
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{bit}

\end_inset 

 at
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{at}

\end_inset 

 0x02 bvar;
\layout Standard

The above example will allocate the variable at offset 0x02 in the bit-addressab
le space.
 There is no real advantage to assigning absolute addresses to variables
 in this manner, unless you want strict control over all the variables allocated.
 One possible use would be to write hardware portable code.
 For example, if you have a routine that uses one or more of the microcontroller
 I/O pins, and such pins are different for two different hardwares, you
 can declare the I/O pins in your routine using:
\layout Verse

and you can use the same hardware dependent routine without changes, as

\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sec:Parameters-and-Local-Variables}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Automatic (local) variables and parameters to functions can either be placed
 on the stack or in data-space.
 The default action of the compiler is to place these variables in the internal
 RAM (for small model) or external RAM (for large model).
 This in fact makes them similar to 
\emph on 
static

\emph default 
 so by default functions are non-reentrant
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{reentrant}

\end_inset

\newline 

\newline 
They can be placed on the stack

\end_inset 

 or by using the

\end_inset 


\emph default

\newline 
{ 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
...
 
\newline

\layout Standard

Since stack space on 8051 is limited, the

\emph default 
keyword or the
\emph on 
 -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash

\end_inset 

-stack-auto

 option should be used sparingly.
 Note that the reentrant keyword just means that the parameters & local

\emph on 
does not
\emph default 
 mean that the function is register bank
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{register bank (mcs51, ds390)}

\end_inset 

 independent.
\newline 

\newline 
Local variables
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{local variables}

\end_inset 

 can be assigned storage classes and absolute
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Absolute addressing}

\layout Standard

In the above example the variable

i
\emph default 
 will be allocated in the external ram, 
\emph on 
bvar
\emph default 
 in bit addressable space and
\emph on

 When compiled with

 however are not allowed any storage class

Overlaying

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Overlaying}

\layout Standard

For non-reentrant
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{reentrant}

\end_inset 

 functions SDCC will try to reduce internal ram space usage by overlaying
 parameters and local variables of a function (if possible).
 Parameters and local variables
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{local variables}

\end_inset 

 of a function will be allocated to an overlayable segment if the function
 has 
\emph on 
no other function calls and the function is non-reentrant and the memory
 model
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Memory model}

\end_inset 

 is small.

\emph default 
 If an explicit storage class
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Storage class}

\end_inset 

 is specified for a local variable, it will NOT be overlayed.
\layout Standard

Note that the compiler (not the linkage editor) makes the decision for overlayin
g the data items.
 Functions that are called from an interrupt service routine should be preceded
 by a #pragma\SpecialChar ~
nooverlay
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\#pragma nooverlay}

\end_inset 

 if they are not reentrant.
\layout Standard

Also note that the compiler does not do any processing of inline assembler
 code, so the compiler might incorrectly assign local variables and parameters
 of a function into the overlay segment if the inline assembler code calls
 other c-functions that might use the overlay.
 In that case the #pragma\SpecialChar ~
nooverlay should be used.
\layout Standard

Parameters and local variables of functions that contain 16 or 32 bit multiplica
tion
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Multiplication}

\end_inset 

 or division
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Division}

\end_inset 

 will NOT be overlayed since these are implemented using external functions,
 e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
#pragma save 
\newline 
#pragma nooverlay
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\#pragma nooverlay}

\end_inset 

 
\newline 
void set_error(unsigned char errcd)

set_error(10);
\newline

\newline 
}
\layout Standard

In the above example the parameter 
\emph on 
errcd
\emph default 
 for the function 
\emph on 
set_error
\emph default 
 would be assigned to the overlayable segment if the #pragma\SpecialChar ~
nooverlay was
 not present, this could cause unpredictable runtime behavior when called
 from an interrupt service routine.
 The #pragma\SpecialChar ~
nooverlay ensures that the parameters and local variables for
 the function are NOT overlayed.

\emph default 
 (i.e.
 the processor needs more than one instruction for the access and could

 Access to 16 or 32 bit variables is obviously not atomic on 8 bit CPUs
 and should be protected by disabling interrupts.
 You're not automatically on the safe side if you use 8 bit variables though.

 a register bank or with register bank 0 (

 entry and restore them at exit, however if such an interrupt service routine
 calls another function then the entire register bank will be saved on the
 stack.
 This scheme may be advantageous for small interrupt service routines which
 have low register usage.
\layout Standard

If the interrupt service routine is defined to be using a specific register
 bank then only 
\emph on 
a, b, dptr
\emph default

 another function (using another register bank) then the entire register
 bank of the called function will be saved on the stack.
 This scheme is recommended for larger interrupt service routines.

HC08 Interrupt Service Routines
\layout Standard

Since the number of interrupts available is chip specific and the interrupt
 vector table always ends at the last byte of memory, the interrupt numbers
 corresponds to the interrupt vectors in reverse order of address.
 For example, interrupt 1 will use the interrupt vector at 0xfffc, interrupt
 2 will use the interrupt vector at 0xfffa, and so on.
 However, interrupt 0 (the reset vector at 0xfffe) is not redefinable in
 this way; instead see section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:Startup-Code}

\end_inset 

 for details on customizing startup.

Z80 Interrupt Service Routines
\layout Standard

The Z80 uses several different methods for determining the correct interrupt
 vector depending on the hardware implementation.
 Therefore, SDCC ignores the optional interrupt number and does not attempt
 to generate an interrupt vector table.
\layout Standard

By default, SDCC generates code for a maskable interrupt, which uses an
 RETI instruction to return from the interrupt.
 To write an interrupt handler for the non-maskable interrupt, which needs
 an RETN instruction instead, add the 
\emph on 
critical
\emph default 
 keyword:

Note: it is sometimes sufficient to disable only a specific interrupt source
 like f.e.
 a timer or serial interrupt by manipulating an 
\emph on 
interrupt mask
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt mask}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
 register.
 
\layout Standard

Usually the time during which interrupts are disabled should be kept as
 short as possible.
 This minimizes both 
\emph on 
interrupt latency
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt latency}

\end_inset 

 (the time between the occurrence of the interrupt and the execution of
 the first code in the interrupt routine) and 
\emph on 
interrupt jitter
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt jitter}

\end_inset 

 (the difference between the shortest and the longest interrupt latency).
 These really are something different, f.e.
 a serial interrupt has to be served before its buffer overruns so it cares
 for the maximum interrupt latency, whereas it does not care about jitter.
 On a loudspeaker driven via a digital to analog converter which is fed
 by an interrupt a latency of a few milliseconds might be tolerable, whereas
 a much smaller jitter will be very audible.
\layout Standard

You can reenable interrupts within an interrupt routine and on some architecture
s you can make use of two (or more) levels of 
\emph on 
interrupt priorities
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt priority}

\end_inset 

.
 On some architectures which don't support interrupt priorities these can
 be implemented by manipulating the interrupt mask and reenabling interrupts
 within the interrupt routine.
 Check there is sufficient space on the stack

 and don't add complexity unless you have to.

 These type of instructions are typically used in preemptive multitasking

 claims the use of a data structure ('acquires a lock

 on it'), makes some modifications and then releases the lock when the data
 structure is consistent again.
 The instruction may also be used if interrupt and non-interrupt code have
 to compete for a resource.
 With the atomic bit test and clear instruction interrupts

Functions using private register banks
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:Functions-using-private-banks}

 SDCC supports this feature with the

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_\_using (mcs51, ds390 register bank)}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
 attribute (which tells the compiler to use a register bank
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{register bank (mcs51, ds390)}

\end_inset 

 other than the default bank zero).
 It should only be applied to 
\emph on 
interrupt
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
 functions (see footnote below).
 This will in most circumstances make the generated ISR code more efficient
 since it will not have to save registers on the stack.
\layout Standard

The 
\emph on 
using
\emph default 
 attribute will have no effect on the generated code for a 
\emph on 
non-interrupt
\emph default 
 function (but may occasionally be useful anyway
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed false

\layout Standard

possible exception: if a function is called ONLY from 'interrupt' functions
 using a particular bank, it can be declared with the same 'using' attribute
 as the calling 'interrupt' functions.
 For instance, if you have several ISRs using bank one, and all of them
 call memcpy(), it might make sense to create a specialized version of memcpy()
 'using 1', since this would prevent the ISR from having to save bank zero
 to the stack on entry and switch to bank zero before calling the function
\end_inset 

).
\newline 

\emph on 
(pending: I don't think this has been done yet)
\layout Standard

An 
\emph on 
interrupt
\emph default 
 function using a non-zero bank will assume that it can trash that register
 bank, and will not save it.
 Since high-priority interrupts
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupts}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt priority}

\end_inset 

 can interrupt low-priority ones on the 8051 and friends, this means that
 if a high-priority ISR 
\emph on 
using
\emph default 
 a particular bank occurs while processing a low-priority ISR 
\emph on 
using
\emph default 
 the same bank, terrible and bad things can happen.
 To prevent this, no single register bank should be 
\emph on 
used
\emph default 
 by both a high priority and a low priority ISR.
 This is probably most easily done by having all high priority ISRs use
 one bank and all low priority ISRs use another.
 If you have an ISR which can change priority at runtime, you're on your
 own: I suggest using the default bank zero and taking the small performance
 hit.
\layout Standard

It is most efficient if your ISR calls no other functions.
 If your ISR must call other functions, it is most efficient if those functions
 use the same bank as the ISR (see note 1 below); the next best is if the
 called functions use bank zero.
 It is very inefficient to call a function using a different, non-zero bank
 from an ISR.

 This means that the user is entirely responsible for such things as saving
 any registers that may need to be preserved, selecting the proper register
 bank, generating the

 Practically, this means that the contents of the function must be written
 in inline assembler.
 This is particularly useful for interrupt functions, which can have a large

 These support routines are all developed in ANSI-C to facilitate porting

 used.
 The following files contain the described routines, all of them can be

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{MCS51 memory model}

\end_inset 


\layout Subsubsection

Small and Large
\layout Standard

SDCC allows two memory models for MCS51 code, 
\shape slanted 
small
\shape default 
 and 
\shape slanted 
large
\shape default 
.
 Modules compiled with different memory models should 
\emph on 
never
\emph default 
 be combined together or the results would be unpredictable.
 The library routines supplied with the compiler are compiled as both small
 and large.
 The compiled library modules are contained in separate directories as small
 and large so that you can link to either set.
 
\layout Standard

When the large model is used all variables declared without a storage class
 will be allocated into the external ram, this includes all parameters and
 local variables (for non-reentrant
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{reentrant}

\end_inset 

 functions).
 When the small model is used variables without storage class are allocated
 in the internal ram.
\layout Standard

Judicious usage of the processor specific storage classes
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Storage class}

\end_inset 

 and the 'reentrant' function type will yield much more efficient code,
 than using the large model.
 Several optimizations are disabled when the program is compiled using the
 large model, it is therefore recommended that the small model be used unless
 absolutely required.
\layout Subsubsection

External Stack
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:External-Stack}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{stack}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{External stack (mcs51)}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

The external stack (-
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard

\backslash

\end_inset 

-xstack option
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-xstack}

\end_inset 

) is located in pdata
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{pdata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 

 memory (usually at the start of the external ram segment) and uses all
 unused space in pdata (max.
 256 bytes).
 When -
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-xstack option is used to compile the program, the parameters and local
 variables
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{local variables}

\end_inset 

 of all reentrant functions are allocated in this area.
 This option is provided for programs with large stack space requirements.
 When used with the -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-stack-auto
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-stack-auto}

\end_inset 

 option, all parameters and local variables are allocated on the external
 stack (note: support libraries will need to be recompiled with the same
 options.
 There is a predefined target in the library makefile).
\layout Standard

The compiler outputs the higher order address byte of the external ram segment
 into port P2
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{P2 (mcs51 sfr)}

\end_inset 

 (see also section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:MCS51-variants}

\end_inset 

), therefore when using the External Stack option, this port 
\emph on 
may not
\emph default 
 be used by the application program.

DS390 Memory Model
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Memory model}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{DS390 memory model}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

The only model supported is Flat 24
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Flat 24 (DS390 memory model)}

\end_inset 

.
 This generates code for the 24 bit contiguous addressing mode of the Dallas
 DS80C390 part.
 In this mode, up to four meg of external RAM or code space can be directly
 addressed.
 See the data sheets at www.dalsemi.com for further information on this part.
\newline 

\newline 
Note that the compiler does not generate any code to place the processor
 into 24 bitmode (although 
\emph on 
tinibios
\emph default 
 in the ds390 libraries will do that for you).
 If you don't use 
\emph on 
tinibios
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Tinibios (DS390)}

\end_inset 

, the boot loader or similar code must ensure that the processor is in 24
 bit contiguous addressing mode before calling the SDCC startup code.
\newline 

\newline 
Like the 
\emph on 
-
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash

\end_inset 

-model-large
\emph default 
 option, variables will by default be placed into the XDATA segment.

\newline 
Segments may be placed anywhere in the 4 meg address space using the usual
 -
\begin_inset ERT

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-*-loc options.
 Note that if any segments are located above 64K, the -r flag must be passed
 to the linker to generate the proper segment relocations, and the Intel
 HEX output format must be used.
 The -r flag can be passed to the linker by using the option 
\emph on 
-Wl-r
\emph default 
 on the SDCC command line.
 However, currently the linker can not handle code segments > 64k.

Pragmas

\layout Standard

SDCC supports the following #pragma directives:
\layout Itemize

save

 - this will save all current options to the save/restore stack.
 See #pragma\SpecialChar ~
restore.
\layout Itemize

\end_inset 

 - will restore saved options from the last save.

 This option can be used to switch off the register saving convention for

 are used to control options & optimizations for a given function; pragmas
 should be placed before and/or after a function, placing pragma's inside

\layout Standard

MCS51 processors are available from many vendors and come in many different
 flavours.
 While they might differ considerably in respect to Special Function Registers
 the core MCS51 is usually not modified or is kept compatible.
 
\layout Subsection

pdata access by SFR 
\layout Standard

With the upcome of devices with internal xdata and flash memory devices
 using port P2
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{P2 (mcs51 sfr)}

\end_inset 

 as dedicated I/O port is becoming more popular.
 Switching the high byte for pdata
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{pdata (mcs51, ds390 storage class)}

\end_inset 

 access which was formerly done by port P2 is then achieved by a Special
 Function Register
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sfr}

\end_inset 

.
 In well-established MCS51 tradition the address of this 
\emph on 
sfr
\emph default 
 is where the chip designers decided to put it.
 Needless to say that they didn't agree on a common name either.
 So that the startup code can correctly initialize xdata variables, you
 should define an sfr with the name _XPAGE
\family typewriter 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{\_XPAGE (mcs51)}

\end_inset 


\family default 
 at the appropriate location if the default, port P2, is not used for this.
 Some examples are:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
sfr at 0x92 _XPAGE; /* Cypress EZ-USB family */
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
sfr at 0xaf _XPAGE; /* some Silicon Labs (Cygnal) chips */
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
sfr at 0xaa _XPAGE; /* some Silicon Labs (Cygnal) chips */
\layout Standard

For more exotic implementations further customizations may be needed.
 See section 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:Startup-Code}

\end_inset 

 for other possibilities.
\layout Subsection

Other Features available by SFR
\layout Standard

Some MCS51 variants offer features like Double DPTR
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{DPTR}

\end_inset 

, multiple DPTR, decrementing DPTR, 16x16 Multiply.
 These are currently not used for the MCS51 port.
 If you absolutely need them you can fall back to inline assembly or submit
 a patch to SDCC.

DS400 port
\layout Standard

The DS80C400 microcontroller has a rich set of peripherals.
 In its built-in ROM library it includes functions to access some of the

The Z80 and gbz80 port
\layout Standard

SDCC can target both the Zilog 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Z80}

\end_inset 

 and the Nintendo Gameboy's Z80-like gbz80
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{gbz80 (GameBoy Z80)}

\end_inset 

.
 The Z80 port is passed through the same 
\emph on 
regressions tests
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Regression test}

\end_inset 


\emph default 
 as the MCS51 and DS390 ports, so floating point support, support for long
 variables and bitfield support is fine.
 See mailing lists and forums about interrupt routines.
\layout Standard

As always, the code is the authoritative reference - see z80/ralloc.c and
 z80/gen.c.
 The stack
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{stack}

\end_inset 

 frame is similar to that generated by the IAR Z80 compiler.
 IX is used as the base pointer, HL and IY are used as a temporary registers,
 and BC and DE are available for holding variables.
 Return values
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{return value}

\end_inset 

 for the Z80 port are stored in L (one byte), HL (two bytes), or DEHL (four
 bytes).
 The gbz80 port use the same set of registers for the return values, but
 in a different order of significance: E (one byte), DE (two bytes), or
 HLDE (four bytes).
\layout Section

The HC08 port
\layout Standard

The port to the Motorola HC08
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{HC08}

\end_inset 

 family has been added in October 2003, and is still undergoing some basic
 development.
 The code generator is complete, but the register allocation is still quite
 unoptimized.
 Some of the SDCC's standard C library functions have embedded non-HC08
 inline assembly and so are not yet usable.

The PIC14 port
\layout Standard

The 14bit PIC
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{PIC14}

\end_inset 

 port still requires a major effort from the development community.
 However it can work for very simple code.
\layout Subsection

C code and 14bit PIC code page
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{code page (pic14)}

\end_inset 

 and RAM banks
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{RAM bank (pic14)}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

The linker organizes allocation for the code page and RAM banks.
 It does not have intimate knowledge of the code flow.
 It will put all the code section of a single asm file into a single code
 page.
 In order to make use of multiple code pages, separate asm files must be
 used.
 The compiler treats all functions of a single C file as being in the same
 code page unless it is non static.
 The compiler treats all local variables of a single C file as being in
 the same RAM bank unless it is an extern.
\newline 

\newline 
To get the best follow these guide lines:
\layout Enumerate

make local functions static, as non static functions require code page selection
 overhead.
\layout Enumerate

Make local variables static as extern variables require RAM bank selection
 overhead.
\layout Enumerate

For devices that have multiple code pages it is more efficient to use the
 same number of files as pages, i.e.
 for the 16F877 use 4 separate files and i.e.
 for the 16F874 use 2 separate files.
 This way the linker can put the code for each file into different code
 pages and the compiler can allocate reusable variables more efficiently
 and there's less page selection overhead.
 And as for any 8 bit micro (especially for PIC 14 as they have a very simple
 instruction set) use 'unsigned char' whereever possible instead of 'int'.
\layout Subsection

Creating a device include file 
\layout Standard

For generating a device include file use the support perl script inc2h.pl
 kept in directory support/script.
\layout Subsection

Interrupt code
\layout Standard

For the interrupt function, use the keyword 'interrupt'
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{interrupt}

\end_inset 

 with level number of 0 (PIC14 only has 1 interrupt so this number is only
 there to avoid a syntax error - it ought to be fixed).
 E.g.:

Enviromental Variables
\layout Standard

There is a number of enviromental variables that can be used when running
 SDCC to enable certain optimizations or force a specific program behaviour.
 these variables are primarily for debugging purposes so they can be enabled/dis
abled at will.
\layout Standard

Currently there is only two such variables available:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

OPTIMIZE_BITFIELD_POINTER_GET when this variable exists reading of structure
 bitfields is optimized by directly loading FSR0 with the address of the
 bitfield structure.
 Normally SDCC will cast the bitfield structure to a bitfield pointer and
 then load FSR0.
 This step saves data ram and code space for functions that perform heavy
 use of bitfields.
 (ie.
 80 bytes of code space are saved when compiling malloc.c with this option).
 
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

NO_REG_OPT do not perform pCode registers optimization.
 This should be used for debugging purposes.
 In some where bugs in the pcode optimizer are found, users can benefit
 from temporarily disabling the optimizer until the bug is fixed.

Pragmas
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:PIC16_Pragmas}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

PIC16 port currently supports the following pragmas:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

stack pragma stack forces the code generator to initialize the stack & frame
 pointers at a specific address.
 This is an adhoc solution for cases where no STACK directive is available
 in the linker script or gplink is not instructed to create a stack section.
\newline 
The stack pragma should be used only once in a project.
 Multiple pragmas may result in indeterminate behaviour of the program.
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed false

\layout Standard

The old format (ie.
 #pragma stack 0x5ff) is deprecated and will cause the stack pointer to
 cross page boundaries (or even exceed the available data RAM) and crash
 the program.
 Make sure that stack does not cross page boundaries when using the SMALL
 stack model.
\end_inset 


\newline 
The format is as follows:
\layout LyX-Code

#pragma stack bottom_address [stack_size]
\layout Standard


\emph on 
bottom_address
\emph default 
 is the lower bound of the stack section.
 The stack pointer initially will point at address (bottom_address+stack_size-1).
\layout LyX-Code

Example:
\layout LyX-Code

\layout LyX-Code

/* initializes stack of 100 bytes at RAM address 0x200 */
\layout LyX-Code

#pragma stack 0x200 100
\layout Standard

If the stack_size field is omitted then a stack is created with the default
 size of 64.
 This size might be enough for most programs, but its not enough for operations
 with deep function nesting or excessive stack usage.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

wparam 
\emph on 
This pragma is deprecated.
 Its use will cause a warning message to be issued.
\emph default 

\newline 

\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

code place a function symbol at static FLASH address
\layout LyX-Code

Example:
\layout LyX-Code

\layout LyX-Code

/* place function test_func at 0x4000 */
\layout LyX-Code

#pragma code test_func 0x4000
\layout LyX-Code

\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

library instructs the linker to use a library module.
\newline 
Usage:
\layout LyX-Code

#pragma library module_name
\layout Standard


\emph on 
module_name
\emph default 
 can be any library or object file (including its path).
 Note that there are four reserved keywords which have special meaning.

udata pragma udata instructs the compiler to emit code so that linker will
 place a variable at a specific memory bank
\layout LyX-Code

Example:
\layout LyX-Code

\layout LyX-Code

/* places variable foo at bank2 */
\layout LyX-Code

#pragma udata bank2 foo
\layout LyX-Code

char foo;

Header Files
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:PIC16_Header-Files}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

There is one main header file that can be included to the source files using
 the pic16 port.
 That file is the 
\series bold 
pic18fregs.h
\series default 
.
 This header file contains the definitions for the processor special registers,
 so it is necessary if the source accesses them.
 It can be included by adding the following line in the beginning of the
 file:
\layout LyX-Code

#include <pic18fregs.h>
\layout Standard

The specific microcontroller is selected within the pic18fregs.h automatically,
 so the same source can be used with a variety of devices.
\layout Subsection

Libraries
\layout Standard

The libraries that PIC16
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{PIC16}

\end_inset 

 port depends on are the microcontroller device libraries which contain
 the symbol definitions for the microcontroller special function registers.
 These libraries have the format pic18fxxxx.lib, where 
\emph on 
xxxx
\emph default 
 is the microcontroller identification number.
 The specific library is selected automatically by the compiler at link
 stage according to the selected device.
\layout Standard

Libraries are created with gplib which is part of the gputils package 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/gputils}

\end_inset 

.
\layout Subsubsection*

Building the libraries
\layout Standard

Before using SDCC/pic16 there are some libraries that need to be compiled.
 This process is not done automatically by SDCC since not all users use
 SDCC for pic16 projects.
 So each user should compile the libraries separately.
\layout Standard

The steps to compile the pic16 libraries under Linux are:
\layout LyX-Code

cd device/lib/pic16
\layout LyX-Code

./configure
\layout LyX-Code

make
\layout LyX-Code

cd ..
\layout LyX-Code

make model-pic16
\layout LyX-Code

su -c 'make install'     # install the libraries, you need the root password
\layout Standard

If you need to install the headers too, do:
\layout LyX-Code

cd device/include
\layout LyX-Code

su -c 'make install'     # install the headers, you need the root password
\layout Standard

There exist a special target to build the I/O libraries.
 This target is not automatically build because it will build the I/O library
 for 
\emph on 
every
\emph default 
 supported device.
 This way building will take quite a lot of time.
 Users are advised to edit the 
\series bold 
device/lib/pic16/pics.build
\series default 
 file and then execute:
\layout LyX-Code

make lib-io
\layout Subsection

Memory Models
\layout Standard

The following memory models are supported by the PIC16 port:
\layout Itemize

small model
\layout Itemize

large model
\layout Standard

Memory model affects the default size of pointers within the source.
 The sizes are shown in the next table:

\layout Standard

It is advisable that all sources within a project are compiled with the
 same memory model.
 If one wants to override the default memory model, this can be done by
 declaring a pointer as 
\series bold 
far
\series default 
 or 
\series bold 
near
\series default 
.
 Far selects large memory model's pointers, while near selects small memory
 model's pointers.
\layout Standard

The standard device libraries (see 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sub:PIC16_Header-Files}

\end_inset 

) contain no reference to pointers, so they can be used with both memory
 models.
\layout Subsection

Stack
\layout Standard

The stack implementation for the PIC16 port uses two indirect registers,
 FSR1 and FSR2.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

FSR1 is assigned as stack pointer
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

FSR2 is assigned as frame pointer

\noun on 
Large 
\noun default 
stack model is currently not working properly throughout the code generator.
 So its use is not advised.
 Also there are some other points that need special care:
\newline 

\layout Enumerate

Do not create stack sections with size more than one physical bank (that
 is 256 bytes)
\layout Enumerate

Stack sections should no cross physical bank limits (i.e.
 #pragma stack 0x50 0x100)
\layout Standard

These limitations are caused by the fact that only FSRxL is modified when
 using SMALL stack model, so no more than 256 bytes of stack can be used.
 This problem will disappear after LARGE model is fully implemented.
\layout Subsection

Functions
\layout Standard

In addition to the standard SDCC function keywords, PIC16 port makes available
 two more:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

wparam Use the WREG to pass one byte of the first function argument.
 This improves speed but you may not use this for functions with arguments
 that are called via function pointers, otherwise the first byte of the
 first parameter will get lost.
 Usage:
\layout LyX-Code

void func_wparam(int a) wparam
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

    /* WREG hold the lower part of a */
\layout LyX-Code

    /* the high part of a is stored in FSR2+2 (or +3 for large stack model)
 */
\layout LyX-Code

...
\layout LyX-Code

}
\layout Standard

This keyword replaces the deprecated wparam pragma.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

shadowregs When entering/exiting an ISR, it is possible to take advantage
 of the PIC18F hardware shadow registers which hold the values of WREG,
 STATUS and BSR registers.
 This can be done by adding the keyword 
\emph on 
shadowregs
\emph default 
 before the 
\emph on 
interrupt
\emph default 
 keyword in the function's header.
\layout LyX-Code

void isr_shadow(void) shadowregs interrupt 1
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

...
\layout LyX-Code

}
\layout Standard


\emph on 
shadowregs
\emph default 
 instructs the code generator not to store/restore WREG, STATUS, BSR when
 entering/exiting the ISR.

When generating assembly code for ISR the code generator places a 
\noun on 
goto 
\noun default 
instruction at the 
\emph on 
Interrupt Vector Address
\emph default 
 which points at the genetated ISR.
 This single GOTO instruction is part of an automatically generated 
\emph on 
interrupt entry point
\emph default 
 function.
 The actuall ISR code is placed as normally would in the code space.
 Upon interrupt request, the GOTO instruction is executed which jumps to
 the ISR code.
 When declaring interrupt functions as _naked this GOTO instruction is 
\series bold 
not
\series default 
 generated.
 The whole interrupt functions is therefore placed at the Interrupt Vector
 Address of the specific interrupt.
 This is not a problem for the LOW priority interrupts, but it is a problem
 for the RESET and the HIGH priority interrupts because code may be written
 at the next interrupt´s vector address and cause undeterminate program
 behaviour if that interrupt is raised.

Generic Pointers
\layout Standard

Generic pointers are implemented in PIC16 port as 3-byte (24-bit) types.
 There are 3 types of generic pointers currently implemented data, code
 and eeprom pointers.
 They are differentiated by the value of the 7th and 6th bits of the upper
 byte:

Standard I/O Streams
\layout Standard

In the 
\emph on 
stdio.h
\emph default 
 the type FILE is defined as:
\layout LyX-Code

typedef char * FILE;
\layout Standard

This type is the stream type implemented I/O in the PIC18F devices.
 Also the standard input and output streams are declared in stdio.h:
\layout LyX-Code

extern FILE * stdin;
\layout LyX-Code

extern FILE * stdout;
\layout Standard

The FILE type is actually a generic pointer which defines one more type
 of generic pointers, the 
\emph on 
stream 
\emph default 
pointer.
 This new type has the format:

\layout Standard

The stream identifiers are declared as macros in the stdio.h header.
\layout Standard

In the libc library there exist the functions that are used to write to
 each of the above streams.
 These are
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

_
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

_stream_usart_putchar writes a character at the USART stream
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

_
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

_stream_mssp_putchar writes a character at the MSSP stream
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

putchar dummy function.
 This writes a character to a user specified manner.
\layout Standard

In order to increase performance 
\emph on 
putchar 
\emph default 
is declared in stdio.h as having its parameter in WREG (it has the wparam
 keyword).
 In stdio.h exists the macro PUTCHAR(arg) that defines the putchar function
 in a user-friendly way.
 
\emph on 
arg
\emph default 
 is the name of the variable that holds the character to print.
 An example follows:
\layout LyX-Code

#include <pic18fregs.h>
\newline 
#include <stdio.h>
\newline 

\newline 
PUTCHAR( c )
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

    PORTA = c;    /* dump character c to PORTA */
\layout LyX-Code

} 
\newline 

\newline 
void main(void)
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

    stdout = STREAM_USER;    /* this is not necessery, since stdout points
\layout LyX-Code

                              * by default to STREAM_USER */
\layout LyX-Code

    printf (¨This is a printf test
\backslash 
n¨);
\layout LyX-Code

}
\layout LyX-Code

\layout Subsubsection

Printing functions
\layout Standard

PIC16 contains an implementation of the printf-family of functions.
 There exist the following functions:
\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int sprintf(char *buf, char *fmt, ...);
\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int vsprintf(char *buf, char *fmt, va_list ap);
\layout LyX-Code

\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int printf(char *fmt, ...);
\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int vprintf(char *fmt, va_lista ap);
\layout LyX-Code

\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int fprintf(FILE *fp, char *fmt, ...);
\layout LyX-Code

extern unsigned int vfprintf(FILE *fp, char *fmt, va_list ap);
\layout Standard

For sprintf and vsprintf 
\emph on 
buf 
\emph default 
should normally be a data pointer where the resulting string will be placed.
 No range checking is done so the user should allocate the necessery buffer.
 For fprintf and vfprintf 
\emph on 
fp
\emph default 
 should be a stream pointer (i.e.
 stdout, STREAM_MSSP, etc...).
\layout Subsubsection

The prototypes for these names are defined in the header file 
\emph on 
signal.h
\emph default 
 .
\layout Standard

In order to simplify signal handling, a number of macros is provided:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

DEF_INTHIGH(name) begin the definition of the interrupt dispatch table for
 high priority interrupts.
 
\emph on 
name
\emph default 
 is the function name to use.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

DEF_INTLOW(name) begin the definition of the interrupt dispatch table fo
 low priority interrupt.
 
\emph on 
name
\emph default 
 is the function name to use.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

DEF_HANDLER(sig,handler) define a handler for signal 
\emph on 
sig.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

END_DEF end the declaration of the dispatch table.
\layout Standard

Additionally there are two more macros to simplify the declaration of the
 signal handler:
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000


\series medium 
SIGHANDLER(handler) 
\series default 
this declares the function prototype for the 
\emph on 
handler
\emph default 
 function.
\layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000

SIGHANDLERNAKED(handler) same as SIGHANDLER() but declares a naked function.
\layout Standard

An example of using the macros above is shown below:
\layout LyX-Code

#include <pic18fregs.h>
\layout LyX-Code

#include <signal.h>
\newline 

\newline 
DEF_INTHIGH(high_int)
\layout LyX-Code

DEF_HANDLER(SIG_TMR0, _tmr0_handler)
\layout LyX-Code

DEF_HANDLER(SIG_BCOL, _bcol_handler)
\layout LyX-Code

END_DEF
\newline 

\newline 
SIGHANDLER(_tmr0_handler)
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

  /* action to be taken when timer 0 overflows */
\layout LyX-Code

}
\newline 

\newline 
SIGHANDLERNAKED(_bcol_handler)
\layout LyX-Code

{
\layout LyX-Code

  _asm
\layout LyX-Code

    /* action to be taken when bus collision occurs */
\layout LyX-Code

    retfie
\layout LyX-Code

 _endasm;
\layout LyX-Code

}
\layout Standard


\series bold 
NOTES:
\series default 
 Special care should be taken when using the above scheme:
\layout Itemize

do not place a colon (;) at the end of the DEF_* and END_DEF macros.
\layout Itemize

when declaring SIGHANDLERNAKED handler never forget to use 
\emph on 
retfie
\emph default 
 for proper returning.

PIC16 Port -- Tips
\layout Standard

Here you can find some general tips for compiling programs with SDCC/pic16.
\layout Subsubsection

Stack size
\layout Standard

The default stack size (that is 64 bytes) probably is enough for many programs.
 One must take care that when there are many levels of function nesting,
 or there is excessive usage of stack, its size should be extended.
 An example of such a case is the printf/sprintf family of functions.
 If you encounter problems like not being able to print integers, then you
 need to set the stack size around the maximum (256 for small stack model).
 The following diagram shows what happens when calling printf to print an
 integer:
\layout LyX-Code

printf () --> ltoa () --> ultoa () --> divschar ()
\layout Standard

It is should be understood that stack is easily consumed when calling complicate
d functions.
 Using command line arguments like -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-fommit-frame-pointer might reduce stack usage by not creating unnecessery
 stack frames.
 Other ways to reduce stack usage may exist.

Debugging with SDCDB
\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{cha:Debugging-with-SDCDB}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{sdcdb (debugger)}

\end_inset 

 
\layout Standard

SDCC is distributed with a source level debugger
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Debugger}

\end_inset 

.
 The debugger uses a command line interface, the command repertoire of the
 debugger has been kept as close to gdb
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{gdb}

\end_inset 

 (the GNU debugger) as possible.
 The configuration and build process is part of the standard compiler installati
on, which also builds and installs the debugger in the target directory
 specified during configuration.
 The debugger allows you debug BOTH at the C source and at the ASM source
 level.
 Sdcdb is available on Unix platforms only.
\layout Section

Compiling for Debugging
\layout Standard

The -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-debug
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-debug}

\end_inset 

 option must be specified for all files for which debug information is to
 be generated.
 The complier generates a .adb file for each of these files.
 The linker creates the .cdb
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.cdb}

\end_inset 

 file from the .adb
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{<file>.adb}

\end_inset 

 files and the address information.
 This .cdb is used by the debugger.
\layout Section

How the Debugger Works
\layout Standard

When the -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-debug option is specified the compiler generates extra symbol information
 some of which are put into the assembler source and some are put into the
 .adb file.
  Then the linker creates the .cdb file from the individual .adb files with
 the address information for the symbols.
 The debugger reads the symbolic information generated by the compiler &
 the address information generated by the linker.
 It uses the SIMULATOR (Daniel's S51) to execute the program, the program
 execution is controlled by the debugger.
 When a command is issued for the debugger, it translates it into appropriate
 commands for the simulator.
\layout Section

Starting the Debugger
\layout Standard

The debugger can be started using the following command line.
 (Assume the file you are debugging has the file name foo).
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcdb foo
\newline 

\family default 
\series default 

\newline 
The debugger will look for the following files.
\layout Itemize

foo.c - the source file.
\layout Itemize

foo.cdb - the debugger symbol information file.
\layout Itemize

foo.ihx - the Intel hex format
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Intel hex format}

\end_inset 

 object file.
\layout Section

Command Line Options.
\layout Itemize

-
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-directory=<source file directory> this option can used to specify the directory
 search list.
 The debugger will look into the directory list specified for source, cdb
 & ihx files.
 The items in the directory list must be separated by ':', e.g.
 if the source files can be in the directories /home/src1 and /home/src2,
 the -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-directory option should be -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-directory=/home/src1:/home/src2.
 Note there can be no spaces in the option.
 
\layout Itemize

-cd <directory> - change to the <directory>.
\layout Itemize

-fullname - used by GUI front ends.
\layout Itemize

-cpu <cpu-type> - this argument is passed to the simulator please see the
 simulator docs for details.
\layout Itemize

-X <Clock frequency > this options is passed to the simulator please see
 the simulator docs for details.
\layout Itemize

-s <serial port file> passed to simulator see the simulator docs for details.
\layout Itemize

-S <serial in,out> passed to simulator see the simulator docs for details.
\layout Itemize

-k <port number> passed to simulator see the simulator docs for details.
\layout Section

Debugger Commands.
\layout Standard

As mentioned earlier the command interface for the debugger has been deliberatel
y kept as close the GNU debugger gdb, as possible.
 This will help the integration with existing graphical user interfaces
 (like ddd, xxgdb or xemacs) existing for the GNU debugger.
 If you use a graphical user interface for the debugger you can skip the
 next sections.
\layout Subsubsection*

break [line | file:line | function | file:function]
\layout Standard

Interfacing with XEmacs
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{XEmacs}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Emacs}

\end_inset 

.
\layout Standard

Two files (in emacs lisp) are provided for the interfacing with XEmacs,
 sdcdb.el and sdcdbsrc.el.
 These two files can be found in the $(prefix)/bin directory after the installat
ion is complete.
 These files need to be loaded into XEmacs for the interface to work.
 This can be done at XEmacs startup time by inserting the following into
 your '.xemacs' file (which can be found in your HOME directory): 
\newline 

\newline 

\family typewriter 
(load-file sdcdbsrc.el) 
\family default 

\newline 

\newline 
.xemacs is a lisp file so the () around the command is REQUIRED.
 The files can also be loaded dynamically while XEmacs is running, set the
 environment variable 'EMACSLOADPATH' to the installation bin directory
 (<installdir>/bin), then enter the following command ESC-x load-file sdcdbsrc.
 To start the interface enter the following command: 
\newline 

\newline 

\family sans 
\series bold 
ESC-x sdcdbsrc
\family default 
\series default 

\newline 

\newline 
You will prompted to enter the file name to be debugged.
 
\newline 

\newline 
The command line options that are passed to the simulator directly are bound
 to default values in the file sdcdbsrc.el.
 The variables are listed below, these values maybe changed as required.
\layout Itemize

sdcdbsrc-cpu-type '51
\layout Itemize

sdcdbsrc-frequency '11059200
\layout Itemize

sdcdbsrc-serial nil

TIPS
\layout Standard

Here are a few guidelines that will help the compiler generate more efficient
 code, some of the tips are specific to this compiler others are generally
 good programming practice.
\layout Itemize

Use the smallest data type to represent your data-value.
 If it is known in advance that the value is going to be less than 256 then
 use an 'unsigned char' instead of a 'short' or 'int'.
 Please note, that ANSI C requires both signed and unsigned chars to be
 promoted to 'signed int' before doing any operation.
 This promotion
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{type promotion}

\end_inset 

 can be omitted, if the result is the same.
 The effect of the promotion rules together with the sign-extension is often
 surprising:
\begin_deeper 
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
unsigned char uc = 0xfe;
\newline 
if (uc * uc < 0) /* this is true! */
\newline 
{
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
....
\newline 
}
\layout Standard


\family typewriter 
uc * uc
\family default 
 is evaluated as 
\family typewriter 
(int) uc * (int) uc = (int) 0xfe * (int) 0xfe = (int) 0xfc04 = -1024
\family default 
.
 
\newline 
Another one:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
(unsigned char) -12 / (signed char) -3 = ...
\layout Standard

No, the result is not 4:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
(int) (unsigned char) -12 / (int) (signed char) -3 =
\newline 
(int) (unsigned char) 0xf4 / (int) (signed char) 0xfd =
\newline 
(int) 0x00f4 / (int) 0xfffd =
\newline 
(int) 0x00f4 / (int) 0xfffd =
\newline 
(int) 244 / (int) -3 =
\newline 
(int) -81 = (int) 0xffaf;
\layout Standard

Don't complain, that gcc gives you a different result.
 gcc uses 32 bit ints, while SDCC uses 16 bit ints.
 Therefore the results are different.
\newline 
From 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset 

comp.lang.c FAQ
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset 

:
\layout Quote

If well-defined overflow characteristics are important and negative values
 are not, or if you want to steer clear of sign-extension problems when
 manipulating bits or bytes, use one of the corresponding unsigned types.
 (Beware when mixing signed and unsigned values in expressions, though.)
\newline 
Although character types (especially unsigned char) can be used as "tiny"
 integers, doing so is sometimes more trouble than it's worth, due to unpredicta
ble sign extension and increased code size.
\end_deeper 
\layout Itemize

Use unsigned when it is known in advance that the value is not going to
 be negative.
 This helps especially if you are doing division or multiplication, bit-shifting
 or are using an array index.
\layout Itemize

NEVER jump into a LOOP.
\layout Itemize

Declare the variables to be local
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{local variables}

\end_inset 

 whenever possible, especially loop control variables (induction).
\layout Itemize

Since the compiler does not always do implicit integral promotion, the programme
r should do an explicit cast when integral promotion is required.
\layout Itemize

Reducing the size of division, multiplication & modulus operations can reduce
 code size substantially.
 Take the following code for example.
\begin_deeper 
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
foobar(unsigned int p1, unsigned char ch)
\newline 
{
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
unsigned char ch1 = p1 % ch ;
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
....
\newline 
}
\layout Standard

For the modulus operation the variable ch will be promoted to unsigned int
 first then the modulus operation will be performed (this will lead to a
 call to support routine _moduint()), and the result will be casted to a
 char.
 If the code is changed to 
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
foobar(unsigned int p1, unsigned char ch)
\newline 
{
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
unsigned char ch1 = (unsigned char)p1 % ch ;
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
....
\newline 
}
\layout Standard

It would substantially reduce the code generated (future versions of the
 compiler will be smart enough to detect such optimization opportunities).
\end_deeper

Some Questions
\layout Standard

Some questions answered, some pointers given - it might be time to in turn
 ask 
\emph on 
you
\emph default 
 some questions: 
\layout Itemize

can you solve your project with the selected microcontroller? Would you
 find out early or rather late that your target is too small/slow/whatever?
 Can you switch to a slightly better device if it doesn't fit?
\layout Itemize

should you solve the problem with an 8 bit CPU? Or would a 16/32 bit CPU
 and/or another programming language be more adequate? Would an operating
 system on the target device help?
\layout Itemize

if you solved the problem, will the marketing department be happy?
\layout Itemize

if the marketing department is happy, will customers be happy?
\layout Itemize

if you're the project manager, marketing department and maybe even the customer
 in one person, have you tried to see the project from the outside?
\layout Itemize

is the project done if you think it is done? Or is just that other interface/pro
tocol/feature/configuration/option missing? How about website, manual(s),
 internationali(z|s)ation, packaging, labels, 2nd source for components,
 electromagnetic compatability/interference, documentation for production,
 production test software, update mechanism, patent issues?
\layout Itemize

is your project adequately positioned in that magic triangle: fame, fortune,
 fun?
\layout Standard

Maybe not all answers to these questions are known and some answers may
 even be 
\emph on 
no

Support
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Support}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

SDCC has grown to be a large project.
 The compiler alone (without the preprocessor, assembler and linker) is
 well over 100,000 lines of code (blank stripped).
 The open source nature of this project is a key to its continued growth
 and support.
 You gain the benefit and support of many active software developers and
 end users.
 Is SDCC perfect? No, that's why we need your help.
 The developers take pride in fixing reported bugs.
 You can help by reporting the bugs and helping other SDCC users.
 There are lots of ways to contribute, and we encourage you to take part
 in making SDCC a great software package.
 
\layout Standard

The SDCC project is hosted on the SDCC sourceforge site at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \htmlurl{http://sourceforge.net/projects/sdcc}

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Reporting bugs}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

The recommended way of reporting bugs is using the infrastructure of the
 sourceforge site.
 You can follow the status of bug reports there and have an overview about
 the known bugs.
\layout Standard

Bug reports are automatically forwarded to the developer mailing list and
 will be fixed ASAP.
 When reporting a bug, it is very useful to include a small test program
 (the smaller the better) which reproduces the problem.
 If you can isolate the problem by looking at the generated assembly code,
 this can be very helpful.
 Compiling your program with the -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-dumpall
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{-\/-dumpall}

\end_inset 

 option can sometimes be useful in locating optimization problems.
 When reporting a bug please maker sure you:
\layout Enumerate

Attach the code you are compiling with SDCC.
 
\layout Enumerate

Specify the exact command you use to run SDCC, or attach your Makefile.
 
\layout Enumerate

Specify the SDCC version (type "
\family sans 
\series bold 
sdcc -v
\family default 
\series default 
"), your platform, and operating system.
 
\layout Enumerate

Provide an exact copy of any error message or incorrect output.
 
\layout Enumerate

Put something meaningful in the subject of your message.
\layout Standard

Please attempt to include these 5 important parts, as applicable, in all
 requests for support or when reporting any problems or bugs with SDCC.
 Though this will make your message lengthy, it will greatly improve your
 chance that SDCC users and developers will be able to help you.
 Some SDCC developers are frustrated by bug reports without code provided
 that they can use to reproduce and ultimately fix the problem, so please
 be sure to provide sample code if you are reporting a bug! 
\layout Standard

Please have a short check that you are using a recent version of SDCC and
 the bug is not yet known.

Historically there often were long delays between official releases and
 the sourceforge download area tends to get not updated at all.
 Excuses in the past might have referred to problems with live range analysis,
 but as this was fixed a while ago, the current problem is that another
 excuse has to be found.
 Kidding aside, we have to get better there! On the other hand there are
 daily snapshots available at 
\begin_inset LatexCommand \htmlurl[snap]{http://sdcc.sourceforge.net/snap.php}

\layout Comment

I did insert a reference to Paul's web site here although it seems rather
 dedicated to a specific 8032 board (I think it's okay because it f.e.
 shows LCD/Harddisc interface and has a free 8051 monitor.
 Independent 8032 board vendors face hard competition of heavily subsidized
 development boards anyway).
\layout Comment

Maybe we should include some links to real world applications.
 Preferably pointer to pointers (one for each architecture) so this stays
 manageable here?

Loop Optimizations
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Loop optimization}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \label{sub:Loop-Optimizations}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Two types of loop optimizations are done by SDCC 
\emph on 
loop invariant
\emph default 
 lifting and
\emph on 
 strength reduction
\emph default 
 of loop induction variables.
 In addition to the strength reduction the optimizer marks the induction
 variables and the register allocator tries to keep the induction variables
 in registers for the duration of the loop.
 Because of this preference of the register allocator
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Register allocation}

\end_inset 

, loop induction optimization causes an increase in register pressure, which
 may cause unwanted spilling of other temporary variables into the stack
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{stack}

\end_inset 

 / data space.
 The compiler will generate a warning message when it is forced to allocate
 extra space either on the stack or data space.
 If this extra space allocation is undesirable then induction optimization
 can be eliminated either for the entire source file (with -

Loop Reversing
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Loop reversing}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

This optimization is done to reduce the overhead of checking loop boundaries
 for every iteration.
 Some simple loops can be reversed and implemented using a 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

decrement and jump if not zero
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 instruction.
 SDCC checks for the following criterion to determine if a loop is reversible
 (note: more sophisticated compilers use data-dependency analysis to make
 this determination, SDCC uses a more simple minded analysis).
\layout Itemize

The 'for' loop is of the form 
\newline

 It makes the decision based on an estimate of the generated code size.
 SDCC is quite liberal in the requirements for jump table generation:

Both the above switch statements will be implemented using a jump-table.
 The example to the right side is slightly more efficient as the check for
 the lower boundary of the jump-table is not needed.
\end_deeper 
\layout Itemize

The number of case labels is not larger than supported by the target architectur
e.

If the case labels are not in numerical sequence ('gaps' between cases)
 SDCC checks whether a jump table with additionally inserted dummy cases
 is still attractive.
 
\layout Itemize

If the starting number is not zero and a check for the lower boundary of
 the jump-table can thus be eliminated SDCC might insert dummy cases 0,
 ...
 .
\layout Standard

Switch statements which have large gaps in the numeric sequence or those
 that have too many case labels can be split into more than one switch statement
 for efficient code generation, e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter

If the above switch statement is broken down into two switch statements
\layout Verse


\family typewriter

and
\layout Verse


\family typewriter

\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
case 107: ...
 
\newline 
}
\layout Standard

then both the switch statements will be implemented using jump-tables whereas
 the unmodified switch statement will not be.
\layout Comment

There might be reasons which SDCC cannot know about to either favour or
 not favour jump tables.
 If the target system has to be as quick for the last switch case as for
 the first (pro jump table), or if the switch argument is known to be zero
 in the majority of the cases (contra jump table).
\layout Standard

The pragma nojtbound

 It has no effect if a default label is supplied.
 Use of this pragma is dangerous: if the switch

 jump into Nirvana.
\layout Subsection

Bit-shifting Operations
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Bit shifting}

\end_inset 

.
\layout Standard

Bit shifting is one of the most frequently used operation in embedded programmin
g.
 SDCC tries to implement bit-shift operations in the most efficient way
 possible, e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
unsigned char i;
\newline 
...
 
\newline 
i >>= 4; 
\newline 
...
\layout Standard

generates the following code:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
mov\SpecialChar ~
 a,_i 
\newline 
swap a 
\newline 
anl\SpecialChar ~
 a,#0x0f 
\newline 
mov\SpecialChar ~
 _i,a
\layout Standard

In general SDCC will never setup a loop if the shift count is known.
 Another example:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
unsigned int i; 
\newline 
...
 
\newline 
i >>= 9; 
\newline 
...
\layout Standard

will generate:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
mov\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
a,(_i + 1) 
\newline 
mov\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
(_i + 1),#0x00

\layout Subsection

Bit-rotation
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Bit rotation}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

A special case of the bit-shift operation is bit rotation
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{rotating bits}

\end_inset 

, SDCC recognizes the following expression to be a left bit-rotation:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
\series bold 
unsigned
\series default 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
char i;\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
/* unsigned is needed for rotation */ 
\newline 
...
 
\newline 
i = ((i << 1) | (i >> 7)); 
\family default 

\newline 

\family typewriter 
...
\layout Standard

will generate the following code:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
mov\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
a,_i 
\newline 
rl\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
a 
\newline 
mov\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
_i,a
\layout Standard

SDCC uses pattern matching on the parse tree to determine this operation.Variatio
ns of this case will also be recognized as bit-rotation, i.e.: 
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
i = ((i >> 7) | (i << 1)); /* left-bit rotation */
\layout Subsection

Nibble and Byte Swapping
\layout Standard

Other special cases of the bit-shift operations are nibble or byte swapping
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{swapping nibbles/bytes}

\end_inset 

, SDCC recognizes the following expressions:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
\series bold 
unsigned
\series default 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
char i; 
\newline 

\series bold 
unsigned
\series default 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
int j; 
\newline 
...
 
\newline 
i = ((i << 4) | (i >> 4)); 
\family default 

\newline 

\family typewriter 
j = ((j << 8) | (j >> 8)); 
\layout Standard

and generates a swap instruction for the nibble swapping
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Nibble swapping}

\end_inset 

 or move instructions for the byte swapping
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Byte swapping}

\end_inset 

.
 The 
\begin_inset Quotes sld
\end_inset 

j
\begin_inset Quotes srd
\end_inset 

 example can be used to convert from little to big-endian or vice versa.
 If you want to change the endianness of a 
\emph on 
signed
\emph default 
 integer you have to cast to 
\family typewriter 
(unsigned int)
\family default 
 first.
\layout Standard

Note that SDCC stores numbers in little-endian
\begin_inset Foot
collapsed false

\layout Standard

Usually 8-bit processors don't care much about endianness.
 This is not the case for the standard 8051 which only has an instruction
 to increment its 
\emph on 
dptr
\emph default 

\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{DPTR}

\end_inset 

-datapointer
\emph on 
 
\emph default 
so little-endian is the more efficient byte order.
\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{little-endian}

\end_inset 


\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Endianness}

\end_inset 

 format (i.e.
 lowest order first).
\layout Subsection

Highest Order Bit
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Highest Order Bit}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

It is frequently required to obtain the highest order bit of an integral
 type (long, int, short or char types).
 SDCC recognizes the following expression to yield the highest order bit
 and generates optimized code for it, e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
unsigned int gint; 
\newline 

\newline 
foo () { 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~

Variations of this case however will

 be recognized.
 It is a standard C expression, so I heartily recommend this be the only
 way to get the highest order bit, (it is portable).
 Of course it will be recognized even if it is embedded in other expressions,
 e.g.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
xyz = gint + ((gint >> 15) & 1);

will still be recognized.

The

 can also be used as an assembly level macro expander.
 The rules themselves are MCU dependent whereas the rule language infra-structur
e is MCU independent.
 Peephole optimization rules for other MCU can be easily programmed using
 the rule language.
\newline 

\newline 
The syntax for a rule is as follows:
\layout Verse

<assembly sequence> := assembly instruction (each instruction including

\newline 

\newline 
The optimizer will apply to the rules one by one from the top in the sequence
 of their appearance, it will terminate when all rules are exhausted.
 If the 'restart' option is specified, then the optimizer will start matching
 the rules again from the top, this option for a rule is expensive (performance)
, it is intended to be used in situations where a transformation will trigger
 the same rule again.
 An example of this (not a good one, it has side effects) is the following
 rule:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
replace restart { 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
pop %1 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
push %1 } by { 
\newline 
\SpecialChar ~
\SpecialChar ~
; nop 
\newline 
}
\layout Standard

Note that the replace pattern cannot be a blank, but can be a comment line.
 Without the 'restart' option only the innermost 'pop' 'push' pair would
 be eliminated, i.e.:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
pop ar1 
\newline 
pop ar2 
\newline 
push ar2 
\newline 
push ar1
\layout Standard

would result in:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
pop ar1 
\newline 
; nop 
\newline 
push ar1
\layout Standard


\emph on 
with
\emph default 
 the restart option the rule will be applied again to the resulting code
 and then all the pop-push pairs will be eliminated to yield:
\layout Verse


\family typewriter 
; nop 
\newline 
; nop
\layout Standard

A conditional function can be attached to a rule.
 Attaching rules are somewhat more involved, let me illustrate this with
 an example.
\layout Verse

} if labelInRange
\layout Standard

The optimizer does a look-up of a function name table defined in function
 
\emph on 
callFuncByName
\emph default 
 in the source file SDCCpeeph.c, with the name 
\emph on 
labelInRange
\emph default 
.
 If it finds a corresponding entry the function is called.
 Note there can be no parameters specified for these functions, in this
 case the use of 
\emph on 
%5
\emph default 
 is crucial, since the function 
\emph on 
labelInRange
\emph default 
 expects to find the label in that particular variable (the hash table containin
g the variable bindings is passed as a parameter).
 If you want to code more such functions, take a close look at the function
 labelInRange and the calling mechanism in source file SDCCpeeph.c.
 Currently implemented are 
\emph on 
labelInRange, labelRefCount, labelIsReturnOnly, operandsNotSame, xramMovcOption,
 24bitMode, portIsDS390, 24bitModeAndPortDS390 
\emph default

Cyclomatic Complexity
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Cyclomatic complexity}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Cyclomatic complexity of a function is defined as the number of independent
 paths the program can take during execution of the function.
 This is an important number since it defines the number test cases you
 have to generate to validate the function.
 The accepted industry standard for complexity number is 10, if the cyclomatic
 complexity reported by SDCC exceeds 10 you should think about simplification
 of the function logic.
 Note that the complexity level is not related to the number of lines of
 code in a function.
 Large functions can have low complexity, and small functions can have large
 complexity levels.
 
\newline 

\newline 
SDCC uses the following formula to compute the complexity:
\newline 

\layout Standard

complexity = (number of edges in control flow graph) - (number of nodes
 in control flow graph) + 2;
\newline 

\newline 
Having said that the industry standard is 10, you should be aware that in
 some cases it be may unavoidable to have a complexity level of less than
 10.
 For example if you have switch statement with more than 10 case labels,
 each case label adds one to the complexity level.
 The complexity level is by no means an absolute measure of the algorithmic
 complexity of the function, it does however provide a good starting point
 for which functions you might look at for further optimization.
\layout Section

Retargetting for other Processors
\layout Standard

The issues for retargetting the compiler are far too numerous to be covered
 by this document.
 What follows is a brief description of each of the seven phases of the
 compiler and its MCU dependency.
\layout Itemize

Parsing the source and building the annotated parse tree.
 This phase is largely MCU independent (except for the language extensions).
 Syntax & semantic checks are also done in this phase, along with some initial
 optimizations like back patching labels and the pattern matching optimizations
 like bit-rotation etc.
\layout Itemize

The second phase involves generating an intermediate code which can be easy
 manipulated during the later phases.
 This phase is entirely MCU independent.
 The intermediate code generation assumes the target machine has unlimited
 number of registers, and designates them with the name iTemp.
 The compiler can be made to dump a human readable form of the code generated
 by using the -
\begin_inset ERT
status Collapsed

\layout Standard

\backslash 
/
\end_inset 

-dumpraw option.
\layout Itemize

This phase does the bulk of the standard optimizations and is also MCU independe
nt.
 This phase can be broken down into several sub-phases:
\newline 

\newline 
Break down intermediate code (iCode) into basic blocks.
\newline 
Do control flow & data flow analysis on the basic blocks.
\newline 
Do local common subexpression elimination, then global subexpression elimination
\newline 
Dead code elimination
\newline 
Loop optimizations
\newline 
If loop optimizations caused any changes then do 'global subexpression eliminati
on' and 'dead code elimination' again.
\layout Itemize

This phase determines the live-ranges; by live range I mean those iTemp
 variables defined by the compiler that still survive after all the optimization
s.
 Live range analysis
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Live range analysis}

\end_inset 

 is essential for register allocation, since these computation determines
 which of these iTemps will be assigned to registers, and for how long.
\layout Itemize

Phase five is register allocation.
 There are two parts to this process.
\newline 

\newline 
The first part I call 'register packing' (for lack of a better term).
 In this case several MCU specific expression folding is done to reduce
 register pressure.
\newline 

\newline 
The second part is more MCU independent and deals with allocating registers
 to the remaining live ranges.
 A lot of MCU specific code does creep into this phase because of the limited
 number of index registers available in the 8051.
\layout Itemize

The Code generation phase is (unhappily), entirely MCU dependent and very
 little (if any at all) of this code can be reused for other MCU.
 However the scheme for allocating a homogenized assembler operand for each
 iCode operand may be reused.
\layout Itemize

As mentioned in the optimization section the peep-hole optimizer is rule
 based system, which can reprogrammed for other MCUs.

\newline 
The current version of SDCC can generate code for Intel 8051 and Z80 MCU.
 It is fairly easy to retarget for other 8-bit MCU.
 Here we take a look at some of the internals of the compiler.
 
\layout Paragraph*

Parsing
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Parsing}

\end_inset 

 
\layout Standard

Parsing the input source file and creating an AST (Annotated Syntax Tree
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Annotated syntax tree}

\end_inset 

).
 This phase also involves propagating types (annotating each node of the
 parse tree with type information) and semantic analysis.
 There are some MCU specific parsing rules.
 For example the storage classes, the extended storage classes are MCU specific
 while there may be a xdata storage class for 8051 there is no such storage
 class for z80 or Atmel AVR.
 SDCC allows MCU specific storage class extensions, i.e.
 xdata will be treated as a storage class specifier when parsing 8051 C
 code but will be treated as a C identifier when parsing z80 or ATMEL AVR
 C code.
\layout Paragraph*

Generating iCode
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{iCode}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

Intermediate code generation.
 In this phase the AST is broken down into three-operand form (iCode).
 These three operand forms are represented as doubly linked lists.
 ICode is the term given to the intermediate form generated by the compiler.
 ICode example section shows some examples of iCode generated for some simple
 C source functions.
\layout Paragraph*

Optimizations
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Optimizations}

\end_inset 

.
\layout Standard

Bulk of the target independent optimizations is performed in this phase.
 The optimizations include constant propagation, common sub-expression eliminati
on, loop invariant code movement, strength reduction of loop induction variables
 and dead-code elimination.
\layout Paragraph*

Live range analysis
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Live range analysis}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

During intermediate code generation phase, the compiler assumes the target
 machine has infinite number of registers and generates a lot of temporary
 variables.
 The live range computation determines the lifetime of each of these compiler-ge
nerated temporaries.
 A picture speaks a thousand words.
 ICode example sections show the live range annotations for each of the
 operand.
 It is important to note here, each iCode is assigned a number in the order
 of its execution in the function.
 The live ranges are computed in terms of these numbers.
 The from number is the number of the iCode which first defines the operand
 and the to number signifies the iCode which uses this operand last.
\layout Paragraph*

Register Allocation
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Register allocation}

\end_inset 


\layout Standard

The register allocation determines the type and number of registers needed
 by each operand.
 In most MCUs only a few registers can be used for indirect addressing.
 In case of 8051 for example the registers R0 & R1 can be used to indirectly
 address the internal ram and DPTR to indirectly address the external ram.
 The compiler will try to allocate the appropriate register to pointer variables
 if it can.
 ICode example section shows the operands annotated with the registers assigned
 to them.
 The compiler will try to keep operands in registers as much as possible;
 there are several schemes the compiler uses to do achieve this.
 When the compiler runs out of registers the compiler will check to see
 if there are any live operands which is not used or defined in the current
 basic block being processed, if there are any found then it will push that
 operand and use the registers in this block, the operand will then be popped
 at the end of the basic block.
 
\layout Standard

There are other MCU specific considerations in this phase.
 Some MCUs have an accumulator; very short-lived operands could be assigned
 to the accumulator instead of a general-purpose register.
\layout Paragraph*

Code generation
\layout Standard

Figure II gives a table of iCode operations supported by the compiler.
 The code generation involves translating these operations into corresponding
 assembly code for the processor.
 This sounds overly simple but that is the essence of code generation.
 Some of the iCode operations are generated on a MCU specific manner for
 example, the z80 port does not use registers to pass parameters so the
 SEND and RECV iCode operations will not be generated, and it also does
 not support JUMPTABLES.

In addition to the operands each iCode contains information about the filename
 and line it corresponds to in the source file.
 The first field in the listing should be interpreted as follows:
\newline 

\shape italic 
\size footnotesize 
Filename(linenumber: iCode Execution sequence number : ICode hash table
 key : loop depth of the iCode).
\shape default 
\size default 

\newline 
Then follows the human readable form of the ICode operation.
 Each operand of this triplet form can be of three basic types a) compiler
 generated temporary b) user defined variable c) a constant value.
 Note that local variables and parameters are replaced by compiler generated
 temporaries.
 Live ranges
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Live range analysis}

\end_inset 

 are computed only for temporaries (i.e.
 live ranges are not computed for global variables).
 Registers
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Register allocation}

\end_inset 

 are allocated for temporaries only.
 Operands are formatted in the following manner:
\newline 

\shape italic 
\size footnotesize 
Operand Name [lr live-from : live-to ] { type information } [ registers
 allocated ].
\shape default 
\size default 

\newline 
As mentioned earlier the live ranges are computed in terms of the execution
 sequence number of the iCodes, for example 
\newline 
the iTemp0 is live from (i.e.
 first defined in iCode with execution sequence number 3, and is last used
 in the iCode with sequence number 5).
 For induction variables such as iTemp21 the live range computation extends
 the lifetime from the start to the end of the loop.
\newline 
The register allocator used the live range information to allocate registers,
 the same registers may be used for different temporaries if their live
 ranges do not overlap, for example r0 is allocated to both iTemp6 and to
 iTemp17 since their live ranges do not overlap.
 In addition the allocator also takes into consideration the type and usage
 of a temporary, for example itemp6 is a pointer to near space and is used
 as to fetch data from (i.e.
 used in GET_VALUE_AT_ADDRESS) so it is allocated a pointer register (r0).
 Some short lived temporaries are allocated to special registers which have
 meaning to the code generator e.g.
 iTemp13 is allocated to a pseudo register CC which tells the back end that
 the temporary is used only for a conditional jump the code generation makes
 use of this information to optimize a compare and jump ICode.
\newline 
There are several loop optimizations
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Loop optimization}

\end_inset 

 performed by the compiler.
 It can detect induction variables iTemp21(i) and iTemp23(j).
 Also note the compiler does selective strength reduction
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Strength reduction}

\end_inset 

, i.e.
 the multiplication of an induction variable in line 18 (gint = j * 3) is
 changed to addition, a new temporary iTemp17 is allocated and assigned
 a initial value, a constant 3 is then added for each iteration of the loop.
 The compiler does not change the multiplication
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Multiplication}

\end_inset 

 in line 17 however since the processor does support an 8 * 8 bit multiplication.
\newline 
Note the dead code elimination
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Dead-code elimination}

\end_inset 

 optimization eliminated the dead assignments in line 7 & 8 to I and sum
 respectively.
