+The pragma's are intended to be used to turn-on or off certain optimizations
+ which might cause the compiler to generate extra stack / data space to
+ store compiler generated temporary variables.
+ This usually happens in large functions.
+ Pragma directives should be used as shown in the following example, they

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

+ The Z80 port is passed through the same

+\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

+ 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'.

+Interrupt code
+\layout Standard
+
+For the interrupt function, use the keyword 'interrupt'

+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.
+\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 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 one byte of the first
+ parameter will get lost.
+ This pragma should be placed in the header file to propagate the calling
+ convention to all callers.
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+#pragma wparam function1[, function2, ...]
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+Example:
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+/* pass one byte via stack and one byte via WREG */
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+#pragma wparam foo
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+void foo(int x);
+\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 List
+\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
+
+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;
+\layout Standard
+
+In order for this pragma to work extra SECTION directives should be added
+ in the .lkr script.
+ In the following example a sample .lkr file is shown:

+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://gputils.sourceforge.net}
+
+\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 to, do:
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+cd device/include
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+su -c 'make install' # install the headers, you need the root password
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+\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.

+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}
+

+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.

+
+When the -

+
+\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.

+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 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).

+Some questions answered, some pointers given - it might be time to in turn

+\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
+\emph default
+, nevertheless knowing these questions may help you to avoid burnout

+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}
+
+\end_inset
+
+.
+ You'll find the complete set of mailing lists

+
+\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

+
+\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.
+ This is the link for reporting bugs:

+\end_inset

+\layout Standard
+
+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}
+
+\end_inset
+
+, and you can always build the very last version (hopefully with many bugs
+ fixed, and features added) from the source code available at

+\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?

+ In addition to the strength reduction the optimizer marks the induction

+ Because of this preference of the register allocator
+\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Register allocation}

+, loop induction optimization causes an increase in register pressure, which
