-In the above example the variable chksum will located at 0x7ffe and 0x7fff

- The compiler does not actually 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{.lst}
+Normally SDCC will only use the first bank
+\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{register bank (mcs51, ds390)}

+ By default, the compiler will place the stack after the last byte of allocated

+ 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

+ 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 after
+ the byte holding the last bit variable.
+ For example, if register banks 0 and 1 are used, and there are 9 bit variables

-The above example will allocate the variable at offset 0x02 in the bit-addressab

- There is no real advantage to assigning absolute addresses to variables

- 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

+Small and Large

+\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
-In other words inline assembly code can access labels defined in inline

TIPS
\layout Standard
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
+ supprising:
+\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.

-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}
-
-\end_inset
-
-).
- Furthermore, some chips may have some built in external memory (
-\emph on
-xdata
-\emph default
-
-\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{xdata}
-
-\end_inset
-
-) which should not be confused with the internal, directly addressable RAM
- memory (
-\emph on
-data
-\emph default
-
-\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{data}
-
-\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).
-\layout Standard
-
-Normally SDCC will only use the first bank
-\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{bank}
-
-\end_inset
-
- of registers (register bank 0), but it is possible to specify that other
- banks of registers should be used in interrupt
-\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
+....
+\newline
+}
+\layout Standard
- 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 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 at address 0x22.

-The 8051 linker generates two files with memory allocation information.
- The first, with extension .map shows all the variables and segments.
- The second with extension .mem shows the final memory layout.
- The linker will complaint 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
