+If the source files are compiled using --debug, 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.

-\layout Itemize
+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
-info break - list all breakpoints
-\layout Itemize
+\newline
+To get the best follow these guide lines:
+\layout Enumerate
-info stack - show the function call stack.
-\layout Itemize
+make local functions static, as non static functions require code page selection
+ overhead.
+\layout Enumerate
-info frame - show information about the current execution frame.
-\layout Itemize
+Make local variables static as extern variables require RAM bank selection
+ overhead.
+\layout Enumerate
-info registers - show content of all registers.
-\layout Subsubsection*
+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'.

+
+Pragmas
+\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 since gplink does not support yet stack.
+ When the gplink issue is resolved the pragma will be deprecated
+\begin_inset Foot
+collapsed true
+
+\layout Standard
+
+
+\emph on
+It is important to initialize the stack, otherwise strange things can happen.
+ Stack is not initialized by default because there are some sources that
+ do not require it.
+ (like library sources)
+\end_inset
+
+.
+\newline
+The stack pragma should be used only once in a project.
+ Multiple pragmas may result in indeterminate behaviour of the program.
+\newline
+If you omit setting the pragma the port emits a warning message before linking.
+ If not initializing the stack is desired ignore the message.
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+Example:
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+/* initializes stack at RAM address 0x5ff*/
+\layout LyX-Code
+
+#pragma stack 0x5ff
+\layout LyX-Code

+
+Header Files
+\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 necessery if the soruce 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 port depends on are the microcontroller device
+ libraries which contain the symbol definitions for the microcontroller
+ special function registers.

+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.

+
+The standard device libraries (see 4.5.6) contain no reference to pointers,
+ so they can be used with both memory models.

+
+ (the GNU debugger) as possible.
+ The configuration and build process is part of the standard compiler installati

+ level.
+ Sdcdb is available on Unix platforms only.

+Compiling for Debugging
+\layout Standard
+
+The \SpecialChar \-

+ The complier generates a .adb file for each of these files.

+
+\end_inset

+\layout Standard
+
+When the -
+\begin_inset ERT

+
+\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.

Use unsigned when it is known in advance that the value is not going to
be negative.

-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, 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{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
-
- 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 sourceforge download area tends to get not updated at all.
