KVA_to_PA function

[Dany]

Hi, I noticed a problem with the KVA_to_PA function (mP v3.5.0; P32MX534F064H):

This call gives a compiler error "constant expected),

Code: Select all

DWrd := KVA_to_PA(@BDT);

while this one is accepted ($A0000000 being the address of "BDT").

Code: Select all

Dwrd := KVA_to_PA($A0000000);

The variable definitions are:

Code: Select all

Type TBD = record
             ByteCount: word;
             Stat: byte;
             Res1: byte;
             Addr: DWord;
           end;

const NrOfEndPoints = 4;

var BDT: array[NrOfEndPoints] of TBD; absolute $A0000000; volatile;

var DWrd: DWord; volatile;

In my opinion the expression "@BDT" is also a "constant" and the statement should not be flagged as erroneous.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I will certainly consult my colleagues from Software Department regarding this error message.
Thank you for pointing on this behavior/error message.

Best regards,

Hi, it would be nice also to fave functions (KVA_TO_PA and PA_TO_KVA1) that have a non constant value as parameter, but a variable value.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I pass this suggestions and also behavior which you previously mentioned to our software developers
and they will certainly try to implement them as soon as possible.

Best regards,
Marina
