Const code/data array in flash. How work with it and switch off optimization?

[Petr2023]

Hi,
Please help )
Any directives to switch off optimization?
const's and func1() eliminated if no direct access to it.
I want access indirect to const's and func's
How organize const's to array or other structure?

const menu123 as item_t[2]=(menu,menu1)
Didn't work

Code: Select all

program Pointers

' Declarations section
typedef func_t as sub procedure
DIM aa as BYTE volatile

Sub Procedure func1()
    aa=0
End Sub

dim MyPtr as ^func_t

structure item_t
   dim  name as char[4]
   dim  mm as word
   dim func as word
end structure

const menu as item_t = ("123"+"a",1,@func1)   code
const menu1 as item_t = ("234"+"b",2,@func1)  code
const menu2 as item_t = ("345"+"c",3,@func1)  code
const submenu1 as item_t = ("sub"+"d",4,@func1) code

main:
'   Main program

'    Z=@menu
'    Z=@submenu1

end.

Each const - line with fixed width (bytes)
I want to get first line adress
Z=@menu
and then access to other lines indirect
Z=Z+8
But compiler eliminate other const's

The array is not so necessary. The compiler arranges one after the other.
But how to stop throwing out constants?

Guys, this is time killing software

dim MyPtr as ^func_t - not needed GREATE!!!
Wrap to ... wrap to .. wrap to ... like in "C" not needed GREATE!!!
= it can be small and fast like ASM

But a little peice of problem:

Is there any compiler directive?

For example:

Code: Select all

#DONTTOUCHITMOFO
const menu as item_t = ("123"+"¿",1,@func1)   code
const menu1 as item_t = ("234"+"¿",1,@func1)  code
const menu2 as item_t = ("345"+"¿",1,@func1)  code
const submenu1 as item_t = ("sub"+"¿",1,@func1) code
#DONTTOUCHITMOFO END

I found a solution for functions, but for const's ...

Use the SetFuncCall directive within routine body to instruct the linker which routines can be called indirectly from that routine :
SetFunCCall (called_func[, ,...])

Volatile - no effect
External - compile error

HEEEELP

So far I have found only these methods:
1. Declare array
Dim menu123 as item_t[2]
and then touch each item
menu123[0]=menu
But it generates huge code and duplicate data

2. Touch adress
Dim a as byte rx
a=@menu
....
a=@submenu1
SetFunCCall(func1)

If there is no other way, then it is very bad (very ugly code and duplicate entries + 4 bytes for each line menu)

Hmm...
Re-enable optimization (level Four) and compiler eliminate "touch"-code.
This is good, but some directive is needed for this (#DIRECTIVE).
Because it's bad to keep and show this garbage in main

Code: Select all

main:
a=@menu1
.........
...........
........
a=menu50
SetFunCCall(func1,func2, ........................................................................................func50)

Guys, please make an edit especially for me with this directive

Code: Select all

#DONTTOUCHITMOFO
const menu as item_t = ("123"+"¿",1,@func1)   code
const menu1 as item_t = ("234"+"¿",1,@func1)  code
const menu2 as item_t = ("345"+"¿",1,@func1)  code
const submenu1 as item_t = ("sub"+"¿",1,@func1) code
#DONTTOUCHITMOFOEND

Thank You

Hi,

The optimization can be switched off only in the IDE, not in the code.

Have you been able to sort out this issue ?

I don't know how to do it.
Level: Zero and unchecked SSA - not work.

optimization.png (6.84 KiB) Viewed 795 times

And the file size increases significantly.
Therefore, I would like to keep the optimization and turn it off only in some sections.
But i can't find any directive to do it

filip
Do you have corrected and supplemented documentation?

Tnx

Hmmm....
Logic of MicroE

IF forum_question > 0 THEN
wait(is_user_prod_uninst)
else
IF forum_question > 1 THEN
wait(is_user_died)
END IF
END IF

But, where is profit? (no users ->no questions?)

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed answer. The optimization can be switched off only for entire code/project, not in sections.

Filip.
