Is this code really kosher ???
PostPosted: Wed Sep 30, 2015 10:16 am     Reply with quote

what am i seeing here?
compiled with 5.042
* in spite of the int1 function typing both functions seems to return a byte
* line 174, 176 and 15E,160 are confusing too --A branch following a branch but no earlier "refer" to the implied GOTO lines ?


Code:

.................... unsigned int8 iscomplex(void){
....................    IF (OUTMODE&0B00001100) return(1);
*
0016A:  MOVF   xA7,W
0016C:  ANDLW  0C
0016E:  BZ    0178
00170:  MOVLW  01
00172:  MOVWF  01
00174:  BRA    017C
00176:  BRA    017C
....................    else return(0);
00178:  MOVLW  00
0017A:  MOVWF  01
0017C:  GOTO   018A (RETURN)
.................... }
.................... 
.................... int1 iscomplex2(void){
....................    IF (OUTMODE&0B00001100) return(1);
*
00154:  MOVF   xA7,W
00156:  ANDLW  0C
00158:  BZ    0162
0015A:  MOVLW  01
0015C:  MOVWF  01
0015E:  BRA    0166
00160:  BRA    0166
....................    else return(0);
00162:  MOVLW  00
00164:  MOVWF  01
00166:  GOTO   0182 (RETURN)
.................... }

Simple answer is, 'how can a function return less than a byte'?.

However, if you then use the byte in a function outside, involving a logic test for example, the int8 version will be be cast to an int1 before use, while the int1 version is already implicitly one.

int1's are smaller used as flags for example where they are not 'returned', but as a returned type, an int8 still has to be used to contain them.
