Help needed: int or int8 doesn't compare < 0 correctly?
PostPosted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 9:02 pm     Reply with quote

I am desperately seeking help for the code below using PCM 3.188 for 16F648A.

When i becomes negative (-127 ~ -1) I intend to add MAX_INDEX, but that part of the code is not executed and from the asm/list below, it doesn't seem to be compiled in at all.

Am I missing something such as the way how to declare a signed int variable or PCM has a bug?

Code:
#separate
int8 get_index(int t)
{
   int8 i;

   i = rf_index - t + 1;
   if (i < 0)
   {
      i += MAX_INDEX;
   }
   return i;
}


Code:
0000                02473 .................... #separate
0000                02474 .................... int8 get_index(int t)
0000                02475 .................... {
0000                02476 ....................    int8 i;
0000                02477 ....................
0000                02478 ....................    i = rf_index - t + 1;

0000                02484 ....................    if (i < 0)
0000                02485 ....................    {
0000                02486 ....................       i += MAX_INDEX;
0000                02487 ....................    }
0000                02488 ....................    return i;
0720 0820       02489 MOVF   20,W
0721 00F8       02490 MOVWF  78
0000                02491 .................... }

The problem is that older versions of the CCS manual had this
vital sentence in them:
Quote:
All types, except float, by default are unsigned; however,
they may be preceded by 'unsigned' or 'signed'.

Recent versions do not have it. I have emailed CCS about the
importance of putting that sentence back in, but they haven't
done it yet.

To declare a variable as signed, you have to do this:
Code:
signed int8 value;

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

How strange CCS handles the default. From other C programming experience, I never expected that int default to unsigned int.

Till I got your answer, I had to use bit_test to check the sign bit.

Code:
        //if (i < 0)
        if (bit_test(i, 7))


Now I am back to the normal comparison syntax, thanks to you!
