General library

[bungee-]

In time, my programming "library" is growing. I was wodering if it would be good idea, to put all "general" functions (not dependant of HW) to one place.

The dilema I face are const types. Are they put into the PIC memory only as need to have basis or are they all put into the hex. I would think that it is first option, that is in use.
I was looking at LST files, but I did not find even the used const type there.
Anybody know this answer?

To see the 'const' array data in your .LST file, comment out the #nolist
statement in your PIC's .h file. The re-compile. Example:

Or have a look at the symbol file (*.sym).
A variable not present in this file means it takes no memory.

Commenting out the #nolist directive didn't do the trick. I can see the constant in the listing as C directive, but no asm beside that.

Sym shows only one constant of two in my program and the shown is used. So my assumption was correct. Constant is put in the binary file on need to have basis.

Thank you for help.

ROM constants have the start address of their associated function listed in the ROM Allocation section of the *.sym file. But there's no respective symbol in the asm listing.

No functions and table data are generated for unreferenced constants.
