ENUM ID values not unique
PostPosted: Sat Jun 05, 2010 11:21 pm     Reply with quote
Hi everybody,

I'm using 4.104 compiler version with a 18F2321.

I have the following declaration:

Quote:

enum Modes{InternalMode, ExternalMode, EncoderMode, StandByMode};


When I mouse over this statement I get the wrong constant values -

InternalMode = 0
ExternalMode = 2
EncoderMode = 0
StandByMode = 0

The manual says:
" The ids in the list are each created as a constant. By default the first id is set to zero and they increment by one. "

I have a simple test if-else if statement that fails - it never gets to EncoderMode since it is exiting at InternalMode test.

Code:

if(CurrentMode == InternalMode)
   Display = Display + 1;
else if(CurrentMode == ExternalMode)
   Display = Display +2;
else if(CurrentMode == EncoderMode)
   Display = Display + 3;


Any idea what's going on? Am I wrong to expect the mouse over to show the constants to be assigned 0 to 3?

Thanks, Al

The mouse-over would be some kind of IDE issue. The actual code works.
(You didn't say what IDE you're using).
I installed vs. 4.104 and compiled the test program shown below.
Here's the output from the MPLAB simulator. It's correct.
Quote:

InternalMode: 0
ExternalMode: 1
EncoderMode: 2
StandbyMode: 3

Code:

#include <18F2321.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

enum Modes{InternalMode, ExternalMode, EncoderMode, StandByMode};

//======================================
void main(void)
{
printf("InternalMode: %u\r", InternalMode);
printf("ExternalMode: %u\r", ExternalMode);
printf("EncoderMode: %u\r", EncoderMode);
printf("StandbyMode: %u\r", StandbyMode);

while(1);
}


Then I made the test program shown below with your 'if-else' statements
and it gave this result, which is correct:
Quote:

Display = 3

Code:

#include <18F2321.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

enum Modes{InternalMode, ExternalMode, EncoderMode, StandByMode};

//======================================
void main(void)
{
int8 CurrentMode;
int8 Display;

Display = 0;
CurrentMode = 2;

if(CurrentMode == InternalMode)
   Display = Display + 1;
else if(CurrentMode == ExternalMode)
   Display = Display +2;
else if(CurrentMode == EncoderMode)
   Display = Display + 3;

printf("Display = %u\r", Display);

while(1);
}

Hi PCM programmer,

I just compiled your code and it still gives me wrong ID's. I'll reload CCS's IDE and post if that does not solve the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Hi everybody,

Reloading the compiler and CCS' IDE (now V. 4.103) did not solve the problem, but I found an interesting clue.

I simplified the code as much as possible

Code:

#include <18F2321.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=10000000)

enum Modes{InternalMode, ExternalMode, EncoderMode, StandByMode};

void main(void)
   {
   while(1)
      {}
   }


I get the correct ID values (0,1,2,3) when I compile the code. It is only after I turn on the ICD-U64 debugger that I get the problem.

The correct compiler mouse over has black lettering on a light blue background, The incorrect mouse over with the IDE uses blue lettering on a yellow background. Different software!

I think the problem is in the ICD-U64. I'll try the programmer at work tomorrow and see what happens.

I've the same problem here. I'm using CCS IDE version 4.107 and PCB, PCM, PCH, PCD version 4.107 with ICD-U64. Please help.

The best work around is to define each ENUM value as a constant.

Foe example, use
Quote:


const int8 InternalMode=0, ExternalMode=1, EncoderMode=2, StandByMode=3;



instead of
Quote:


enum Modes{InternalMode, ExternalMode, EncoderMode, StandByMode};



This works fine. I'll keep bugging CCS about this until get a response.

Thanks Al,

I like to see this fix as well. It just kind of bug me that the simple enum doesn't work the way it should.

The thing is that the enum does. It appears to be a problem with the way that the IDE 'understands' enum values. Have used many dozens of enum's with a hardware ICE, and in real code, and the values are right. It is only in the IDE debugging environment, that the values go wrong....

Having the same problem.

Ya, I've spent quite a bit of time dealing with this problem and it seems like it cascades into other areas causing more debugger-related problems. Like arrays of structs containing enums are showing incorrect data and size.
