int1 problem |

Hi There,
I have an int1 in a function and initialize it with 0 and in MPLAB debugger (ICD3) it shows me a value of 0x5C - how can that be???
Thanks,
Ron |

if I remember right, CCS packs INT1's into a byte...
MPLAB shows you the byte... can you expand it to see the bits within?
I'd have to do a check myself to see.. but off the top of my head...

Yes I can see the bits withinand okay, 0x5C bit0 is 0 but you cant expect this to go the way you would expect:
int1 x=0;
if (x){
// it'll go here;
}else{
// but i would expect it here;
}
Why would I need to apply a mask 0x01 to a variable I declared to be 1 bit long only?
Seems like I don't see through but... |

You don't need to mask. It's MPLAB's interpretation to display.
I use 1bit int's all the time in CCS and they work fine as you'd expect.
If you want.... do that If-Then and then look at the asm.. you'll see it's as efficient as you'd expect with a bit testing instructions rather than loading up WREG and testing that.
