| using timer pic18f4550 |

Hello 
The timer0, timer1, timer2 and timer3 in pic 18f4550 are defined by 16bit(8bit timer0L and 8 bit timer0H) and the same for others timers.
The question is when I use ccs the interrupt caused by a timer will be when the timer0L is overflowed or when the timer0H is overflowed ? |

I find it's easiest to sometimes read the microchip data sheet.
For instance, timer0 can operate in both 8 and 16 bit modes.

11.4 Timer0 Interrupt
The TMR0 interrupt is generated when the TMR0
register overflows from FFh to 00h in 8-bit mode, or
from FFFFh to 0000h in 16-bit mode. This overflow sets
the TMR0IF flag bit.

yes it's so clear from the datasheet but the problem that I use the CCS compiler and I don't know if it work with 8 bit configuration or 16 bit and how to update it ? |

Look at the processor include file. Little entries like:
T0_8_BIT
......
Default is always 16bit operation.

Sorry, had not understood original question. What you meant was that you wanted to know which mode you were in with CCS.

That's confusing for me when microchip defaults the other way.
| Quote: | 9.8 TMR0 Interrupt
In 8-bit mode (which is the default), an overflow in the
TMR0 register (FFh → 00h) will set flag bit, TMR0IF. In
16-bit mode, an overflow in the TMR0H:TMR0L register |
