Interrupts disabled during call to prevent re-entrancy:
PostPosted: Thu Jun 18, 2015 5:17 pm     Reply with quote

Hi All,

It is late and I am tired so I am sure I am missing something that should be obvious.

I am using CCS V4.140 for a PIC16F1939.

When I compile the program I get the following error.
Code:

>>> Warning 216 "Timer.c" Line 2257(0,1): Interrupts disabled during call to prevent re-entrancy:  (@DIV1616)


I have the following variables declared.

If I remove the first eight int8 variables. (see below)
Code:

int8 Econ1Counter;      // Used for the Economy mode counter for timer 1
int8 Econ2Counter;      // Used for the Economy mode counter for timer 2
int8 Econ3Counter;      // Used for the Economy mode counter for timer 3
int8 Econ4Counter;      // Used for the Economy mode counter for timer 4
int8 Econ1Preset;      // Set to hold the Preset Value EconCounter1 is counting up too
int8 Econ2Preset;      // Set to hold the Preset Value EconCounter2 is counting up too
int8 Econ3Preset;      // Set to hold the Preset Value EconCounter3 is counting up too
int8 Econ4Preset;      // Set to hold the Preset Value EconCounter4 is counting up too


The error goes away but as soon as I add just one of them the error comes back.

I have looked at the Memory usage in the .lst file but it looks like I have plenty of room. Here is the first few lines of the .lst file.

Code:

CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 4.140, 7689               18-Jun-15 18:56

               Filename:   X:\Eds docs\Data\Customer Files\P-plus\DPC-VS4\Code\F1939\Timer.lst

               ROM used:   7896 words (48%)
                           Largest free fragment is 2048
               RAM used:   112 (11%) at main() level
                           137 (13%) worst case
               Stack:     9 worst case (7 in main + 2 for interrupts)


Is it possible I am declaring to many global variables?

Thanks in advance for any help.

show full code

but, this usually because you call a function that is also used by an interrupt. you can't do that. functions like #timer0 above them can't be called by your program. so while you call the function the interrupt is disabled.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I left the office so I can't post the full code.

I am just confused that it compiled and ran just fine until I added the 8 new int8 variables at the top. I didn't even use them yet. I was just declaring them to use them in the next part of the code I was writing.

Yes, but post the timer interrupt routine that causes this error:

Thanks for the input!

I went back into the office and did a little more digging into my program with your suggestion about the timer interrupt in mind. I also dug into the forum a little deeper and found some good posts that had to do with division and interrupts. I was able to rewrite my code using simpler binary manipulations and got rid of a rather nasty division calculation in the interrupt routine.

That cleared up the warning.

Thanks again all for the quick replies. Now I will be able to get a decent nights sleep without stewing on it all night.

You all are the best!!

I see you've sussed it , but it probably doesn't hurt saying it again:

It's not an "error" it's a "warning". There's a difference.

The warning is telling you that a routine, 16 by 16 bit integer divide, is used in both an ISR and the main code. As routines cannot be re-entrant, and thus cannot be interrupted by something that might re-enter the routine, the compiler has disabled interrupts around the sections of main code that have the routine, making them critical sections.

Your code will compile and run "correctly" with the warnings. If it was an error, the code wouldn't even compile. Whether the probably slight performance hit is a problem for you, only you can say. In general I try to avoid such warnings.

Be aware that in this case this is not a routine you've written (though the same will happen with your own code), its a maths routine used by the compiler to implement a particular form of division.
