read_program_eeprom() no longer recognized by CCS 3.190

[schmobolo]

I tried CCS version 3.190 and when trying to compile an operational software I get the following error with the read_program_eeprom() built-in function:
Undefined Identifier (error 12). Weird isn't it ?

Has anybody experienced the same or has an explanation?

Your problem may be similar to this:

The last 3 posts on that page might be of some help.

Hi,

I have tried a bunch of things based on what's posted on http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18783&highlight= but nothing works and it'sn't aproblem with the reg files.

For your information the target is a 18F6621 and the compiler error occures while compiling the following function:

#separate
void page_icon_write(int32 adresse, int x, int y, int1 inversion, int1 efface)
{
int i,j, line_offset, stop_line, start_line, hauteur, largeur, valeur_temporaire_ram;
int valeur_temporaire_icon, masque1, masque2;
largeur= read_program_eeprom(adresse);
hauteur= read_program_eeprom(adresse+1);
start_line= (y-1)/8;
stop_line=(y+hauteur-2)/8;
line_offset= (y-1)%8;

for (j=start_line; j<=stop_line; j++)
{
for (i=(x-1); ((i<(x+largeur-1))&&(i<122)) ;i++)
{
if (line_offset!=0)
{
if (j<stop_line)
{
valeur_temporaire_ram=page_ram[j][i];
valeur_temporaire_icon=read_program_eeprom(adresse+(i-x+3)+((j-start_line)*largeur));
valeur_temporaire_icon<<=line_offset;
masque1=(0xff<<line_offset);
masque2=(0xff>>(8-line_offset));
page_ram[j][i]&=masque2; //reste inchangé
if (inversion) page_ram[j][i] += (valeur_temporaire_icon ^ valeur_temporaire_ram)&masque1;
else page_ram[j][i] += valeur_temporaire_icon&masque1;
if (efface) page_ram[j][i]=0;


valeur_temporaire_ram=page_ram[j+1][i];
valeur_temporaire_icon=read_program_eeprom(adresse+(i-x+3)+((j-start_line)*largeur));
valeur_temporaire_icon>>=(8-line_offset);
masque1=(0xff>>(8-line_offset));
masque2=(0xff<<line_offset);
page_ram[j+1][i]&=masque2;
if (inversion) page_ram[j+1][i] += (valeur_temporaire_icon ^ valeur_temporaire_ram)&masque1;
else page_ram[j+1][i] += valeur_temporaire_icon&masque1;
if (efface) page_ram[j+1][i] =0;
}

}
else
{
valeur_temporaire_ram=page_ram[j][i];
if (inversion) page_ram[j][i] = read_program_eeprom(adresse+(i-x+3)+((j-start_line)*largeur)) ^ valeur_temporaire_ram;
else page_ram[j][i] = read_program_eeprom(adresse+(i-x+3)+((j-start_line)*largeur));
if (efface) page_ram[j][i] =0;
}
}
}
}

I compiled your progam under 3.189 and it compiled fine.

Under 3.190 I experienced the same problem you did.

I gives me 6 Error 12s and one error 51 for the exact same code that compiled with no errors 5 minutes earlier with 3.189.

It looks like we have a bug here!!!

Has it been reported to CCS?

[Schmobol]

Thank you for your help. Yes this problem has been reported yesterday. Too bad for a baseline release!

[Haplo]

I've already found two other bugs in the baseline release and reported them...

I only put this here in case somebody else has experienced similar problems I had when switched from PCH 3.180 to PCH 3.190:
Basically it is a copy of my bug report to CCS tech.support.

I also had a problem with use of read_program_eeprom() when compiling for PIC18F6621.

The solution was a new devices.dat file emailed from CCS tech support.

Sadly the new file did not allow use of read_program_memory() - but this can be fixed by editing the device file and selecting ROM_Access using
Tools/Device Editor for the relevant processor.

regards
