printf
PostPosted: Thu May 19, 2005 4:56 pm     Reply with quote

I have the following problem using printf.
The device I am using is 18F252

Code example
Code:

long j;
j=244;
printf("%03lu",j);


The output I get is 4a0.

I have the problem with CCS 3.223 and 3.224

The manual is available here:

http://www.ccsinfo.com/ccscmanual.zip

On page 136 they list the printf format options:

Quote:

Format:
The format takes the generic form %wt where w is
optional and may be 1-9 to specify how many characters
are to be outputted, or 01-09 to indicate leading zeros or
1.1 to 9.9 for floating point. t is the type and may be one
of the following:
C Character
S String or character
U Unsigned int
x Hex int (lower case output)
X Hex int (upper case output)
D Signed int
e Float in exp format
f Float
Lx Hex long int (lower case)
LX Hex long int (upper case)
lu unsigned decimal long
ld signed decimal long
% Just a %


So the code that should work is:

Code:
long j;
j=244;
printf("%LU",j);


(Even though this option isn't explicitly defined in the manual, I discovered it by trial and error.)

Good luck,

John

My program had been working.

I have a function where I delare 2 long int and when
I added 2 more long int to this function was when the
problem started.

The problem even caused %lu to not work in other functions.

I have now made the additional 2 long int to be global
variables instead of a local variable. I still have the
original 2 long int in the function.

Well, %lu now works ok with printf.

I have found that this problem must be a bug in the Compiler.

When the printf(%03lu) does not work right the compiler has assigned to printf memory from 0xfc to 0x104. It is strange because printf(%05lu) does work ok.

When I adust memory by using #locate, the compiler now assigns memory from 0x7c to 0x84 to printf and the function works ok.
