Max number of variable declarations

[stma]

Hi
Is it possible to have too many variable declerations in a procedure?

I have 10 int and 2 int32 in a certain procedure. When I have this in the program it disrupts my printf routines!
If I reduce the ints in this procedure then all is fine?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Post the simplest code that compiles and showes the error.

What compiler version?.
What chip?.
There are several 'traps for the unwary', to be aware of. First, is that if (for instance), a subroutine, returns the address of a variable it uses internally, this variable _must_ be declared as static, or it is not guaranteed to exist in any external routine.
Generally, the compiler will warn you if there is not enough RAM to hold all the variables, but in order to ue the RAM efficiently, it is 're-used', aned the above illustrates how problems can therefore arise.
As a similar example, if the printf, calls two routines, that directly return values through the 'scratch' area, the values from the second routine can overwrite those from the first. So, in certain circumstances, a call like:

printf("%4ld %4ld %4ld",routine(),routine(),routine());

Can result in the earlier values becoming corrupted by the latter calls. If instead you use:

a=routine();
b=routine();
c=routine();
printf("%4ld %4ld %4ld",a,b,c);

This corruption does not occur, since the values each have their own storage.
If you look at the .lst file, it will show the memory usage.
