Strange loop
PostPosted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:10 am     Reply with quote

This code when compiled it places a BRA instruction immediately after the function heading void calc_x(float32 L1,float32 L2,float32 Lb)

This is incorrect.

This is the code:-

Code:
#include "C:\Program Files\PICC\location x y.h"
#include <math.h>
#define <stdio.h>
#define test pin_c7

void calc_x (float32 L1,float32 L2, float32 Lb);
void calc_y (float32 L1, float32 Xc);

static float32 Xc,Yc;

int number_of_cells;
int number_of_nodes;

void main(void)
 {   
float32 _X, _Y;
float32  L1, L2, L3, L4, Lb, x, y;     

   setup_adc_ports(NO_ANALOGS|VSS_VDD);
   setup_adc(ADC_OFF|ADC_TAD_MUL_0);
   setup_psp(PSP_DISABLED);
   setup_spi(SPI_SS_DISABLED);
   setup_wdt(WDT_OFF);
   setup_timer_0(RTCC_INTERNAL);
   setup_timer_1(T1_DISABLED);
   setup_timer_2(T2_DISABLED,0,1);
   setup_comparator(NC_NC_NC_NC);
   setup_vref(FALSE);

 
  _X=25;    //cell size
  _Y=16;

  L1=4.20;   //shortest distance                   
  L2=13.00;    //next distance
 
  Lb=_Y;

  // We contact four nodes and get four TOF figures.
  calc_x (L1,L2,Lb);     //call to Xc calculation

  Xc=Xc-_Y;                //to reference correct part of cell

  calc_y(L2,Xc);

}
//**************************** End of Main ************

//************************** Xc calculation ************
void calc_x(float32 L1,float32 L2,float32 Lb)
{
Xc=(float32)(((pow( L1,2))-(pow (L2,2))+(pow (Lb,2)))/(2*Lb));
return;
}
//************************** Yc calculation ************

void calc_y(float32 L2, float32 Xc)
{
Yc=sqrt ((pow (L2,2))-( pow (Xc,2)));
return;
}

Has anyone an idea why this is happening?

The "bug" is that this line doesn't correspond to 1st line of function but to last line of main().

It's not part of the function. Look at the address. There's no problem.
CCS doesn't write the .LST file so that all addresses are in numerical
order. They have a FAQ article on this:

Hi

Thanks for the comments, but the code loops at this point.

Single stepping in the .LST window the code loops at this point, it never gets to the function.

Running the code from debug, it stops at this point.

Could you post a range of lines of the .lst file around the call to calc_x() function?

I don't have a 18F4520, but I do have a 18F452, so I compiled your
program for that PIC, with vs. 4.071. I had to comment out a few
lines such as the ADC setup, comparator setup, etc., and some of the
fuses so it would compile for that PIC.

I then "connected" to the board with an ICD2 in MPLAB. I single-stepped
until I got down to the code inside the calc_x() function. I pressed the
F8 key to execute that line of code. It took 35 seconds. That could give
you the appearance of "locking up". Floating point, especially the pow()
function, takes a massive amount of code execution time on the PIC.

When single stepping in the .LST window, the cursor does not increment.

I'm using MPLAB and it sure works for me. In MPLAB, you go to the
View menu, and pick "Disassembly Listing". Then you can press the
F7 or F8 key to single-step through through it. It's really slow. Using
hardware debugging is not like running the MPSIM simulator. But the
cursor is definitly advancing each time I press the key.

If you press the F8 key ("step over"), sometimes, the Output window
displays this message over and over again for several seconds.
For example, on a "call" instruction:
Quote:
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready
Stepping Target
MPLAB ICD 2 Ready
Stepping Target

Hardware debugging is really slow, but it does work. This whole
exercise reminds me of why I don't use the hardware debugger.
It takes too much time. Just write the code so it works, and if you
need to prove some segment of it, just add a printf statement to
display some intermediate values.

Regards,

My request was to see the lines where the call is done (in the main), not where the function is. ;-)

PCM programmer,

I am investigating various ways of doing this calculation.

I have about 1 second for each loop of calculations.

The source of the data I use is send to me in floating point, but I may be able to change the way I handle the data.


thanks for your comments

So that's exactly what I said.
This line :
Quote:

135E D7FF 04257 BRA 135E

isn't the first line of the calc_x() function but the last one of the main() function.
And that's normal.
The "bug" is only a presentation problem in the .lst file, and not a compiler bug.

Look for #nolist because you cant increment through unlisted code.

True! Typically, you have to remove (or comment) the #nolist at the beginning of the header file used for your chip.
