typemod -no joy- can't get sample code to work

[peteD]

I am trying hard to convert from hitech c to ccs and am stuck setting up my eeprom tables.

My intention is to have a couple of arrays in eeprom which contain variables that are occassionally changed. One array for example contains a table of a-to-d conversion values. Another array contains pointers to the default values in the first table while a third array contains pointers to the user's selected values. (low voltage, high voltage, etc).

I have been trying to get TYPEMOD to work for this. Even using the example on page 75 of the October 2005 manual, verbatim, I get an error as soon as I try to declare a variable using the defined typemod. (Forget arrays... just individual variables.

Here is the code and I inserted the error message on the line that generates it. I can't make sense of error 36 in this context. (I tryed using int16 instead of int32 to no avail). Chip is a 12F683 as declared in the code. MPLAB 7.31, compiler is latest release.

As I have wasted a week on this problem, creating simpler and simpler examples... any clues would be greatly appreciated.


#device PIC12F683

// DIRECTLY FROM PAGE 75 of OCTOBER 2005 Manual

void DataEE_Read(int32 addr, int8 * ram, int bytes) {
int i;
for(i=0;i<=bytes;i++,ram++,addr++)
*ram=read_eeprom(addr);
}

void DataEE_Write(int32 addr, int8 * ram, int bytes) {
int i;
for(i=0;i<=bytes;i++,ram++,addr++)
write_eeprom(addr, *ram);
}

typemod <,DataEE_Read,DateEE_Write,5,0xff>DataEE ;


void main()
{
int DataEE test; // *** Error 36 Line 27(12,16): Expecting a ; or ,
int x,y;
x=12; //
test =x;
y=test;

}

The problem is that the CCS manual has typos, and so does your code.

The manual is missing the '_' in the first parameter:

Well shiver me timbers! Amazing what you can't see when you look really hard for a long time. And none of the CCS support folks caught this either.

THANK YOU! compiles just fine with that one fix. Error message sure did not help any.
