typedef struct -> Nb of bits out of range
PostPosted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 2:25 pm     Reply with quote

Hello everybody,
I have a problem when I try to creat a structure:

Code:
typedef struct
{
   unsigned int   PLLDIV:9;
   unsigned int   b9:1;
   unsigned int   b10:1;
   unsigned int   b11:1;
   unsigned int   b12:1;
   unsigned int   b13:1;
   unsigned int   b14:1;
   unsigned int   b15:1;
}_Def_SFR_PLLFBD;


I've got an error message at this line:
Code:
unsigned int   PLLDIV:9;

It says:
"Number of bits is out of range".

Do you have an idea about my mistake?

Thanks for any answer,
Franck.

How big is an int in CCS?.
What is the maximum number of bits allowed in a bitfield therefore?...

Best Wishes

Thanks for your answer,

Sorry, I've forgot to say that I'm using PCD which is a 16bits compiler.
In the "PCDReferenceManual" it's written that an int is 16bits large.

I've tried to change
Code:
unsigned int   PLLDIV:9;

by
Code:
unsigned int16   PLLDIV:9;

but I still have the same error message Sad

Do you have another idea to correct my code?

Thanks,
Franck.

It looks like the compiler is only supporting bit fields with a width of 8, so a the following code will compile:

Code:

typedef struct
{
   unsigned int8  PLLDIV:8;
   unsigned int1   b9:1;
   .....
   ...


You can ask CCS if this is a limitation. As a workaround, you can split the value as 8 bits and 1 top bit (9th bit).

Thanks,

I will ask to CCS, but a limitation of 8 bits for a 16 bits compiler is quite strange for me...

I will use the workaround till I have an answer from CCS.

Thanks,
Franck.
