| Aligning a Function in Memory |

I am trying to use a #org statement to place a function in the last row of program memory. Specifically, I want to make a sleep statement the very last instruction in program memory.
However, the compiler wants to put a RETURN statement at the end of the function (thus making it the last instruction in memory). Is there a way to tell the compiler not to do this? Here is the code I have written and how it is compiled:
| Code: | #ORG (getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY")-63), (getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY")-1)
void goToSleep()
{
#asm
//NOP I want to uncomment this, but the compiler chokes because it injects a RETURN. See below
NOP

Here is the .lst of how it is compiled:
| Code: | void goToSleep()
.................... {
.................... #asm
.................... //NOP I want to uncomment this, but the compiler chokes because it injects a RETURN. See below
.................... NOP

I am using v4.099 on a dsPIC30F5011. |

I don't have your compiler, so I tested this for an 18F452.
I put a Branch statement at the end of the routine, so it will jump
over the RETLW instruction and jump to a SLEEP instruction that
I've inserted at the end of program memory with an #org statement.
I don't guarantee this is the best way to do it. It's one way that I
quickly thought of.
| Code: |
#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#ORG (getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY")-63), (getenv("PROGRAM_MEMORY")-1)
#inline
void goToSleep()
{
#asm
//NOP
//NOP
//NOP
NOP
NOP
NOP

NOP
NOP // 10

NOP // 20
NOP

NOP
NOP
NOP // 29
bra 0x7FFE
#endasm
}
#rom 0x7FFE = {0x0003} // Sleep Opcode for 18F452
//======================================
void main(void)
{
while(1);

Thanks. That got me thinking of another solution. Just use a #rom to fill the entire area with NOPs and stick the sleep opcode at the end. Basically what you're doing without the need of writing a function --
| Code: | | #rom 0x17FC0 = {0,0,0...until last instruction...,0xFE4000} |
Where 0xFE4000 is the PWRSAV #0 instruction |

That would work too. I wasn't sure exactly what you were trying to do,
so that's why I tried to maintain as much of your function as possible. |
