Assigning variables in to RAM locations

[David Gerrey]

How does the CCS compiler assign RAM locations for the variables? The reason I ask is because I have run into a weird situation....

I am running an emulation of an 18F6720 on an MPLAB ICE 2000. I am using MPLAB's IDE v6.2 and CCS compiler version 3.156. When I do a simple assignment of value to a variable (ie - day = 0x06), and I watch for the value to change in the watch window as I step through, the value doesn't change. What I have noticed is that the variable address in the watch window and the address it uses in the assembly are different.

For example I have a variable called day that I assign a value to in my initial setup. In the watch window it says the address is 110, but in the disassembled code it goes to address E5. When I look at adress E5 the value is there, but not in the slot where the program thinks the variable day is (110). This causes problems because when I refer to that variable I don't get the value I assigned to it.

Please help.

debugging from 3.154...3.156 doesn't appear to work.
3.152 seems ok.

I have been in contact with the CCS support and it seems to be a MPLAB issue. MPLAB is not reading the COD or SYM files correctly.
