What have I done now?

[Hylan]

Here is a working and non working hex file samples from the same code. Rename file extension to .hex

There is a noticable difference in size of the files. Also, I noticed that on the drop down on the IDC Compile button I've got a couple choices listed:
Picbasic Pro 2.50
Picbasic Pro 2.50B
Picbasic Pro 2.50L

Originally I had two listed, 2.50 and 2.50L and the 2.50L was checked. So I tried checking the 2.50 just to see what would happen and then the 2.50B appeared. I don't know what the differences in these are but thought I'd throw it out there.

For what it is worth, The config bits are the same between the two. I have not had time to look any farther yet.

The notworking file has 17176 bytes, the working file has 5590 bytes.
Are you sure about compiling the same program? Doesn't look like it to me...
If the 17176 file was compiled with PBPL, that might make sense since PBPL uses all 32 bit math whereas PBP doesn't.

Hi, Hylan

any chance you post here your source code ???

just us to try to reproduce the probem ...

I am a bit confused between your first post and the subsequent one. You indicate that the setup is 2 years old and a 2 week old compile works. IIRC, PBP2.50 is of recent vintage. Is it possible you compiled the working file with another version of PBP prior to 2.50? Is that version still available with you so you can backtrack and rule out the compiler change causing this issue? I would like to look at the listing to see if there's something broken here. If you feel insecure posting your code on the forum, you can PM it to me. Cant promise much, but I am willing to help

PS: after loading both files, I can say that you haven't embedded the configuration into your source code. So, you are possibly setting the oscillator wrong. HS instead of XT or otherwise

Okay, so I looked and it's been less than 2 years. Maybe 2 dog years! I have been using the same version 2.50 the whole time and the same pic 18f6520.
I did look and the use PBPL box was checked in response to Skimask's post. I assembled and compiled with it checked and unchecked and got the same result (nothing).
Attached is the source code.
Is there anything with the path setting under the environmental variables that needs to be set? What all should be in there?
The only thing I have in there now is a pointer to the MPASM, nothing else.
Thank you,
Hylan

Hi Hylan,
I compiled the source code you posted and got exactly what you posted as working and could not duplicate the nonworking code regardless of how I set my assembler or compiler options. Perhaps your mpasm got corrupted somehow, Maybe a fresh download is in order.

Joe,
I appreciate it! Can you tell me your settings under your Compile and Program Options?
And any other settings that might be impacting this.
I will unload and reload MPASM and see what happens.
Once I reload MPASM are there any setting changes I need to make there?
Thank you,
Hylan
