PBP and PBPL

[keymuu]

Hi again

Noticed that when you have PBP v.2.50 you also have PBPL !

So I tried it with/via Microcode Studio v.3.0.0.5 but run directly to an error:

ERROR: Macro DIV32?CW not found in macro file.

As I just struggled out from previous problem (with the kind help from Darrel) and this one sounds like a big fight ahead...
however, hope not!

Suspecting that some data is in a wrong place, but what is there? No idea...

So, the question is, what all should one do before adopting the PBPL?
Should you move some files from one location to another? Or something else?

The software that I try to compile with PBPL is in the same directory as PBP and PBPL, that is C:\PBP...

Thank you in advance

PBPL has LONG (double-words) as a new data type. You don't need DIV32 when using PBPL. Just define your variables as LONGs and do the division.

Thanks Charles!

Yes I had one DIV32, commented it at got a bunch of errors (126) and warnings (220), 4 errors and 16 warnings . The errors:
Error[126] \PBP\PBPPI18L.LIB 722 : argument out of range (34218 not between 0 and 32767)
and the warnings (two kinds, for .LIB and .MAC):
Warning[220]\PBP\PBPPI18L.LIB 788: address exceeds maximum range for this processor.
Warning[220] c:\pbp\godiam.mac 1414: Address exceeds maximum range for this processor.

This processor is PIC18F4550.

So, what should I try next????

Get rid of the DIV32 or do not use PBPL.

Ok, that would of course solve the situation

However, I have routines that need precise calculation where ... well 16 bit is not enough, I would need about 24 bits to calculate what I need to calculate.

So, if Microchip provides a LONG variable for v2.50 users it should also work... or?

What is wrong when getting those errors an warnings? Please help!

IF you use PBPL ...

May be you should declare your DIV relevant vars as LONG ... no ???

IF you use DIV32

May be you've noticed it's ( ONLY ? ) a 31 x 15 bits operation ... Manual $ 4.17.8

that need precise calculation

This sentence always make me laugh !!! may we know about those calculations ???

PS:

To re-arrange your program not to exceed the 32k limit ... probably some redundant or overkilling calculations ...
BTW ... I remember Skimask ( Wish you a happy new year ,Ski ! ) wrote an interesting paper about that on this Forum ...
