MCS 3.0.0.5 'bytes used' report sometimes inaccurate.

[Darrel Taylor]

Can't say if it's just you or not, but ...

I get the exact opposite.

Whatever I do, everything compiles to an Even number of bytes.
The number is reported by MPASM. MCS just passes it along.

Thought maybe there could be a problem when things go over 65535, so I made a quick test program that just uses however many NOP's you want to suck up program space.

It always reports the correct number of bytes, +4-6 that PBP adds.

ASM
UseSpace  macro Words
     variable HighLoop = high(Words)
     while HighLoop > 0
         variable LowLoop = 255
         while LowLoop > 0
             nop
             variable LowLoop = LowLoop - 1
         endw
         nop
         variable HighLoop = HighLoop - 1
     endw
     variable LowLoop = low(Words)
     while LowLoop > 0
         nop
         variable LowLoop = LowLoop - 1
     endw
  endm
ENDASM

@  UseSpace  33000

Maybe you can try it to see if the results are different.

Are you using an @ db xx anywhere?
