Compiler hangs with in-line assembly

[jartim 0]

Bug description:

Compiler hangs indefinitely with the following source -

Steps to reproduce:

This file is "TClass.hpp" -

unsigned char ReadFlash(unsigned int FlashAddr)
{
    asm 
    {
        _tblptru = 0
        _tblptrh = _FlashAddr
        _tblptrl = _FlashAddr+1
        tblrd*
    }
    
    return tablat;
}

 

Expected behaviour:

This should compile with no errors

 

Is the problem 100% reproduceable:

100% every time

 

IDE version:   MPLAB-X V4.20

Compiler:               BoostC++

Compiler version:     V7.43

Target device: PIC18F8527

OS:                     Win 7

 

Comments:

Compiles if the three lines relating to _tblptrx are commented out.

Compiler hanging is not good and we will look into this but your code does not look correct either. Everything inside the asm{} block should be assembly language. Anything else including C statements like _tblptru = 0 will not work.

Hi Pavel

You are 100% correct, I was changing the coding from assembler to C and wasn't concentrating!

Please disregard my original post.
