Boostc Signed Long Fails To Initialize Correclty

[Bruce Bartie 0]

Bug description:

When using a GLOBAL signed long variable, it fails to initialize to 0. The 3rd byte does not clear and all attempts to clear it fails.

When using a local signed long the problem does NOT seem to occur.

 

Tried the following:

signed long ul1;

ul1 =0; // fails

ul1 = ul1&0x00000000;

 

Using the float.h and float.pic16.lib

 

Steps to reproduce:

 

signed long ul1;

 

void function(void)

{

ul1=0;

}

 

Expected behaviour:

The 3rd byte of the variable fails to clear

 

Is the problem 100% reproduceable:

Happens every time. Cannot make it go away.

 

IDE version: MPLAB 7.62

Compiler: BoostC 6.81

Target device: PIC16F913

OS: Windows XP SP2

Can not reproduce. Code initializes variable correctly. Please send project that shows this problem to support@sourceboost.com

 

signed long ul1; 

void main()
{
ul1=0;

while( 1 );
}
