Some Bugs...

[barzivb]

Recently i bought Proton complier
I updated it to the last version
It's look great but i found some serious bugs :

1.When i write the command
"CWrite 8000,[1,0,4,0,7,0,"*",0,2,0,5,0,8,0,0,0,3,0,6,0,9,0,"#",0] "
in the memory it's write the initials numbers with "3F" thus when write 1 the value is 3F01, 2 = 3F02 etc...
if i write just 1 number it's ok, but if it's many numbers (like in the line up,the bug is occured

2. I must using addresses from memoy, so i have using with poke command
'Poke COUNTERT,ClickedTimer"
(COUNTERT and ClickedTimer are words variables)
if i write the address directly like "poke 7,ClickedTimer" so it's ok.
but if i write the address by variable "poke var1,var2 " it's done nothing
With the 2nd data, has no problem if it's variable

Thanks

Hi, its great to see you visiting our forum. Why not try Proton Compiler for FREE? Download the FREE version of Proton Compiler, Its called Amicus18 and its available from HERE Already using proton Compiler??? Get rid of these pesky messages... get LICENSED USER STATUS

3 Can you point me to where in the manual Poke is a command?

Tim must be busy; he's being brief!

On the cwrite, you do know that you must erase it prior to writing, right? The PIC type will determine how much must be erased.
In addition, because you are complaining of the preceding 3f, then I'm going to guess you are using a 16f, because if you read the manual (pg 160) it clearly states that $3fff is the max number available... I'm going to guess that if you tell it to write a byte that it is ONLY going to write the byte, and the top 6 bits are going to stay at $3f. Because 16f PIC's do not have 16 bit code space (they have 14 bit commands), you cannot write two bytes consecutively into memory, because it doesn't hold 2 bytes.

Peek and Poke are unsupported keywords...kind of an unnecessary hangover from the old days. Describe your goal, and somebody here will likely be able to help you with a better method.

1. I operate it on 16f877.
2. poke 8,var of byte type - this is works
poke var1,var2 - this is not work at all
3. sorry, i don't understand your question

Were in the manual is the Poke command that you are talking about?

Post the section from the manual so I can see the syntax

[C_Moore]

Actualy Tim Peek and Poke are valid commands. They are just not documented.

[wastrix]

The reason why a command may not be documented is usually because it is deprecated, is "advanced" or "dangerous" or in beta stage - possibly they do not work in all cases or they are only kept to maintain semi-compatibility with old programs and other languages like for the Basic Stamp, etc.

In general, if a command/directive/etc. is not documented, presumably it would have been removed or neglected to be put in by Les for a reason and so it is not good practice to use it in new programs.

[C_Moore]

point being it is still a valid command. If it is not recommended for use then it should be removed.

[Tim]

The point is it is a non supported command. I was left in for backward compatibility, there are loads of commands not used but the name is reserved. As I said in my post.

Why take off these important commands (peek & poke) insteed just fix the bugs ?
This commads exist properly all the other pic's languages, so no reson it's not in Proton....
i used by them to choose the right outputs or inputs by a smart multi-data table from memory, so the program determine by the data which port and what is the data.
In this way the program is so small, smart fast and effective

Thank
