BoostC issue, access 16-bit SFR as INT

[Mike - K8LH]

Gentlemen, what am I doin' wrong? I see a definition for ccpr1 in the '2620 header file but I can't seem to access it as an INT. I get an error when trying to assign an integer variable to it;

  unsigned int match = 2400;

...
  ccpr1 = match;     // update CCPR1 "compare" registers
  match <<= 1;       // match value for next cycle

Hi Mike,

ccpr1 is defined as a char in the header file and so I added,

volatile int ccpr1w @CCPR1L;

to my main code so I could access it as a word.

I'm not sure why they didn't make it an int in the header.

Mike.

Now I see where it's defined as type char further down in the header file. Thanks Mike.
