MPLAB Warnings

[AtomSoft]

How do i create my own warnings in MPLAB?

Like in VB6 i would...

debug.print "my message"

and it would place that in a window in the bottom. How can i do the same for mplab? i know its possible

You need the error directive,

        if $>1234
        error  "Out of memory"
        endif

Edit, you can also use messsage if you don't want the assembler to stop.

Cool!! thanks ill try it now

 

[AtomSoft]

doesnt work

 

[Pommie]

Works fine for me. Are you using C or something?

Mike.

 

[AtomSoft]

yeah heh i thought you knew that by now heh... can i use inline asm with it?

 

[Pommie]

It depends on the compiler. Which compiler are you using?

Mike.

 

[AtomSoft]

heh C18...

 

[Pommie]

Try #error.

Mike.

 

[AtomSoft]

works now the problem is ... is sudden....

I want to debug my code. Like if it runs into a certain area then load the warning/error

#warning works like #error only on compile

 

[AtomSoft]

I want like a PRINTF to mplab or somewhere besides a UART

 

[Pommie]

You can't do that in your source as the compiler doesn't know where the linker will put the code. You have to change the linker script.

I don't understand what you are trying to do.

ok ill tell you what i did to get what i want...

I made a array 40 bytes long:

unsigned char debug[40];

Now everytime i use this variable array i clear it using:

memset(debug,0,40);

Now i create break points to determine very easy the status of certain things:

sprintf (debug, "Init OK!");

Now using the watch window i can see if it passed or failed without going through code.

 

[AtomSoft]

another example:

    res = pf_mount(&fs);
#ifdef DEBUGON
    memset(debug,0,40);
    if(!res)
        sprintf (debug, "Mount FS Passed!");
    else
        sprintf (debug, "Mount FS Failed!");
#endif
