#164469 - Portability
Responding to: ???'s previous message
David Prentice said:
Of course you can do something similar with the _at_ keyword but you can have portability problems.

You will always have portability problems with addressing specific 8051 memory spaces, because they are totally beyond the scope of the standard - therefore whatever means you use will always rely on implementation-specific (ie, non-portable) language extensions!

You can, of course, minimise the problems of that by "encapsulating" all the implementation-specifics in macros...

            Oh yes it is!            01/01/70 00:00      
   Use XBYTE macro            01/01/70 00:00      
      Isn't there a problem with that?            01/01/70 00:00      
         Oops. I used a wrong example            01/01/70 00:00

               like this...            01/01/70 00:00      
   How about a macro in ASM, callable from 'C'?            01/01/70 00:00      
      This is HOW I will Prefer            01/01/70 00:00      
         LST output of my previously posted code            01/01/70 00:00
