Hi Andy,
My interest was on strings, single-character constant here is used just for test.
I'm trying to switch to "C" on hard way - by rewriting old
code, for which i know how it works. So on assembler i have
something like "switch in C" , where i use addresses of
corresponding procedures to be call. On other places user interface messages (const char msg[] ) are "called" trough
"switch" type tables too - these tables contain pair of numbers - "switch" itself and address of first message line.
So , i started to think how to implement same structures , without retyping at first stage. And as You stated ASM-thinking
is different , so i found unexpected limit in compiler, maybe compiler has option , maybe not. But for me, in my situation, is not very interesting to read 789 pages manual and to find , that this is non-enabled operation. Because i plane simultaneously to move to C and to ARM, maybe will drop IAR limitations to IAR-fans.
regards,
Stefan
