Hey Kyle, Although the syntax is incorrect according to the doc, it does work. There are most likely more instances of the above. The first should be bit, however the 2nd should be allowed. var byte*4 stopwatch_high_value at _stopwatch_count : 16
I do like the syntax you suggested, but there are other uses such as: This should be allowed because I may want to declare a nibble in the middle of a variable or array as follows: var bit*4 stopwatch_high_value at _stopwatch_count : 12 I do understand that ones like this could be complicated due to crossing a boundary. I think this does not work at the moment var byte stopwatch_high_value at _stopwatch_count : 4 If I wanted to do this currently, I would need to make a pseudo variable. What is more efficient, a pseudo variable or allowing the above? Thanks, Matt.
