I use gpsim r1748 (roughly 0.21.12-pre) and SDCC r4440, when last I looked gpsim releases were rather outdated, maybe you should use the svn version as well? > The idea of the function below is that it outputs a pulse 1msec wide for > position = -1000 and 2msec wide for position = 1000. Checked your code with a main() that calls the given function with arguments of -1000, -500, 0, 500, and 1000, and set a breakpoint once the result of __divsint has been stored into the registers (address taken from .lst file). I then used 'trace 20' to obtain the past assignments of both result bytes and found they were totally reasonable 0x0000, 0x003e, 0x007d, 0x00bb, and 0x00fa respectively. Target PIC was a 16f877 (which one do you use?). ((Two side notes: If you put position + 1000 in an unsigned variable, SDCC should optimize the division to right shifts---and possibly hide your problem... Using 8u instead of 8 might also be required...)) You may want to inspect your .map files to see if you are out of memory; or if gputils have allocated some variables where they should not have been, possibly instructed by SDCC; or ... -- Regards, Raphael Neider ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
