register allocation

stefanodimasci1 — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:32:44 GMT

Hello,

I need to be sure that a register won't be used during register allocation in GCC because I need it for some assembly level checks. Does anybody know what kind of directive I have to put in codewarrior?

Thank you.

Hi Stefano,

Can you please let me know what is the development tool chain you're using and the Processor ?

Have a great day,

I'm using the deafult GNU toolchain on codewarrior for the MPC5643L.

Hi Stefano,

You're using CW for MCU v10.6 for MPC56XX.

Now If I understand correctly you request, you want to reserve a register.

I've found a note explaining how to do that in the \CW MCU v10.6.4\MCU\Help\PDF\MCU_Power-Architecture_Compiler.pdf manual.

Please have a look pages 258 - 261
