CCR Interrupt Mask Bit in C?

[BasePointer]

Hi,

How can I move CCR to my local variable in C?

I have to test I bit:

void foo()

{

   unsigned char before = CCR_I <---

   DisableInterrupts;

   ....

   ....

   if(before) EnableInterrupts;

}

10x

BP.

Hi BP,

Try the __isflag_int_enabled() function. It returns true if I = 0.

void foo()

{

   unsigned char before;
   before = __isflag_int_enabled();

   DisableInterrupts;

   ....

   ....

   if(before) EnableInterrupts;

}

Ps.: this is in my new book

Best regards,

Hi fabio,

The code below works for me.

Code:

#include "intrinsics_hc08.h"void foo(void){  unsigned char before = __isflag_int_enabled();    DisableInterrupts; /* disable interrupts */  ..  ...  if(before) EnableInterrupts; /* enable interrupts */  }

 

Thank you so much.

BP.

Hi all,

I have a query regarding Z bit in CCR. When the following is performed,

a= 10

b=10

if (a==b), then Z flag should be set to TRUE.

However as soon as the instruction is executed the Z flag is cleared, when any other statements in the code is executed. There are no decision statements which is executed after this.

As I am from a testing background, I expect Z flag to be set to TRUE, until next comparison is performed.

Please help me out on this.

Thanks,

Dharani

Hello Dharani,

If you examine the reference manual for the device you are using, you should observe that a large proportion of the assembly instructions will affect the status of the Z-flag, not just the compare instructions.

You would seem to have two choices within your C code -

1. Do the comparison each time a branch decision is required.
2. Assign the comparison result to a variable, and then test the value within the variable for each decision.

For the latter method:

byte a, b, c;

...

c = (a == b);  // Result is true or false

...

if (c)  {

  // Do something

}

Regards,

Mac

Hi,

As the CCR is stacked you could use a method similar to that proposed here.
Or you could add a little assembly like this:

PSHA
TPA
STA variable
PULA
