Runtime object '_ICMP' in Bootloader code?

[dpaul]

Greetings!

Using CodeWarrior 5.9.0 for the MC9S0AC32 micro, I am using the pragmas 

#pragma MESSAGE WARNING C3605 // enable C3605 warning
<boot loader code here>

#pragma MESSAGE DISABLE C3605 // disable C3605 message

to signal if my boot loader code is making object calls outside the pragmas (which won't be there, of course, during boot loading).

Sure enough, I get  a couple of the following warnings:

Warning: : C3605: Runtime object '_ICMP' used at PC...

Has anyone any idea what _ICMP is and how I might rid myself of it (other that trying other random way of coding the same thing in hopes the call will disappear)?

Thanks for any comments!

PS:  i know!  I know!  Should have the boot loader in a separate app to avoid exactly this problem, but I'm stuck with this inherited approach.  Such is life!

See \lib\hc08c\src\rtshc08.c  . It's 16 bits integer compare routine. Try disassembling your code, then find which expression calls _ICMP and modify that expression slightly. On S08 16 bit integer compare is usually done using CPHX instruction.

Optimize for time may help with the integer comparison runtime.

Also try to code the 16 bit comparison with operand as constant or variable. When comparing 2 computed expressions, CPHX cannot be easily used.
