How to get a CPU register value in a c file?

[admin]

Hello,

I want to get the SP and IX value in a c file, how to do it?

Thanks.

Lower 16-bits of the SP you can get by the following code.

volatile unsigned int StackPtr;

asm(move.w SP,StackPtr);

Hello

You have to use inline assembly to retrieve value from a register in a C variable.

The assembler instructions then depends on the CPU you are targeting.

Well, it shouldn't be impossible to get the SP through ANSI C:

unsigned char* stackPtr;

{
volatile unsigned char foo;
stackPtr = &foo + sizeof(foo);
}


But I would still recommend inline asm in this case. And to get index registers etc, you must use it.
