Weird results using floating point

[deneb]

Dear All
I am trying to run a couple of floating point operations and simply cannot get it working. Here is the simplest code:

float temp;
temp = 23/3.5;

After this instruction, the value of temp is 18724.582131

I am using CW 5.0.14.8093 for an HCS12NE64 microcontroller. I am using ansilf.lib.

Would anyone help me?

Thanks

Single precision float, of value 23/3.5 = ~6.5714285, read from memory as double, with any value of the second long word, is about  18724.5 .

I don't know what happens in your case, but it could be something like project settings (double and float sizes ) are incompatible with the libraries you are using.

Thanks kef. I figured it out by following the information in {CodeWarrior for HCS12 V4.7\lib\hc12c\readme.txt} file. It was some settings issue, as you mentioned, for the assembler. The following settings worked with ansil.lib file.

 -D_HCS12 -Ml  -W2 -Os -F2 -NoPath

However, I still cannot get ansilf.lib to work. I need it to use IEEE64 double values. Even when I put "-Cf", it gives the wrong results, which as I understand, is swapping the higher two bytes with the lower two bytes. Is it a bug?

Hello

I did some tests with CodeWarrior for HC12 V4.7.

The code is returning the appropriate result.

I would suggest you to create a new project using the project wizard.

Specify from the beginning you want to use 64-bit for double encoding and large memory model and then plug your code in there.

This should be working.

Hello CrasyCat

Creating an empty project and setting appropriate options in the wizard dialogs did the trick.

Thanks to everybody
