paged memory with __far and __rptr

[philipp_k]

Hello guys,

I am using a variable mapped to banked RAM:     char MyArray[5]

Now I am trying to create a pointer to this variable:  char  * __rptr  localArrPtr =  MyArray

Is this the right way ?

What is the difference between a __far pointer and a __rptr pointer ?

How do I call a function with that pointer ?

void editArray ( char index, char * __rptr ArrPtr)

Thanks for your help

Philipp

Hello

Attached application note from the {Install}\Help\PDF directory provides more details for the various type of pointers.

Basically rptr pointer are accessed using RPAGE register, whereas far pointer are accessed using GPAGE register.
