Call To Function '_asm' Without Prototype

I'd guess you're on the right track with sticking "void" in there somewhere. And it's not all C's fault - K&R didn't write the compiler/pre-processor/assembler/linker, or (sadly) spell out rules for them.

Yeah, but have you got a sack of spare semicolons and parentheses you can PM me?

I'm not quite so grumpy now... I haven't solved that prob, but I've at least found out how T F the compiler wants me to sort out the interrupt vectors.

One small step forward...

Thank you, I thought I was the only one who disliked C with passion.

'C' is for people who want to drive their car by climbing into the back and working the controls with a couple of broomsticks .

But seriously, I can see it's good for handling all the big stuff. But if you are designing the actual electronics, you have to control all the nitty gritty before worrying about the bigger picture.

Gimme assembler for control applications anyday.

Well, to be honest, gimme a Yew log and a drawknife... then I'm really happy

Back at the Dawn of Time, I wrote mountains (can't say "stacks" or "heaps" for fear of mis-interpretation) of C stuff with calls to assembler (when it needed to be v. fast or v. clever), to run on a Z80 (my design of board, so needed to access low lev I/O using asm). IIRC it was the ASTEC compiler+assembler. Worked like a dream. The output of the compiler was assembly code, so in extremis, this could be tweaked for speed before assembling & linking.

Checking the compiler manual (RTFM) I found this

asm

Syntax: asm {hex_value, hex_value, … }

Description: The asm keyword allows to insert some assembler (directly as hex numbers) in line with C code.

Examples: asm {0x8F}; // Wait For Interrupt (WFI)

Eh??? What??? diectly as hex numbers??? We were doing that on ZX81 s haven't they heard of mnemonics?

Yup, that's got the sucker... state of the arc software eh?

Have to say this sounds pretty poxy. What breed of compiler is it?

To be fair to 'em you can write it in mnemonics but only if it's in a separate file (groan).
The company is Raisonance (in France).
We used to have the Cosmic compiler which was fine, they gave away free 1k code version. We paid to be upgraded to the full function version.

Several years later the PC went dead, tried to put it on another PC. It wouldn't work, we contacted the company who were now in France not the UK.
We were virtually accused of pirating their software and treated like $hite, so I vowed I'd either go over there with my longbow or try another company.

It's all pretty typical of the service you get these days. Plenty of speil saying how good products are, but it's usually a triumph of presentation over content.

Gotta take all this in my stride I s'pose, as once I've crawled up the learning curve it will all be fine.
I just wish the learning curve hadn't been so thoroughly greased

Merde.

isn't the command CLI or something

Ta, but it's an STM8L101 chip.

I've solved this problem, but I'm sure there will be another along shortly.
