| PC incrementing over the Maximum PC address (SOLVED) |

Hi
The program below works OK in the MPLAB simulator but at the first time it gets to a break poit, the compiler is writing:
| Quote: | | CORE-W0014: Halted due to PC incrementing over the Maximum PC address and wrapping back to Zero |
When it gets to the break point again or to other break points, the sentence don't appear again.
| Code: | /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//CCS PCM C Compiler, Version 5.062, xxxxx
//PIC12F675 or PIC12F629 microcontroller
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <12F675.h>

#define flashled PIN_A5
int flashledCNT=0;
int timer1startCNT=0;

short eventA4value=0;
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#INT_TIMER1

{

flashledCNT++;
if(flashledCNT>=10)
{

output_toggle(flashled);
}
timer1startCNT++;
if((timer1startCNT>=20)&&(toggleA2timeF==1))//PIN_A toggle 1 second
{
disable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);
output_low(PIN_A2);//RFTX PWR OFF
toggleA2timeF=0;
}
if(timer1startCNT>=200)//flash LED 10 seconds
{
timer1startCNT=0;
disable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);//stops flash LED
onCNTstartF=0;
eventF=0;
}
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if((input(PIN_A3))||(input(PIN_A4)))
{

eventF=1;
toggleA2timeF=1;
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);
output_high(PIN_A2);//RFTX ON
}
else
{
eventA3value=input(PIN_A3);//for test only
eventA4value=input(PIN_A4);//for test only
delay_cycles(1);//for test only
}
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

void main()
{

enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER1);
onCNTstartF=1;
toggleA2timeF=1;
enable_interrupts(INT_TIMER0);
enable_interrupts(INT_RA);
enable_interrupts(GLOBAL);
while(TRUE)
{
if((onCNTstartF==0)&&(eventF==0))
{
SLEEP();
}
}
}

I out-commented almost all the program, the sentence is still there.
Also if I put a break point in the first line of the main the sentence appears.
Can somebody explain me what I am doing wrong?
Best wishes
Joe

First thing, a 'short' in CCS, is a one bit integer. Just 0 or 1.....
In CCS:
int, is 8bit
long is 16bit
short is 1bit.
This is because they kept to the original K&R defintions, which say that the default size for an integer, should be the native size for the hardware. So since the PIC is an 8bit processor, int is an int8.
This is also why it is better _not_ to use names (like short and long), but to be explicit on sizes, and use int8, int16 etc..
Then general comment. You should always put a 'nop' (delay_cycles(1)) as the instruction after a sleep. This instruction is 'prefetched' when the chip goes to sleep. If an interrupt occurs between the chip intending to sleep, and going to sleep, or something else affects the PC, this can result in the instruction being mishandled. |

Hi Ttelmah
Thanks you for the prompt answer and the advice.
* I put a delay_cycles(1); after the sleep.
* Changed the int definitions as bellow:
| Code: | int8 flashledCNT=0;
int8 timer1startCNT=0;
int1 onCNTstartF=0;
int1 eventF=0;
int1 toggleA2timeF=0;
int1 eventA3value=0;
int1 eventA4value=0; |
But the problem persists, at the first break point I am getting the same:
| Quote: | | CORE-W0014: Halted due to PC incrementing over the Maximum PC address and wrapping back to Zero |
This sentence affects the program when running?
I am using just 8 bit microcontrollers (18, 28, 40 pins) and I never got this sentence before. Maybe is something connected to the 8 pin microcontrollers?
Best wishes

The CORE-W0014 message from the MPLAB vs. 8.92 simulator is caused
by the program calling address 0x3FF to get the OSCCAL value.
I went to View / Program Memory and MPLAB places a RETLW 00
instruction there. So that's OK.
The 12F675 data sheet gives the reason why we get the message:
| Quote: |
4.7 Program Counter
As a program instruction is executed, the Program
Counter (PC) will contain the address of the next
program instruction to be executed.
|
One way to get rid of that message is to go to Debugger / Settings /
Break Options and set "Core (including stack)" warnings to Ignore. |

Thank you PCM programmer 
It makes the subject clear
Best wishes
