Summary: PORTAbits type definition only works with PIC16 port?

Initial Comment:
I tried SDCC version 6.0 both with the pic14 and the pic16 port. However with the pic16 port(i.e. for a 18f452, including pic18fregs.h) I can use e.g. PORTAbits.RA0 to set/read that . Instead, with pic14 the port(e.g. 16f84a including pic16regs.h) I cannot use such definition of PORTAbits, since the compiler couln't recognize the structure PORTAbits and I can't neither declare it by using the _at keyword to locate such structure at address 5.
Does somebody can help me?
Thanks, Regards

Thanks Raphael for yor advice, I'm sure I haven't got the right header for
the 16f84a, since it lacks the PORTA_bits and RA0 definitions.
Please consider this request as close, I will look for the updated
version.
Thanks again and Regards
Marco

Not sure where your problem is:
The header file for the pic16f84a.h tells you there is a struct PORTA_bits
defined (beware the underscore, though); and there are aliases (macros,
defines) set up for you to use RA0 instead of PORTA_bits.RA0 (in fact, the
latter will yield syntax errors unless you #undef RA0 beforehand).

If your pic16f84a.h differs in that these are not defined, just grab a
more recent version (nightly build, strongly recommended) and try again.
Or download just the required header file and library source
(device/lib/pic/libdev/pic16f84a.c) and link them into your project.

Please close this request if your problem is solved.

HTH,
Raphael


BTW: You cannot define objects at locations already used in other modules;
so all SFR related declarations should go into the pic16fXXX.[ch] files;
you may want to override the library versions with modified ones in your
project tree. In this case, just make sure to have -I. before the true
library path in your sdcc command line.
