#1596 __code initialized structures cause asm syntax error +patch

[Philip Gladstone]

When I compile the attached file with

sdcc -mpic14 -p12f675 test.c

I get a bunch of errors like:

test.asm:120:Error [103] syntax error
test.asm:121:Error [103] syntax error

I am using a pretty modern compiler:

SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/avr/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/xa51/ds400/hc08 2.9.5 #5608 (Dec 23 2009) (UNIX)

The problem appears to be that I have an array of structures which contain bitfields and I want these in __code memory. The generated code has syntax errors, but worse, if you add the missing newlines, it doesn't generate the correct values either.

Patch to fix problem

I've just uploaded a patch to resolve the problem. It works for my simple test case, and shouldn't break anything that currently works.
