[Sdcc-user] problem with sdcc 2.3.4

[Royce & S. P. <be...@et...>]

Hi,
I have a working project which I had compiled successfully with 2.3.3.
But when I tried to compile the same project using sdcc 2.3.4 the same
command line options, sdcc complained I was 97 bytes short!

When I checked the asm file, I found this:

I have some arrays of pointers to functions like this:

void (*code do_gen[])()= { gen_rdy, gen_start, gen_flty, gen_fail, gen_on,
gen_stop };

In 2.3.3 this array was correctly initialised in code memory.
But in 2.3.4, the array is initialised in Data memory! I get:

_do_gen::
 .ds 12

and later....

;gates.c:2800: void (*code do_gen[])()=
;     genPointerSet
;     genNearPointerSet
;     genDataPointerSet
 mov _do_gen,#_gen_rdy
 mov (_do_gen + 1),#(_gen_rdy >> 8)
;     genPointerSet
;     genNearPointerSet
;     genDataPointerSet
 mov (_do_gen + 0x0002),#_gen_start
 mov ((_do_gen + 0x0002) + 1),#(_gen_start >> 8)
;     genPointerSet
etc.....

How to solve this problem using 2.3.4? This presents a problem to compile
old code with higher versions of sdcc.
Thanks,
