Would make Bascom 8051 very powerful indeed. C compilers supporting these data types are over £1500. |

the 8051 does not have much space for such a data type. it would only make sense when xram is used.
or how do you see this?
we will do some work on the 8051 soon to integrate new processors. and probably to face lift the IDE but that is a point of discussion.
while support for new processors is confirmed, the other work is not, we will evaluate the customer bare that still uses/upgrades the software before we do so.
of course users with deep pockets can always sponsor a feature

Thats true, but there is enough space in IRAM for 64 bit data types, if the programmer uses just a few of them, alternatively, I currently use Microchip AT89LP51RD2 which has 2kbyte of XRAM, it runs at 20mips and its available low cost and in 40pdil.
Also, I would also take this opportunity in saying, Bascom 8051 is the worlds best and leading basic compiler for the 8051. Why not make it even better?
Also, if you are going to do future updates for Bascom 8051, then please fix the exchange digit(xchd) and the (movx @R0,a movx a,@R0) instructions so that they are correctly interpreted by the compiler in asm end asm statements.
Cheers

Basсom-AVR has a rich selection of variable types.
Unfortunately, Basсom-8051 lacks the most needed variable types - Dword, and the ability to overlay variables |

i will see what i can do. the simplest wishes (short develop time and documentation) will be implemented first. it also depends on the number of users that need it.
note that wishes are best sent to support. while you might not get a direct answer it is the only place where it is monitored. i will check the forum too but i might overlook it.

Mark, we'll be looking forward to this addition to the compiler's capabilities!  |
