Dim Led_port As Byte
Config Porta.0 = Output
Config Porta.1 = Output
Config Porta.2 = Output
Config Porta.3 = Output
Config Portb.0 = Output
Config Portb.1 = Output
Config Portb.2 = Output
Config Portb.3 = Output
Led_port.0 Alias Porta.0
Led_port.1 Alias Porta.1
Led_port.2 Alias Porta.2
Led_port.3 Alias Porta.3
Led_port.4 Alias Portb.0
Led_port.5 Alias Portb.1
Led_port.6 Alias Portb.2
Led_port.7 Alias Portb.3
Porta.0 = 0
Porta.1 = 0
Porta.2 = 0
Porta.3 = 0
Portb.0 = 0
Portb.1 = 0
Portb.2 = 0
Portb.3 = 0
If defined like this, if &HF0 is set to Led_Port, the LED connected to PortB.0~3 is turned on, and if &H0F is set, the LED connected to PortA.0~3 is not turned on?
I just tested and the value is entered in the variable correctly, but the output does not go out to the port defined as ALias.
Please help from someone you know.
Thank you.
(BASCOM-AVR version : 2.0.7.8 , Latest : 2.0.8.3 )

Better try like this.
| Code: | Dim Led_port As Byte '0-3 PORTA 4-7 PORTB
Dim Helpb As Byte
Ddra = Ddra Or &B0000_1111 'A0-A3 Outputs
Ddrb = Ddrb Or &B0000_1111 'B0-B3 Outputs
'---
Helpb = Led_port And &B0000_1111
Porta = Porta Or Helpb 'set
Helpb = Led_port Or &B1111_0000
Porta = Porta And Helpb
Shift Led_port , Right , 4
Portb = Portb Or Led_port
Helpb = Led_port Or &B1111_0000
Portb = Portb And Helpb
'--- 75cycles 0.005ms
End |
Why not newest Bascom? |

Your code does not work and the simulator tells it. If you write something to the variable Led_port then nothing happens to the ports.
Thus your claim is wrong.
Long version:
As well the aliased var ('oldvar' in help) can reference a bit, the new name ('newvar') can not point to, respectively can not be named like an existing var.
An ALIAS is only a different name for the same variable or register-bit, the compiler knows which var to access.
It means also: you can NOT automatically link the variable with the port, as linking a variable with two ports requires additional code, which is not ALIAS's purpose.
Short version:
It won't work this way. |

Better not.
| Code: | Given:
Led_Port = &B1000_0100
PortA = &B0100_0010 |
| Code: | Exec:
Helpb = Led_port And &B0000_1111
'-> HelpB: &B0000_0100
Porta = Porta Or Helpb
'-> PortA: &B0100_0110 <- undesired intermediate state
Helpb = Led_port Or &B1111_0000
'-> HelpB: &B1111_0100
Porta = Porta And Helpb
'-> Porta: &B0100_0100 |
Even lasting only a few cycles, your code creates intermediate states on hardware, which can be avoided by using another temporary var and not misusing the Port as helper var. |

Thanks for your reply.
I didn't ask why the code I made didn't work, but if there is a possible way.
