Read-Only Author Jon Ward Posted 18-Sep-2004 14:49 GMT Toolset C51	RE: problem with recursive function Jon Ward Did you declare the function using the reentrant keyword? C51 functions are not reentrant or recursive by default. Refer to the manual: http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/c51/c51_le_reentrantfuncs.htm And to this knowledgebase article: http://www.keil.com/support/docs/1861.htm Jon
Read-Only Author Andy Neil Posted 18-Sep-2004 15:33 GMT Toolset C51	RE: problem with recursive function Andy Neil "I am calling a function recursively.but it overwrite the locale variables of that function." As Jon says, that is because C51 functions are inherently not reentrant. It also says so in the Manual. For details of why this is so, read Application Note 129, Function Pointers in C51: http://www.keil.com/appnotes/docs/apnt_129.asp An the knowledgebase article C51 - PROBLEMS WITH FUNCTION POINTERS OVERWRITING VARIABLES: http://www.keil.com/support/docs/210.htm
