C166: ERROR 185 (ATOMIC #5 OUT OF RANGE)

Information in this article applies to:

• C166 Version 3.12
• C166 Version 4.03

QUESTION

I'm using the _atomic_ (0) function and I receive the following error message:

*** ERROR 185 IN LINE 147 OF .\timer.c: atomic #5: out of range

How can I fix this?

ANSWER

This error message indicates that the code between the _atomic_ (0) and _endatomic_ functions is larger than 4 instructions. Atomic code can only be 4 instructions or less.

Reduce the amount of code that you want to make atomic or consider using the #pragma disable directive.

MORE INFORMATION

• Refer to _atomic_ in the C166 User's Guide.
