C166 User's Guide

Advanced Programming

This section describes advanced programming information that experienced software engineers will find invaluable. Knowledge of most of these topics is not necessary to successfully create an embedded C16x/ST10 target program using the C166 Compiler. However, the following sections provide insight into how many non-standard procedures can be accomplished.

This section discusses the following topics:

• Files you may alter to customize the startup procedures.
• Files you may alter to customize run-time execution of several library routines.
• The conventions the C166 Compiler uses to name code and data segments.
• How to Interface the C166 functions to assembly routines.
• Data storage formats for different C166 data types.
• Different optimizing features of the C166 optimizing compiler.
