NVM_CONST Compiler Directive

NVMC

None.

The compiler assumes that const variables never change the value.

Options — C251 Compiler — Misc Controls.

The NVM_CONST directive causes that variables automatically are mapped to const volatile. All accesses to variables are therefore executed and the compiler no longer assumes that the value of a const variable is actually a constant. This directive is useful when you are using in-system Flash programming as it is typically for EEPROM memory.

#pragma NVM_CONST     // re-load const variables on each access

extern void isp_program (void);

int prog (void)  {
  unsigned char chk;
  const unsigned char far v = 1;

  chk = v;              // store 'v' for verification

  isp_program ();
  if (chk != v)  {      // reload 'v' even when 'const'
    return -1;
  }
  return 0;
}
