LX51: Avoiding Warning 7 (Module Name Not Unique)

Information in this article applies to:

• C51 Version 7

QUESTION

I'm following the example in the document GENERAL: Calling Boot Loader Functions From User Application .

I've added the boot code (object file) to the main code with the option Link Publics Only.

However, I now receive the following linker message:

WARNING L7: MODULE NAME NOT UNIQUE

on the STARTUP module.

How can I avoid this warning?

ANSWER

You can give a different module name to the STARTUP file that is part of the main application by changing the source line:

NAME    ?C_STARTUP

to

NAME    ?C_STARTUP_MAIN

The assembler directive NAME defines the module name and avoids the name conflict at the linker level.

• Refer to NAME in the Ax51 User's Guide.
