HPTR Compiler Directive

None.

None.

In the memory models SMALL, XSMALL, and LARGE the default memory space is far.

Options — Target — Treat far pointers as huge pointer.

When HPTR is used the default memory space in the memory models SMALL, XSMALL, and LARGE is huge instead of far. This also implies that all pointer definitions are huge pointers when no explicit memory type is used.

LARGE, SMALL, XSMALL

C251 SAMPLE.C XSMALL HPTR
#pragma small HPTR

The following example:

stmt  level    source

   1           unsigned int *ptr;
   2           unsigned int i, j;
   3
   4           void test (void)  {
   5    1        i = ptr[j];
   6    1      }
