REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
Introduction
Regular Expressions are a widely-used method of specifying patterns of text to search for. Special metacharacters allow you to specify, for instance, that a particular string you are looking for, occurs at the beginning, or end of a line, or contains n recurrences of a certain character.
Simple matches
Any single character matches itself, unless it is a metacharacter with a special meaning described below. A series of characters matches that series of characters in the target string, so the pattern
"short" would match
"short" in the target string. You can cause characters that normally function as metacharacters or escape sequences to be interpreted by preceding them with a backslash
"\".
For instance, metacharacter
"^" matches beginning of string, but
"\^" matches character
"^", and
"\\" matches
"\", etc.
Examples : unsigned matches string
'unsigned'
\^unsigned matches string
'^unsigned'
Escape sequences
Characters may be specified using a escape sequences:
"\n" matches a newline,
"\t" a tab, etc. More generally,
\xnn
, where nn is a string of hexadecimal digits, matches the character whose ASCII value is nn.
If you need wide(Unicode)character code, you can use
'\x{nnnn}'
, where
'nnnn'
- one or more hexadecimal digits.
\xnn
- char with hex code nn
\x{nnnn)
- char with hex code nnnn
(one byte for plain text and two bytes for
Unicode)
\t
\n
- tab (HT/TAB), same as
\x09
- newline (NL), same as
\x0a
\r
\f
- car.return (CR), same as
\x0d
- form feed (FF), same as
\x0c
\a
- alarm (bell) (BEL), same as
\x07
\e
- escape (ESC) , same as
\x1b
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 69
CHAPTER 2
Environment mikroC for 8051
Examples: unsigned\x20int matches
'unsigned int'
(note space in the middle)
\tunsigned matches
'unsigned'
(predecessed by tab)
Character classes
You can specify a character class, by enclosing a list of characters in
[]
, which will match any of the characters from the list. If the first character after the
"[" is
"^"
, the class matches any character not in the list.
Examples: count[aeiou]r
' countcr'
, etc. finds strings
' countar'
,
' counter'
, etc. but not
' countbr', count[^aeiou]r finds strings
' countbr', 'countcr'
, etc. but not
' countar', 'counter
', etc.
Within a list, the
"-" character is used to specify a range, so that a-z represents all characters between
"a" and
"z"
, inclusive.
If you want
"-" itself to be a member of a class, put it at the start or end of the list, or escape it with a backslash.
If you want
']', you may place it at the start of list or escape it with a backslash.
Examples:
[-az] matches
'a', 'z' and
'-'
[az-] matches
'a', 'z' and
'-'
[a\-z] matches
'a', 'z' and
'-'
[a-z] matches all twenty six small characters from ' a ' to ' z '
[\n-\x0D] matches any of
#10,#11,#12,#13.
[\d-t] matches any digit,
'-' or ' t
'.
[]-a] matches any char from
']'..'a'.
Metacharacters
Metacharacters are special characters which are the essence of regular expressions.There are different types of metacharacters, described below.
70 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 2
Environment
Metacharacters - Line separators
^
- start of line
$
- end of line
\A
- start of text
\Z
- end of text
.
- any character in line
Examples:
^PORTA
- matches string '
PORTA
' only if it's at the beginning of line
PORTA$
- matches string '
PORTA
' only if it's at the end of line
^PORTA$
- matches string '
PORTA
' only if it's the only string in line
PORT.r
- matches strings like '
PORTA
', '
PORTB
', '
PORT1
' and so on
The
"^" metacharacter by default is only guaranteed to match beginning of the input string/text, and the
"$" metacharacter only at the end. Embedded line separators will not be matched by
"^" or
"$".
You may, however, wish to treat a string as a multi-line buffer, such that the
"^" will match after any line separator within the string, and
"$" will match before any line separator.
Regular expressons works with line separators as recommended at www.unicode.org ( http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/ ):
Metacharacters - Predefined classes
\w
- an alphanumeric character (including
"_"
)
\W
- a nonalphanumeric
\d
- a numeric character
\D
- a non-numeric
\s
- any space (same as
[\t\n\r\f]
)
\S
- a non space
You may use \w, \d and \s within custom character classes.
Example: routi\de
- matches strings like
'routi1e', 'routi6e' and so on, but not
'routine', 'routime' and so on.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 71
CHAPTER 2
Environment mikroC for 8051
Metacharacters - Word boundaries
A word boundary (
"\b"
) is a spot between two characters that has a
"\w" on one side of it and a
"\W" on the other side of it (in either order), counting the imaginary characters off the beginning and end of the string as matching a
"\W".
\b
- match a word boundary)
\B
- match a non-(word boundary)
Metacharacters - Iterators
Any item of a regular expression may be followed by another type of metacharacters - iterators. Using this metacharacters,you can specify number of occurences of previous character, metacharacter or subexpression.
*
- zero or more ("greedy"), similar to {0,}
+
?
- one or more ("greedy"), similar to {1,}
- zero or one ("greedy"), similar to {0,1}
{n}
- exactly n times ("greedy")
{n,}
- at least n times ("greedy")
{n,m}
- at least n but not more than m times ("greedy")
*?
- zero or more ("non-greedy"), similar to {0,}?
+?
- one or more ("non-greedy"), similar to {1,}?
??
- zero or one ("non-greedy"), similar to {0,1}?
{n}?
- exactly n times ("non-greedy")
{n,}?
- at least n times ("non-greedy")
{n,m}?
- at least n but not more than m times ("non-greedy")
So, digits in curly brackets of the form,
{n,m}
, specify the minimum number of times to match the item n and the maximum m
. The form
{n} is equivalent to
{n,n} and matches exactly n times. The form
{n,} matches n or more times. There is no limit to the size of n or m
, but large numbers will chew up more memory and slow down execution.
If a curly bracket occurs in any other context, it is treated as a regular character.

mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 2
Environment
Examples: count.*r ß
- matches strings like
' counter', 'countelkjdflkj9r' and
' countr' count.+r
- matches strings like '
counter', 'countelkjdflkj9r' but not
'countr' count.?r
- matches strings like
' foobar', 'foobbr' and ' foobr
' but not
' foobalkj9r' counte{2}r counte{2,}r
- matches string
'counteer'
- matches strings like
' counteer', 'counteeer'
,
'counteeer' etc. counte{2,3}r
- matches strings like
'counteer'
, or
'counteeer' but not ' counteeeer
'
A little explanation about "greediness". "Greedy" takes as many as possible, "nongreedy" takes as few as possible.
For example,
'b+' and
'b*' applied to string
'abbbbc' return
'bbbb', 'b+?' returns
'b', 'b*?' returns empty string,
'b{2,3}?' returns
'bb', 'b{2,3}' returns
'bbb'.
Metacharacters - Alternatives
You can specify a series of alternatives for a pattern using
"|" to separate them, so that fee|fie|foe will match any of
"fee", "fie"
, or
"foe" in the target string (as would f(e|i|o)e)
). The first alternative includes everything from the last pattern delimiter
("(", "[", or the beginning of the pattern) up to the first
"|", and the last alternative contains everything from the last
"|" to the next pattern delimiter.
For this reason, it's common practice to include alternatives in parentheses, to minimize confusion about where they start and end.
Alternatives are tried from left to right, so the first alternative found for which the entire expression matches, is the one that is chosen. This means that alternatives are not necessarily greedy. For example: when matching rou|rout against
"routine"
, only the
"rou" part will match, as that is the first alternative tried, and it successfully matches the target string (this might not seem important, but it is important when you are capturing matched text using parentheses.) Also remember that
"|" is interpreted as a literal within square brackets, so if you write
[fee|fie|foe]
You're really only matching
[feio|].
Examples: rou(tine|te)
- matches strings
'routine' or
'route'.

Metacharacters - Subexpressions
The bracketing construct
( ... ) may also be used for define regular subexpressions. Subexpressions are numbered based on the left to right order of their opening parenthesis. First subexpression has number
'1'
Examples:
(int){8,10} matches strings which contain 8, 9 or 10 instances of the
'int' routi([0-9]|a+)e matches
' routi0e', 'routi1e' , 'routine',
' routinne', 'routinnne' etc.
Metacharacters - Backreferences
Metacharacters
\1 through
\9 are interpreted as backreferences.
\ matches previously matched subexpression
#.
Examples:
(.)\1+ matches
'aaaa' and
'cc'
.
(.+)\1+ matches
' abab' and
' 123123'
(['"]?)(\d+)\1 matches
"13"
(in double quotes), or
'4'
(in single quotes) or
77
(without quotes) etc

PROJECTS
The mikroC 8051 organizes applications into projects, consisting of a single project file (extension .mcproj) and one or more source files (extension .c). MikroC for
8051 IDE allows you to manage multiple projects (see Project Manager). Source files can be compiled only if they are part of a project.
The project file contains the following information:
- project name and optional description,
- target device,
- memory model,
- device flags (config word),
- device clock,
- list of the project source files with paths,
- header files (*.h),
- binary files (*.mcl),
- image files,
- other files.
Note that the project does not include files in the same way as preprocessor does, see Add/Remove Files from Project.
NEW PROJECT
The easiest way to create a project is by means of the New Project Wizard, dropdown menu Project › New Project or by clicking the New Project Icon from
Project Toolbar.

SOFTWARE SIMULATOR OVERVIEW
The Source-level Software Simulator is an integral component of the mikroC for
8051 environment. It is designed to simulate operations of the 8051 MCUs and assist the users in debugging C code written for these devices.
After you have successfully compiled your project, you can run the Software
Simulator by selecting Run › Start Debugger from the drop-down menu, or by clicking the Start Debugger Icon from the Debugger Toolbar. Starting the
Software Simulator makes more options available: Step Into, Step Over, Step Out,
Run to Cursor, etc. Line that is to be executed is color highlighted (blue by default).
Note: The Software Simulator simulates the program flow and execution of instruction lines, but it cannot fully emulate 8051 device behavior, i.e. it doesn’t update timers, interrupt flags, etc.
Watch Window
The Software Simulator Watch Window is the main Software Simulator window which allows you to monitor program items while simulating your program. To show the Watch Window, select View › Debug Windows › Watch from the dropdown menu.
The Watch Window displays variables and registers of the MCU, along with their addresses and values.
There are two ways of adding variable/register to the watch list:
- by its real name (variable's name in "C" code). Just select desired variable/reg ister from Select variable from list drop-down menu and click the Add Button
- by its name ID (assembly variable name). Simply type name ID of the variable/register you want to display into Search the variable by assemby
name box and click the Add Button

Double clicking a variable or clicking the Properties Button opens the Edit Value window in which you can assign a new value to the selected variable/register. Also, you can choose the format of variable/register representation between decimal, hexadecimal, binary, float or character. All representations except float are unsigned by default. For signed representation click the check box next to the Signed label.
An item's value can be also changed by double clicking item's value field and typing the new value directly.
Stopwatch Window
The Software Simulator Stopwatch Window is available from the drop-down menu,
View › Debug Windows › Stopwatch.
The Stopwatch Window displays a current count of cycles/time since the last
Software Simulator action. Stopwatch measures the execution time (number of cycles) from the moment Software Simulator has started and can be reset at any time. Delta represents the number of cycles between the lines where Software
Simulator action has started and ended.
Note: The user can change the clock in the Stopwatch Window, which will recalculate values for the latest specified frequency. Changing the clock in the Stopwatch
Window does not affect actual project settings – it only provides a simulation.

CREATING NEW LIBRARY
mikroC for 8051 allows you to create your own libraries. In order to create a library in mikroC for 8051 follow the steps bellow:
1. Create a new C source file, see Managing Source Files
2. Save the file in the compiler's Uses folder:
DriveName:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\mikroC
8051\Uses\__Lib_Example.c
3. Write a code for your library and save it.
4. Add
__Lib_Example.c
file in some project, see Project Manager. Recompile the project.
5. Compiled file
__Lib_Example.mcl
should appear in
...\mikroC 8051\Uses\ folder.
6. Open the definition file for the MCU that you want to use. This file is placed in the compiler's Defs folder:
DriveName:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\mikroC 8051\Defs\ and it is named
MCU_NAME.mlk
, for example
AT89S8253.mlk
7. Add the
Library_Alias and
Library_Name at the end of the definition file, for example
#pragma SetLib([Example_Library, __Lib_Example])
8. Add Library to mlk file for each MCU that you want to use with your library.
9. Click Refresh button in Library Manager
Multiple Library Versions
Library Alias represents unique name that is linked to corresponding Library
.mcl
file. For example UART library for AT89S8253 is different from UART library for
AT89S4051 MCU. Therefore, two different UART Library versions were made, see mlk files for these two MCUs. Note that these two libraries have the same Library
Alias (UART) in both mlk files. This approach enables you to have identical representation of UART library for both MCUs in Library Manager.

CHAPTER 3
Specifics
PREDEFINED GLOBALS AND CONSTANTS
To facilitate programming of 8051 compliant MCUs, the mikroC for 8051 implements a number of predefined globals and constants.
All 8051 SFR registers are implicitly declared as global variables of volatile unsigned int. These identifiers have an external linkage, and are visible in the entire project. When creating a project, the mikroC for 8051 will include an appropriate
(*.c) file from defs folder, containing declarations of available
SFR registers and constants.
P0 = 1.
For a complete set of predefined globals and constants, look for “Defs” in the mikroC for 8051 installation folder, or probe the Code Assistant for specific letters
(Ctrl+Space in the Code Editor).
ACCESSING INDIVIDUAL BITS
The mikroC for 8051 allows you to access individual bits of 8-bit variables. It also supports sbit and bit data types
Accessing Individual Bits Of Variables
Simply use the direct member selector (.) with a variable, followed by one of identifiers
F0, F1, … , F15 with
F15 being the most significant bit.
There is no need of any special declarations. This kind of selective access is an intrinsic feature of mikroC for 8051 and can be used anywhere in the code.
Identifiers
F0–F15 are not case sensitive and have a specific namespace. You may override them with your own members
F0–F15 within any given structure.
If you are familiar with a particular MCU, you can also access bits by name:
// Clear TRISB3

sbit type
The mikroC Compiler have sbit data type which provides access to bit-addressable
SFRs. For example:
sbit LEDA at P0.B0;
sbit name at sfr-name.<Bbit-position>;
The previously declared SFR (sfr-name) is the base address for the sbit. It must be evenly divisible by 8. The bit-position (which must be a number from 0-7) follows the dot symbol ('.') and specifies the bit position to access. For example:
sbit OV = PSW.B2;
sbit CY = PSW.B7;
bit type
The mikroC Compiler provides a bit data type that may be used for variable declarations. It can not be used for argument lists, and function-return values.
bit bf; // bit variable
All bit variables are stored in a bit addressable portion 0x20-0x2F segment located in the internal memory area of the 8051. Because this area is only 16 bytes long, a maximum of 128 bit variables may be declared within any one scope.
There are no pointers to bit variables:
bit *ptr; // invalid
An array of type bit is not valid:
bit arr [5]; // invalid
Bit variables can not be initialized nor they can be members of structures and unions.

CHAPTER 3
Specifics
INTERRUPTS
8051 derivates acknowledges an interrupt request by executing a hardware generated LCALL to the appropriate servicing routine ISRs. ISRs are organized in IVT. ISR is defined as a standard function but with the org directive afterwards which connects the function with specific interrupt vector. For example org 0x000B is IVT address of Timer 0 Overflow interrupt source of the AT89S8253.
For more information on interrupts and IVT refer to the specific data sheet.
Function Calls from Interrupt
Calling functions from within the interrupt routine is allowed. The compiler takes care about the registers being used, both in "interrupt" and in "main" thread, and performs "smart" context-switching between them two, saving only the registers that have been used in both threads. It is not recommended to use function call from interrupt. In case of doing that take care of stack depth.
Interrupt Priority Level
8051 MCUs has possibilty to assign different priority level trough setting appropriate values to coresponding SFRs. You should also assign ISR same priority level by ilevel keyword followed by interrupt priority number.
Available interrupt priority levels are: 0 (default), 1, 2 and 3.
void Timer0ISR(void) org 0x000B ilevel 2 {
//set Timer0ISR to be ISR for Timer 0 Overflow priority level 2.
}

CHAPTER 3
Specifics mikroC for 8051
LINKER DIRECTIVES
The mikroC uses an internal algorithm to distribute objects within memory. If you need to have a variable or routine at specific predefined address, use the linker directives absolute and org.
Directive absolute
Directive absolute specifies the starting address in RAM for a variable. If the variable is multi-byte, higher bytes will be stored at the consecutive locations.
Directive absolute is appended to declaration of a variable:
short x absolute 0x22;
// Variable x will occupy 1 byte at address 0x22
int y absolute 0x23;
// Variable y will occupy 2 bytes at addresses 0x23 and 0x24
Be careful when using the absolute directive, as you may overlap two variables by accident. For example:
char i absolute 0x33;
// Variable i will occupy 1 byte at address 0x33
long jjjj absolute 0x30;
// Variable will occupy 4 bytes at 0x30, 0x31, 0x32, 0x33; thus,
// changing i changes jjjj highest byte at the same time, and vice versa
Directive org
Directive org specifies a starting address of a routine in ROM.
Directive org is appended to the function definition. Directives applied to non-defining declarations will be ignored, with an appropriate warning issued by the linker.
Here is a simple example:
void func(int par) org 0x200 {
// Function will start at address 0x200 nop;
}
Note: See also funcall pragma.

CHAPTER 3
Specifics
INDIRECT FUNCTION CALLS
If the linker encounters an indirect function call (by a pointer to function), it assumes that any of the functions addresses of which were taken anywhere in the program, can be called at that point. Use the
#pragma funcall directive to instruct the linker which functions can be called indirectly from the current function:
#pragma funcall <func_name> <called_func>[, <called_func>,...]
A corresponding pragma must be placed in the source module where the function func_name is implemented. This module must also include declarations of all functions listed in the called_func list.
These functions will be linked if the function func_name is called in the code no matter whether any of them was called or not.
Note: The #pragma funcall directive can help the linker to optimize function frame allocation in the compiled stack.
BUILT-IN ROUTINES
The mikroC for 8051 compiler provides a set of useful built-in utility functions.
The
Lo, Hi, Higher, Highest routines are implemented as macros. If you want to use these functions you must include built_in.h
header file (located in the inlclude folder of the compiler) into your project.
The
Delay_us and
Delay_ms routines are implemented as “inline”; i.e. code is generated in the place of a call, so the call doesn’t count against the nested call limit.
The
Vdelay_ms
,
Delay_Cyc and
Get_Fosc_kHz are actual C routines. Their sources can be found in

CODE OPTIMIZATION
Optimizer has been added to extend the compiler usability, cut down the amount of code generated and speed-up its execution. The main features are:
Constant folding
All expressions that can be evaluated in the compile time (i.e. are constant) are being replaced by their results. (3 + 5 -> 8);
Constant propagation
When a constant value is being assigned to a certain variable, the compiler recognizes this and replaces the use of the variable by constant in the code that follows, as long as the value of a variable remains unchanged.
Copy propagation
The compiler recognizes that two variables have the same value and eliminates one of them further in the code.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 109
CHAPTER 3
Specifics mikroC for 8051
Value numbering
The compiler "recognizes" if two expressions yield the same result and can therefore eliminate the entire computation for one of them.
"Dead code" ellimination
The code snippets that are not being used elsewhere in the programme do not affect the final result of the application. They are automatically removed.
Stack allocation
Temporary registers ("Stacks") are being used more rationally, allowing VERY complex expressions to be evaluated with a minimum stack consumption.
Local vars optimization
No local variables are being used if their result does not affect some of the global or volatile variables.
Better code generation and local optimization
Code generation is more consistent and more attention is payed to implement specific solutions for the code "building bricks" that further reduce output code size.

Types Efficiency
First of all, you should know that 8051 ALU, which performs arithmetic operations, is optimized for working with bytes. Although mikroC is capable of handling very complex data types, 8051 may choke on them, especially if you are working on some of the older models. This can dramatically increase the time needed for performing even simple operations. Universal advice is to use the smallest possible type in every situation. It applies to all programming in general, and doubly so with microcontrollers. Types efficiency is determined by the part of RAM memory that is used to store a variable/constant. See the example.
Nested Calls Limitations
There are no Nested Calls Limitations, except by RAM size. A Nested call represents a function call to another function within the function body. With each function call, the stack increases for the size of the returned address. Number of nested calls is equel to the capacity of RAM which is left out after allocation of all variables.
Note: There are many different types of derivates, so it is necessary to be familiar with characteristics and special features of the microcontroller in you are using.

8051 MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The 8051 microcontroller's memory is divided into Program Memory and Data
Memory. Program Memory (ROM) is used for permanent saving program being executed, while Data Memory (RAM) is used for temporarily storing and keeping intermediate results and variables.
Program Memory (ROM)
Program Memory (ROM) is used for permanent saving program (CODE) being executed. The memory is read only. Depending on the settings made in compiler, program memory may also used to store a constant variables. The 8051 executes programs stored in program memory only. code memory type specifier is used to refer to program memory.
8051 memory organization alows external program memory to be added.

Internal Data Memory
Up to 256 bytes of internal data memory are available depending on the 8051 derivative. Locations available to the user occupy addressing space from 0 to 7Fh, i.e.
first 128 registers and this part of RAM is divided in several blocks. The first 128 bytes of internal data memory are both directly and indirectly addressable. The upper 128 bytes of data memory (from 0x80 to 0xFF) can be addressed only indirectly.
Since internal data memory is used for CALL stack also and there is only 256 bytes splited over few different memory areas fine utilizing of this memory is crucial for fast and compact code. See types efficiency also.
Memory block in the range of 20h to 2Fh is bit-addressable, which means that each bit being there has its own address from 0 to 7Fh. Since there are 16 such registers, this block contains in total of 128 bits with separate addresses ( Bit 0 of byte 20h has the bit address 0, and bit 7 of byte 2Fh has the bit address 7Fh).
Three memory type specifiers can be used to refer to the internal data memory: data, idata, and bdata.

CHAPTER 4
8051 Specifics
External Data Memory
Access to external memory is slower than access to internal data memory. There may be up to 64K Bytes of external data memory. Several 8051 devices provide onchip XRAM space that is accessed with the same instructions as the traditional external data space. This XRAM space is typically enabled via proper setting of SFR register and overlaps the external memory space. Setting of that register must be manualy done in code, before any access to external memory or XRAM space is made.
The mikroC for 8051 has two memory type specifiers that refers to external memory space: xdata and pdata
.
SFR Memory
The 8051 provides 128 bytes of memory for Special Function Registers (SFRs).
SFRs are bit, byte, or word-sized registers that are used to control timers, counters, serial I/O, port I/O, and peripherals.
Refer to Special Function Registers for more information. See sbit also.

8051 Specifics mikroC for 8051
MEMORY MODELS
The memory model determines the default memory type to use for function arguments, automatic variables, and declarations that include no explicit memory type.
The mikroC for 8051 provides three memory models:
- Small
- Compact
- Large
You may also specify the memory model on a function-by-function basis by adding the memory model to the function declaration.
Small memory model generates the fastest, most efficient code. This is default memory model. You may override the default memory type imposed by the memory model by explicitly declaring a variable with a memory type specifier.
Small model
In this model, all variables, by default, reside in the internal data memory of the
8051 system—as if they were declared explicitly using the data memory type specifier.
In this memory model, variable access is very efficient. However, all objects (that are not explicitly located in another memory area) and the call stack must fit into the internal RAM.
Call Stack size is critical because the stack space used depends on the nesting depth of the various functions.
Compact model
Using the compact model, by default, all variables are allocated in a single page 256 bytes of external data memory of the 8051 system—as if they were explicitly declared using the pdata memory type specifier. This memory model can accommodate a maximum of 256 bytes of variables. The limitation is due to the addressing scheme used which is indirect through registers R0 and R1 (@R0, @R1). This memory model is not as efficient as the small model and variable access is not as fast. However, the compact model is faster than the large model. mikroC for 8051 uses the @R0 and @R1 operands to acess external memory with instructions that use 8 bit wide pointers and provide only the low-order byte of the address. The highorder address byte (or page) is provided by Port 2 on most 8051 derivates (see data sheet for details).

Large model
In the large model all variables reside in external data memory (which may be up to
64K Bytes). This is the same as if they were explicitly declared using the xdata memory type specifier. The DPTR is used to address external memory. Instruction set is not optimized for this memory model(access to external memory) so it neeeds more code than the small or compact model to manipulate with the variables.
char xadd(char a1,char a2 ) large{ //allocate parameters and local variables in xdata space
return a1 + a2;

MEMORY TYPE SPECIFIERS
The mikroC for 8051 supports usage of all memory areas. Each variable may be explicitly assigned to a specific memory space by including a memory type specifier in the declaration, or implicitly assigned (based on a memory model).
The following memory type specifiers can be used:
- code
- data
- idata
- bdata
- xdata
- pdata
Memory type specifiers can be included in svariable declaration.
For example: char data data_buffer;
// puts data_buffer in data ram
const char code txt[] = "ENTER PARAMETER:";
// puts text in program memory
unsigned long xdata array[100];
// puts array in external memory float idata ibuffer;

LEXICAL ELEMENTS OVERVIEW
The following topics provide a formal definition of the mikroC for 8051 lexical elements. They describe different categories of word-like units (tokens) recognized by the mikroC for 8051.
In the tokenizing phase of compilation, the source code file is parsed (that is, broken down) into tokens and whitespace. The tokens in the mikroC for 8051 are derived from a series of operations performed on your programs by the compiler and its built-in preprocessor.
122 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
WHITESPACE
Whitespace is a collective name given to spaces (blanks), horizontal and vertical tabs, newline characters and comments. Whitespace can serve to indicate where tokens start and end, but beyond this function, any surplus whitespace is discarded.
For example, two sequences
int i; float f; and int i;
float f; are lexically equivalent and parse identically to give six tokens: int i f
;
; float
Whitespace in Strings
The ASCII characters representing whitespace can occur within string literals. In that case they are protected from the normal parsing process (they remain as a part of the string). For example,
char name[] = "mikro foo"; parses into seven tokens, including a single string literal token: char
]
= name
[
"mikro foo" /* just one token here! */
;
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 123
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Line Splicing with Backslash (\)
A special case occurs if a line ends with a backslash (\). Both backslash and new line character are discarded, allowing two physical lines of a text to be treated as one unit. So, the following code
"mikroC \
Compiler" parses into
"mikroC Compiler"
. Refer to String Constants for more information.
COMMENTS
Comments are pieces of a text used to annotate a program and technically are another form of whitespace. Comments are for the programmer’s use only; they are stripped from the source text before parsing. There are two ways to delineate comments: the C method and the C++ method. Both are supported by mikroC for 8051.
You should also follow the guidelines on the use of whitespace and delimiters in comments, discussed later in this topic to avoid other portability problems.
C comments
C comment is any sequence of characters placed after the symbol pair
/*.
The comment terminates at the first occurance of the pair
*/ following the initial
/*.
The entire sequence, including four comment-delimiter symbols, is replaced by one space after macro expansion.
In the mikroC for 8051,
int /* type */ i /* identifier */; parses as:
int i;
Note that the mikroC for 8051 does not support a nonportable token pasting strategy using
/**/.
For more information on token pasting, refer to the Preprocessor
Operators.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
C++ comments
The mikroC for 8051 allows single-line comments using two adjacent slashes
(//).
The comment can start in any position and extends until the next new line.
The following code
int i; // this is a comment
int j; parses as:
int i;
int j;
Nested comments
ANSI C doesn’t allow nested comments. The attempt to nest a comment like this
/* int /* declaration */ i; */ fails, because the scope of the first
/* ends at the first
*/.
This gives us i ; */ which would generate a syntax error.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
TOKENS
Token is the smallest element of a C program that compiler can recognize. The parser separates tokens from the input stream by creating the longest token possible using the input characters in a left–to–right scan.
The mikroC for 8051 recognizes the following kinds of tokens:
- keywords
- identifiers
- constants
- operators punctuators (also known as separators)
Tokens can be concatenated (pasted) by means of the preprocessor operator
##.
See the Preprocessor Operators for details.
Token Extraction Example
Here is an example of token extraction. Take a look at the following example code sequence: inter = a+++b;
First, note that inter would be parsed as a single identifier, rather than as the keyword int followed by the identifier er.
The programmer who has written the code might have intended to write inter = a
+ (++b)
, but it wouldn’t work that way. The compiler would parse it into the seven following tokens: inter // variable identifier
= // assignment operator a // variable identifier
++ // postincrement operator
+ // addition operator b // variable identifier
; // statement terminator
Note that
+++ parses as
++
(the longest token possible) followed by
+.

CONSTANTS
Constants or literals are tokens representing fixed numeric or character values.
The mikroC for 8051 supports:
- integer constants
- floating point constants
- character constants
- string constants (strings literals)
- enumeration constants
The data type of a constant is deduced by the compiler using such clues as a numeric value and format used in the source code.
INTEGER CONSTANTS
Integer constants can be decimal (base 10), hexadecimal (base 16), binary (base 2), or octal (base 8). In the absence of any overriding suffixes, the data type of an integer constant is derived from its value.
Long and Unsigned Suffixes
The suffix
L
(or l
) attached to any constant forces that constant to be represented as a long
. Similarly, the suffix
U
(or u
) forces a constant to be unsigned. Both
L and
U suffixes can be used with the same constant in any order or case: ul
,
Lu
,
UL
, etc.
In the absence of any suffix (
U, u,
L, or l
), a constant is assigned the “smallest” of the following types that can accommodate its value: short, unsigned short, int, unsigned int, long int, unsigned long int.
Otherwise:
- If a constant has the U suffix, its data type will be the first of the following that can accommodate its value: unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long int.
- If a constant has the L suffix, its data type will be the first of the following that can accommodate its value: long int, unsigned long int.
- If a constant has both L and U suffixes, (LU or UL), its data type will be unsigned long int.

Decimal
Decimal constants from -2147483648 to 4294967295 are allowed. Constants exceeding these bounds will produce an “Out of range” error. Decimal constants must not use an initial zero. An integer constant that has an initial zero is interpreted as an octal constant. Thus,
int i = 10; /* decimal 10 */
int i = 010; /* decimal 8 */
int i = 0; /* decimal 0 = octal 0 */
In the absence of any overriding suffixes, the data type of a decimal constant is derived from its value, as shown below:
Value Assigned to Constant
< -2147483648
-2147483648 – -32769
-32768 – -129
-128 – 127
128 – 255
256 – 32767
32768 – 65535

2147483648 – 4294967295
> 4294967295
Assumed Type
Error: Out of range!
long int short unsigned short int unsigned int long unsigned long
Error: Out of range!
Hexadecimal
All constants starting with
0x
(or
0X
) are taken to be hexadecimal. In the absence of any overriding suffixes, the data type of an hexadecimal constant is derived from its value, according to the rules presented above. For example,
0xC367 will be treated as unsigned int.

mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Binary
All constants starting with
0b
(or
0B
) are taken to be binary. In the absence of any overriding suffixes, the data type of an binary constant is derived from its value, according to the rules presented above. For example,
0b11101 will be treated as short
.
Octal
All constants with an initial zero are taken to be octal. If an octal constant contains the illegal digits 8 or 9, an error is reported. In the absence of any overriding suffixes, the data type of an octal constant is derived from its value, according to the rules presented above. For example,
0777 will be treated as int
.
FLOATING POINT CONSTANTS
A floating-point constant consists of:
- Decimal integer
- Decimal point
- Decimal fraction
- e or
E and a signed integer exponent (optional)
- Type suffix: f or
F or l or
L
(optional)
Either decimal integer or decimal fraction (but not both) can be omitted. Either decimal point or letter e (or
E
) with a signed integer exponent (but not both) can be omitted. These rules allow conventional and scientific (exponent) notations.
Negative floating constants are taken as positive constants with an unary operator minus (-) prefixed.
The mikroC for 8051 limits floating-point constants to the range ±1.17549435082 *
10-38 .. ±6.80564774407 * 1038.
Here are some examples:
0. // = 0.0
-1.23 // = -1.23
23.45e6 // = 23.45 * 10^6
2e-5 // = 2.0 * 10^-5
3E+10 // = 3.0 * 10^10
.09E34 // = 0.09 * 10^34
The mikroC for 8051 floating-point constants are of the type double
. Note that the mikroC for 8051’s implementation of ANSI Standard considers float and double
(together with the long double variant) to be the same type.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 129
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
CHARACTER CONSTANTS
A character constant is one or more characters enclosed in single quotes, such as
'A', '+', or '\n'
. In the mikroC for 8051, single-character constants are of the unsigned int type. Multi-character constants are referred to as string constants or string literals. For more information refer to String Constants.
Escape Sequences
A backslash character
(\) is used to introduce an escape sequence, which allows a visual representation of certain nongraphic characters. One of the most common escape constants is the newline character
(\n)
.
A backslash is used with octal or hexadecimal numbers to represent an ASCII symbol or control code corresponding to that value; for example,
'\x3F' for the question mark. Any value within legal range for data type char (
0 to
0xFF for the mikroC for 8051) can be used. Larger numbers will generate the compiler error “Out of range”.
For example, the octal number
\777 is larger than the maximum value allowed
(\377) and will generate an error. The first nonoctal or nonhexadecimal character encountered in an octal or hexadecimal escape sequence marks the end of the sequence.
Note: You must use the sequence \\ to represent an ASCII backslash, as used in operating system paths.
The following table shows the available escape sequences:

Disambiguation
Some ambiguous situations might arise when using escape sequences.
Here is an example:
Lcd_Out_Cp("\x091.0 Intro");
This is intended to be interpreted as
\x09 and
"1.0 Intro"
. However, the mikroC for 8051 compiles it as the hexadecimal number
\x091 and literal string
".0
Intro"
. To avoid such problems, we could rewrite the code in the following way:
Lcd_Out_Cp("\x09" "1.0 Intro");
For more information on the previous line, refer to String Constants.
Ambiguities might also arise if an octal escape sequence is followed by a nonoctal digit. For example, the following constant:
"\118" would be interpreted as a two-character constant made up of the characters
\11 and
8
, because
8 is not a legal octal digit.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
STRING CONSTANTS
String constants, also known as string literals, are a special type of constants which store fixed sequences of characters. A string literal is a sequence of any number of characters surrounded by double quotes:
"This is a string."
The null string, or empty string, is written like
"".
A literal string is stored internally as a given sequence of characters plus a final null character. A null string is stored as a single null character.
The characters inside the double quotes can include escape sequences. This code, for example:
"\t\"Name\"\\\tAddress\n\n" prints like this:
"Name"\ Address
The "Name" is preceded by two tabs; The Address is preceded by one tab. The line is followed by two new lines. The
\" provides interior double quotes. The escape character sequence
\\ is translated into
\ by the compiler.
Adjacent string literals separated only by whitespace are concatenated during the parsing phase. For example:
"This is " "just"
" an example." is equivalent to
"This is just an example."
Line Continuation with Backslash
You can also use the backslash
(\) as a continuation character to extend a string constant across line boundaries:
"This is really \ a one-line string."

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
ENUMERATION CONSTANTS
Enumeration constants are identifiers defined in enum type declarations. The identifiers are usually chosen as mnemonics to contribute to legibility. Enumeration constants are of int type. They can be used in any expression where integer constants are valid.
For example:
enum weekdays { SUN = 0, MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, SAT };
The identifiers (enumerators) used must be unique within the scope of the enum declaration. Negative initializers are allowed. See Enumerations for details about enum declarations.
POINTER CONSTANTS
A pointer or pointed-at object can be declared with the const modifier. Anything declared as const cannot change its value. It is also illegal to create a pointer that might violate a non-assignability of the constant object.
Consider the following examples:
int i; // i is an int
int * pi; // pi is a pointer to int
(uninitialized)
int * const cp = &i; // cp is a constant pointer to int
const int ci = 7; // ci is a constant int
const int * pci; // pci is a pointer to constant int
const int * const cpc = &ci; // cpc is a constant pointer to a
// constant int
The following assignments are legal: i = ci; // Assign const-int to int
*cp = ci; // Assign const-int to
// object-pointed-at-by-a- const-pointer
++pci; // Increment a pointer-to-const pci = cpc; // Assign a const-pointer-to-a- const to a
// pointer-to-const
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 133
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
The following assignments are illegal: ci = 0; // NO--cannot assign to a const-int ci--; // NO--cannot change a const-int
*pci = 3; // NO--cannot assign to an object
// pointed at by pointer-to-const.
cp = &ci; // NO--cannot assign to a const-pointer,
// even if value would be unchanged.
cpc++; // NO--cannot change const-pointer pi = pci; // NO--if this assignment were allowed,
// you would be able to assign to *pci
// (a const value) by assigning to *pi.
Similar rules are applayed to the volatile modifier. Note that both const and volatile can appear as modifiers to the same identifier.
CONSTANT EXPRESSIONS
A constant expressions can be evaluated during translation rather that runtime and accordingly may be used in any place that a constant may be.
Constant expressions can consist only of the following:
- literals,
- enumeration constants,
- simple constants (no constant arrays or structures),
- sizeof operators.
Constant expressions cannot contain any of the following operators, unless the operators are contained within the operand of a sizeof operator: assignment, comma, decrement, function call, increment.
Each constant expression can evaluate to a constant that is in the range of representable values for its type.
Constant expression can be used anywhere a constant is legal.

IDENTIFIERS
Identifiers are arbitrary names of any length given to functions, variables, symbolic constants, user-defined data types, and labels. All these program elements will be referred to as objects throughout the help (don't get confused with the meaning of object in object-oriented programming).
Identifiers can contain the letters a to z and A to Z, underscore character “_”, and digits 0 to 9. The only restriction is that the first character must be a letter or an underscore.
Case Sensitivity
The mikroC for 8051 identifiers are not case sensitive by default, so that
Sum
, sum
, and suM represent an equivalent identifier. Case sensitivity can be activated or suspended in Output Settings window. Even if case sensitivity is turned off Keywords remain case sensitive and they must be written in lower case.
Uniqueness and Scope
Although identifier names are arbitrary (according to the stated rules), if the same name is used for more than one identifier within the same scope and sharing the same name space then error arises. Duplicate names are legal for different name spaces regardless of scope rules. For more information on scope, refer to Scope and
Visibility.

PUNCTUATORS
The mikroC for 8051 punctuators (also known as separators) are:
- [ ] – Brackets
- ( ) – Parentheses
- { } – Braces
- , – Comma
- ; – Semicolon
- : – Colon
- * – Asterisk
- = – Equal sign
- # – Pound sign
Most of these punctuators also function as operators.
Brackets
Brackets
[ ] indicate single and multidimensional array subscripts:
char ch, str[] = "mikro";
int mat[3][4]; /* 3 x 4 matrix */ ch = str[3]; /* 4th element */Parentheses
Parentheses
( ) are used to group expressions, isolate conditional expressions, and indicate function calls and function parameters: d = c * (a + b); /* override normal precedence */
if (d == z) ++x; /* essential with conditional statement */ func(); /* function call, no args */
void func2(int n); /* function declaration with parameters */
Parentheses are recommended in macro definitions to avoid potential precedence problems during an expansion:
#define CUBE(x) ((x) * (x) * (x))

Expressions.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 137
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Braces
Braces { } indicate the start and end of a compound statement:
if (d == z) {
++x; func();
}
Closing brace serves as a terminator for the compound statement, so a semicolon is not required after }, except in structure declarations. Sometimes, the semicolon can be illegal, as in
if (statement)
{ ... }; /* illegal semicolon! */ else
{ ... };
For more information, refer to the Compound Statements.
Comma
Comma (,) separates the elements of a function argument list:
void func(int n, float f, char ch);
Comma is also used as an operator in comma expressions. Mixing two uses of comma is legal, but you must use parentheses to distinguish them. Note that (exp1, exp2) evalutates both but is equal to the second: func(i, j); /* call func with two args */ func((exp1, exp2), (exp3, exp4, exp5)); /* also calls func with two args! */
Semicolon
Semicolon (;) is a statement terminator. Any legal C expression (including the empty expression) followed by a semicolon is interpreted as a statement, known as an expression statement. The expression is evaluated and its value is discarded. If the expression statement has no side effects, the mikroC for 8051 might ignore it.
a
+ b; /* Evaluate a + b, but discard value */
++a; /* Side effect on a, but discard value of ++a */
; /* Empty expression, or a null statement */

Semicolons are sometimes used to create an empty statement:
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) ;
For more information, see the Statements.
Colon
Use colon
(:) to indicate the labeled statement: start: x = 0;
...
goto start;
Labels are discussed in the Labeled Statements.
Asterisk (Pointer Declaration)
Asterisk (*) in a variable declaration denotes the creation of a pointer to a type:
char *char_ptr; /* a pointer to char is declared */
Pointers with multiple levels of indirection can be declared by indicating a pertinent number of asterisks:
int **int_ptr; /* a pointer to an array of integers */
double ***double_ptr; /* a pointer to a matrix of doubles */
You can also use asterisk as an operator to either dereference a pointer or as multiplication operator: i = *int_ptr; a = b * 3.14;
For more information, see the Pointers.
Equal Sign
Equal sign (=) separates variable declarations from initialization lists:
int test[5] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
int x = 5;
Equal sign is also used as an assignment operator in expressions:

Pound Sign (Preprocessor Directive)
Pound sign
(#) indicates a preprocessor directive when it occurs as the first nonwhitespace character on a line. It signifies a compiler action, not necessarily associated with a code generation. See the Preprocessor Directives for more information.
# and
## are also used as operators to perform token replacement and merging during the preprocessor scanning phase. See the Preprocessor Operators.
CONCEPTS
This section covers some basic concepts of language, essential for understanding of how C programs work. First, we need to establish the following terms that will be used throughout the help:
- Objects and lvalues
- Scope and Visibility
- Name Spaces
- Duration
OBJECTS
An object is a specific region of memory that can hold a fixed or variable value (or set of values). This use of a term object is different from the same term, used in object-oriented languages, which is more general. Our definiton of the word would encompass functions, variables, symbolic constants, user-defined data types, and labels.
Each value has an associated name and type (also known as a data type). The name is used to access the object and can be a simple identifier or complex expression that uniquely refers the object.
140 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Objects and Declarations
Declarations establish a necessary mapping between identifiers and objects. Each declaration associates an identifier with a data type.
Associating identifiers with objects requires each identifier to have at least two attributes: storage class and type (sometimes referred to as data type). The mikroC for 8051 compiler deduces these attributes from implicit or explicit declarations in the source code. Usually, only the type is explicitly specified and the storage class specifier assumes the automatic value auto
.
Generally speaking, an identifier cannot be legally used in a program before its declaration point in the source code. Legal exceptions to this rule (known as forward references) are labels, calls to undeclared functions, and struct or union tags.
The range of objects that can be declared includes:
- Variables
- Functions
- Types
- Arrays of other types
- Structure, union, and enumeration tags
- Structure members
- Union members
- Enumeration constants
- Statement labels
- Preprocessor macros
The recursive nature of the declarator syntax allows complex declarators. You’ll probably want to use typedefs to improve legibility if constructing complex objects.
Lvalues
Lvalue is an object locator: an expression that designates an object. An example of lvalue expression is
*P
, where
P is any expression evaluating to a non-null pointer.
A modifiable lvalue is an identifier or expression that relates to an object that can be accessed and legally changed in memory. A const pointer to a constant, for example, is not a modifiable lvalue. A pointer to a constant can be changed (but its dereferenced value cannot).
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 141
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Historically, l stood for “left”, meaning that lvalue could legally stand on the left
(the receiving end) of an assignment statement. Now only modifiable lvalues can legally stand to the left of an assignment operator. For example, if a and b are nonconstant integer identifiers with properly allocated memory storage, they are both modifiable lvalues, and assignments such as a = 1 and b = a + b are legal.
Rvalues
The expression a + b is not lvalue: a + b = a is illegal because the expression on the left is not related to an object. Such expressions are sometimes called rvalues
(short for right values).
SCOPE AND VISIBILITY
Scope
The scope of an identifier is a part of the program in which the identifier can be used to access its object. There are different categories of scope: block (or local), function, function prototype, and file. These categories depend on how and where identifiers are declared.
- Block: The scope of an identifier with block (or local) scope starts at the decl aration point and ends at the end of the block containing the declaration (such block is known as the enclosing block). Parameter declarations with a function definition also have block scope, limited to the scope of the function body.
- File: File scope identifiers, also known as globals, are declared outside of all blocks; their scope is from the point of declaration to the end of the source file.
- Function: The only identifiers having function scope are statement labels.
Label names can be used with goto statements anywhere in the function in which the label is declared. Labels are declared implicitly by writing label_name
: followed by a statement. Label names must be unique within a function.
- Function prototype: Identifiers declared within the list of parameter declara tions in a function prototype (not as a part of a function definition) have a function prototype scope. This scope ends at the end of the function prototype.
Visibility
The visibility of an identifier is a region of the program source code from which an identifier’s associated object can be legally accessed.
142 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Scope and visibility usually coincide, though there are circumstances under which an object becomes temporarily hidden by the appearance of a duplicate identifier: the object still exists but the original identifier cannot be used to access it until the scope of the duplicate identifier ends.
Technically, visibility cannot exceed a scope, but a scope can exceed visibility. See the following example:
void f (int i) {
int j; // auto by default j = 3; // int i and j are in scope and visible
}
{ // nested block
double j; // j is local name in the nested block j = 0.1; // i and double j are visible;
// int j = 3 in scope but hidden
}
// double j out of scope j += 1; // int j visible and = 4
// i and j are both out of scope
NAME SPACES
Name space is a scope within which an identifier must be unique. The mikroC for
8051 uses four distinct categories of identifiers:
1.goto label names - must be unique within the function in which they are declared.
2.Structure, union, and enumeration tags - must be unique within the block in which they are defined. Tags declared outside of any function must be unique.
3.Structure and union member names - must be unique within the structure or union in which they are defined. There is no restriction on the type or offset of members with the same member name in different structures.
4.Variables, typedefs, functions, and enumeration members - must be unique within the scope in which they are defined. Externally declared identifiers must be unique among externally declared variables.
Duplicate names are legal for different name spaces regardless of the scope rules.
For example:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 143
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
int blue = 73;
{ // open a block
enum colors { black, red, green, blue, violet, white } c;
/* enumerator blue = 3 now hides outer declaration of int blue */
struct colors { int i, j; }; // ILLEGAL: colors duplicate tag
double red = 2; // ILLEGAL: redefinition of red
} blue = 37; // back in int blue scope
DURATION
Duration, closely related to a storage class, defines a period during which the declared identifiers have real, physical objects allocated in memory. We also distinguish between compile-time and run-time objects. Variables, for instance, unlike typedefs and types, have real memory allocated during run time. There are two kinds of duration: static and local.
Static Duration
Memory is allocated to objects with static duration as soon as execution is underway; this storage allocation lasts until the program terminates. Static duration objects usually reside in fixed data segments allocated according to the memory model in force. All globals have static duration. All functions, wherever defined, are objects with static duration. Other variables can be given static duration by using the explicit static or extern storage class specifiers.
In the mikroC for 8051, static duration objects are not initialized to zero (or null) in the absence of any explicit initializer.
Don’t mix static duration with file or global scope. An object can have static duration and local scope – see the example below.
Local Duration
Local duration objects are also known as automatic objects. They are created on the stack (or in a register) when an enclosing block or a function is entered. They are deallocated when the program exits that block or function. Local duration objects must be explicitly initialized; otherwise, their contents are unpredictable
144 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
The storage class specifier auto can be used when declaring local duration variables, but it is usually redundant, because auto is default for variables declared within a block.
An object with local duration also has local scope because it does not exist outside of its enclosing block. On the other hand, a local scope object can have static duration. For example:
void f() {
/* local duration variable; init a upon every call to f */
int a = 1;
/* static duration variable; init b only upon first call to f */
static int b = 1;
/* checkpoint! */ a++; b++;
}
void main() {
/* At checkpoint, we will have: */ f(); // a=1, b=1, after first call, f(); // a=1, b=2, after second call, f(); // a=1, b=3, after third call,
// etc.
}
TYPES
The mikroC for 8051 is a strictly typed language, which means that every object, function, and expression must have a strictly defined type, known in the time of compilation. Note that the mikroC for 8051 works exclusively with numeric types.
The type serves:
- to determine the correct memory allocation required initially.
- to interpret the bit patterns found in the object during subsequent access.
- in many type-checking situations, to ensure that illegal assignments are trapped.
The mikroC for 8051 supports many standard (predefined) and user-defined data types, including signed and unsigned integers in various sizes, floating-point numbers with various precisions, arrays, structures, and unions. In addition, pointers to most of these objects can be established and manipulated in memory.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 145
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
The type determines how much memory is allocated to an object and how the program will interpret the bit patterns found in the object’s storage allocation. A given data type can be viewed as a set of values (often implementation-dependent) that identifiers of that type can assume, together with a set of operations allowed with these values. The compile-time operator sizeof allows you to determine the size in bytes of any standard or user-defined type.
The mikroC for 8051 standard libraries and your own program and header files must provide unambiguous identifiers (or expressions derived from them) and types so that the mikroC for 8051 can consistently access, interpret, and (possibly) change the bit patterns in memory corresponding to each active object in your program.
Type Categories
A common way to categorize types is to divide them into:
- fundamental
- derived
The fudamental types represent types that cannot be split up into smaller parts. They are sometimes referred to as unstructured types. The fundamental types are void, char, int, float, unsigned and double
, together with short, long, signed, and variants of some of them. For more information on fundamental types, refer to the topic Fundamental Types.
The derived types are also known as structured types and they include pointers to other types, arrays of other types, function types, structures, and unions. For more information on derived types, refer to the topic Derived Types.
FUNDAMENTAL TYPES
The fudamental types represent types that cannot be divided into more basic elements, and are the model for representing elementary data on machine level. The fudamental types are sometimes referred to as unstructured types, and are used as elements in creating more complex derived or user-defined types.
The fundamental types include:
- Arithmetic Types
- Enumerations
- Void Type

ARITHMETIC TYPES
The arithmetic type specifiers are built up from the following keywords: void, char, int, float and double
, together with the prefixes short, long, signed and unsigned
. From these keywords you can build both integral and floating-point types.
Integral Types
The types char and int
, together with their variants, are considered to be integral data types. Variants are created by using one of the prefix modifiers short, long, signed and unsigned
.
In the table below is an overview of the integral types – keywords in parentheses can be (and often are) omitted.
The modifiers signed and unsigned can be applied to both char and int. In the absence of the unsigned prefix, signed is automatically assumed for integral types.
The only exception is char
, which is unsigned by default. The keywords signed and unsigned
, when used on their own, mean signed int and unsigned int
, respectively.
The modifiers short and long can only be applied to int
. The keywords short and long
, used on their own, mean short int and long int
, respectively.

Floating-point Types
The types float and double, together with the long double variant, are considered to be floating-point types. The mikroC for 8051’s implementation of an ANSI Standard considers all three to be the same type.
Floating point in the mikroC for 8051 is implemented using the Microchip AN575
32-bit format (IEEE 754 compliant).
An overview of the floating-point types is shown in the table below:

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
ENUMERATIONS
An enumeration data type is used for representing an abstract, discreet set of values with appropriate symbolic names.
Enumeration Declaration
Enumeration is declared like this:
enum tag {enumeration-list};
Here, tag is an optional name of the enumeration; enumeration-list is a commadelimited list of discreet values, enumerators (or enumeration constants). Each enumerator is assigned a fixed integral value. In the absence of explicit initializers, the first enumerator is set to zero, and the value of each succeeding enumerator is set to a value of its predecessor increased by one.
Variables of the enum type are declared the same as variables of any other type. For example, the following declaration:
enum colors { black, red, green, blue, violet, white } c; establishes a unique integral type, enum colors
, variable c of this type, and set of enumerators with constant integer values (black = 0, red = 1, ...). In the mikroC for
8051, a variable of an enumerated type can be assigned any value of the type int
– no type checking beyond that is enforced. That is: c = red; // OK c = 1; // Also OK, means the same
With explicit integral initializers, you can set one or more enumerators to specific values. The initializer can be any expression yielding a positive or negative integer value (after possible integer promotions). Any subsequent names without initializers will be increased by one. These values are usually unique, but duplicates are legal
The order of constants can be explicitly re-arranged. For example:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 149
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
enum colors { black, // value 0 red, // value 1 green, // value 2 blue=6, // value 6 violet, // value 7 white=4 }; // value 4
Initializer expression can include previously declared enumerators. For example, in the following declaration:
enum memory_sizes { bit = 1, nibble = 4 * bit, byte = 2 * nibble, kilobyte = 1024 * byte }; nibble would acquire the value 4, byte the value 8, and kilobyte the value 8192.
Anonymous Enum Type
In our previous declaration, the identifier colors is an optional enumeration tag that can be used in subsequent declarations of enumeration variables of the enum colors type:
enum colors bg, border; /* declare variables bg and border */
Like with struct and union declarations, you can omit the tag if no further variables of this enum type are required:
/* Anonymous enum type: */
enum { black, red, green, blue, violet, white } color;
Enumeration Scope
Enumeration tags share the same name space as structure and union tags.
Enumerators share the same name space as ordinary variable identifiers:
int blue = 73;
{ // open a block
enum colors { black, red, green, blue, violet, white } c;
/* enumerator blue = 3 now hides outer declaration of int blue */
struct colors { int i, j; }; // ILLEGAL: colors duplicate tag
double red = 2; // ILLEGAL: redefinition of red
} blue = 37; // back in int blue scope

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
VOID TYPE
void is a special type indicating the absence of any value. There are no objects of void; instead, void is used for deriving more complex types.
Void Functions
Use the void keyword as a function return type if the function does not return a value.
void print_temp(char temp) {
Lcd_Out_Cp("Temperature:");
Lcd_Out_Cp(temp);
Lcd_Chr_Cp(223); // degree character
Lcd_Chr_Cp('C');
}
Use void as a function heading if the function does not take any parameters.
Alternatively, you can just write empty parentheses: main( void) { // same as main()
...
}
Generic Pointers
Pointers can be declared as void
, which means that they can point to any type. These pointers are sometimes called generic.
DERIVED TYPES
The derived types are also known as structured types. They are used as elements in creating more complex user-defined types.
The derived types include:
- arrays
- pointers
- structures
- unions
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 151
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
ARRAYS
Array is the simplest and most commonly used structured type. A variable of array type is actually an array of objects of the same type. These objects represent elements of an array and are identified by their position in array. An array consists of a contiguous region of storage exactly large enough to hold all of its elements.
Array Declaration
Array declaration is similar to variable declaration, with the brackets added after identifer: type array_name[constant-expression]
This declares an array named as array_name and composed of elements of type. The type can be any scalar type (except void), user-defined type, pointer, enumeration, or another array. Result of constant-expression within the brackets determines a number of elements in array. If an expression is given in an array declarator, it must evaluate to a positive constant integer. The value is a number of elements in an array.
Each of the elements of an array is indexed from 0 to the number of elements minus one. If a number of elements is n, elements of array can be approached as variables array_name[0] .. array_name[n-1] of type
.
Here are a few examples of array declaration:
#define MAX = 50 int vector_one[10]; /* declares an array of 10 integers */ float vector_two[MAX]; /* declares an array of 50 floats */ float vector_three[MAX - 20]; /* declares an array
Array Initialization
An array can be initialized in declaration by assigning it a comma-delimited sequence of values within braces. When initializing an array in declaration, you can omit the number of elements – it will be automatically determined according to the number of elements assigned. For example:
/* Declare an array which holds number of days in each month: */
int days[12] = {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
152 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
/* This declaration is identical to the previous one */
int days[] = {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
If you specify both the length and starting values, the number of starting values must not exceed the specified length. The opposite is possible, in this case the trailing
“excess” elements will be assigned to some encountered runtime values from memory.
In case of array of char, you can use a shorter string literal notation. For example:
/* The two declarations are identical: */
const char msg1[] = {'T', 'e', 's', 't', '\0'};
const char msg2[] = "Test";
For more information on string literals, refer to String Constants.
Arrays in Expressions
When the name of an array comes up in expression evaluation (except with operators
& and sizeof
), it is implicitly converted to the pointer pointing to array’s first element. See Arrays and Pointers for more information.
Multi-dimensional Arrays
An array is one-dimensional if it is of scalar type. One-dimensional arrays are sometimes referred to as vectors.
Multidimensional arrays are constructed by declaring arrays of array type. These arrays are stored in memory in such way that the right most subscript changes fastest, i.e. arrays are stored “in rows”. Here is a sample of 2-dimensional array:
float m[50][20]; /* 2-dimensional array of size 50x20 */
A variable m is an array of 50 elements, which in turn are arrays of 20 floats each.
Thus, we have a matrix of 50x20 elements: the first element is m[0][0], the last one is m[49][19]
. The first element of the 5th row would be m[4][0].
If you don't initialize the array in the declaration, you can omit the first dimension of multi-dimensional array. In that case, array is located elsewhere, e.g. in another file. This is a commonly used technique when passing arrays as function parameters:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 153
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
int a[3][2][4]; /* 3-dimensional array of size 3x2x4 */
void func(int n[][2][4]) { /* we can omit first dimension */
...
n[2][1][3]++; /* increment the last element*/
}//~
void main() {
...
func(a);
}//~!
You can initialize a multi-dimensional array with an appropriate set of values within braces. For example:
int a[3][2] = {{1,2}, {2,6}, {3,7}};
POINTERS
Pointers are special objects for holding (or “pointing to”) memory addresses. In the mikroC for 8051, address of an object in memory can be obtained by means of an unary operator &. To reach the pointed object, we use an indirection operator (*) on a pointer.
A pointer of type “pointer to object of type” holds the address of (that is, points to) an object of type
. Since pointers are objects, you can have a pointer pointing to a pointer (and so on). Other objects commonly pointed to include arrays, structures, and unions.
A pointer to a function is best thought of as an address, usually in a code segment, where that function’s executable code is stored; that is, the address to which control is transferred when that function is called.
Although pointers contain numbers with most of the characteristics of unsigned integers, they have their own rules and restrictions for declarations, assignments, conversions, and arithmetic. The examples in the next few sections illustrate these rules and restrictions.
Pointer Declarations
Pointers are declared the same as any other variable, but with * ahead of identifier.
A type at the beginning of declaration specifies the type of a pointed object. A pointer must be declared as pointing to some particular type, even if that type is void
, which really means a pointer to anything. Pointers to void are often called generic pointers, and are treated as pointers to char in the mikroC for 8051.
154 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
If type is any predefined or user-defined type, including void, the declaration type *p; /* Uninitialized pointer */ declares p to be of type “pointer to type
”. All scoping, duration, and visibility rules are applied to the p object just declared. You can view the declaration in this way: if
*p is an object of type
, then p has to be a pointer to such object (object of type
).
Note: You must initialize pointers before using them! Our previously declared pointer
*p is not initialized (i.e. assigned a value), so it cannot be used yet.
Note: In case of multiple pointer declarations, each identifier requires an indirect operator. For example:
int *pa, *pb, *pc;
/* is same as: */
int *pa;
int *pb;
int *pc;
Once declared, though, a pointer can usually be reassigned so that it points to an object of another type. The mikroC for 8051 lets you reassign pointers without typecasting, but the compiler will warn you unless the pointer was originally declared to be pointing to void
. You can assign the void* pointer to the nonvoid* pointer – refer to void for details.
Null Pointers
A null pointer value is an address that is guaranteed to be different from any valid pointer in use in a program. Assigning the integer constant 0 to a pointer assigns a null pointer value to it.
For example:
int *pn = 0; /* Here's one null pointer */
/* We can test the pointer like this: */
if ( pn == 0 ) { ... }
The pointer type “pointer to void” must not be confused with the null pointer. The declaration
void *vp;
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 155
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051 declares that vp is a generic pointer capable of being assigned to by any “pointer to type” value, including null, without complaint.
Assignments without proper casting between a “pointer to type1
” and a “pointer to type2
”, where type1 and type2 are different types, can invoke a compiler warning or error. If type1 is a function and type2 isn’t (or vice versa), pointer assignments are illegal. If type1 is a pointer to void
, no cast is needed. If type2 is a pointer to void, no cast is needed.
FUNCTION POINTERS
Function Pointers are pointers, i.e. variables, which point to the address of a function.
// Define a function pointer
int (*pt2Function) (float, char, char);
Note: Thus functions and function pointers with different calling convention (argument order, arguments type or return type is different) are incompatible with each other.
Assign an address to a Function Pointer
It's quite easy to assign the address of a function to a function pointer. Simply take the name of a suitable and known function. Using the address operator & infront of the function's name is optional.
//Assign an address to the function pointer
int DoIt (float a, char b, char c){ return a+b+c; } pt2Function = &DoIt; // assignment

POINTER ARITHMETIC
Pointer arithmetic in the mikroC for 8051 is limited to:
- assigning one pointer to another,
- comparing two pointers,
- comparing pointer to zero,
- adding/subtracting pointer and an integer value,
- subtracting two pointers.
The internal arithmetic performed on pointers depends on the memory model in force and the presence of any overriding pointer modifiers. When performing arithmetic with pointers, it is assumed that the pointer points to an array of objects.
Arrays and Pointers
Arrays and pointers are not completely independent types in the mikroC for 8051.
When the name of an array comes up in expression evaluation (except with operators
& and sizeof
), it is implicitly converted to the pointer pointing to array’s first element. Due to this fact, arrays are not modifiable lvalues.
Brackets
[ ] indicate array subscripts. The expression id[exp] is defined as
*((id) + (exp)) where either:
- id is a pointer and exp is an integer, or
- id is an integer and exp is a pointer.
The following statements are true:
&a[i] = a + i a[i] = *(a + i)
According to these guidelines, it can be written:
158 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference pa = &a[4]; // pa points to a[4] x = *(pa + 3); // x = a[7]
/* .. but: */ y = *pa + 3; // y = a[4] + 3
Also the care should be taken when using operator precedence:
*pa++; // Equal to *(pa++), increments the pointer
(*pa)++; // Increments the pointed object!
The following examples are also valid, but better avoid this syntax as it can make the code really illegible:
(a + 1)[i] = 3;
// same as: *((a + 1) + i) = 3, i.e. a[i + 1] = 3
(i + 2)[a] = 0;
// same as: *((i + 2) + a) = 0, i.e. a[i + 2] = 0
Assignment and Comparison
The simple assignment operator
(=) can be used to assign value of one pointer to another if they are of the same type. If they are of different types, you must use a typecast operator. Explicit type conversion is not necessary if one of the pointers is generic (of the void type).
Assigning the integer constant 0 to a pointer assigns a null pointer value to it.
Two pointers pointing to the same array may be compared by using relational operators
==, !=, <, <=, >, and
>=.
Results of these operations are the same as if they were used on subscript values of array elements in question:
int *pa = &a[4], *pb = &a[2];
if (pa == pb) {... /* won't be executed as 4 is not equal to 2 */ }
if (pa > pb) {... /* will be executed as 4 is greater than 2 */ }
You can also compare pointers to zero value – testing in that way if the pointer actually points to anything. All pointers can be successfully tested for equality or inequality to null:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 159
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
if (pa == 0) { ... }
if (pb != 0) { ... }
Note: Comparing pointers pointing to different objects/arrays can be performed at programmer’s own responsibility — a precise overview of data’s physical storage is required.
Pointer Addition
You can use operators
+, ++, and
+= to add an integral value to a pointer. The result of addition is defined only if the pointer points to an element of an array and if the result is a pointer pointing to the same array (or one element beyond it).
If a pointer is declared to point to type, adding an integral value n to the pointer increments the pointer value by n * sizeof(type) as long as the pointer remains within the legal range (first element to one beyond the last element). If type has a size of 10 bytes, then adding 5 to a pointer to type advances the pointer 50 bytes in memory. In case of the void type, the size of a step is one byte.
For example:
int a[10]; /* array a containing 10 elements of type int */
int *pa = &a[0]; /* pa is pointer to int, pointing to a[0] */
*(pa + 3) = 6; /* pa+3 is a pointer pointing to a[3], so a[3] now equals 6 */ pa++; /* pa now points to the next element of array a: a[1] */
There is no such element as “one past the last element”, of course, but the pointer is allowed to assume such value. C “guarantees” that the result of addition is defined even when pointing to one element past array. If
P points to the last array element,
P + 1 is legal, but
P + 2 is undefined.
This allows you to write loops which access the array elements in a sequence by means of incrementing pointer — in the last iteration you will have the pointer pointing to one element past the array, which is legal. However, applying an indirection operator
(*) to a “pointer to one past the last element” leads to undefined behavior.
For example:
160 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
void f (some_type a[], int n) {
/* function f handles elements of array a; */
/* array a has n elements of type some_type */
int i; some_type *p=&a[0];
}
for ( i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
/* .. here we do something with *p .. */ p++; /* .. and with the last iteration p exceeds the last element of array a */
}
/* at this point, *p is undefined! */
Pointer Subtraction
Similar to addition, you can use operators
-, -- , and
-= to subtract an integral value from a pointer.
Also, you may subtract two pointers. The difference will be equal to the distance between two pointed addresses, in bytes.
For example:
int a[10];
int *pi1 = &a[0];
int *pi2 = &a[4]; i = pi2 - pi1; /* i equals 8 */ pi2 -= (i >> 1); /* pi2 = pi2 - 4: pi2 now points to [0] */
STRUCTURES
A structure is a derived type usually representing a user-defined collection of named members (or components). These members can be of any type, either fundamental or derived (with some restrictions to be discussed later), in any sequence. In addition, a structure member can be a bit field.
Unlike arrays, structures are considered to be single objects. The mikroC for 8051 structure type lets you handle complex data structures almost as easily as single variables.
Note: the mikroC for 8051 does not support anonymous structures (ANSI divergence).
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 161
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Structure Declaration and Initialization
Structures are declared using the keyword struct:
struct tag {member-declarator-list};
Here, tag is the name of a structure; member-declarator-list is a list of structure members, actually a list of variable declarations. Variables of structured type are declared the same as variables of any other type.
The member type cannot be the same as the struct type being currently declared.
However, a member can be a pointer to the structure being declared, as in the following example:
struct mystruct {mystruct s;}; /* illegal! */
struct mystruct {mystruct *ps;}; /* OK */
Also, a structure can contain previously defined structure types when declaring an instance of declared structure. Here is an example:
/* Structure defining a dot: */
struct Dot {float x, y;};
/* Structure defining a circle: */
struct Circle {
float r;
struct Dot center;
} o1, o2;
/* declare variables o1 and o2 of Circle */
Note that the structure tag can be omitted, but then additional objects of this type cannot be declared elsewhere. For more information, see the Untagged Structures below.
Structure is initialized by assigning it a comma-delimited sequence of values within braces, similar to array. For example:
/* Referring to declarations from the example above: */
/* Declare and initialize dots p and q: */
struct Dot p = {1., 1.}, q = {3.7, -0.5};
/* Declare and initialize circle o1: */
struct Circle o1 = {1., {0., 0.}}; // radius is 1, center is at (0,
0)
162 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Incomplete Declarations
Incomplete declarations are also known as forward declarations. A pointer to a structure type A can legally appear in the declaration of another structure B before A has been declared:
struct A; // incomplete
struct B {struct A *pa;};
struct A {struct B *pb;};
The first appearance of
A is called incomplete because there is no definition for it at that point. An incomplete declaration is allowed here, because the definition of
B doesn’t need the size of
A
.
Untagged Structures and Typedefs
If the structure tag is omitted, an untagged structure is created. The untagged structures can be used to declare the identifiers in the comma-delimited memberdeclarator-list to be of the given structure type (or derived from it), but additional objects of this type cannot be declared elsewhere.
It is possible to create a typedef while declaring a structure, with or without tag:
/* With tag: */
typedef struct mystruct { ... } Mystruct;
Mystruct s, *ps, arrs[10]; /* same as struct mystruct s, etc. */
/* Without tag: */
typedef struct { ... } Mystruct;
Mystruct s, *ps, arrs[10];
Usually, there is no need to use both tag and typedef
: either can be used in structure type declarations.
Untagged structure and union members are ignored during initialization.
Note: See also Working with structures.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
WORKING WITH STRUCTURES
Structures represent user-defined types. A set of rules regarding the application of structures is strictly defined.
Assignment
Variables of the same structured type may be assigned one to another by means of simple assignment operator (=). This will copy the entire contents of the variable to destination, regardless of the inner complexity of a given structure.
Note that two variables are of the same structured type only if they are both defined by the same instruction or using the same type identifier. For example:
/* a and b are of the same type: */
struct {int m1, m2;} a, b;
/* But c and d are _not_ of the same type although their structure descriptions are identical: */
struct {int m1, m2;} c;
struct {int m1, m2;} d;
Size of Structure
The size of the structure in memory can be retrieved by means of the operator sizeof. It is not necessary that the size of the structure is equal to the sum of its members’ sizes. It is often greater due to certain limitations of memory storage.
Structures and Functions
A function can return a structure type or a pointer to a structure type: mystruct func1( void); /* func1() returns a structure */ mystruct *func2( void); /* func2() returns pointer to structure */
A structure can be passed as an argument to a function in the following ways:
void func1(mystruct s;); /* directly */
void func2(mystruct *sptr;); /* via a pointer */

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
STRUCTURE MEMBER ACCESS
Structure and union members are accessed using the following two selection operators:
- . (period)
- -> (right arrow)
The operator . is called the direct member selector and it is used to directly access one of the structure’s members. Suppose that the object s is of the struct type S and m is a member identifier of the type M declared in s, then the expression s.m // direct access to member m is of the type M, and represents the member object m in S.
The operator
-> is called the indirect (or pointer) member selector. Suppose that the object s is of the struct type
S and ps is a pointer to s
. Then if m is a member identifier of the type M declared in s
, the expression ps->m // indirect access to member m;
// identical to (*ps).m
is of the type
M
, and represents the member object m in s
. The expression ps->m is a convenient shorthand for
(*ps).m.
For example:
struct mystruct {
int i;
char str[21];
double d;
} s, *sptr = &s;
...
s.i = 3; // assign to the i member of mystruct s sptr -> d = 1.23; // assign to the d member of mystruct s
The expression s.m
is lvalue, providing that s is lvalue and m is not an array type.
The expression sptr->m is an lvalue unless m is an array type.

Accessing Nested Structures
If the structure B contains a field whose type is the structure A, the members of A can be accessed by two applications of the member selectors:
struct A {
int j; double x;
};
struct B {
int i; struct A aa; double d;
} s, *sptr;
...
s.i = 3; // assign 3 to the i member of B s.aa.j = 2; // assign 2 to the j member of A sptr->d = 1.23; // assign 1.23 to the d member of B sptr->aa.x = 3.14; // assign 3.14 to x member of A

Each structure declaration introduces a unique structure type, so that in
struct A {
int i,j; double d;
} aa, aaa;
struct B {
int i,j; double d;
} bb; the objects aa and aaa are both of the type struct A, but the objects aa and bb are of different structure types. Structures can be assigned only if the source and destination have the same type: aa = aaa; /* OK: same type, member by member assignment */ aa = bb; /* ILLEGAL: different types */
/* but you can assign member by member: */ aa.i = bb.i; aa.j = bb.j; aa.d = bb.d;

UNIONS
Union types are derived types sharing many of syntactic and functional features of structure types. The key difference is that a union members share the same memory space.
Note: The mikroC for 8051 does not support anonymous unions (ANSI divergence).
Union Declaration
Unions have the same declaration as structures, with the keyword union used instead of struct:
union tag { member-declarator-list };
Unlike structures’ members, the value of only one of union’s members can be stored at any time. Here is a simple example:
union myunion { // union tag is 'myunion'
int i;
double d;
char ch;
} mu, *pm;
The identifier mu, of the type myunion
, can be used to hold a 2-byte int
, 4-byte double or single-byte char
, but only one of them at a certain moment. The identifier pm is a pointer to union myunion
.
Size of Union
The size of a union is the size of its largest member. In our previous example, both sizeof(union myunion) and sizeof(mu) return 4, but 2 bytes are unused (padded) when mu holds the int object, and 3 bytes are unused when mu holds char
.
Union Member Access
Union members can be accessed with the structure member selectors (. and
->
), be careful when doing this:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 167
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
/* Referring to declarations from the example above: */ pm = μ mu.d = 4.016; tmp = mu.d; // OK: mu.d = 4.016 tmp = mu.i; // peculiar result pm->i = 3; tmp = mu.i; // OK: mu.i = 3
The third line is legal, since mu.i
is an integral type. However, the bit pattern in mu.i
corresponds to parts of the previously assigned double
. As such, it probably won’t provide an useful integer interpretation.
When properly converted, a pointer to a union points to each of its members, and vice versa.
BIT FIELDS
Bit fields are specified numbers of bits that may or may not have an associated identifier. Bit fields offer a way of subdividing structures into named parts of userdefined sizes.
Structures and unions can contain bit fields that can be up to 16 bits.
You cannot take the address of a bit field.
Note: If you need to handle specific bits of 8-bit variables (char and unsigned short) or registers, you don’t need to declare bit fields. Much more elegant solution is to use the mikroC for 8051’s intrinsic ability for individual bit access — see Accessing
Individual Bits for more information.
Bit Fields Declaration
Bit fields can be declared only in structures and unions. Declare a structure normally and assign individual fields like this (fields need to be unsigned
):
struct tag {
unsigned bitfield-declarator-list;
}
Here, tag is an optional name of the structure; bitfield-declarator-list is a list of bit fields. Each component identifer requires a colon and its width in bits to be explicitly specified. Total width of all components cannot exceed two bytes (16 bits).
168 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
As an object, bit fields structure takes two bytes. Individual fields are packed within two bytes from right to left. In bitfield-declarator-list
, you can omit identifier(s) to create an artificial “padding”, thus skipping irrelevant bits.
For example, if there is a need to manipulate only bits 2–4 of a register as one block, create a structure like this:
struct { unsigned : 2, // Skip bits 0 and 1, no identifier here mybits : 3; // Relevant bits 2, 3 and 4
// Bits 5, 6 and 7 are implicitly left out
} myreg;
Here is an example:
typedef struct { lo_nibble : 4; hi_nibble : 4; high_byte : 8;} myunsigned; which declares the structured type myunsigned containing three components: lo_nibble
(bits 3..0), hi_nibble
(bits 7..4) and high_byte
(bits 15..8).
Bit Fields Access
Bit fields can be accessed in the same way as the structure members. Use direct and indirect member selector (
.
and
->
). For example, we could work with our previously declared myunsigned like this:
// This example writes low byte of bit field of myunsigned type to
PORT0: myunsigned Value_For_PORT0;
void main() {
...
Value_For_PORT0.lo_nibble = 7;
Value_For_PORT0.hi_nibble = 0x0C;
P0 = *( char *) (void *)&Value_For_PORT0;
// typecasting :
// 1. address of structure to pointer to void
// 2. pointer to void to pointer to char
// 3. dereferencing to obtain the value
}

TYPES CONVERSIONS
The mikroC for 8051 is a strictly typed language, with each operator, statement and function demanding appropriately typed operands/arguments. However, we often have to use objects of “mismatching” types in expressions. In that case, type conversion is needed.
Conversion of object of one type means that object's type is changed into another type. The mikroC for 8051 defines a set of standard conversions for built-in types, provided by compiler when necessary. For more information, refer to the Standard
Conversions.
Conversion is required in the following situations:
- if a statement requires an expression of particular type (according to language definition), and we use an expression of different type,
- if an operator requires an operand of particular type, and we use an operand of different type,
- if a function requires a formal parameter of particular type, and we pass it an object of different type,
- if an expression following the keyword return does not match the declared function return type,
- if intializing an object (in declaration) with an object of different type.
In these situations, compiler will provide an automatic implicit conversion of types, without any programmer's interference. Also, the programmer can demand conversion explicitly by means of the typecast operator. For more information, refer to the
Explicit Typecasting.
STANDARD CONVERSIONS
Standard conversions are built in the mikroC for 8051. These conversions are performed automatically, whenever required in the program. They can also be explicitly required by means of the typecast operator (refer to the Explicit Typecasting).
The basic rule of automatic (implicit) conversion is that the operand of simpler type is converted (promoted) to the type of more complex operand. Then, the type of the result is that of more complex operand.
170 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Arithmetic Conversions
When using arithmetic expression, such as a + b
, where a and b are of different arithmetic types, the mikroC for 8051 performs implicit type conversions before the expression is evaluated. These standard conversions include promotions of “lower” types to “higher” types in the interests of accuracy and consistency.
Assigning a signed character object (such as a variable) to an integral object results in automatic sign extension. Objects of type signed char always use sign extension; objects of type unsigned char always has its high byte set to zero when converted to int.
Converting a longer integral type to a shorter type truncates the higher order bits and leaves low-order bits unchanged. Converting a shorter integral type to a longer type either sign-extends or zero-fills the extra bits of the new value, depending on whether the shorter type is signed or unsigned, respectively.
Note: Conversion of floating point data into integral value (in assignments or via explicit typecast) produces correct results only if the float value does not exceed the scope of destination integral type.
In details:
Here are the steps the mikroC for 8051 uses to convert the operands in an arithmetic expression:
First, any small integral types are converted according to the following rules:
1. char converts to int
2. signed char converts to int, with the same value
3. short converts to int, with the same value, sign-extended
4. unsigned short converts to unsigned int, with the same value, zero-filled
5. enum converts to int, with the same value
After this, any two values associated with an operator are either int (including the long and unsigned modifiers) or float
(equivalent with double and long double in the mikroC for 8051).
1. If either operand is float, the other operand is converted to float.
2. Otherwise, if either operand is unsigned long, the other operand is converted to unsigned long
.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 171
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
3. Otherwise, if either operand is long
, then the other operand is converted to long
.
4. Otherwise, if either operand is unsigned
, then the other operand is converted to unsigned
.
5. Otherwise, both operands are int
.
The result of the expression is the same type as that of the two operands.
Here are several examples of implicit conversion:
2 + 3.1 /* ? 2. + 3.1 ? 5.1 */
5 / 4 * 3. /* ? (5/4)*3. ? 1*3. ? 1.*3. ? 3. */
3. * 5 / 4 /* ? (3.*5)/4 ? (3.*5.)/4 ? 15./4 ? 15./4. ? 3.75 */
Pointer Conversions
Pointer types can be converted to other pointer types using the typecasting mechanism:
char *str;
int *ip; str = ( char *)ip;
More generally, the cast type* will convert a pointer to type “pointer to type
”.
EXPLICIT TYPES CONVERSIONS (TYPECASTING)
In most situations, compiler will provide an automatic implicit conversion of types where needed, without any user's interference. Also, the user can explicitly convert an operand to another type using the prefix unary typecast operator:
(type) object
This will convert object to a specified type
. Parentheses are mandatory.
For example:
/* Let's have two variables of char type: */
char a, b;
/* Following line will coerce a to unsigned int: */
( unsigned int) a;
/* Following line will coerce a to double, then coerce b to double automatically, resulting in double type value: */
( double) a + b; // equivalent to ((double) a) + b;

Language Reference
DECLARATIONS
A declaration introduces one or several names to a program – it informs the compiler what the name represents, what its type is, what operations are allowed with it, etc. This section reviews concepts related to declarations: declarations, definitions, declaration specifiers, and initialization.
The range of objects that can be declared includes:
- Variables
- Constants
- Functions
- Types
- Structure, union, and enumeration tags
- Structure members
- Union members
- Arrays of other types
- Statement labels
-Preprocessor macros
Declarations and Definitions
Defining declarations, also known as definitions, beside introducing the name of an object, also establish the creation (where and when) of an object; that is, the allocation of physical memory and its possible initialization. Referencing declarations, or just declarations, simply make their identifiers and types known to the compiler.
Here is an overview. Declaration is also a definition, except if:
- it declares a function without specifying its body
- it has the extern specifier, and has no initializator or body (in case of func.)
- it is the typedef declaration
There can be many referencing declarations for the same identifier, especially in a multifile program, but only one defining declaration for that identifier is allowed.
For example:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 173
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
/* Here is a nondefining declaration of function max; */
/* it merely informs compiler that max is a function */
int max();
/* Here is a definition of function max: */
int max(int x, int y) {
return (x >= y) ? x : y;
}
/* Definition of variable i: */
int i;
/* Following line is an error, i is already defined! */
int i;
Declarations and Declarators
The declaration contains specifier(s) followed by one or more identifiers (declarators). The declaration begins with optional storage class specifiers, type specifiers, and other modifiers. The identifiers are separated by commas and the list is terminated by a semicolon.
Declarations of variable identifiers have the following pattern: storage-class [type-qualifier] type var1 [=init1], var2 [=init2], ...
; where var1, var2,...
are any sequence of distinct identifiers with optional initializers. Each of the variables is declared to be of type
; if omitted, type defaults to int
. The specifier storage-class can take the values extern, static, register, or the default auto
. Optional type-qualifier can take values const or volatile
. For more details, refer to Storage Classes and Type Qualifiers.
For example:
/* Create 3 integer variables called x, y, and z and initialize x and y to the values 1 and 2, respectively: */
int x = 1, y = 2, z; // z remains uninitialized
/* Create a floating-point variable q with static modifier, and initialize it to 0.25: */
static float q = .25;
These are all defining declarations; storage is allocated and any optional initializers are applied.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
LINKAGE
An executable program is usually created by compiling several independent translation units, then linking the resulting object files with preexisting libraries. A term translation unit refers to a source code file together with any included files, but without the source lines omitted by conditional preprocessor directives. A problem arises when the same identifier is declared in different scopes (for example, in different files), or declared more than once in the same scope.
The linkage is a process that allows each instance of an identifier to be associated correctly with one particular object or function. All identifiers have one of two linkage attributes, closely related to their scope: external linkage or internal linkage.
These attributes are determined by the placement and format of your declarations, together with an explicit (or implicit by default) use of the storage class specifier static or extern.
Each instance of a particular identifier with external linkage represents the same object or function throughout the entire set of files and libraries making up the program. Each instance of a particular identifier with internal linkage represents the same object or function within one file only.
Linkage Rules
Local names have internal linkage; the same identifier can be used in different files to signify different objects. Global names have external linkage; identifier signifies the same object throughout all program files.
If the same identifier appears with both internal and external linkage within the same file, the identifier will have internal linkage.
Internal Linkage Rules
1. names having file scope, explicitly declared as static
, have internal linkage
2. names having file scope, explicitly declared as const and not explicitly declared as extern
, have internal linkage
3. typedef names have internal linkage
4. enumeration constants have internal linkage
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 175
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
External Linkage Rules
1. names having file scope, that do not comply to any of previously stated internal linkage rules, have external linkage
The storage class specifiers auto and register cannot appear in an external declaration. No more than one external definition can be given for each identifier in a translation unit declared with internal linkage. An external definition is an external declaration that defines an object or a function and also allocates a storage. If an identifier declared with external linkage is used in an expression (other than as part of the operand of sizeof
), then exactly one external definition of that identifier must be somewhere in the entire program.
STORAGE CLASSES
Associating identifiers with objects requires each identifier to have at least two attributes: storage class and type (sometimes referred to as data type). The mikroC for 8051 compiler deduces these attributes from implicit or explicit declarations in the source code.
A storage class dictates the location (data segment, register, heap, or stack) of object and its duration or lifetime (the entire running time of the program, or during execution of some blocks of code). A storage class can be established by the syntax of a declaration, by its placement in the source code, or by both of these factors: storage-class type identifier
The storage class specifiers in the mikroC for 8051 are:
- auto
- register
- static
- extern
Auto
The auto modifer is used to define that a local variable has a local duration. This is the default for local variables and is rarely used. auto can not be used with globals.
See also Functions.
176 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Register
At the moment the modifier register technically has no special meaning. The mikroC for 8051 compiler simply ignores requests for register allocation.
Static
A global name declared with the static specifier has internal linkage, meaning that it is local for a given file. See Linkage for more information.
A local name declared with the static specifier has static duration. Use static with a local variable to preserve the last value between successive calls to that function. See Duration for more information.
Extern
A name declared with the extern specifier has external linkage, unless it has been previously declared as having internal linkage. A declaration is not a definition if it has the extern specifier and is not initialized. The keyword extern is optional for a function prototype.
Use the extern modifier to indicate that the actual storage and initial value of the variable, or body of the function, is defined in a separate source code module.
Functions declared with extern are visible throughout all source files in the program, unless the function is redefined as static
.
See Linkage for more information.
TYPE QUALIFIERS
The type qualifiers const and volatile are optional in declarations and do not actually affect the type of declared object.
Qualifier const
The qualifier const implies that a declared object will not change its value during runtime. In declarations with the const qualifier all objects need to be initialized.
The mikroC for 8051 treats objects declared with the const qualifier the same as literals or preprocessor constants. If the user tries to change an object declared with the const qualifier compiler will report an error.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 177
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
For example:
const double PI = 3.14159;
Qualifier volatile
The qualifier volatile implies that a variable may change its value during runtime independently from the program. Use the volatile modifier to indicate that a variable can be changed by a background routine, an interrupt routine, or I/O port. Declaring an object to be volatile warns the compiler not to make assumptions concerning the value of an object while evaluating expressions in which it occurs because the value could be changed at any moment.
TYPEDEF SPECIFIER
The specifier typedef introduces a synonym for a specified type. The typedef declarations are used to construct shorter or more convenient names for types already defined by the language or declared by the user.
The specifier typedef stands first in the declaration:
typedef <type_definition> synonym;
The typedef keyword assigns synonym to
<type_definition>
. The synonym needs to be a valid identifier.
A declaration starting with the typedef specifier does not introduce an object or a function of a given type, but rather a new name for a given type. In other words, the typedef declaration is identical to a “normal” declaration, but instead of objects, it declares types. It is a common practice to name custom type identifiers with starting capital letter — this is not required by the mikroC for 8051.
For example:
/* Let's declare a synonym for "unsigned long int" */
typedef unsigned long int Distance;
/* Now, synonym "Distance" can be used as type identifier: */
Distance i; // declare variable i of unsigned long int
178 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
In the typedef declaration, as in any other declaration, several types can be declared at once. For example: typedef int *Pti, Array[10];
Here,
Pti is a synonym for type “pointer to int
”, and
Array is a synonym for type
“array of 10 int elements”.
ASM DECLARATION
The mikroC for 8051 allows embedding assembly in the source code by means of the asm declaration. The declarations
_asm and
__asm are also allowed in the mikroC for 8051 and have the same meaning. Note that numerals cannnot be used as absolute addresses for SFR or GPR variables in assembly instructions. Symbolic names may be used instead (listing will display these names as well as addresses).
Assembly instructions can be grouped by the asm keyword ( or _asm, or __asm
):
asm { block of assembly instructions
}
There are two ways to embeding single assembly instruction to C code:
asm assembly instruction ; and
asm assembly instruction
Note: semicolon and LF are terminating asm scope for single assembly instructions.
This is the reason why the following syntax is not asm block: asm
{ block of assembly instructions
}
This code will be interpreted as single empty asm line followed by C compound statement.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 179
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
The mikroC for 8051 comments (both single-line and multi-line) are allowed in embedded assembly code.
Accessing individual bytes is different as well. For example, a global variable
"g_var" of type long (i.e. 4 bytes) can be accessed like this:
MOV _g_var+0, #1 ;puts 1 in low byte of g_var
MOV _g_var+1, #2 ;puts 2 in high byte of g_var
MOV _g_var+2, #3 ;puts 3 in higher byte of g_var
MOV _g_var+3, #4 ;puts 4 in highest byte of g_var
... etc.
If you want to know details about asm syntax supported by mikroC for 8051 it is recomended to study asm and lst files generated by compiler. It is also recomended to check "Include source lines in output files" checkbox in Output settings
INITIALIZATION
The initial value of a declared object can be set at the time of declaration (initialization). A part of the declaration which specifies the initialization is called initializer.
Initializers for globals and static objects must be constants or constant expressions. The initializer for an automatic object can be any legal expression that evaluates to an assignment-compatible value for the type of the variable involved.
Scalar types are initialized with a single expression, which can optionally be enclosed in braces. The initial value of an object is that of the expression; the same constraints for type and conversions as for simple assignments are applied to initializations too.
For example:
int i = 1;
char *s = "hello";
struct complex c = {0.1, -0.2};
// where 'complex' is a structure (float, float)
For structures or unions with automatic storage duration, the initializer must be one of the following:
- An initializer list.
- A single expression with compatible union or structure type. In this case, the initial value of the object is that of the expression.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
For example:
struct dot {int x; int y; } m = {30, 40};
For more information, refer to Structures and Unions.
Also, you can initialize arrays of character type with a literal string, optionally enclosed in braces. Each character in the string, including the null terminator, initializes successive elements in the array. For more information, refer to Arrays.
Automatic Initialization
The mikroC for 8051 does not provide automatic initialization for objects.
Uninitialized globals and objects with static duration will take random values from memory.
FUNCTIONS
Functions are central to C programming. Functions are usually defined as subprograms which return a value based on a number of input parameters. Return value of the function can be used in expressions – technically, function call is considered to be an expression like any other.
C allows a function to create results other than its return value, referred to as side
effects. Often, the function return value is not used at all, depending on the side effects. These functions are equivalent to procedures of other programming languages, such as Pascal. C does not distinguish between procedure and function – functions play both roles.
Each program must have a single external function named main marking the entry point of the program. Functions are usually declared as prototypes in standard or user-supplied header files, or within program files. Functions have external linkage by default and are normally accessible from any file in the program. This can be restricted by using the static storage class specifier in function declaration (see
Storage Classes and Linkage).
Note: Check the 8051 Specifics for more information on functions’ limitations on the 8051 compliant micros.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 181
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Function Declaration
Functions are declared in user's source files or made available by linking precompiled libraries. The declaration syntax of the function is: type function_name(parameter-declarator-list);
The function_name must be a valid identifier. This name is used to call the function; see Function Calls for more information.
type represents the type of function result, and can be of any standard or userdefined type. For functions that do not return value the void type should be used.
The type can be omitted in global function declarations, and function will assume the int type by default.
Function type can also be a pointer. For example, float* means that a function result is a pointer to float. The generic pointer void* is also allowed.
The function cannot return an array or another function.
Within parentheses, parameter-declarator-list is a list of formal arguments that function takes. These declarators specify the type of each function parameter. The compiler uses this information to check validity of function calls. If the list is empty, a function does not take any arguments. Also, if the list is void
, a function also does not take any arguments; note that this is the only case when void can be used as an argument’s type.
Unlike variable declaration, each argument in the list needs its own type specifier and possible qualifier const or volatile
.
Function Prototypes
A function can be defined only once in the program, but can be declared several times, assuming that the declarations are compatible. When declaring a function, the formal argument's identifier does not have to be specified, but its type does.
This kind of declaration, commonly known as the function prototype, allows better control over argument number, type checking and type conversions. The name of a parameter in function prototype has its scope limited to the prototype. This allows one parameter identifier to have different name in different declarations of the same function:
182 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
/* Here are two prototypes of the same function: */
int test(const char*) /* declares function test */
int test(const char*p) /* declares the same function test */
Function prototypes are very useful in documenting code. For example, the function
Cf_Init takes two parameters: Control Port and Data Port. The question is, which is which? The function prototype:
void Cf_Init(char *ctrlport, char *dataport); makes it clear. If a header file contains function prototypes, the user can read that file to get the information needed for writing programs that call these functions. If a prototype parameter includes an identifier, then the indentifier is only used for error checking.
Function Definition
Function definition consists of its declaration and function body. The function body is technically a block – a sequence of local definitions and statements enclosed within braces
{}.
All variables declared within function body are local to the function, i.e. they have function scope.
The function itself can be defined only within the file scope, which means that function declarations cannot be nested.
To return the function result, use the return statement. The statement return in functions of the void type cannot have a parameter – in fact, the return statement can be omitted altogether if it is the last statement in the function body.
Here is a sample function definition:
/* function max returns greater one of its 2 arguments: */
int max(int x, int y) {
return (x>=y) ? x : y;
}
Here is a sample function which depends on side effects rather than return value:

/* function converts Descartes coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,fi): */

*r = sqrt(x * x + y * y);
*fi = (x == 0 && y == 0) ? 0 : atan2(y, x); return; /* this line can be omitted */
}
Functions reentrancy
Functions reentrancy is allowed. Remember that the 8051 has stack and memory limitations which can varies greatly between MCUs.
FUNCTION CALLS AND ARGUMENT CONVERSIONS
Function Calls
A function is called with actual arguments placed in the same sequence as their matching formal parameters. Use the function-call operator
(): function_name(expression_1, ... , expression_n)
Each expression in the function call is an actual argument. Number and types of actual arguments should match those of formal function parameters. If types do not match, implicit type conversions rules will be applied. Actual arguments can be of any complexity, but order of their evaluation is not specified.
Upon function call, all formal parameters are created as local objects initialized by the values of actual arguments. Upon return from a function, a temporary object is created in the place of the call, and it is initialized by the expression of the return statement. This means that the function call as an operand in complex expression is treated as a function result.
If the function has no result (type void
) or the result is not needed, then the function call can be written as a self-contained expression.
In C, scalar arguments are always passed to the function by value. The function can modify the values of its formal parameters, but this has no effect on the actual arguments in the calling routine. A scalar object can be passed by the address if a formal parameter is declared as a pointer. The pointed object can be accessed by using the indirection operator
*
.

// For example, Soft_Uart_Read takes the pointer to error variable,
// so it can change the value of an actual argument:
Soft_Uart_Read(&error);
// The following code would be wrong; you would pass the value
// of error variable to the function:
Soft_Uart_Read(error);
Argument Conversions
If a function prototype has not been previously declared, the mikroC for 8051 converts integral arguments to a function call according to the integral widening (expansion) rules described in Standard Conversions. If a function prototype is in scope, the mikroC for 8051 converts the passed argument to the type of the declared parameter according to the same conversion rules as in assignment statements.
If a prototype is present, the number of arguments must match. The types need to be compatible only to the extent that an assignment can legally convert them. The user can always use an explicit cast to convert an argument to a type that is acceptable to a function prototype.
Note: If the function prototype does not match the actual function definition, the mikroC for 8051 will detect this if and only if that definition is in the same compilation unit as the prototype. If you create a library of routines with the corresponding header file of prototypes, consider including that header file when you compile the library, so that any discrepancies between the prototypes and actual definitions will be detected.
The compiler is also able to force arguments to change their type to a proper one.
Consider the following code:
int limit = 32;
char ch = 'A';
long res;
// prototype
extern long func(long par1, long par2); main() {
...
res = func(limit, ch); // function call
}
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 185
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
Since the program has the function prototype for func
, it converts limit and ch to long
, using the standard rules of assignment, before it places them on the stack for the call to func
.
Without the function prototype, limit and ch would be placed on the stack as an integer and a character, respectively; in that case, the stack passed to func will not match size or content that func expects, which can cause problems.
ELLIPSIS ('...') OPERATOR
The ellipsis ('...') consists of three successive periods with no whitespace intervening. An ellipsis can be used in the formal argument lists of function prototypes to indicate a variable number of arguments, or arguments with varying types. For example:
void func (int n, char ch, ...);
This declaration indicates that func will be defined in such a way that calls must have at least two arguments, int and char, but can also have any number of additional arguments.
Example:
#include <stdarg.h>
int addvararg(char a1,...){ va_list ap;
char temp; va_start(ap,a1);
while( temp = va_arg(ap,char)) a1 += temp;
return a1;
}
int res;
void main() { res = addvararg(1,2,3,4,5,0); res = addvararg(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,0);
}//~!

OPERATORS PRECEDENCE AND ASSOCIATIVITY
There are 15 precedence categories, some of them contain only one operator.
Operators in the same category have equal precedence.
If duplicates of operators appear in the table, the first occurrence is unary and the second binary. Each category has an associativity rule: left-to-right
(->), or rightto-left
(<-).
In the absence of parentheses, these rules resolve a grouping of expressions with operators of equal precedence.

ARITHMETIC OPERATORS
Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical computations. They have numerical operands and return numerical results. The type char technically represents small integers, so the char variables can be used as operands in arithmetic operations.

Binary Arithmetic Operators
Division of two integers returns an integer, while remainder is simply truncated:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 189
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
/* for example: */
7 / 4; /* equals 1 */
7 * 3 / 4; /* equals 5 */
/* but: */
7. * 3. / 4.; /* equals 5.25 because we are working with floats */
Remainder operand % works only with integers; the sign of result is equal to the sign of the first operand:
/* for example: */
9 % 3; /* equals 0 */
7 % 3; /* equals 1 */
-7 % 3; /* equals -1 */
Arithmetic operators can be used for manipulating characters:
'A' + 32; /* equals 'a' (ASCII only) */
'G' - 'A' + 'a'; /* equals 'g' (both ASCII and EBCDIC) */
Unary Arithmetic Operators
Unary operators
++ and
-are the only operators in C which can be either prefix
(e.g.
++k, --k
) or postfix (e.g. k++, k--
).
When used as prefix, operators
++ and
--
(preincrement and predecrement) add or subtract one from the value of the operand before the evaluation. When used as suffix, operators
++ and
--
(postincrement and postdecrement) add or subtract one from the value of the operand after the evaluation.
For example:
int j = 5; j = ++k; /* k = k + 1, j = k, which gives us j = 6, k = 6
*/ but:
int j = 5; j = k++; /* j = k, k = k + 1, which gives us j = 5, k = 6
*/

/* ok: */
5 > 7 /* returns 0 */
10 <= 20 /* returns 1 */
/* this can be tricky: */

0x1234 & 0x5678 /* equals 0x1230 */
/* because ..
0x1234 : 0001 0010 0011 0100

/* Similarly: */
0x1234 | 0x5678; /* equals 0x567C */
0x1234 ^ 0x5678; /* equals 0x444C */
~ 0x1234; /* equals 0xEDCB */
Note: Operator
& can also be a pointer reference operator. Refer to Pointers for more information.
Bitwise Shift Operators
Binary operators
<< and
>> move the bits of the left operand by a number of positions specified by the right operand, to the left or right, respectively. Right operand has to be positive.
With shift left
(<<), far left bits are discarded and “new” bits on the right are assigned zeroes. Thus, shifting unsigned operand to the left by n positions is equivalent to multiplying it by 2n if all discarded bits are zero. This is also true for signed operands if all discarded bits are equal to a sign bit.

000001 << 5; /* equals 000040 */
0x3801 << 4; /* equals 0x8010, overflow! */
With shift right
(>>), far right bits are discarded and the “freed” bits on the left are assigned zeroes (in case of unsigned operand) or the value of a sign bit (in case of signed operand). Shifting operand to the right by n positions is equivalent to dividing it by 2n.
0xFF56 >> 4; /* equals 0xFFF5 */
0xFF56u >> 4; /* equals 0x0FF5 */
Bitwise vs. Logical
Do not forget of the principle difference between how bitwise and logical operators work. For example:
0222222 & 0555555; /* equals 000000 */
0222222 && 0555555; /* equals 1 */
~ 0x1234; /* equals 0xEDCB */
! 0x1234; /* equals 0 */
LOGICAL OPERATORS
Operands of logical operations are considered true or false, that is non-zero or zero.
Logical operators always return 1 or 0. Operands in a logical expression must be of scalar type.
Logical operators
&& and
|| associate from left to right. Logical negation operator

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Precedence of logical, relational, and arithmetic operators was designated in such a way to allow complex expressions without parentheses to have an expected meaning: c >= '0' && c <= '9'; /* reads as: (c >= '0') && (c <= '9') */ a + 1 == b || ! f(x); /* reads as: ((a + 1) == b) || (! (f(x)))
*/
Logical AND
&& returns 1 only if both expressions evaluate to be nonzero, otherwise returns 0. If the first expression evaluates to false, the second expression will not be evaluated. For example: a > b && c < d; /* reads as (a > b) && (c < d) */
/* if (a > b) is false (0), (c < d) will not be evaluated */
Logical OR
|| returns 1 if either of expression evaluates to be nonzero, otherwise returns 0. If the first expression evaluates to true, the second expression is not evaluated. For example: a && b || c && d; /* reads as: (a && b) || (c && d) */
/* if (a && b) is true (1), (c && d) will not be evaluated */
Logical Expressions and Side Effects
General rule regarding complex logical expressions is that the evaluation of consecutive logical operands stops at the very moment the final result is known. For example, if we have an expression a && b && c where a is false (0), then operands b and c will not be evaluated. This is very important if b and c are expressions, as their possible side effects will not take place!

0222222 && 0555555 /* equals 1 */
~ 0x1234 /* equals 0xEDCB */
! 0x1234 /* equals 0 */
CONDITIONAL OPERATOR ? :
The conditional operator
?
: is the only ternary operator in C. Syntax of the conditional operator is: expression1 ? expression2 : expression3
The expression1 is evaluated first. If its value is true, then expression2 evaluates and expression3 is ignored. If expression1 evaluates to false, then expression3 evaluates and expression2 is ignored. The result will be a value of either expression2 or expression3 depending upon which of them evaluates.
Note: The fact that only one of these two expressions evaluates is very important if they are expected to produce side effects!
Conditional operator associates from right to left.
Here are a couple of practical examples:
/* Find max(a, b): */ max = ( a > b ) ? a : b;
/* Convert small letter to capital: */
/* (no parentheses are actually necessary) */ c = ( c >= 'a' && c <= 'z' ) ? ( c - 32 ) : c;
Conditional Operator Rules
expression1 must be a scalar expression; expression2 and expression3 must obey one of the following rules:
196 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
1. Both expressions have to be of arithmetic type. expression2 and expression3 are subject to usual arithmetic conversions, which determines the resulting type.
2. Both expressions have to be of compatible struct or union types. The resulting type is a structure or union type of expression2 and expression3
.
3. Both expressions have to be of void type. The resulting type is void.
4. Both expressions have to be of type pointer to qualified or unqualified versionsof compatible types. The resulting type is a pointer to a type qualified with all type qualifiers of the types pointed to by both expressions.
5. One expression is a pointer, and the other is a null pointer constant. The resulting type is a pointer to a type qualified with all type qualifiers of the types pointed to by both expressions.
6. One expression is a pointer to an object or incomplete type, and the other is a pointer to a qualified or unqualified version of void
. The resulting type is that of the non-pointer-tovoid expression.
ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS
Unlike many other programming languages, C treats value assignment as operation
(represented by an operator) rather than instruction.
Simple Assignment Operator
For a common value assignment, a simple assignment operator (=) is used: expression1 = expression2
The expression1 is an object (memory location) to which the value of expression2 is assigned. Operand expression1 has to be lvalue and expression2 can be any expression. The assignment expression itself is not lvalue.
If expression1 and expression2 are of different types, the result of the expression2 will be converted to the type of expression1
, if necessary. Refer to Type
Conversions for more information.
Compound Assignment Operators
C allows more comlex assignments by means of compound assignment operators.
The syntax of compound assignment operators is:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 197
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051 expression1 op= expression2 where op can be one of binary operators +, -, *, /, %, &, |, ^, <<, or >>.
Thus, we have 10 different compound assignment operators:
+=, -=, *=, /=, %=,
&=, |=, ^=, <<= and >>=
. All of them associate from right to left. Spaces separating compound operators (e.g.
+ =
) will generate error.
Compound assignment has the same effect as expression1 = expression1 op expression2 except the lvalue expression1 is evaluated only once. For example, expression1
+= expression2 is the same as expression1
= expression1
+ expression2
.
Assignment Rules
For both simple and compound assignment, the operands expression1 and expression2 must obey one of the following rules:
1. expression1 is of qualified or unqualified arithmetic type and expression2 is of arithmetic type.
2. expression1 has a qualified or unqualified version of structure or union type compatible with the type of expression2
.
3. expression1 and expression2 are pointers to qualified or unqualified versions of compatible types and the type pointed to by left has all qualifiers of the type pointed to by right.
4. Either expression1 or expression2 is a pointer to an object or incomplete type and the other is a pointer to a qualified or unqualified version of void.
The type pointed to by left has all qualifiers of the type pointed to by right.
5. expression1 is a pointer and expression2 is a null pointer constant.
SIZEOF OPERATOR
The prefix unary operator sizeof returns an integer constant that represents the size of memory space (in bytes) used by its operand (determined by its type, with some exceptions).
The operator sizeof can take either a type identifier or an unary expression as an operand. You cannot use sizeof with expressions of function type, incomplete types, parenthesized names of such types, or with lvalue that designates a bit field object.
198 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Sizeof Applied to Expression
If applied to expression, the size of an operand is determined without evaluating the expression (and therefore without side effects). The result of the operation will be the size of the type of the expression’s result.
Sizeof Applied to Type
If applied to a type identifier, sizeof returns the size of the specified type. The unit for type size is sizeof(char) which is equivalent to one byte. The operation sizeof(char) gives the result 1, whether char is signed or unsigned
.
Thus:
sizeof(char) /* returns 1 */
sizeof(int) /* returns 2 */ sizeof(unsigned long) sizeof(float)
/* returns 4 */
/* returns 4 */
When the operand is a non-parameter of array type, the result is the total number of bytes in the array (in other words, an array name is not converted to a pointer type): int i, j, a[10];
...
j = sizeof(a[1]); /* j = sizeof(int) = 2 */ i = sizeof(a); /* i = 10*sizeof(int) = 20 */
/* To get the number of elements in an array: */
int num_elem = i/j;
If the operand is a parameter declared as array type or function type, sizeof gives the size of the pointer. When applied to structures and unions, sizeof gives the total number of bytes, including any padding. The operator sizeof cannot be applied to a function.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 199
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
EXPRESSIONS
Expression is a sequence of operators, operands, and punctuators that specifies a computation. Formally, expressions are defined recursively: subexpressions can be nested without formal limit. However, the compiler will report an out-of-memory error if it can’t compile an expression that is too complex.
In ANSI C, the primary expressions are: constant (also referred to as literal), identifier, and ( expression
), defined recursively.
Expressions are evaluated according to a certain conversion, grouping, associativity and precedence rules, which depends on the operators used, presence of parentheses and data types of the operands. The precedence and associativity of the operators are summarized in Operator Precedence and Associativity. The way operands and subexpressions are grouped does not necessarily specify the actual order in which they are evaluated by the mikroC for 8051.
Expressions can produce lvalue, rvalue, or no value. Expressions might cause side effects whether they produce a value or not.
COMMA EXPRESSIONS
One of the specifics of C is that it allows using of comma as a sequence operator to form so-called comma expressions or sequences. Comma expression is a commadelimited list of expressions – it is formally treated as a single expression so it can be used in places where an expression is expected. The following sequence: expression_1, expression_2; results in the left-to-right evaluation of each expression
, with the value and type of expression_2 giving the result of the whole expression. Result of expression_1 is discarded.
Binary operator comma
(,) has the lowest precedence and associates from left to right, so that a, b, c is the same as
(a, b), c
. This allows writing sequences with any number of expressions: expression_1, expression_2, ... expression_n;
200 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference which results in the left-to-right evaluation of each expression
, with the value and type of expression_n giving the result of the whole expression. Results of other expressions are discarded, but their (possible) side-effect do occur.
For example: result = ( a = 5, b /= 2, c++ );
/* returns preincremented value of variable c, but also intializes a, divides b by 2 and increments c */ result = ( x = 10, y = x + 3, x--, z -= x * 3 - --y );
/* returns computed value of variable z, and also computes x and y */
Note
Do not confuse comma operator (sequence operator) with comma punctuator which separates elements in a function argument list and initializator lists. To avoid ambiguity with commas in function argument and initializer lists, use parentheses. For example, func(i, (j = 1, j + 4), k); calls the function func with three arguments (i, 5, k), not four.
STATEMENTS
Statements specify a flow of control as the program executes. In the absence of specific jump and selection statements, statements are executed sequentially in the order of appearance in the source code.
Statements can be roughly divided into:
- Labeled Statements
- Expression Statements
- Selection Statements
- Iteration Statements (Loops)
- Jump Statements
- Compound Statements (Blocks)
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 201
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
LABELED STATEMENTS
Each statement in a program can be labeled. A label is an identifier added before the statement like this: label_identifier: statement;
There is no special declaration of a label – it just “tags” the statement.
Label_identifier has a function scope and the same label cannot be redefined within the same function.
Labels have their own namespace: label identifier can match any other identifier in the program.
A statement can be labeled for two reasons:
1. The label identifier serves as a target for the unconditional goto statement,
2. The label identifier serves as a target for the switch statement. For this pu rpose, only case and default labeled statements are used: case constant-expression : statement default : statement
EXPRESSION STATEMENTS
Any expression followed by a semicolon forms an expression statement: expression
;
The mikroC for 8051 executes an expression statement by evaluating the expression. All side effects from this evaluation are completed before the next statement starts executing. Most of expression statements are assignment statements or function calls.
A null statement is a special case, consisting of a single semicolon
(;).
The null statement does nothing, and therefore is useful in situations where the mikroC for
8051 syntax expects a statement but the program does not need one. For example, a null statement is commonly used in “empty” loops:
for (; *q++ = *p++ ;); /* body of this loop is a null statement */
202 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
SELECTION STATEMENTS
Selection or flow-control statements select one of alternative courses of action by testing certain values. There are two types of selection statements:
- if
- switch
IF STATEMENT
The if statement is used to implement a conditional statement. The syntax of the if statement is:
if (expression) statement1 [else statement2]
If expression evaluates to true, statement1 executes. If expression is false, statement2 executes. The expression must evaluate to an integral value; otherwise, the condition is ill-formed. Parentheses around the expression are mandatory.
The else keyword is optional, but no statements can come between if and else
.
Nested If statements
Nested if statements require additional attention. A general rule is that the nested conditionals are parsed starting from the innermost conditional, with each else bound to the nearest available if on its left:
if (expression1) statement1
else if (expression2)
if (expression3) statement2
else statement3 /* this belongs to: if (expression3) */
else statement4 /* this belongs to: if (expression2) */
Note
#if and
#else preprocessor statements (directives) look similar to if and else statements, but have very different effects. They control which source file lines are compiled and which are ignored.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 203
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
SWITCH STATEMENT
The switch statement is used to pass control to a specific program branch, based on a certain condition. The syntax of the switch statement is:
switch (expression) {
case constant-expression_1 : statement_1;
.
.
.
case constant-expression_n : statement_n;
[ default : statement;]
}
First, the expression
(condition) is evaluated. The switch statement then compares it to all available constant-expressions following the keyword case. If a match is found, switch passes control to that matching case causing the statement following the match evaluates. Note that constant-expressions must evaluate to integer.
It is not possible to have two same constant expressions evaluating to the same value.
Parentheses around expression are mandatory.
Upon finding a match, program flow continues normally: the following instructions will be executed in natural order regardless of the possible case label. If no case satisfies the condition, the default case evaluates (if the label default is specified).
For example, if a variable i has value between 1 and 3, the following switch would always return it as 4:
switch (i) {
case 1: i++;
case 2: i++;
case 3: i++;
}
To avoid evaluating any other cases and relinquish control from switch, each case should be terminated with break.
Here is a simple example with switch
. Suppose we have a variable phase with only
3 different states (0, 1, or 2) and a corresponding function (event) for each of these states. This is how we could switch the code to the appopriate routine:
204 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
switch (phase) {
case 0: Lo(); break;
case 1: Mid(); break;
case 2: Hi(); break;
default: Message("Invalid state!");
}
Nested switch
Conditional switch statements can be nested – labels case and default are then assigned to the innermost enclosing switch statement.
ITERATION STATEMENTS (LOOPS)
Iteration statements allows to loop a set of statements. There are three forms of iteration statements in the mikroC for 8051:
- while
- do
- for
WHILE STATEMENT
The while keyword is used to conditionally iterate a statement. The syntax of the while statement is:
while (expression) statement
The statement executes repeatedly until the value of expression is false. The test takes place before statement is executed. Thus, if expression evaluates to false on the first pass, the loop does not execute. Note that parentheses around expression are mandatory.
Here is an example of calculating scalar product of two vectors, using the while statement:
int s = 0, i = 0;
while (i < n) { s += a[i] * b[i]; i++;
}
Note that body of the loop can be a null statement. For example:
while (*q++ = *p++);

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
DO STATEMENT
The do statement executes until the condition becomes false. The syntax of the do statement is: do statement while (expression);
The statement is executed repeatedly as long as the value of expression remains non-zero. The expression is evaluated after each iteration, so the loop will execute statement at least once.
Parentheses around expression are mandatory.
Note that do is the only control structure in C which explicitly ends with semicolon
(;).
Other control structures end with statement
, which means that they implicitly include a semicolon or closing brace.
Here is an example of calculating scalar product of two vectors, using the do statement: s = 0; i = 0;
do { s += a[i] * b[i]; i++;
} while ( i < n );
FOR STATEMENT
The for statement implements an iterative loop. The syntax of the for statement is:
for ([init-expression]; [condition-expression]; [increment-expression]) statement
Before the first iteration of the loop, init-expression sets the starting variables for the loop. You cannot pass declarations in init-expression
.
condition-expression ment is checked before the first entry into the block; stateis executed repeatedly until the value of condition-expression is false.
After each iteration of the loop, increment-expression increments a loop counter. Consequently, i++ is functionally the same as
++i
.
All expressions are optional. If condition-expression is left out, it is assumed to be always true. Thus, “empty” for statement is commonly used to create an endless loop in C:
206 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
for ( ; ; ) statement
The only way to break out of this loop is by means of the break statement.
Here is an example of calculating scalar product of two vectors, using the for statement:
for ( s = 0, i = 0; i < n; i++ ) s += a[i] * b[i];
There is another way to do this:
for ( s = 0, i = 0; i < n; s += a[i] * b[i], i++ ); /* valid, but ugly */ but it is considered a bad programming style. Although legal, calculating the sum should not be a part of the incrementing expression, because it is not in the service of loop routine. Note that null statement
(;) is used for the loop body.
JUMP STATEMENTS
The jump statement, when executed, transfers control unconditionally. There are four such statements in the mikroC for 8051:
- break
- continue
- goto
- return
BREAK AND CONTINUE STATEMENTS
Break Statement
Sometimes it is necessary to stop the loop within its body. Use the break statement within loops to pass control to the first statement following the innermost switch, for, while, or do block.
Break is commonly used in the switch statements to stop its execution upon the first positive match. For example:
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 207
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
switch (state) {
case 0: Lo(); break;
case 1: Mid(); break;
case 2: Hi(); break;
default: Message("Invalid state!");
}
Continue Statement
The continue statement within loops is used to “skip the cycle”. It passes control to the end of the innermost enclosing end brace belonging to a looping construct. At that point the loop continuation condition is re-evaluated. This means that continue demands the next iteration if the loop continuation condition is true.
Specifically, the continue statement within the loop will jump to the marked position as it is shown below:
while (..) { do {
... ...
if (val>0) continue; if (val>0) continue;
... ...
// continue jumps here // continue jumps here
} while (..);
for (..;..;..) {
...
if (val>0) continue;
...
// continue jumps here
}
GOTO STATEMENT
The goto statement is used for unconditional jump to a local label — for more information on labels, refer to Labeled Statements. The syntax of the goto statement is:
goto label_identifier ;
This will transfer control to the location of a local label specified by label_identifier
. The label_identifier has to be a name of the label within the same function in which the goto statement is. The goto line can come before or after the label.
208 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference goto is used to break out from any level of nested control structures but it cannot be used to jump into block while skipping that block’s initializations – for example, jumping into loop’s body, etc.
The use of goto statement is generally discouraged as practically every algorithm can be realized without it, resulting in legible structured programs. One possible application of the goto statement is breaking out from deeply nested control structures:
for (...) {
for (...) {
...
if (disaster) goto Error;
...
}
}
.
.
.
Error: /* error handling code */
RETURN STATEMENT
The return statement is used to exit from the current function back to the calling routine, optionally returning a value. The syntax is:
return [expression];
This will evaluate expression and return the result. Returned value will be automatically converted to the expected function type, if needed. The expression is optional; if omitted, the function will return a random value from memory.
Note: The statement return in functions of the void type cannot have expression
– in fact, the return statement can be omitted altogether if it is the last statement in the function body.
COMPOUND STATEMENTS (BLOCKS)
The compound statement, or block, is a list (possibly empty) of statements enclosed in matching braces { }. Syntactically, the block can be considered to be a single statement, but it also plays a role in the scoping of identifiers. An identifier declared within the block has a scope starting at the point of declaration and ending at the closing brace. Blocks can be nested to any depth up to the limits of memory.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 209
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
For example, the for loop expects one statement in its body, so we can pass it a compound statement:
for (i = 0; i < n; i++ ) {
int temp = a[i]; a[i] = b[i]; b[i] = temp;
}
Note that, unlike other statements, compound statements do not end with semicolon
(;), i.e. there is never a semicolon following the closing brace.
PREPROCESSOR
Preprocessor is an integrated text processor which prepares the source code for compiling. Preprocessor allows:
- inserting text from a specifed file to a certain point in the code (see File
Inclusion),
- replacing specific lexical symbols with other symbols (see Macros),
- conditional compiling which conditionally includes or omits parts of the code
(see Conditional Compilation).
Note that preprocessor analyzes text at token level, not at individual character level.
Preprocessor is controled by means of preprocessor directives and preprocessor operators.
PREPROCESSOR DIRECTIVES
Any line in the source code with a leading
# is taken as a preprocessing directive (or control line), unless
# is within a string literal, in a character constant, or embedded in a comment. The initial
# can be preceded or followed by a whitespace (excluding new lines).
A null directive consists of a line containing the single character #. This line is always ignored.
Preprocessor directives are usually placed at the beginning of the source code, but they can legally appear at any point in a program. The mikroC for 8051 preprocessor detects preprocessor directives and parses the tokens embedded in them. A directive is in effect from its declaration to the end of the program file.
210 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Here is one commonly used directive:
#include <math.h>
For more information on including files with the
#include directive, refer to File
Inclusion.
The mikroC for 8051 supports standard preprocessor directives:
# (null directive) #if
#define #ifdef
#elif #ifndef
#else #include
#endif #line
#error #undef
Note: For the time being only funcall pragma is supported.
Line Continuation with Backslash (\)
To break directive into multiple lines end the line with a backslash
(\):
#define MACRO This directive continues to \ the following line.
MACROS
Macros provide a mechanism for a token replacement, prior to compilation, with or without a set of formal, function-like parameters.
Defining Macros and Macro Expansions
The
#define directive defines a macro:
#define macro_identifier <token_sequence>
Each occurrence of macro_identifier in the source code following this control line will be replaced in the original position with the possibly empty token_sequence
(there are some exceptions, which are discussed later). Such replacements are known as macro expansions
.token_sequence
is sometimes called the body of a macro. An empty token sequence results in the removal of each affected macro identifier from the source code.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 211
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
No semicolon
(;) is needed to terminate a preprocessor directive. Any character found in the token sequence, including semicolons, will appear in a macro expansion.
token_sequence terminates at the first non-backslashed new line encountered.
Any sequence of whitespace, including comments in the token sequence, is replaced with a single-space character.
After each individual macro expansion, a further scan is made of the newly expanded text. This allows the possibility of using nested macros: the expanded text can contain macro identifiers that are subject to replacement. However, if the macro expands into something that looks like a preprocessing directive, such directive will not be recognized by the preprocessor. Any occurrences of the macro identifier found within literal strings, character constants, or comments in the source code will not be expanded.
A macro won’t be expanded during its own expansion (so
#define MACRO MACRO won’t expand indefinitely).
Here is an example:
/* Here are some simple macros: */
#define ERR_MSG "Out of range!"
#define EVERLOOP for( ; ; )
/* which we could use like this: */ main() {
EVERLOOP {
...
if (error) { Lcd_Out_Cp(ERR_MSG); break; }
...
}
}
Attempting to redefine an already defined macro identifier will result in a warning unless a new definition is exactly the same token-by-token definition as the existing one. The preferred strategy when definitions might exist in other header files is as follows:
#ifndef BLOCK_SIZE
#define BLOCK_SIZE 512
#endif
The middle line is bypassed if
BLOCK_SIZE is currently defined; if
BLOCK_SIZE is not currently defined, the middle line is invoked to define it.
212 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
Macros with Parameters
The following syntax is used to define a macro with parameters:
#define macro_identifier(<arg_list>) <token_sequence>
Note that there can be no whitespace between macro_identifier and “(”. The optional arg_list is a sequence of identifiers separated by commas, like the argument list of a C function. Each comma-delimited identifier has the role of a formal argument or placeholder.
Such macros are called by writing macro_identifier(<actual_arg_list>) in the subsequent source code. The syntax is identical to that of a function call; indeed, many standard library C “functions” are implemented as macros. However, there are some important semantic differences.
The optional actual_arg_list must contain the same number of comma-delimited token sequences, known as actual arguments, as found in the formal arg_list of the
#define line – there must be an actual argument for each formal argument. An error will be reported if the number of arguments in two lists is not the same.
A macro call results in two sets of replacements. First, the macro identifier and the parenthesis-enclosed arguments are replaced by the token sequence. Next, any formal arguments occurring in the token sequence are replaced by the corresponding real arguments appearing in actual_arg_list
. Like with simple macro definitions, rescanning occurs to detect any embedded macro identifiers eligible for expansion.
Here is a simple example:
/* A simple macro which returns greater of its 2 arguments: */
#define _MAX(A, B) ((A) > (B)) ? (A) : (B)
/* Let's call it: */ x = _MAX(a + b, c + d);
/* Preprocessor will transform the previous line into: x = ((a + b) > (c + d)) ? (a + b) : (c + d) */
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 213
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
It is highly recommended to put parentheses around each argument in the macro body in order to avoid possible problems with operator precedence.
Undefining Macros
The
#undef directive is used to undefine a macro.
#undef macro_identifier
The directive
#undef detaches any previous token sequence from macro_identifier
; the macro definition has been forgotten, and macro_identifier is undefined.
No macro expansion occurs within the
#undef lines.
The state of being defined or undefined is an important property of an identifier, regardless of the actual definition. The
#ifdef and
#ifndef conditional directives, used to test whether any identifier is currently defined or not, offer a flexible mechanism for controlling many aspects of a compilation.
After a macro identifier has been undefined, it can be redefined with
#define, using the same or different token sequence.
FILE INCLUSION
The preprocessor directive
#include pulls in header files (extension
.h
) into the source code. Do not rely on preprocessor to include source files (extension
.c
) — see Add/Remove Files from Project for more information.
The syntax of the
#include directive has two formats:
#include <header_name>
#include "header_name"
The preprocessor removes the
#include line and replaces it with the entire text of a header file at that point in the source code. The placement of
#include can therefore influence the scope and duration of any identifiers in the included file.
The difference between these two formats lies in searching algorithm employed in trying to locate the include file.
If the
#include directive is used with the
<header_name> version, the search is made successively in each of the following locations, in this particular order:
214 MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD
mikroC for 8051
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
1. the mikroC for 8051 installation folder › “include” folder
2. user's custom search paths
The
"header_name" version specifies a user-supplied include file; the mikroC for
8051 will look for the header file in the following locations, in this particular order:
1. the project folder (folder which contains the project file
.ppc
)
2. the mikroC for 8051 installation folder › “include” folder
3. user's custom search paths
Explicit Path
By placing an explicit path in header_name
, only that directory will be searched. For example:
#include "C:\my_files\test.h"
Note
There is also a third version of the
#include directive, rarely used, which assumes that neither < nor " appear as the first non-whitespace character following
#include:
#include macro_identifier
It assumes that macro definition that will expand macro identifier into a valid delimited header name with either
<header_name> or
"header_name" formats exists.
PREPROCESSOR OPERATORS
The
#
(pound sign) is a preprocessor directive when it occurs as the first non-whitespace character on a line. Also,
# and
## perform operator replacement and merging during the preprocessor scanning phase.
Operator #
In C preprocessor, a character sequence enclosed by quotes is considered a token and its content is not analyzed. This means that macro names within quotes are not expanded.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 215
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
If you need an actual argument (the exact sequence of characters within quotes) as a result of preprocessing, use the
# operator in macro body. It can be placed in front of a formal macro argument in definition in order to convert the actual argument to a string after replacement.
For example, let’s have macro
LCD_PRINT for printing variable name and value on
LCD:
#define LCD_PRINT(val) Lcd_Custom_Out_Cp(#val ": "); \
Lcd_Custom_Out_Cp(IntToStr(val));
Now, the following code,
LCD_PRINT(temp) will be preprocessed to this:
Lcd_Custom_Out_Cp("temp" ": "); Lcd_Custom_Out_Cp(IntToStr(temp));
Operator ##
Operator
## is used for token pasting. Two tokens can be pasted(merged) together by placing
## in between them (plus optional whitespace on either side). The preprocessor removes whitespace and
##, combining the separate tokens into one new token. This is commonly used for constructing identifiers.
For example, see the definition of macro
SPLICE for pasting two tokens into one identifier:
#define SPLICE(x,y) x ## _ ## y
Now, the call
SPLICE(cnt, 2) will expand to the identifier cnt_2
.
Note
The mikroC for 8051 does not support the older nonportable method of token pasting using
(l/**/r)
.

CHAPTER 5
Language Reference
CONDITIONAL COMPILATION
Conditional compilation directives are typically used to make source programs easy to change and easy to compile in different execution environments. The mikroC for
8051 supports conditional compilation by replacing the appropriate source-code lines with a blank line.
All conditional compilation directives must be completed in the source or include file in which they have begun.
Directives #if, #elif, #else, and #endif
The conditional directives
#if, #elif, #else, and
#endif work very similar to the common C conditional statements. If the expression you write after
#if has a nonzero value, the line group immediately following the
#if directive is retained in the translation unit.
The syntax is:
#if constant_expression_1
<section_1>
[#elif constant_expression_2
<section_2>]
...
[#elif constant_expression_n
<section_n>]
[#else
<final_section>]
#endif
Each
#if directive in a source file must be matched by a closing
#endif directive.
Any number of
#elif directives can appear between
#if and
#endif directives, but at most one
#else directive is allowed. The
#else directive, if present, must be the last directive before
#endif.
sections can be any program text that has meaning to compiler or preprocessor.
The preprocessor selects a single section by evaluating constant_expression following each
#if or
#elif directive until it finds a true (nonzero) constant expression. The constant expressions are subject to macro expansion.
MIKROELEKTRONIKA - SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE SOLUTIONS FOR EMBEDDED WORLD 217
CHAPTER 5
Language Reference mikroC for 8051
If all occurrences of constant-expression are false, or if no
#elif directives appear, the preprocessor selects the text block after the
#else clause. If the
#else clause is omitted and all instances of constant_expression in the
#if block are false, no section is selected for further processing.
Any processed section can contain further conditional clauses, nested to any depth.
Each nested
#else
,
#elif
, or
#endif directive belongs to the closest preceding the
#if directive.
The net result of the preceding scenario is that only one code section
(possibly empty) will be compiled.
Directives #ifdef and #ifndef
The
#ifdef and
#ifndef directives can be used anywhere
#if can be used and they can test whether an identifier is currently defined or not. The line
#ifdef identifier has exactly the same effect as
#if 1 if identifier is currently defined, and the same effect as
#if 0 if identifier is currently undefined. The other directive,
#ifndef, tests true for the “not-defined” condition, producing the opposite results.
The syntax thereafter follows that of
#if, #elif, #else, and #endif.
An identifier defined as
NULL is considered to be defined.

CANSPI LIBRARY
The SPI module is available with a number of the 8051 compliant MCUs. The mikroC for 8051 provides a library (driver) for working with mikroElektronika's
CANSPI Add-on boards (with MCP2515 or MCP2510) via SPI interface.
The CAN is a very robust protocol that has error detection and signalization, self–checking and fault confinement. Faulty CAN data and remote frames are retransmitted automatically, similar to the Ethernet.
Data transfer rates depend on distance. For example, 1 Mbit/s can be achieved at network lengths below 40m while 250 Kbit/s can be achieved at network lengths below 250m. The greater distance the lower maximum bitrate that can be achieved.
The lowest bitrate defined by the standard is 200Kbit/s. Cables used are shielded twisted pairs.
CAN supports two message formats:
- Standard format, with 11 identifier bits and
- Extended format, with 29 identifier bits
Note:
- Consult the CAN standard about CAN bus termination resistance.
- An effective CANSPI communication speed depends on SPI and certainly is slower than “real” CAN.
- CANSPI module refers to mikroElektronika's CANSPI Add-on board connected to SPI module of MCU.
External dependecies of CANSPI Library
The following variables must be defined in all projects using
CANSPI Library:
extern sbit CanSpi_CS;
extern sbit CanSpi_Rst;

CANSPI_TX_NO_RTR_FRAME;
...
CANSPIWrite(id, data, 1, send_config);
CANSPI_RX_MSG_FLAGS
CANSPI_RX_MSG_FLAGS are flags related to reception of CAN message. If a particular bit is set then corresponding meaning is TRUE or else it will be FALSE.

Description Writes wrdata to specified address.
Parameters :
- address
: address of the EEPROM memory location to be written.
- wrdata
: data to be written.
Note: Specified memory location will be erased before writing starts.
Requires Nothing
Example unsigned short eeWrite = 0x55;
unsigned int wrAddr = 0x732;
...
Eeprom_Write(wrAddr, eeWrite);
Eeprom_Write_Block
Prototype unsigned short Eeprom_Write_Block(unsigned int address, unsigned short *ptrdata);
Returns -
0 writing was successful
-
1 if error occured
Description Writes one EEPROM row (32 bytes block) of data.
Parameters :
- address
: starting address of the EEPROM memory block to be written.
- ptrdata
: data block to be written.
Note: Specified memory block will be erased before writing starts.
Requires EEPROM module must support block write operations.
It is the user's responsibility to maintain proper address alignment.
In this case, address has to be a multiply of 32, which is the size
(in bytes) of one row of MCU's EEPROM memory.
Example unsigned int wrAddr = 0x0100;
unsigned short iArr[32] = {'m', 'i', 'k', 'r', 'o',
'E', 'l', 'e', 'k', 't', 'r', 'o', 'n', 'i', 'k', 'a',

ONEWIRE LIBRARY
The OneWire library provides routines for communication via the Dallas OneWire protocol, e.g. with DS18x20 digital thermometer. OneWire is a Master/Slave protocol, and all communication cabling required is a single wire. OneWire enabled devices should have open collector drivers (with single pull-up resistor) on the shared data line.
Slave devices on the OneWire bus can even get their power supply from data line.
For detailed schematic see device datasheet.
Some basic characteristics of this protocol are:
- single master system,
- low cost,
- low transfer rates (up to 16 kbps),
- fairly long distances (up to 300 meters),
- small data transfer packages.
Each OneWire device has also a unique 64-bit registration number (8-bit device type, 48-bit serial number and 8-bit CRC), so multiple slaves can co-exist on the same bus.
Note: Oscillator frequency Fosc needs to be at least 8MHz in order to use the routines with Dallas digital thermometers.

This variable must be defined in any project that is using OneWire

MANCHESTER CODE LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides a library for handling Manchester coded signals. The
Manchester code is a code in which data and clock signals are combined to form a single self-synchronizing data stream; each encoded bit contains a transition at the midpoint of a bit period, the direction of transition determines whether the bit is 0 or 1; the second half is the true bit value and the first half is the complement of the true bit value (as shown in the figure below).
Notes: The Manchester receive routines are blocking calls (
Man_Receive_Init and
Man_Synchro
). This means that MCU will wait until the task has been performed
(e.g. byte is received, synchronization achieved, etc).
External dependencies of Manchester Code Library
The following variables must be defined in all projects using
Manchester Code
Library:
Description: Example :
extern sbit MANRXPIN;

Libraries mikroC for 8051
PS/2 LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides a library for communication with the common PS/2 keyboard.
Note: The library does not utilize interrupts for data retrieval, and requires the oscillator clock to be at least 6MHz.
Note: The pins to which a PS/2 keyboard is attached should be connected to the pullup resistors.
Note: Although PS/2 is a two-way communication bus, this library does not provide
MCU-to-keyboard communication; e.g. pressing the Caps Lock key will not turn on the Caps Lock LED.
External dependencies of PS/2 Library
The following variables must be defined in all projects using PS/2 Library:
Description: Example :
extern sbit PS2_DATA;
extern sbit PS2_CLOCK;
PS/2 Data line.
sbit PS2_DATA at P0.B0;
PS/2 Clock line.
sbit PS2_CLOCK at P0.B1;
Library Routines
- Ps2_Config
- Ps2_Key_Read
Ps2_Config
Prototype void Ps2_Config();
Returns Nothing.
Description Initializes the MCU for work with the PS/2 keyboard.
Requires Global variables :
-
PS2_DATA
: Data signal pin
-
PS2_CLOCK
: Clock signal pin must be defined before using this function.
Example // PS2 pinout definition
sbit PS2_DATA at P0.B0;
sbit PS2_CLOCK at P0.B1;
...

Ps2_Key_Read
Prototype unsigned short Ps2_Key_Read(unsigned short *value,
unsigned short *special, unsigned short *pressed);
Returns -
1 if reading of a key from the keyboard was successful
-
0 if no key was pressed
Description The function retrieves information on key pressed.
Parameters :
- value
: holds the value of the key pressed. For characters, numerals, punctuation marks, and space value will store the appropriate ASCII code. Routine “recognizes” the function of
Shift and Caps Lock, and behaves appropriately. For special function keys see Special Function Keys Table.
- special
: is a flag for special function keys (F1, Enter, Esc, etc).
If key pressed is one of these, special will be set to 1, otherwise 0.
- pressed
: is set to 1 if the key is pressed, and 0 if it is released.
Requires PS/2 keyboard needs to be initialized. See Ps2_Config routine.
Example unsigned short value, special, pressed;
...
// Press Enter to continue:
do {
if (Ps2_Key_Read(&value, &special, &pressed)) {
if ((value == 13) && (special == 1)) break;

RS-485 LIBRARY
RS-485 is a multipoint communication which allows multiple devices to be connected to a single bus. The mikroC for 8051 provides a set of library routines for comfortable work with RS485 system using Master/Slave architecture. Master and Slave devices interchange packets of information. Each of these packets contains synchronization bytes, CRC byte, address byte and the data. Each Slave has unique address and receives only packets addressed to it. The Slave can never initiate communication.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that only one device transmits via 485 bus at a time.
The RS-485 routines require the UART module. Pins of UART need to be attached to RS-485 interface transceiver, such as LTC485 or similar (see schematic at the bottom of this page).
Library constants:
- START byte value =
150
- STOP byte value =
169
- Address
50 is the broadcast address for all Slaves (packets containing address
50 will be received by all Slaves except the Slaves with addresses
150 and
169
).
External dependencies of RS-485 Library
The following variable must be defined in all projects using
RS-485 Library:
Description: Example : extern sbit rs485_transceive;

Returns Nothing.
Description Sends message to Master. Message format can be found at the bottom of this page.
Parameters :
- data_buffer
: data to be sent
- datalen
: number of bytes for transmition. Valid values: 0...3.
Requires MCU must be initialized as a Slave for RS-485 communication.
See RS485slave_Init. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure (by protocol) that only one device sends data via 485 bus at a time.

Library Example
This is a simple demonstration of RS485 Library routines usage.
Master sends message to Slave with address 160 and waits for a response. The Slave accepts data, increments it and sends it back to the Master. Master then does the same and sends incremented data back to Slave, etc.
Master displays received data on P0, while error on receive (0xAA) and number of consecutive unsuccessful retries are displayed on P1. Slave displays received data on P0, while error on receive (0xAA) is displayed on P1. Hardware configurations in this example are made for the Easy8051B board and AT89S8253.

SOFTWARE I²C LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides routines for implementing Software I²C communication. These routines are hardware independent and can be used with any MCU. The
Software I²C library enables you to use MCU as Master in I²C communication.
Multi-master mode is not supported.
Note: This library implements time-based activities, so interrupts need to be disabled when using Software I²C.
Note: All I²C Library functions are blocking-call functions (they are waiting for I²C clock line to become logical one).
Note: The pins used for I²C communication should be connected to the pull-up resistors. Turning off the LEDs connected to these pins may also be required.
External dependecies of Soft_I2C Library
The following variables must be defined in all projects using

SPI ETHERNET LIBRARY
The ENC28J60 is a stand-alone Ethernet controller with an industry standard Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI™). It is designed to serve as an Ethernet network interface for any controller equipped with SPI.
The ENC28J60 meets all of the IEEE 802.3 specifications. It incorporates a number of packet filtering schemes to limit incoming packets. It also provides an internal
DMA module for fast data throughput and hardware assisted IP checksum calculations. Communication with the host controller is implemented via two interrupt pins and the SPI, with data rates of up to 10 Mb/s. Two dedicated pins are used for LED link and network activity indication.
This library is designed to simplify handling of the underlying hardware
(
ENC28J60
). It works with any 8051 MCU with integrated SPI and more than 4 Kb
ROM memory.
SPI Ethernet library supports:
- IPv4 protocol.
- ARP requests.
- ICMP echo requests.
- UDP requests.
- TCP requests (no stack, no packet reconstruction).
- packet fragmentation is NOT supported.
Note: For advanced users there are header files ( "eth_enc28j60LibDef.h" and
"eth_enc28j60LibPrivate.h"
) in Uses folder of the compiler with description of all routines and global variables, relevant to the user, implemented in the SPI
Ethernet Library.
Note: The appropriate hardware SPI module must be initialized before using any of the SPI Ethernet library routines. Refer to Spi Library.

Description This is MAC module routine. This routine enables appropriate network traffic on the
ENC28J60 module by the means of it's receive filters (unicast, multicast, broadcast, crc). Specific type of network traffic will be enabled if a corresponding bit of this routine's input parameter is set. Therefore, more than one type of network traffic can be enabled at the same time. For this purpose, predefined library constants (see the table below) can be ORed to form appropriate input value.
Parameters:
- enFlt
: network traffic/receive filter flags. Each bit corresponds to the appropriate network traffic/receive filter:

SPI T6963C GRAPHIC LCD LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides a library for working with GLCDs based on TOSHI-
BA T6963C controller via SPI interface. The Toshiba T6963C is a very popular
LCD controller for the use in small graphics modules. It is capable of controlling displays with a resolution up to 240x128. Because of its low power and small outline it is most suitable for mobile applications such as PDAs, MP3 players or mobile measurement equipment. Although this controller is small, it has a capability of displaying and merging text and graphics and it manages all interfacing signals to the displays Row and Column drivers.
For creating a custom set of GLCD images use GLCD Bitmap Editor Tool.
Note: The library uses the SPI module for communication. The user must initialize
SPI module before using the Spi T6963C GLCD Library.
Note: This Library is designed to work with mikroElektronika's Serial GLCD
240x128 and 240x64 Adapter Boards pinout, see schematic at the bottom of this page for details.
Note: Some mikroElektronika's adapter boards have pinout different from T6369C datasheets. Appropriate relations between these labels are given in the table below:

T6963C GRAPHIC LCD LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides a library for working with GLCDs based on TOSHI-
BA T6963C controller. The Toshiba T6963C is a very popular LCD controller for the use in small graphics modules. It is capable of controlling displays with a resolution up to 240x128. Because of its low power and small outline it is most suitable for mobile applications such as PDAs, MP3 players or mobile measurement equipment. Although small, this contoller has a capability of displaying and merging text and graphics and it manages all the interfacing signals to the displays Row and
Column drivers.
For creating a custom set of GLCD images use GLCD Bitmap Editor Tool.
Note: ChipEnable(CE), FontSelect(FS) and Reverse(MD) have to be set to appropriate levels by the user outside of the
T6963C_Init function. See the Library
Example code at the bottom of this page.
Note: Some mikroElektronika's adapter boards have pinout different from T6369C datasheets. Appropriate relations between these labels are given in the table below:

T6963C_Write_Char
Prototype void T6963C_Write_Char(unsigned char c, unsigned char x, unsigned char y, unsigned char mode);
Returns Nothing.
Description Writes a char in the current text panel of GLCD at coordinates (x, y).
Parameters :
- c
: char to be written
- x
: char position on x-axis
- y
: char position on y-axis
- mode: mode parameter. Valid values:
T6963C_ROM_MODE_OR, T6963C_ROM_MODE_XOR,
T6963C_ROM_MODE_AND and T6963C_ROM_MODE_TEXT
Mode parameter explanation:
- OR Mode: In the OR-Mode, text and graphics can be displayed and the data is logically “OR-ed”. This is the most common way of combining text and graphics for example labels on buttons.
- XOR-Mode: In this mode, the text and graphics data are com bined via the logical “exclusive OR”. This can be useful to dis play text in the negative mode, i.e. white text on black back ground.
- AND-Mode: The text and graphic data shown on display are combined via the logical “AND function”.
- TEXT-Mode: This option is only available when displaying just a text. The Text Attribute values are stored in the graphic area of display memory.
For more details see the T6963C datasheet.
Requires Toshiba GLCD module needs to be initialized. See the
T6963C_Init routine.

SPRINT LIBRARY
The mikroC for 8051 provides the standard ANSI C Sprintf function for easy data formatting.
Note: In addition to ANSI C standard, the Sprint Library also includes two limited versions of the sprintf function (sprinti and sprintl). These functions take less ROM and RAM and may be more convenient for use in some cases.
Functions
- sprintf
- sprintl
- sprinti
sprintf
Prototype sprintf( char *wh, const char *f,...);
Returns The function returns the number of characters actually written to destination string.
Description sprintf is used to format data and print them into destination string.
Parameters :
- wh:
- f: destination string format string
The f argument is a format string and may be composed of characters, escape sequences, and format specifications. Ordinary characters and escape sequences are copied to the destination string in the order in which they are interpreted. Format specifications always begin with a percent sign
(%) and require additional arguments to be included in the function call.
The format string is read from left to right. The first format specification encountered refers to the first argument after f and then converts and outputs it using the format specification. The second format specification accesses the second argument after f, and so on. If there are more arguments than format specifications, then these extra arguments are ignored. Results are unpredictable if there are not enough arguments for the format specifications. The format specifications have the following format:

Description % [flags] [width] [.precision] [{ l | L }] conversion_type
Each field in the format specification can be a single character or a number which specifies a particular format option. The conversion_type field is where a single character specifies that the argument is interpreted as a character, string, number, or pointer, as shown in the following table: conversion_type d
Argument
Type int
Output Format
Signed decimal number u unsigned int Unsigned decimal number o x

Libraries
Description s p
% char * void *
<none>
String with a terminating null character
Pointer value, the X format is used
A % is written. No argument is converted. The complete conversion specification shall be
%%.
The flags field is where a single character is used to justify the output and to print +/- signs and blanks, decimal points, and octal and hexadecimal prefixes, as shown in the following table.
-
+
#
* flags space (' ')
Meaning
Left justify the output in the specified field width.
Prefix the output value with + or - sign if the output is a signed type.
Prefix the output value with a blank if it is a signed positive value. Otherwise, no blank is prefixed
Prefixes a non-zero output value with
0, 0x, or
0X when used with o, x, and
X field types, respectively. When used with e, E, f, g, and
G field types, the
# flag forces the output value to include a decimal point. The # flag is ignored in all other cases.
Ignore format specifier.
The width field is a non-negative number that specifies the minimum number of printed characters. If a number of characters in the output value is less than width, then blanks are added on the left or right (when the - flag is specified) to pad to the minimum width. If width is prefixed with 0, then zeros are padded instead of blanks. The width field never truncates a field. If a length of the output value exceeds the specified width, all characters are output.
The precision field is a non-negative number that specifies a number of characters to print, number of significant digits or number of decimal places. The precision field can cause truncation or rounding of the output value in the case of a floating-point number as specified in the following table.

Libraries mikroC for 8051
Description flags Meaning of the precision field d, u, o, x,
X f e,E g c,C s
The precision field is where you specify a minimum number of digits that will be included in the output value. Digits are not truncated if the number of digits in the argument exceeds that defined in the precision field. If a number of digits in the argument is less than the precision field, the output value is padded on the left with zeros.
The precision field is where you specify a number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
The last digit is rounded.
The precision field is where you specify a number of digits to the right of the decimal point.
The last digit is rounded.
The precision field is where you specify a maximum number of significant digits in the output value.
The precision field has no effect on these field types.
The precision field is where you specify a maximum number of characters in the output value.
Excess characters are not output.
The optional characters l or L may immediately precede conversion_type to respectively specify long versions of the integer types d, i, u, o, x, and
X
.
You must ensure that the argument type matches that of the format specification. You can use type casts to ensure that the proper type is passed to sprintf
.

TIME LIBRARY
The Time Library contains functions and type definitions for time calculations in the
UNIX time format which counts the number of seconds since the "epoch". This is very convenient for programs that work with time intervals: the difference between two UNIX time values is a real-time difference measured in seconds.
What is the epoch?
Originally it was defined as the beginning of 1970 GMT. ( January 1, 1970 Julian day ) GMT, Greenwich Mean Time, is a traditional term for the time zone in
England.
The TimeStruct type is a structure type suitable for time and date storage. Type declaration is contained in timelib.h which can be found in the mikroC for 8051 Time
Library Demo example folder.
Library Routines
- Time_dateToEpoch
- Time_epochToDate
Time_dateToEpoch
Prototype long Time_dateToEpoch(TimeStruct *ts);
Returns Number of seconds since January 1, 1970 0h00mn00s.
Description This function returns the unix time : number of seconds since
January 1, 1970 0h00mn00s.
Parameters :
- ts: time and date value for calculating unix time.
Requires Nothing.
Example #include "timelib.h"
...
TimeStruct ts1;
