3.6 Overlaying</A>
</H2>
<P>
For non-reentrant functions SDCC will try to reduce internal ram space
usage by overlaying parameters and local variables of a function (if
possible). Parameters and local variables of a function will be allocated
to an overlayable segment if the function has <I>no other function
calls and the function is non-reentrant and the memory model is small.</I>
If an explicit storage class is specified for a local variable, it
will NOT be overlayed.
<P>
Note that the compiler (not the linkage editor) makes the decision
for overlaying the data items. Functions that are called from an interrupt
service routine should be preceded by a #pragma&nbsp;NOOVERLAY if they
are not reentrant.
<P>
Also note that the compiler does not do any processing of inline assembler
code, so the compiler might incorrectly assign local variables and
parameters of a function into the overlay segment if the inline assembler
code calls other c-functions that might use the overlay. In that case
the #pragma&nbsp;NOOVERLAY should be used.
<P>
Parameters and Local variables of functions that contain 16 or 32
bit multiplication or division will NOT be overlayed since these are
implemented using external functions, e.g.:
<BR>
<BR>
<TT>#pragma SAVE </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>#pragma NOOVERLAY </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>void set_error(unsigned char errcd) </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>{</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;P3 = errcd;</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>} </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>#pragma RESTORE </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>void some_isr () interrupt 2 using 1 </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>{</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;...</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;set_error(10);</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;... </TT>&nbsp;
<BR>
<TT>}</TT>&nbsp;
<BR>&nbsp;
<BR>
In the above example the parameter <I>errcd</I> for the function <I>set_error</I>
would be assigned to the overlayable segment if the #pragma&nbsp;NOOVERLAY
was not present, this could cause unpredictable runtime behavior when
called from an ISR. The #pragma&nbsp;NOOVERLAY ensures that the parameters
and local variables for the function are NOT overlayed.
<P>
