I'm not sure if this is a bug or just questionable coding, so I'll
ask here before reporting it as a bug. I'm trying to figure out why someone
elses code tha works on snaps less than 5559 but not after 5560 is broken (so
far without success :-)). While poking at that I came across this change where
the same code sometimes gets a warning and sometimes doesn't:
$ cat test4.c
#include <w7100.h>
typedef unsigned char uint8;
typedef volatile unsigned char vuint8;
#define COMMON_BASE 0x0000
#define UIPR0 ((volatile __xdata uint8 *)(COMMON_BASE + 0x002A))
// required for IINCHIP_WRITE and IINCHIP_READ port for SDCC to
// avoid compiler use of non mapped memory access while banking
static __data uint8 w_d;
uint8 IINCHIP_READ(__xdata vuint8 *addr) __reentrant __critical
{
w_d = *((__xdata vuint8 *)(addr));
return w_d;
}
main()
{
static __xdata uint8 invalid_ip[4];
invalid_ip[0] = IINCHIP_READ(UIPR0+1);
return (0);
}
This compiler is snap 5559 compiled from source
pe...@pc700 ~/wiznet/nos_test
$ sdcc -v
SDCC : mcs51/gbz80/z80/avr/ds390/pic16/pic14/TININative/xa51/ds400/hc08 2.9.4 #
(Dec 31 2010) (CYGWIN)
pe...@pc700 ~/wiznet/nos_test
$ /usr/local//bin/sdcc -c test4.c
pe...@pc700 ~/wiznet/nos_test
$
Note it doesn't complain about the conversion without a cast in the line
invalid_ip[0] = IINCHIP_READ(UIPR0+1);
where UIPR0 is in fact a pointer to an unsigned char and thus is doing pointer
arithmatic (nor am I a good enough C coder to know if it should be complaining
or not :-)).
nor does a recent 3_0_1
snapshot
pe...@pc700 ~/wiznet/nos_test
$ "/cygdrive/c/program files/SDCC3_0_1"/bin/sdcc -v

but snap 5560 (and I think some later ones, I've been binary searching for the
failure point through previous snaps :-)) issues a warning about the lack of
a cast.
This compiler is snap 5560 compiled from source (which also breaks the full code
for reasons as yet unknown) which does complain about the lack of a cast.
pe...@pc700 ~/wiznet/nos_test
$ /usr/local//bin/sdcc -c test4.c
test4.c:25: warning 154: converting integral to pointer without a cast

Comments on a reportable bug or operator error in the form of poor
coding practice (the original code from Wiznet that this is based on is full
of poor coding practices :-))?
