Hi,

have you noticed any strange behavior of the MPLAB stopwatch window?

I have some code containing a call to a routine that contains calls to
other routines. Well, if I step to the outer call, reset the stopwatch
and press F8 (Step Over) I get 245 cycles for the execution of the call.
But, if I press F7 (Step) on the outer call (entering in the middle
routine) then I proceed using F8 (stepping over the inner calls), I get
253 cycles to complete the call. If I execute every single instruction
using F7 the total is 244 cycles.

I am using version 3.40.00 of MPLAB but I've noticed similar behavior
with version 3.31.

Any idea? What is the right value? Can I use the results as a lottery
prediction?

Ciao
  Marco
