Using what assembler or compiler?

If you are using MPASM (and I am new to this so be gentile if I am
wrong)...how about the "fill" directive.

From the MPASM help file:  <label> fill <expr>, count

Generates <count> occurrences of the program word .... <expr>

If you used this after the last real instruction in your program then
<label> will have the value of the first location you want to zero.  The
last address depends on the processor type but is certainly known in
advance.  Call it lastProgramAddress.

I assume something like this would work

ZeroFill: fill 0,lastProgramAddress - ZeroFill + 1

Subject: [PIC]: filling unused program memory


I would like to fill in unused portions of the program memory with a
specific value (0x0000), but am unsure how this can be done without
tediously inserting the values manually or by using FILL directives
throughout the code.  Using a FILL directive at the very beginning of code
of course will give me overwrite errors when compiled.  Any suggestions?
