Hello,
i am using htsoft picc lite compile to generate code for pic 16f84. i see
that compiler doesn't produce the necessary bankswitch instructions
(setting/clearing rp0 bit) while accessing the variables in different
banks.

for instance:
unsigned char bank1 var1;
unsigned char var2;

var1++;
var2++;

for this piece of code, i would like it to issue bank switch instructions
before accessing the variables. i know this is unnecessary as the banks
are shadowd.

the reason why i am asking is:

i am developing an application in 16f84 simulator. after writing the code,
i realize that 68 bytes of ram is insuffcient. i need more memory.
however, i don't have time to change the simulator to simulate a bigger
processor. so, i changed the simulator such that two banks are not
shadowed and there are two separate memory banks. i could access the
correct banks if the rp0 bit is set correctly.

is there any way to force the compiler to generate these bank switch
instructions?

thanks,
Deva Seetharam
