Hi,
During porting of some old code to an 18F452 chip I've discovered
an strange error that I cannot figure out.
I have one part of the access ram that is dedicated to local variables
for use inside routines only ( i.e. never to be assumed persistent
across calls).
I have declared the bank portion as:

..
DATABANK   NAME=3Daccesstmp  START=3D0x7A     END=3D0x7D=09
..
SECTION         NAME=3DACCESS_TEMP      RAM=3Daccesstmp
..

In the linker control file, then 'declaring' ram I use:

ACCESS_TEMP     UDATA_OVR       ; overlaid temp data
Temp    RES 4                   ; temp used in divison and fixed point
routines


Now this ram is located in side the 0x00-0x7F access data range and
hence the compiler/linker should not use the BSR register for access.

But looking at the output is does, this code:

        CLRF    Temp     ;
        CLRF    Temp+1   ;
        CLRF    Temp+2   ;

generates:

6B7A    : CLRF  0x7A,0x1
6B7B    : CLRF  0x7B,0x1
6B7C    : CLRF  0x7C,0x1

Which indeed are using the BSR for access as the highest bit low byte
is set.

Why is this ? do I need to manually add the ',A', I belive that this
should not be needed, is there something I'm doing wrong or can be
done in another way to accomplish the correct result ?

BTW: Mplab IDE 6.10.00

Thanks In advance,

/Tony
