In the MPASM guide this bit is called the "a" bit, right?
Like in "DECF f, d, a", not?

And the guide also says:

RAM access bit
a =3D 0: RAM location in Access RAM (BSR register is ignored)
a =3D 1: RAM bank is specified by BSR register (default)

Not fully clear what "default" relates to here...

=C4mne: [PIC] Moving code from gpasm to mpasmx


I'm returning to PIC programming after a break of a few years (mostly
playing with Raspberry Pis).

I've just installed MPLABX and so far it's been a positive experience.

The one thing I'm not sure about is this....

My old gpasm code has lots of instructions which explicitly set the "B"
bit for variables in banked memory.

Apart from MPLABX using "BANKED" rather than just "B", it seems from the
bits of test code I've written that explicitly setting the banked bit is no
longer required as the assembler (or linker?) can set it when it sees memor=
y
addresses in instructions which are not in the access bank.

Have I got this right ?
