Hey folks. I've been using SDCC for many years, but this is one
issue I've not run across before.
I'm writing some code for an 87C751 microcontroller, and I looked
at some of SDCC's .rst files, and noticed lots of LCALL and LJMP
instructions. The 87C751 doesn't implement LCALL or LJMP (nor MOVX
for that matter) because it has only 2KB of on-chip code memory and
no external RAM capabilities. If memory serves, the offset width for
ACALL and AJMP is 11 bits, which should be enough to cover the entire
2KB code space on this chip. So...can SDCC be told to only generate
ACALL instructions if the target address is within range?
This also (obviously) has significant code size implications, as
an LCALL is three bytes long whereas an ACALL is only two bytes long.
Unless, of course, I've not yet had enough caffeine and am missing
something stupid and obvious.
