LANGUAGE EXTENSIONS

To provide additional support for some frequently used features of embedded applications,
the eZ80Acclaim! C-Compiler implements the following extensions to the ANSI C stan-
dard:

“Interrupt Support” on page 135

The eZ80Acclaim! CPU supports various interrupts. The C-Compiler provides
language extensions to designate a function as an interrupt service routine and
provides features to set each interrupt vector.

“Inline Assembly” on page 143

The C-Compiler provides directives for embedding assembly instructions and
directives into the C program.

“Placement Directives” on page 142

The placement directives allow users to place objects at specific hardware addresses
and align objects at a given alignment.

“fract Keyword” on page 144

The C-Compiler supports numerical types of several sizes that are used for fractional
fixed-point representations of values in the range –1 to 1.

“Char and Short Enumerations” on page 146

The enumeration data type is defined as

int

as per ANSI C. The C-Compiler provides

language extensions to specify the enumeration data type to be other than

int

.

“Supported New Features from the 1999 Standard” on page 147

The eZ80Acclaim! C-Compiler is based on the 1989 ANSI C standard. Some new
features from the 1999 standard are supported in this compiler for ease of use.

Interrupt Support

To support interrupts, the eZ80Acclaim! C-Compiler provides two features. These are
described in the following sections along with some practical information on how to use
interrupts in your C application for the eZ80Acclaim!:
