GIE not set

Postby bdrmachine » Tue Jan 05, 2016 2:09 am

I wrote a quick MPLABX XC8 project to debug my original 18F4620 program. For some reason the interrupt control bits do not get set up. GIE and PEIE never get changed in the watch window even while single stepping through the code. Could some one please tell me why this code doesn't work?

Thanks Much for this and all the insight this forum has given me!

It might be a fault with the watch window operation. Have you tried to examine the register, but not through the watch window, when you have stepped to just after the code line where you set the bit(s)?

I looked at the variables window, the results are the same.

I'm using MPLABX 3.15 on a linux (Ubuntu 15.05 ) system if that helps any.

Oh I forgot one other detail. I'm using a MPLAB Real ICE debugger.

I would agree with Susan, that this is probably an artifact of how the debugger works.
Try copying the INTCON register into another variable, and then watch that variable to see if GIE (bit 7) and PEIE (bit 6) get set.

You haven't said if your code works as expected or not.

I had reported a bug in the handling of GIE in MPLAB X when using a hardware debugger (it was always 0) but I don't know if it was ever fixed.
