Syntax

#pragma location={address|NAME}

Parameters

Description

Use this pragma directive to specify the location—the absolute address—of the global or static variable whose declaration follows the pragma directive. The directive can also take a string specifying a section for placing either a variable or a function whose declaration follows the pragma directive. Do not place variables that would normally be in different sections—for example, variables declared as __no_init and variables declared as const—in the same named section.

Example

#pragma location=0x2000
__no_init volatile char PORT1; /* PORT1 is located at address
                                  0x2000 */

#pragma segment="FLASH"
#pragma location="FLASH"
__no_init char PORT2; /* PORT2 is located in section FLASH */

/* A better way is to use a corresponding mechanism */
#define FLASH _Pragma("location=\"FLASH\"")
/* ... */
FLASH __no_init int i; /* i is placed in the FLASH section */
