Question: Is it possible to define and use bit addressable variable in C?
Answer: PSoC does not have any bit addressable instructions. So, to operate on bits, bit masks should be used. For example, to set bit 0 of a variable
MyVariable |= 0x01;
To clear bit 0,
MyVariable &= ~0x01;
The above applies to ImageCraft compiler. In HiTech you can do bit operations using "bit" type variables. For example:
bit MyBitVariable;
MyVariable = 1;
MyVariable = 0;
HiTech actually translates the above instructions into setting and clearing bits in an 8 bit variable using bit masking. For details on "bit" type variable refer the HiTech compiler user manual.
