That's because TI's standard headers define the pre-processor symbol
'C' as
"the carry flag in the status register". Same with N, Z, V and other flags.
This is bad on so many levels, I can't tell you. Polluting user
namespace
with these is really, really bad.

Thanks Anders,
I left out the body mostly because the program is quite large and didn't
really contain anything that I could see a problem with. The problem
only
occurred if I changed a function to one that contained a parameter.
Anyway,
last night after a few hours I discovered the problem. It seems as
though I
declared a parameter variable within the function that was also a
reserved
keyword that was not known to me. My boo boo. Thanks for your response
and
advice.

Glenn, are you really missing the quotes or angle brackets around the following:
#include io430.h
Seems like this could certainly mess some things up. I believe that this
line should be either
#include "io430.h"
or
#include
depending on whether io430.h is a local header file or a compiler-provided
header file.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: [msp430] IAR error message
Hi Everyone,
I've just encountered a problem that I'm having a bit of trouble
trying to locate what may be wrong. Hope some good fellow out there can point me
the right way. Not seen this before.
I'm using IAR Ver 5.30
It seems that whenever I declare a prototype to a function with a paramater I
get an error message:
main.c
error [Pe018]: expected a ")"
This works OK
#include io430.h
#define statements
void myfunction ( void );
void main ( void )
{
program start
myfunction ();
rest of program
}
void myfunction ( void )
{
do something;
}
If I do the following instead, I get the above error. All I've done is
change the function to one that has a parameter.
#include io430.h
#define statements
int myfunction ( int xyz );
void main ( void )
{
int abc;
int def;
program start
def = myfunction ( abc );
rest of program
}
int myfunction ( int xyz )
{
do something;
return ( xyz );
}
I also get an error at the function line saying:
Error [Pe141]: Unnamed prototyped parameters not allowed when body is present
But I suspect that this is caused by the first error.
Sure would appreciate any ideas.
Regards,
Glenn

Hi,
I would like to help you track down the problem. However, the code
sketches that you provide are not enough for me to pinpoint the problem.
A rule of thumb, when reporting a problem, is to provide a file that
actually can be compiled (i.e. not a sketch with things like "program
start"). Also, the program should be as short as possible -- most
problems can be reduced to a handful of lines.
