4.4 Banksel Directive

The MPASM BANKSEL directive generates bank selection code appropriate for the label specified as the argument.

Suggested Replacement

No change is necessary; continue to use the BANKSEL assembler directive.

This directive is case-insensitive, can be used with any device, and works with numeric or symbolic operands. Note that it might generate more than one instruction, so it should not be used immediately following any test-and-skip instruction, like the btfsc instruction, for example.

  BANKSEL input
  movwf BANKMASK(input)

Note: The manual masking of addresses used as instruction operands (for example using the BANKMASK() or PAGEMASK() macros or ANDing the operand with a mask) is not necessary when using the -Wl,--fixupoverflow option and any of the ignore, warn, or lstwarn arguments.
