5.12 __insert_opcode Intrinsic Function

The IAR __insert_opcode intrinsic function inserts a DW unsigned directive.

Suggested Replacement

There is no MPLAB XC equivalent built-in function; however, instructions can be inserted explicitly using in-line assembly code.

Use in-line assembly to directly write a .word directive.

None

Consider migrating IAR code such as:

char x, y;
int z;
void foo(void) {
    z = __insert_opcode(0x80a8);
}

to MPLAB XC8 code similar to:

#include <xc.h>

char x, y;
int z;
void foo(void) {
    z = asm(".word 0x80a8");
}

See the In-line Assembly section in the MPLAB XC8 C Compiler User's Guide for AVR MCUs for more information on adding in-line assembly.
