4.23 public_equ Pragma

The IAR public_equ pragma defines a public assembler symbol with the specified value.

Suggested Replacement

There is no equivalent MPLAB XC8 pragma, but a similar task can be performed by adding in-line assembly.

Use the MPLAB XC8 asm statement add the label and equate it to a value.

None

Consider migrating IAR code such as:

#pragma public_equ="mySymbol",0x1000

to MPLAB XC8 code similar to:

asm(".global sym\r\nmySymbol = 0x1000");

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.
