24.4 Operator

The @ operator may be used with other compilers to indicate the desired memory location of an object. As the following table indicates, support for this syntax in MPLAB C is limited to MPLAB XC8 only.

Any address specified with another device is unlikely to be correct on a new architecture. Review the address in conjunction with the data sheet for your target Microchip device.

Using @ in a compatibility mode with MPLAB XC8 will work correctly, but will generate a warning. To prevent this warning from appearing again, use the reviewed address with the MPLAB C __at() specifier instead.

For MPLAB XC16/32, consider using the address attribute.
