I have been having problems with Lattice 3.10 on "large" programs. Last night
there was a note on the Lattice BBS saying that the compiler will generate
bad code if functions declare more than 3 register pointer variables. Aparently
there are only 3 address register variables available for assignment and
the compiler screws up if more are declared.
MicroEmacs 3.7 is *real* flakey compiled under 3.10 (worked fine under 3.03).
About 14 functions declared more than 3 address pointers. After fixing
the functions it's working fine.
Hope this helps someone else out also.....

Now you know that not only MANX can generated BAD code. Also there is no word about BLINK fixes for the overlays. The software distillery people seams to be deaf to inquiries about the BLINK status. Has anybody downloaded the latest BLINK from their BBS and tried it with overlays? -- Marco Papa Felsina Software
