B.6 EXTENDED KEYWORDS
Non-standard extensions often specify how objects are defined or accessed. Keywords
are usually used to indicate the feature. The non-standard C keywords corresponding
to other compilers are listed in Table B-5, as well as the level of compatibility offered by
MPLAB XC compilers. The table notes offer more information about some extensions.
Note 1: All assembly code specified by this construct is device-specific and will need review
when porting to any Microchip device.
2: The keyword, asm, is supported natively by MPLAB XC8, but this compiler only sup-
ports the __asm keyword in IAR compatibility mode.
3: This is the default (and only) endianism used by all MPLAB XC compilers.
4: When used with MPLAB XC32, this must be used with the __longcall__ macro
for full compatibility.
5: Although this keyword is ignored, by default, all structures are packed when using
