AddressOf

Syntax​

* ... =  ADDRESSOF( sub/function  )                       * ' get the starting address of the sub/function

   or    ... = ADDRESSOF ( variable/string )

Description​

The address of a variable or function can be determined with the ADDRESSOF operator.   Earlier versions of the compiler did not use ( ) around the object, and that syntax is still allowed though not recommended.

The variable, string, sub or function must be declared prior to the use of ADDRESSOF operation.

Example​

xx = 0

interrupt sub  doit
  ' insert
code to clear the interrupt
   xx =    xx+1
end
sub

'...      other code including MAIN
go here

VICVectAddr3 =
ADDRESSOF ( doit ) +1    ' setup the 3rd interrupt to
execute doit (+1 for Thumb code)
