PIC Microcontoller Program Flow Methods

for Flags or Booleans

Carlos Nieves shares this code:


 
Here are some routines to handle flags or boolean variables. Each byte in RAM can store 8 flags, and this routines lets you to set, clear, or look at any flag stored there, and also count how many variables are set, and clear or set all flags.
If you want to use it, you only have to define FLAGS_NUM, which is the number of flags you need. Each flag is located with an identifier. First byte contains flags 0 to 7, and so on...
For example, if you want to use a flag called FLAG1, you should declare something like:

#define FLAG1 0  ; this is the identifier of this flag.

And use FLAG1 when calling any of these routines.
