Compiler bug 4.5.5

Hi There,

Can anyone came across this problem ?

Here is my problem:

I want to locate my function pointer array to code memory area. Here is how my code looks like:

void (* const Fptr[GRIP_MENUS])(void) = {

CheckGHome,

CheckGBandp,

CheckGPNap,

CheckGripMax,

CheckGRHome,

CheckFingerC,

CheckSpread,

CheckWrap,

BandClicks,

NapkinClicks,

TopClicks,

NULL

};

As per my knowledge, when you have declared a variable .const it should go to 0xc000 to 0xffff segment. ( I am using COSMIC compiler 4.5.5 and my processor is ST72621)

Instead it generates this error ....

#error clnk Debug\diagnosis.lkf:1 bad address (0x1f5) for zero page symbol _Text

>>This was generated by V4.5.5

>> PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SAME CODE HAS DESIRED EFFECT WITH REV 4.2e of compiler. THE NEW REV has some problems identifying function pointers with .const qualifiers.

Any ideas ?

as I explained directly to you, the problem comes from the code, where the same variable is declared @near once and @tiny (implicitely) in another file. The old compiler was less strict for this kind of check.
