This could be due to a macro or formal parameter name that does not start with a letter or a missing closing parenthesis (')'). %#elif may not follow #else If a #else has been used after #if, you cannot then use a #elif in the same conditional block. %#elif must be in an #if #elif must be preceded by a matching #if line. If there is an apparently corresponding #if line, check for things like extra #endif's, or improperly terminated comments. %#else may not follow #else There can be only one #else corresponding to each #if. %#else must be in an #if #else can only be used after a matching #if. %#error: * This is a programmer generated error; there is a directive causing a deliberate error. This is normally used to check compile time defines etc. %#if ... sizeof() syntax error The preprocessor found a syntax error in the argument to sizeof, in a #if expression. Probable causes are mismatched parentheses and similar things. %#if ... sizeof: bug, unknown type code * The preprocessor has made an internal error in evaluating a sizeof() expression. Check for a malformed type specifier. %#if ... sizeof: illegal type combination The preprocessor found an illegal type combination in the argument to sizeof() in a #if expression. Illegal combinations include such things as "short long int". %#if bug, operand = * The preprocessor has tried to evaluate an expression with an operator it does not understand. This is an internal error. %#if sizeof() error, no type specified Sizeof() was used in a preprocessor #if expression, but no type was specified. The argument to sizeof() in a preprocessor expression must be a valid simple type, or pointer to a simple type. %#if sizeof, unknown type * An unknown type was used in a preprocessor sizeof(). The preprocessor can only evaluate sizeof() with basic types, or pointers to basic types. %#if value stack overflow The preprocessor filled up its expression evaluation stack in a #if expression. Simplify the expression - it probably contains too many parenthesized subexpressions. %#if, #ifdef, or #ifndef without an argument The preprocessor directives #if, #ifdef and #ifndef must have an argument. The argument to #if should be an expression, while the argument to #ifdef or #ifndef should be a single name. %#include syntax error The syntax of the filename argument to #include is invalid. The argument to #include must be a valid file name, either enclosed in double quotes ("") or angle brackets (<>). For example: #include "afile.h" #include <otherfile.h> Spaces should not be included, and the closing quote or bracket must be present. There should be nothing else on the line. %'.' expected after '..' The only context in which two successive dots may appear is as part of the ellipsis symbol, which must have 3 dots. %'.' not followed by 'w' or 'b' A dot (.) introduces an operand size specifier, so it must be followed by an appropriate specifier. .W is for words, .B for bytes. %'=' expected after lle The LLE option requires an equal sign, then the desired listing line length as a decimal number, e.g. opt lle=80 %'=' expected after p The P option specifies a page length, and must have an equal sign and a decimal number, e.g. opt p=66 %'case' not in switch A case statement has been encountered but there is no enclosing switch statement. A case statement may only appear inside the body of a switch statement. %'default' not in switch A label has been encountered called "default" but it is not enclosed by a switch statement. The label "default" is only legal inside the body of a switch statement. %( expected An opening parenthesis was expected here. This must be the first token after a while, for, if, do or asm keyword. %) expected A closing parenthesis was expected here. This may indicate you have left out a parenthesis in an expression, or you have some other syntax error. %, expected A comma was expected here. This probably means you have left out the comma between two identifiers in a declaration list. It may also mean that the immediately preceding type name is misspelled, and has thus been interpreted as an identifier. %-s, too few values specified in * The list of values to the preprocessor -S option is incomplete. This should not happen if the preprocessor is being invoked by the compiler driver or HPD. %-s, too many values, * unused There were too many values supplied to a -S preprocessor option. %... illegal in non-prototype arg list The ellipsis symbol may only appear as the last item in a prototyped argument list. It may not appear on its own, nor may it appear after argument names that do not have types. %32 bit addressing illegal 32 bit addressing (i.e. using 32 bit registers in an index expression) is illegal unless generating 386 or 486 code. Use a .386 or .486 directive at the beginning of the file. %6301 instruction illegal This instruction is for the 6301 and is illegal unless an appropriate option is used, e.g. opt h301 %6801 instruction illegal The 6801 instructions can only be used if an appropriate option is used, to allow 6801, 68HC11 or 6301 instructions. E.g. opt z01 %68hc11 instruction illegal 68HC11 instructions can only be used if the HC11 option is used, e.g. opt HC11 %68hc11/6301 instruction illegal This instruction is only implemented in the 68HC11 and 6301 processors. Use an HC11 or H301 option, e.g. opt HC11 %80186 instruction/addressing mode An instruction or addressing mode not supported by the 8088/8086 was encountered. Use a .186, .286. .386 or .486 directive to allow these. %80286 instruction An instruction peculiar to the 80286 encountered. Use a .286. .386 or .486 directive to allow these. %80386 instruction/addressing mode An instruction or addressing mode peculiar to the 80386 encountered. Use a .386 or .486 directive to allow these. %80486 instruction/addressing mode An instruction or addressing mode peculiar to the 80486 encountered. Use a .486 directive to allow these. %: expected A colon is missing in a case label, or after the keyword "default". This often occurs when a semicolon is accidentally typed instead of a colon. %; expected A semicolon is missing here. The semicolon is used as a terminator in many kinds of statements, e.g. do .. while, return etc. %= expected An equal sign was expected here. %] expected A closing square bracket was expected in an array declaration or an expression using an array index. %a parameter may not be a function A function parameter may not be a function. It may be a pointer to a function, so perhaps a "*" has been omitted from the declaration. %absolute expression required An absolute expression is required in this context. %add_reloc - bad size This is an internal error that should never happen. The assembler may be corrupted, and should be re-installed from the original distribution disks. %argument * conflicts with prototype The argument specified (argument 1 is the left most argument) of this function declaration does not agree with a previous prototype for this function. %argument list conflicts with prototype The argument list in a function definition is not the same as a previous prototype for that function. Check that the number and types of the arguments are all the same. %argument redeclared: * The specified argument is declared more than once in the same argument list. %arguments redeclared The arguments of the function have been declared differently in two or more places. %arithmetic overflow in constant expression A constant expression has been evaluated by the code generator that has resulted in a value that is too big for the type of the expression, e.g. trying to store the value 256 in a "char". %array dimension on *[] ignored An array dimension on a function parameter is ignored, because the argument is actually converted to a pointer when passed. Thus arrays of any size may be passed. %array index out of bounds An array is being indexed with a constant value that is less than zero, or greater than or equal to the number of elements in the array. %assertion An internal error has occured in the compiler. Contact HI-TECH technical support. %attempt to modify const object Objects declared "const" may not be assigned to or modified in any other way.. %auto variable * should not be qualified An auto variable should not have qualifiers such as "near" or "far" associated with it. Its storage class is implicitly defined by the stack organization. %bad #if ... defined() syntax The defined() pseudo-function in a preprocessor expression requires its argument to be a single name. The name must start with a letter. It should be enclosed in parentheses. %bad '-p' format The "-P" option given to the linker is malformed. %bad -a spec: * The format of a -A specification, giving address ranges to the linker, is invalid. The correct format is: -Aclass=low-high where class is the name of a psect class, and low and high are hex numbers. %bad -m option: -m* The code generator has been passed a -M option that it does not understand. This should not happen if it is being invoked by a standard compiler driver. %bad -q option * The first pass of the compiler has been invoked with a -Q option, to specify a type qualifier name, that is badly formed. %bad arg (*) to tysize This is an internal error that should not happen. If this occurs, re-install the compiler from the original distribution disks, as it could represent a corrupted executable file. %bad arg to *l The *L directive should be followed by either ON or OFF. This turns listing on or off respectively. %bad arg to -b The argument supplied to "-B" is invalid. %bad arg to e: * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad arg to extraspecial This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad arg to im The opcode "IM" only takes the constants 0, 1 or 2 as an argument. %bad bconfloat - * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad bit address This bit address is invalid. Bit addresses for the 8051 may range from 0 to 255. %bad bit number A bit number must be an absolute expression in the range 0-7. %bad bitfield type A bitfield may only have a type of int. %bad character const This character constant is badly formed. %bad character in extended tekhex line * This is an internal error in objtohex and should never occur. %bad checksum specification A checksum list supplied to the linker is syntatically incorrect. %bad combination of flags The combination of options supplied to objtohex is invalid. %bad complex relocation The linker has been asked to perform complex relocation that is not syntactically correct. Probably means a corrupted object file. %bad confloat - * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad conval - * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad dimensions The code generator has been passed a declaration that results in an array having a zero dimension. %bad dp/nargs in openpar: dp = * This is an internal error in the preprocessor. It should not happen. %bad element count expr There is an error in the intermediate code. Try re-installing the compiler from the distribution disks, as this could be caused by a corrupted file. %bad float operand size The operand size for a DF pseudo-op must be either .L for long (4 byte) floating point values, or .D for double (8 byte) floats. %bad gn This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad high address in -a spec The high address given in a -A specification is invalid: it should be a valid number, in decimal, octal or hexadecimal radix. The radix is specified by a trailing O (for octal) or H for hex. Decimal is default. %bad int. code The code generator has been passed input that is not syntatically correct. %bad load address in -a spec The load address given in a -A specification is invalid: it should be a valid number, in decimal, octal or hexadecimal radix. The radix is specified by a trailing O (for octal) or H for hex. Decimal is default. %bad low address in -a spec The low address given in a -A specification is invalid: it should be a valid number, in decimal, octal or hexadecimal radix. The radix is specified by a trailing O (for octal) or H for hex. Decimal is default. %bad mod '+' for how = * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad non-zero node in call graph The linker has encountered a top level node in the call graph that is referenced from lower down in the call graph. This probably means the program has indirect recursion, which is not allowed when using a compiled stack. %bad object code format The object code format of this object file is invalid. This probably means it is either truncated, corrupted, or not a HI-TECH object file. %bad op * to revlog This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad op * to swaplog This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad op: * This is caused by an error in the intermediate code file. You may have run out of disk (or RAMdisk) space for temporary files. %bad operand size This instruction requires an operand size of byte. Any other size is illegal. %bad origin format in spec The origin format in a -p option is not a validly formed decimal, octal or hex number. A hex number must have a trailing H. %bad popreg This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad pragma * The code generator has been passed a "pragma" directive that it does not understand. %bad psnext list This is an internal assembler error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error.is %bad pushreg This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad putwsize This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad record type * This indicates that the object file is not a valid HI-TECH object file. %bad relocation type This is an internal assembler error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error.is %bad ret_mask This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad segment fixups This is an obscure message from objtohex that is not likely to occur in practice. %bad segspec * The segspec option (-G) to the linker is invalid. The correct form of a segspec option is along the following lines: -Gnxc+o where n stands for the segment number, x is a multiplier symbol, c is a constant (multiplier) and o is a constant offset. For example the option -Gnx4+16 would assign segment selectors starting from 16, and incrementing by 4 for each segment, i.e. in the order 16, 20, 24 etc. %bad size in -s option The size part of a -S option is not a validly formed number. The number must be a decimal, octal or hex number. A hex number needs a trailing H, and an octal number a trailing O. All others are assumed to be decimal. %bad size list The first pass of the compiler has been invoked with a -Z option, specifying sizes of types, that is badly formed. %bad storage class The storage class "auto" may only be used inside a function. A function parameter may not have any storage class specifier other than "register". If this error is issued by the code generator, it could mean that the intermediate code file is invalid. This could be caused by running out of disk (or RAMdisk) space. %bad string '*' in psect pragma The code generator has been passed a "pragma psect" directive that has a badly formed string. "Pragma psect" should be followed by something of the form "oldname=newname". %bad sx This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad u usage This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %bad variable syntax There is an error in the intermediate code file. This could be caused by running out of disk (or RAMdisk) space for temporary files. %bit field too large (* bits) The maximum number of bits in a bit field is the same as the number of bits in an "int". %bug: illegal __ macro * This is an internal error in the preprocessor that should not happen. %can't allocate space for port variables: * "Port" variables may only be declared "extern" or have an absolute address associated via the "@ address" construct. They may not be declared in such a way that would require the compiler to allocate space for them. %can't be both far and near It is illegal to qualify a type as both far and near. %can't be long Only "int" and "float" can be qualified with "long". Thus combinations like "long char" are illegal. %can't be register Only function parameters or auto (local) variables may be declared "register". %can't be short Only "int" can be modified with short. Thus combinations like "short float" are illegal. %can't be unsigned There is no such thing as an unsigned floating point number. %can't call an interrupt function A function qualified "interrupt" can't be called from other functions. It can only be called by a hardware (or software) interrupt. This is because an interrupt function has special function entry and exit code that is appropriate only for calling from an interrupt. An "interrupt" function can call other non-interrupt functions. %can't create * The named file could not be created. Check that all directories in the path are present. %can't create cross reference file * The cross reference file could not be created. Check that all directories are present. This can also be caused by the assembler running out of memory. %can't create temp file * The compiler could not create the temporary file named. Check that all the directories in the file path exist. %can't create xref file * An output file for the cross reference could not be created. %can't enter abs psect This is an internal assembler error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %can't find space for psect * in segment * The named psect cannot be placed in the specified segment. This probably means your code has got too big for the specified ROM space (using -A options). %can't generate code for this expression This expression is too difficult for the code generator to handle. Try simplifying the expression, e.g. using a temporary variable to hold an intermediate result. %can't have 'port' variable: * The qualifier "port" can be used only with pointers or absolute variables. You cannot define a port variable as the compiler does not allocate space for port variables. You can declare an external port variable. %can't have array of functions You can't have an array of functions. You can however have an array of pointers to functions. The correct syntax for an array of pointers to functions is "int (* arrayname[])();". Note that parentheses are used to associate the star (*) with the array name before the parentheses denoting a function. %can't initialise auto aggregates You can't initialise structures or arrays local to a function unless they are declared "static". %can't initialize a basepage variable A basepage variable can't be initialized, as the basepage is RAM and is not initialized at program start. %can't initialize arg A function argument can't have an initialiser. The initialisation of the argument happens when the function is called and a value is provided for the argument by the calling function. %can't mix proto and non-proto args A function declaration can only have all prototyped arguments (i.e. with types inside the parentheses) or all K&R style args (i.e. only names inside the parentheses and the argument types in a declaration list before the start of the function body). %can't open A file can't be opened - check spelling. %can't open * The named file could not be opened. Check the spelling and the directory path. This can also be caused by running out of memory. %can't open command file * The command file specified could not be opened for reading. Check spelling! %can't open file * The named file could not be opened. Check spelling. This can also be caused by running out of memory. %can't open include file * The named include file could not be opened. Check spelling. This can also be caused by running out of memory, or running out of file handles. %can't reopen * The compiler could not reopen a temporary file it had just created. %can't take address of register variable A variable declared "register" may not have storage allocated for it in memory, and thus it is illegal to attempt to take the address of it by applying the "&" operator. %can't take sizeof func Functions don't have sizes, so you can't take use the "sizeof" operator on a function. %can't take this address The expression which was the object of the "&" operator is not one that denotes memory storage ("an lvalue") and therefore its address can not be defined. %can't use a string in an #if The preprocessor does not allow the use of strings in #if expressions. %cannot get memory The linker is out of memory! This is unlikely to happen, but removing TSR's etc is the cure. %cannot open A file cannot be opened - check spelling. %cannot open * The file specified cannot be opened. Check spelling. %cannot open include file * The named include file could not be opened for reading by the preprocessor. Check the spelling of the filename. If it is a standard header file, not in the current directory, then the name should be enclosed in angle brackets (<>) not quotes. %cast type must be scalar or void A typecast (an abstract type declarator enclosed in parentheses) must denote a type which is either scalar (i.e. not an array or a structure) or the type "void". %char const too long A character constant enclosed in single quotes may not contain more than one character. %close error (disk space?) When the compiler closed a temporary file, an error was reported. The most likely cause of this is that there was insufficient space on disk for the file. Note that temporary files may be created on a RAM disk, so even if your hard disk has ample space it is still possible to get this error. %closing quote expected A newline (end of line) was encountered before a matching closing quote was seen. This could be caused by the closing quote having been omitted, or by an extra quote character being inserted in the string without an escape character (\\) preceding it. %common symbol psect conflict: * A common symbol has been defined to be in more than one psect. %complex relocation not supported for -r or -l options yet The linker was given a -R or -L option with file that contain complex relocation. This is not yet supported. %conflicting operand sizes This instruction has more than one operand size specified. They are incompatible. %constant conditional branch A conditional branch (generated by an "if" statement etc.) always follows the same path. This may indicate an expression with missing or badly placed parentheses, causing the evaluation to yield a value different to what you expected, or it may be because you have written something like "while(1)". To produce an infinite loop, use "for(;;)". %constant conditional branch: possible use of = instead of == There is an expression inside an if or other conditional construct, where a constant is being assigned to a variable. This may mean you have inadvertentley used an assignment (=) instead of a compare (==). %constant expression required In this context an expression is required that can be evaluated to a constant at compile time. %constant left operand to ? The left operand to a conditional operator (?) is constant, thus the result of the tertiary operator ?: will always be the same. %constant operand to || or && One operand to the logical operators || or && is a constant. Check the expression for missing or badly placed parentheses. %constant relational expression There is a relational expression that will always be true or false. This may be because e.g. you are comparing an unsigned number with a negative value, or comparing a variable with a value greater than the largest number it can represent. %control line * within macro expansion A preprocessor control line (one starting with a #) has been encountered while expanding a macro. This should not happen. %declaration of * hides outer declaration An object has been declared that has the same name as an outer declaration (i.e. one outside and preceding the current function or block). This is legal, but can lead to accidental use of one variable when the outer one was intended. %declarator too complex This declarator is too complex for the compiler to handle. Examine the declaration and find a way to simplify it. If the compiler finds it too complex, so will anybody maintaining the code. %default case redefined There is only allowed to be one "default" label in a switch statement. You have more than one. %deff not supported in cp/m version The CP/M hosted assembler does not support floating point. %degenerate signed comparison There is a comparision of a signed value with the most negative value possible for this type, such that the comparision will always be true or false. E.g. char c; if(c >= -128) will always be true, because an 8 bit signed char has a maximum negative value of -128. %degenerate unsigned comparison There is a comparision of an unsigned value with zero, which will always be true or false. E.g. unsigned char c; if(c >= 0) will always be true, because an unsigned value can never be less than zero. %digit out of range A digit in this number is out of range of the radix for the number, e.g. using the digit 8 in an octal number, or hex digits A-F in a decimal number. An octal number is denoted by the digit string commencing with a zero, while a hex number starts with "0X" or "0x". %dimension required Only the most significant (i.e. the first) dimension in a multi-dimension array may not be assigned a value. All succeeding dimensions must be present. %direct addressing required Direct or indexed addressing is required for bit operations. Extended addressing cannot be used. %directive not recognized An assembler directive is unrecognized. Check spelling. %divide by zero in #if, zero result assumed Inside a #if expression, there is a division by zero which has been treated as yielding zero. %division by zero A constant expression that was being evaluated involved a division by zero. %double float argument required The printf format specifier corresponding to this argument is %f or similar, and requires a floating point expression. Check for missing or extra format specifiers or arguments to printf. %duplicate -d flag Only one -d flag can be given to the linker. %duplicate -m flag The linker only likes to see one -m flag, unless one of them does not specify a file name. Two map file names are more than it can handle! %duplicate base register Only one base register, i.e. only one of BP and BX may be used in a 16 bit indexed addressing form. %duplicate case label There are two case labels with the same value in this switch statement. %duplicate case label * There is more than one case label with this value in a switch statement. %duplicate displacement in operand The operand on this instruction has two offsets. Only one is permitted. %duplicate fnconf directive This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %duplicate index register Only one index register (SI or DI) may be used in a 16 bit indexed form. %duplicate label * The same name is used for a label more than once in this function. Note that the scope of labels is the entire function, not just the block that encloses a label. %duplicate qualifier There are two occurences of the same qualifier in this type specification. This can occur either directly or through the use of a typedef. Remove the redundant qualifier. %duplicate qualifier key * (*) P1 has been given a duplicate qualifer key by the compiler driver. This should not occur if the standard driver is being used. %duplicate qualifier name * A duplicate qualifier name has been specified to P1 via a -Q option. This should not occur if the standard compiler drivers are used. %duplicate qualifier* There are two qualifiers with the same name or key letter. %end of file within macro argument A macro argument has not been terminated. This probably means the closing parenthesis has been omitted from a macro invocation. %end statement inside include file or macro An end statement has been encountered inside an include file or macro. There should be one end statement only, at the end of the main source file. %entry point multiply defined There is more than one entry point defined in the object files given the linker. %enum tag or { expected After the keyword "enum" must come either an identifier that is or will be defined as an enum tag, or an opening brace. %eof in #asm An end of file has been encountered inside a #asm block. This probably means the #endasm is missing or misspelt. %eof inside conditional END-of-FILE was encountered while scanning for an "endif" to match a previous "if". %eof inside macro def'n End-of-file was encountered while processing a macro definition. This means there is a missing "endm" directive. %eof on string file P1 has encountered an unexpected end-of-file while re-reading its file used to store constant strings before sorting and merging. This is most probably due to running out of disk space. Check free disk space, OR RAM disk size. The RAM disk may be too small, if it is used for temporary files. %error closing output file The compiler detected an error when closing a file. This most probably means there is insufficient disk space, but note that the file could be on a RAM disk, so even if you have ample space on your hard disk, this error can still occur. If this is the case, increase the size of your ram disk or move your temporary file area onto the hard disk. %error in format string There is an error in the format string here. The string has been interpreted as a printf() style format string, and it is not syntactically correct. If not corrected, this will cause unexpected behaviour at run time. %esp not permitted as index register ESP is not permitted as an index register. %expand - bad how This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %expand - bad which This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %expected '-' in -a spec There should be a minus sign (-) between the high and low addresses in a -A spec, e.g. -AROM=1000h-1FFFh %exponent expected A floating point constant must have at least one digit after the "e" or "E". %expression error There is a syntax error in this expression, OR there is an error in the intermediate code file. This could be caused by running of disk (or RAMdisk) space. %expression generates no code This expression generates no code. Check for things like leaving off the parentheses in a function call. %expression stack overflow at op * Expressions in #if lines are evaluated using a stack with a size of 128. It is possible for very complex expressions to overflow this. Simplify the expression. %expression syntax This expression is badly formed and cannot be parsed by the compiler. %expression too complex This expression has caused overflow of the compiler's internal stack and should be re-arranged or split into two expressions. %external declaration inside function A function contains an "extern" declaration. This is legal but is invariably A Bad Thing as it restricts the scope of the function declaration to the function body. This means that if the compiler encounters another declaration, use or definition of the extern object later in the same file, it will no longer have the earlier declaration and thus will be unable to check that the declarations are consistent. This can lead to strange behaviour of your program or signature errors at link time. It will also hide any previous declarations of the same thing, again subverting the compiler's type checking. As a general rule, always declare "extern" variables and functions outside any other functions. %fail directive: * A programmer generated FAIL directive has been assembled. This normally is used as a configuration safeguard. %filename work buffer overflow A filename constructed while looking for an include file has exceeded the length of an internal buffer. Since this buffer is 4096 bytes long, this is unlikely to happen. %fixup overflow referencing * The linker was asked to relocate (fixup) an item that would not fit back into the space after relocation. For example this will occur if a byte size object is initialized with an address that is bigger than 255. %flag * unknown This option used on a "PSECT" directive is unknown to the assembler. %float param coerced to double Where a non-prototyped function has a parameter declared as "float", the compiler convert this into a "double float". This is because the default C type conversion conventions provide that when a floating point number is passed to a non-prototyped function, it will be converted to double. It is important that the function declaration be consistent with this convention. %floating exponent too large The exponent of the floating point number is too large. For the Z80 the largest floating point exponent is decimal 19. %floating number expected The arguments to the "DEFF" pseudo-op must be valid floating point numbers. %form length must be >= 15 The length of the listing page must be at least 15 lines. You can't get a decent listing otherwise! %formal parameter expected after # The stringization operator # (not to be confused with the leading # used for preprocessor control lines) must be followed by a formal macro parameter. If you need to stringize a token, you will need to define a special macro to do it, e.g. #define __mkstr__(x) #x then use __mkstr__(token) wherever you need to convert a token into a string. %function body expected Where a function declaration is encountered with K&R style arguments (i.e. argument names but no types inside the parentheses) a function body is expected to follow. %function declared implicit int Where the compiler encounters a function call of a function whose name is presently undefined, the compiler will automatically declare the function to be of type "int", with unspecified (K&R style) parameters. If a definition of the function is subsequently encountered, it is possible that its type and arguments will be different from the earlier implicit declaration, causing a compiler error. The solution is to ensure that all functions are defined or at least declared before use, preferably with prototyped parameters. If it is necessary to make a forward declaration of a function, it should be preceded with the keywords "extern" or "static" as appropriate. %function does not take arguments This function has no parameters, but it is called here with one or more arguments. %function is already 'extern'; can't be 'static' This function was already declared extern, possibly through an implicit declaration. It has now been redeclared static, but this redeclaration is invalid. If the problem has arisen because of use before definition, either move the definition earlier in the file, or place a static forward definition earlier in the file, e.g. static int fred(void); %function or function pointer required Only a function or function pointer can be the subject of a function call. This error can be produced when an expression has a syntax error resulting in a variable or expression being followed by an opening parenthesis ("(") which denotes a function call. %function's local data too large The size of the stack frame for this function is greater than that allowable. The size is limited by the size of the internal RAM on the 8051. %functions can't return arrays A function can return only a scalar (simple) type or a structure. It cannot return an array. %functions can't return functions A function cannot return a function. It can return a function pointer. A function returning a pointer to a function could be declared like this: int (* (name()))(). Note the many parentheses that are necessary to make the parts of the declaration bind correctly. %functions nested too deep This error is unlikely to happen with C code, since C cannot have nested functions! %garbage after operands There is something on this line after the operands other than a comment. This could indicate an operand error. %garbage on end of line There were non-blank and non-comment characters after the end of the operands for this instruction. Note that a comment must be started with a semicolon. %hc11 and h301 are incompatible The options HC11 and H301 cannot be used together, since these two processors have incompatible instruction sets. %hex digit expected After "0x" should follow at least one of the hex digits 0-9 and A-F or a-f. %ident records do not match The object files passed to the linker do not have matching ident records. This means they are for different processor types. %identifier expected Inside the braces of an "enum" declaration should be a comma-separated list of identifiers. %identifier redefined: * This identifier has already been defined. It cannot be defined again. %illegal # command * The preprocessor has encountered a line starting with #, but which is not followed by a recognized control keyword. This probably means the keyword has been misspelt. Legal control keywords are: assert asm define elif else endasm endif error if ifdef ifndef include line pragma undef %illegal #if line There is a syntax error in the expression following #if. Check the expression to ensure it is properly constructed. %illegal #undef argument The argument to #undef must be a valid name. It must start with a letter. %illegal '#' directive The compiler does not understand the "#" directive. It is probably a misspelling of a pre-processor "#" directive. %illegal -o flag This -o flag is illegal. A -o option to the linker must have a filename. There should be no space between the filenam and the -o, e.g. -ofile.obj %illegal -p flag The -p flag needs stuff after it. This is used for defining psect mapping to the linker. %illegal addressing mode This addressing mode is not permitted. %illegal character (*) An illegal character has been encountered in the input. The value in parentheses is the octal value of the character. Locate the line and remove the character. %illegal character (0*) There is an illegal character in the input. This is the octal code for the character. %illegal character * in #if There is a character in a #if expression that has no business being there. Valid characters are the letters, digits and those comprising the acceptable operators. %illegal conversion This expression implies a conversion between imcompatible types, e.g. a conversion of a structure type into an integer. %illegal conversion between pointer types A pointer of one type (i.e. pointing to a particular kind of object) has been converted into a pointer of a different type. This will usually mean you have used the wrong variable, but if this is genuinely what you want to do, use a typecast to inform the compiler that you want the conversion and the warning will be suppressed. %illegal conversion of integer to pointer An integer has been assigned to or otherwise converted to a pointer type. This will usually mean you have used the wrong variable, but if this is genuinely what you want to do, use a typecast to inform the compiler that you want the conversion and the warning will be suppressed. %illegal conversion of pointer to integer A pointer has been assigned to or otherwise converted to a integral type. This will usually mean you have used the wrong variable, but if this is genuinely what you want to do, use a typecast to inform the compiler that you want the conversion and the warning will be suppressed. %illegal flag * This flag is unrecognized. %illegal function qualifier(s) A qualifier such as "const" or "volatile" has been applied to a function. These qualifiers only make sense when used with an lvalue (i.e. an expression denoting memory storage). Perhaps you left out a star ("*") indicating that the function should return a pointer to a qualified object. %illegal initialisation You can't initialise a "typedef" declaration, because it does not reserve any storage that could be initialised. %illegal or too many -p flags There are too many -p options to the linker. Combine some of them. %illegal record type There is an error in an object file. This is either an invalid object file, or an internal error in the linker. Try recreating the object file. %illegal register for indirection An operand has indirection on a register that is not permitted to be used for indirection. %illegal relocation size: * There is an error in the object code format read by the linker. This either means you are using a linker that is out of date, or that there is an internale error in the assembler or linker. %illegal relocation type: * An object file contained a relocation record with an illegal relocation type. This probably means the file is corrupted or not an object file. %illegal stack index The index used in a cop-processor instruction must be an absolute value 0-7. %illegal switch * This command line option was not understood. %illegal type for array dimension An array dimension must be either an integral type or an enumerated value. %illegal type for index expression An index expression must be either integral or an enumerated value. %illegal type for switch expression A "switch" operation must have an expression that is either an integral type or an enumerated value. %illegal use of void expression A void expression has no value and therefore you can't use it anywhere an expression with a value is required, e.g. as an operand to an arithmetic operator. %image too big The program image being constructed by objtohex is too big for its virtual memory system. %implicit conversion of float to integer A floating point value has been assigned or otherwise converted to an integral type. This could result in truncation of the floating point value. A typecast will make this warning go away. %implicit return at end of non-void function A function which has been declared to return a value has an execution path that will allow it to reach the end of the function body, thus returning without a value. Either insert a return statement with a value, or if the function is not to return a value, declare it "void". %implict signed to unsigned conversion A signed number is being assigned or otherwise converted to a larger unsigned type. Under the ANSI "value preserving" rules, this will result in the signed value being first sign-extended to a signed number the size of the target type, then converted to unsigned (which involves no change in bit pattern). Thus an unexpected sign extension can occur. To ensure this does not happen, first convert the signed value to an unsigned equivalent, e.g. if you want to assign a signed char to an unsigned int, first typecast the char value to "unsigned char". %inappropriate 'else' An "else" keyword has been encountered that cannot be associated with an "if" statement. This may mean there is a missing brace or other syntactic error. %inappropriate break/continue A "break" or "continue" statement has been found that is not enclosed in an appropriate control structure. "continue" can only be used inside a "while", "for" or "do while" loop, while "break" can only be used inside those loops or a "switch" statement. %include files nested too deep Macro expansions and include file handling have filled up the assembler's internal stack. The maximum number of open macros and include files is 30. %incompatible intermediate code version; should be *.* This error may indicate that the code generator is imcompatible with the first pass (P1). This could occur if you installed an old compiler in the same directory as a newer compiler for a different processor. Use separate installation directories. %incomplete * record body: length = * An object file contained a record with an illegal size. This probably means the file is truncated or not an object file. %incomplete record The object file passed to objtohex is corrupted. %incomplete record: type = * length = * This indicates that the object file is not a valid HI-TECH object file, or that it has been truncated, possibly due to running out of disk or RAMdisk space. %inconsistent storage class A declaration has conflicting storage classes. Only one storage class should appear in a declaration. %inconsistent type Only one basic type may appear in a declaration, thus combinations like "int float" are illegal. %index offset too large An offset on a Z80 indexed addressing form must lie in the range -128 to 127. %indirection on illegal register Indirection on this register is not possible. %initialisation syntax The initialisation of this object is syntactically incorrect. Check for the correct placement and number of braces and commas. %initializer in 'extern' declaration A declaration containing the keyword "extern" has an initialiser. This overrides the "extern" storage class, since to initialise an object it is necessary to define (i.e. allocate storage for ) it. %insufficient memory for macro def'n There is not sufficient memory to store a macro definition. %integer constant expected A colon appearing after a member name in a structure declaration indicates that the member is a bitfield. An integral constant must appear after the colon to define the number of bits in the bitfield. %integer expression required In an "enum" declaration, values may be assigned to the members, but the expression must evaluate to a constant of type "int". %integral argument required An integral argument is required for this format specifier. Check the number and order of format specifiers and corresponding arguments. %integral type required This operator requires operands that are of integral type only. %invalid disable: * This is an internal preprocessor error that should not occur. %invalid number syntax The syntax of a number is invalid. This can be, e.g. use of 8 or 9 in an octal number, or other malformed numbers. %invalid operand size The operand size specified for this instruction is invalid. Check the programmers reference manual for this chip. %invalid short addressing Short addressing (e.g. 8 bit PC relative) has been used where this is not possible. %invalid short addressing override A short addressing override has been used in conjunction with an addressing mode that makes this invalid. %jump out of range A short jump ("JR") instruction has been given an address that is more than 128 bytes away from the present location. Use the "JP" opcode instead. %jump target out of range The address that this jump refers to is too far away to be reached by this jump. Use a longer jump form, or a short branch around a direct jump. %label identifier expected An identifier denoting a label must appear after "goto". %large stack offset for * The named variable has been allocated on the stack at an offset greater than 128. This will still work correctly, but will result in larger, slower code. It is recommended that any auto (local to a function) variables be declared before any arrays. Having an array at a large offset does not cause any problems. %lexical error An unrecognized character or token has been seen in the input. %line does not have a newline on the end The last line in the file is missing the newline (linefeed, hex 0A) from the end. Some editors will create such files, which can cause problems for include files. The ANSI C standard requires all source files to consist of complete lines only. %line too long This line is too long. It will not fit into the compiler's internal buffers. It would require a line over 1000 characters long to do this, so it would normally only occur as a result of macro expansion. %local illegal outside macros The "LOCAL" directive is only legal inside macros. It defines local labels that will be unique for each invocation of the macro. %local psect '*' conflicts with global psect of same name A local psect may not have the same name as a global psect. %logical type required The expression used as an operand to "if", "while" statements or to boolean operators like ! and && must be a scalar integral type. %long argument required A long argument is required for this format specifier. Check the number and order of format specifiers and corresponding arguments. %macro * wasn't defined A macro name specified in a -U option to the preprocessor was not initially defined, and thus cannot be undefined. %macro argument after % must be absolute If the charactyer "%" is used to force evaluation of macro argument, the argument must be an expression that evaluates to an absolute constant. %macro argument may not appear after local The list of labels after the directive "LOCAL" may not include any of the formal parameters to the macro. %macro expansions nested too deep Macro expansions in the assembler are nested too deep. The limit is 30 macros and include files nested at one time. %macro name used as symbol A macro name has been used as a symbol. This is not permitted as the macro name does not have a simple value. %macro work area overflow The total length of a macro expansion has exceeded the size of an internal table. This table is normally 8192 bytes long. Thus any macro expansion must not expand into a total of more than 8K bytes. %member * redefined This name of this member of the struct or union has already been used in this struct or union. %members cannot be functions A member of a structure or a union may not be a function. It may be a pointer to a function. The correct syntax for a function pointer requires the use of parentheses to bind the star ("*") to the pointer name, e.g. "int (*name)();". %mismatched comparision A comparison is being made between a variable or expression and a constant value which is not in the range of possible values for that expression, e.g. if you compare an unsigned character to the constant value 300, the result will always be false (not equal) since an unsigned character can NEVER equal 300. As an 8 bit value it can represent only 0-255. %misplaced '?' or ':', previous operator is * A colon operator has been encountered in a #if expression that does not match up with a corresponding ? operator. Check parentheses etc. %misplaced constant in #if A constant in a #if expression should only occur in syntactically correct places. This error is most probably caused by omission of an operator. %missing ')' A closing parenthesis was missing from this expression. %missing '=' in class spec A class spec needs an = sign, e.g. -Ctext=ROM %missing ']' A closing square bracket was missing from this expression. %missing arg to -u The -U (undefine) option needs an argument, e.g. -U_symbol %missing arg to -w The -W option (listing width) needs a numeric argument. %missing argument to 'pragma psect' The pragma 'psect' requires an argument of the form oldname=newname where oldname is an existing psect name known to the compiler, and newname is the desired new name. Example: #pragma psect bss=battery %missing basic type: int assumed This declaration does not include a basic type, so int has been assumed. This declaration is not illegal, but it is preferable to include a basic type to make it clear what is intended. %missing name after pragma 'printf_check' The pragma 'printf_check', which enable printf style format string checking for a function, requires a function name, e.g. #pragma printf_check sprintf %missing number after % in -p option The % operator in a -p option (for rounding boundaries) must have a number after it. %missing number after pragma 'pack' The pragma 'pack' requires a decimal number as argument. For example #pragma pack(1) will prevent the compiler aligning structure members onto anything other than one byte boundaries. Use this with caution as some processors enforce alignment and will not operate correctly if word fetches are made on odd boundaries (e.g. 68000, 8096). %missing operand size The operand size for this instruction is missing. It must be supplied. %missing size for align The size of alignment required has not been specified. Use ALIGN.W for word alignment. %missing size for dc A DC directive requires a size specifier, e.g. DC.B for byte. %mixed 16 and 32 bit index registers An indexed addressing mode must use only 16 bit or only 32 bit registers. They may not be used together. %mod by zero in #if, zero result assumed A modulus operation in a #if expression has a zero divisor. The result has been assumed to be zero. %module has code below file base of * This module has code below the address given, but the -C option has been used to specify that a binary output file is to be created that is mapped to this address. This would mean code from this module would have to be placed before the beginning of the file! Check for missing psect directives in assembler files. %multi-byte constant * isn't portable Multi-byte constants are not portable, and in fact will be rejected by later passes of the compiler (this error comes from the preprocessor). %multiply defined symbol * This symbol has been defined in more than one place in this module. %multiply defined symbol: * This symbol has been defined in more than one module. %negative index offset The index offset used here is negative. Index offsets must be positive. %nested comments This warning is issued when nested comments are found. A nested comment may indicate that a previous closing comment marker is missing or malformed. %no #asm before #endasm A #endasm operator has been encountered, but there was no previous matching #asm. %no arg to -o The assembler requires that an output file name argument be supplied after the "-O" option. No space should be left between the -O and the filename. %no case labels There are no case labels in this switch! %no case labels There are no case labels in this switch statement. %no end record This object file has no end record. This probably means it is not an object file. %no end record found An object file did not contain an end record. This probably means the file is corrupted or not an object file. %no file argument There was no file argument to the assembler. %no file arguments The assembler has been invoked without any file arguments. It cannot assemble anything. %no identifier in declaration The identifier is missing in this declaration. This error can also occur where the compiler has been confused by such things as missing closing braces. %no memory for string buffer P1 was unable to allocate memory for the longest string encountered, as it attempts to sort and merge strings. Try reducing the number or length of strings in this module. %no space for macro def'n The assembler has run out of memory. %no start record: entry point defaults to zero None of the object files passed to the linker contained a start record. The start address of the program has been set to zero. This may be harmless, but it is recommended that you define a start address in your startup module by using the "END" directive. %no. of arguments redeclared The number of arguments in this function declaration does not agree with a previous declaration of the same function. %nodecount = * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %non-constant case label A case label in this switch statement has a value which is not a constant. %non-prototyped function declaration: * A function has been declared using old-style (K&R) arguments. It is preferable to use prototype declarations for all functions. If the function has no arguments, declare it as e.g. "int func(void)". %non-scalar types can't be converted You can't convert a structure, union or array to anything else. You can convert a pointer to one of those things, so perhaps you left out an ampersand ("&"). %non-void function returns no value A function that is declared as returning a value has a "return" statement that does not specify a return value. %not a member of the struct/union * This identifier is not a member of the structure or union type with which it used here. %not a variable identifier: * This identifier is not a variable; it may be some other kind of object, e.g. a label. %not an argument: * This identifier that has appeared in a K&R stype argument declarator is not listed inside the parentheses after the function name. Check spelling. %object file is not absolute The object file passed to objtohex has relocation items in it. This may indicate it is the wrong object file, or that the linker or objtohex have been given invalid options. %one segment override only permitted Only one segment override is permitted in an instruction. %only functions may be qualified interrupt The qualifier "interrupt" may not be applied to anything except a function. %only functions may be void A variable may not be "void". Only a function can be "void". %only lvalues may be assigned to or modified Only an lvalue (i.e. an identifier or expression directly denoting addressable storage) can be assigned to or otherwise modified. A typecast does not yield an lvalue. To store a value of different type into a variable, take the address of the variable, convert it to a pointer to the desired type, then dereference that pointer, e.g. "*(int *)&x = 1" is legal whereas "(int)x = 1" is not. %only register storage class allowed The only storage class allowed for a function parameter is "register". %oops! -ve number of nops required! An internal error has occured. Contact HI-TECH. %operand error The operand to this opcode is invalid. Check you assembler reference manual for the proper form of operands for this instruction. %operand size undefined The size of an operand is neither explicitly defined, nor can the assembler determine it from register usage. Add an explicit ,word or ,byte or whatever. %operands of * not same pointer type The operands of this operator are of different pointer types. This probably means you have used the wrong pointer, but if the code is actually what you intended, use a typecast to suppress the error message. %operands of * not same type The operands of this operator are of different pointer. This probably means you have used the wrong variable, but if the code is actually what you intended, use a typecast to suppress the error message. %operator * in incorrect context An operator has been encountered in a #if expression that is incorrectly placed, e.g. two binary operators are not separated by a value. %option not supported This is option is currently not supported. %out of far memory The compiler has run out of far memory. Try removing TSR's etc. If your system supports EMS memory, the compiler will be able to use up to 64K of this, so if it is not enable, try enabling EMS. %out of far memory (wanted * bytes) The code generator could not allocate any more far memory. Try reducing the memory used by TSR's etc. %out of memory The compiler has run out of memory. If you have unnecessary TSRs loaded, remove them. If you are running the compiler from inside another program, try running it directly from the command prompt. Similarly, if you are using HPD, try using the command line compiler driver instead. %out of near memory The compiler has run out of near memory. This is probably due to too many symbol names. Try splitting the program up, or reducing the number of unused symbols in header files etc. %out of space in macro * arg expansion A macro argument has exceeded the length of an internal buffer. This buffer is normally 4096 bytes long. %output file cannot be also an input file The linker has detected an attempt to write its output file over one of its input files. This cannot be done, because it needs to simultaneously read and write input and output files. %page width must be >= 41 The listing page widthe must be at least 41 characters. Any less will not allow a properly formatted listing to be produced. %phase error The assembler has calculated a different value for a symbol on two different passes. This is probably due to bizarre use of macros or conditional assembly. %phase error in macro args The assembler has detected a difference in the definition of a symbol on the first and a subsequent pass. %phase error on temporary label The assembler has detected a difference in the definition of a symbol on the first and a subsequent pass. %pointer required A pointer is required here. This often means you have used "->" with a structure rather than a structure pointer. %pointer to * argument required A pointer argument is required for this format specifier. Check the number and order of format specifiers and corresponding arguments. %pop immediate illegal It is not possible to pop into an immediate value. %pop of allreg!! This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %pop of register * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %popreg - bad reg *(*) This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %popreg - bad reg This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %popreg - trying to pop * with 0* regbits - can't do it! This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %portion of expression has no effect Part of this expression has no side effects, and no effect on the value of the expression. %possible pointer truncation A pointer qualifed "far" has been assigned to a default pointer or a pointer qualified "near", or a default pointer has been assigned to a pointer qualified "near". This may result in truncation of the pointer and loss of information, depending on the memory model in use. %preprocessor assertion failure The argument to a preprocessor #assert directive has evaluated to zero. This is a programmer induced error. %probable missing '}' in previous block The compiler has encountered what looks like a function or other declaration, but the preceding function has not been ended with a closing brace. This probably means that a closing brace has been omitted from somewhere in the previous function, although it may well not be the last one. %psect * cannot be in classes * A psect cannot be in more than one class. %psect * in more than one group This psect has been defined to be in more than one group. %psect * not loaded on * boundary This psect has a relocatability requirement that is not met by the load address given in a -P option. For example if a psect must be on a 4K byte boundary, you could not start it at 100H. %psect * not relocated on * boundary This psect is not relocated on the required boundary. Check the relocatability of the psect and correct the -p option. if necessary. %psect * not specified in -p option This psect was not specified in a "-P" option to the linker. It has been linked at the end of the program, which is probably not where you wanted it. %psect * re-orged This psect has had its start address specified more than once. %psect * selector value redefined The selector value for this psect has been defined more than once. %psect * type redefined: * This psect has had its type defined differently by different modules. This probably means you are trying to link imcompatible object modules, e.g. linking 386 flat model code with 8086 real mode code. %psect exceeds max size: * The psect has more bytes in it than the maximum allowed. %psect is absolute: * This psect is absolute and should not have an address specified in a -P option. %psect may not be local and global A psect may not be declared to be local if it has already been declared to be (default) global. %psect origin multiply defined: * The origin of this psect is defined more than once. %psect property redefined A property of a psect has been defined in more than place to be different. %psect reloc redefined The relocatability of this psect has been defined differently in two or more places. %psect selector redefined The selector associated with this psect has been defined differently in two or more places. %psect size redefined The maximum size of this psect has been defined differently in two or more places. %push of allreg!! This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %push of register * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %pushreg - bad reg This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %pushreg - bad reg *(*) This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %pushreg - trying to push * with 0* regbits - can't do it! This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %radix value out of range The value given for the current radix is out of range. It must be between 2 and 16. %read error on * The linker encountered an error trying to read this file. %record too long This indicates that the object file is not a valid HI-TECH object file. %record too long: * An object file contained a record with an illegal size. This probably means the file is corrupted or not an object file. %recursive macro definition of * The named macro has been defined in such a manner that expanding it causes a recursive expansion of itself! %redefining macro * The macro specified is being redefined, to something different to the original definition. If you want to deliberately redefine a macro, use #undef first to remove the original definition. %redundant & applied to array The address operator "&" has been applied to an array. Since using the name of an array gives its address anyway, this is unnecessary and has been ignored. %reginit!!!??? This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %regused - bad arg to g This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %relocation error It is not possible to add together two relocatable quantities. A constant may be added to a relocatable value, and two relocatable addresses in the same psect may be subtracted. An absolute value must be used in various places where the assembler must know a value at assembly time. %relocation offset * out of range 0..* An object file contained a relocation record with a relocation offset outside the range of the preceding text record. This means the object file is probably corrupted. %relocation too complex The complex relocation in this expression is too big to be inserted into the object file. %remsym error Internal error. Contact HI-TECH technical support. %rept argument must be >= 0 The argument to a "REPT" directive must be greater than zero. %restore without matching save A restore (to restore options) has been done before a corresponding save. %revlog - bad op This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %save/restore too deep The save directive has been used too many times without matching restores. %scale value invalid The scale value in the operand is invalid. It may only be 1, 2, 4 or 8. %scale value must be a constant The scale value in an operand must be an absolute constant. %seek error: * The linker could not seek when writing an output file. %segment * overlaps segment * The named segments have overlapping code or data. Check the addresses being assigned by the "-P" option. %signatures do not match: * The specified function has different signatures in different modules. This means it has been declared differently, e.g. it may have been prototyped in one module and not another. Check what declarations for the function are visible in the two modules specified and make sure they are compatible. %signed bitfields not supported Only unsigned bitfields are supported. If a bitfield is declared to be type "int", the compiler still treats it as unsigned. %simple integer expression required A simple integral expression is required after the operator "@", used to associate an absolute address with a variable. %simple type required for * A simple type (i.e. not an array or structure)is required as an operand to this operator. %size error You have attempted to store a value in a space that is too small, e.g. trying to initialize a byte location with an address that is 16 bits. %sizeof yields 0 The code generator has taken the size of an object and found it to be zero. This almost certainly indicates an error in your declaration of a pointer, e.g. you may have declared a pointer to a zero length array. In general, pointers to arrays are of little use. If you require a pointer to an array of objects of unknown length, you only need a pointer to a single object that can then be indexed or incremented. %storage class illegal A structure or union member may not be given a storage class. Its storage class is determined by the storage class of the structure. %storage class redeclared A variable or function has been re-declared with a different storage class. This can occur where there are two conflicting declarations, or where an implicit declaration is followed by an actual declaration. %strange character * after ## A character has been seen after the token catenation operator ## that is neither a letter nor a digit. Since the result of this operator must be a legal token, the operands must be tokens containing only letters and digits. %strange character after # * There is an unexpected character after #. %string expected The operand to an "asm" statement must be a string enclosed in parentheses. %string too long This string is too long. Shorten it. %struct/union member expected A structure or union member name must follow a dot (".") or arrow ("->"). %struct/union redefined: * A structure or union has been defined more than once. %struct/union required A structure or union identifier is required before a dot ("."). %struct/union tag or '{' expected An identifier denoting a structure or union or an opening brace must follow a "struct" or "union" keyword. %structure too big for function return The size of the structure type of this function is too big to allow the code generator to generate code to return it. %symbol * cannot be global There is an error in an object file, where a local symbol has been declared global. This is either an invalid object file, or an internal error in the linker. Try recreating the object file. %symbol * has erroneous psect: * There is an error in an object file, where a symbol has an invalid psect. This is either an invalid object file, or an internal error in the linker. Try recreating the object file. %symbol * is not external This symbols is not external, and should not be in an EXTERN directive. It is probably defined locally, and thus should be PUBLIC or GLOBAL. %symbol * not defined in #undef The symbol supplied as argument to #undef was not already defined. This is a warning only, but could be avoided by including the #undef in a #ifdef ... #endif block. %syntax error A syntax error has been detexted. This could be caused a number of things. %syntax error in -a spec The -A spec is invalid. A valid -A spec should be something like: -AROM=1000h-1FFFh %syntax error in checksum list There is a syntax error in a checksum list read by the linker. The checksum list is read from standard input by the linker, in response to an option. Re-read the manual on checksum listt. %text does not start at 0 Code in some things must start at zero. Here it doesn't. %text offset too low You aren't likely to see this error. Rhubarb! %text record has bad length: * There is an error in an object file. This is either an invalid object file, or an internal error in the linker. Try recreating the object file. %text record has length too small: * This indicates that the object file is not a valid HI-TECH object file. %this function too large - try reducing level of optimization A large function has been encountered when using a -Og (global optimization) switch. Try re-compiling without the global optimization, or reduce the size of the function. %this is a struct This identifier following a "union" or "enum" keyword is already the tag for a structure, and thus should only follow the keyword "struct". %this is a union This identifier following a "struct" or "enum" keyword is already the tag for a union, and thus should only follow the keyword "union". %this is an enum This identifier following a "struct" or "union" keyword is already the tag for an enumerated type, and thus should only follow the keyword "enum". %too few arguments This function requires more arguments than are provided in this call. %too few arguments for format string There are too few arguments for this format string. This would result in a garbage value being printed or converted at run time. %too many (*) enumeration constants There are too many enumeration constants in an enumerated type. The maximum number of enumerated constants allowed in an enumerated type is 512. %too many (*) structure members There are too many members in a structure or union. The maximum number of members allowed in one structure or union is 512. %too many arguments This function does not accept as many arguments as there are here. %too many arguments for format string There are too many arguments for this format string. This is harmless, but may represent an incorrect format string. %too many arguments for macro A macro may only have up to 31 parameters, as per the C Standard. %too many arguments in macro expansion There were too many arguments supplied in a macro invocation. The maximum number allowed is 31. %too many cases in switch There are too many case labels in this switch statement. The maximum allowable number of case labels in any one switch statement is 511. %too many comment lines - discarding The compiler is generating assembler code with embedded comments, but this function is so large that an excessive number of source line comments are being generated. This has been suppressed so that the optimizer will not run out of memory loading comment lines. %too many errors There were so many errors that the compiler has given up. Correct the first few errors and many of the later ones will probably go away. %too many include directories A maximum of 7 directories may be specified for the preprocessor to search for include files. %too many initializers There are too many initializers for this object. Check the number of initializers against the object definition (array or structure). %too many macro parameters There are too many macro parameters on this macro definition. %too many nested #* statements #if, #ifdef etc. blocks may only be nested to a maximum of 32. %too many psect class specifications There are too many psect class specifications (-C options) %too many psect pragmas Too many "pragma psect" directives have been used. %too many psects There are too many psects! Boy, what a program! %too many qualifier names There are too many qualifier names specified. %too many relocation items Objtohex filled up a table. This program is just way too complex! %too many segment fixups There are too many segment fixups in the object file given to objtohex. %too many segments There are too many segments in the object file given to objtohex. %too many symbols There are too many symbols for the assemblers symbol table. Reduce the number of symbols in your program. If it is the linker producing this error, suggest changing some global to local symbols. %too many temporary labels There are too many temporary labels in this assembler file. The assembler allows a maximum of 2000 temporary labels. %too may symbols There are too many symbols for the assemblers symbol table. Reduce the number of symbols in your program. %too much indirection A pointer declaration may only have 16 levels of indirection. %too much pushback This error should not occur, and represents an internal error in the preprocessor. %type conflict The operands of this operator are of incompatible types. %type redeclared The type of this function or object has been redeclared. This can occur because of two incompatible declarations, or because an implicit declaration is followed by an incompatible declaration. %type specifier reqd. for proto arg A type specifier is required for a prototyped argument. It is not acceptable to just have an identifier. %unbalanced paren's, op is * The evaluation fo a #if expression found mismatched parentheses. Check the expression for correct parenthesisation. %undefined enum tag: * This enum tag has not been defined. %undefined label: * This label has not been defined anywhere in the current function. Check for spelling errors. %undefined operand size The size of the operand to this instruction was not defined. Use ",byte" or ",word", or ",dword" as appropriate. %undefined public symbol * A symbol declared PUBLIC is not defined in this module. Use GLOBAL or EXTRN or define the symbol. %undefined shift (* bits) An attempt has been made to shift a value by a number of bits equal to or greater than the number of bits in the data type, e.g. shifting a long by 32 bits. This will produce an undefined result on many processors. This is non-portable code and is flagged as having undefined results by the C Standard. %undefined struct/union This structure or union tag is undefined. Check spelling etc. %undefined struct/union: * The specified structure or union tag is undefined. Check spelling etc. %undefined symbol * The named symbol is not defined, and has not been specified "GLOBAL". %undefined symbol * in #if, 0 used A symbol on a #if expression was not a defined preprocessor macro. For the purposes of this expression, its value has been taken as zero. %undefined symbol: The symbol following is undefined at link time. This could be due to spelling error, or failure to link an appropriate module. %undefined symbols: A list of symbols follows that were undefined at link time. %undefined temporary label A temporary label has been referenced that is not defined. Note that a temporary label must have a number >= 0. %undefined variable: * This variable has been used but not defined at this point %unexpected end of file This probably means an object file has been truncated because of a lack of disk (or RAMdisk) space. %unexpected eof An end-of-file was encountered unexpectedly. Check syntax. %unexpected text in #control line ignored This warning occurs when extra characters appear on the end of a control line, e.g. #endif something The "something" will be ignored, but a warning is issued. It is preferable (and in accordance with Standard C) to enclose the "something" as a comment, e.g. #endif /* something */ %unknown predicate * This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %unknown addressing mode This addressing mode is not recognized by the assembler %unknown arg to opt This argument to OPT is not recognized. %unknown arg type to lpsize This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %unknown complex operator * There is an error in an object file. This is either an invalid object file, or an internal error in the linker. Try recreating the object file. %unknown directive This directive is not known to the assembler. %unknown fnrec type * This indicates that the object file is not a valid HI-TECH object file. %unknown option * This option to the preprocessor is not recognized. %unknown pragma * An unknow pragma directive was encountered. %unknown psect: * This psect has been listed in a -P option, but is not defined in any module within the program. %unknown record type: * An invalid object module has been read by the linker. It is either corrupted or not an object file. %unreachable code This section of code will never be executed, because there is no execution path by which it could be reached. Look for missing "break" statements inside a control structure like "while" or "for". %unreasonable matching depth This is an internal code generator error. Contact HI-TECH technical support with full details of the code that caused this error. %unrecognized argument to opt This argument to OPT is not recognized. %unrecognized option to -o: * The code generator has been given a -O option with an unknown modifier. %unrecognized option to -z: * The code generator has been passed a -Z option it does not understand. This should not happen if it is invoked with the standard driver. %unrecognized qualifer name after 'strings' The pragma 'strings' requires a list of valid qualifer names. For example #pragma strings const code would add const and code to the current string qualifiers. If no qualifiers are specified, all qualification will be removed from subsequent strings. The qualifer names must be recognized by the compiler. %unterminated #if[n][def] block from line * A #if or similar block was not terminated with a matching #endif. The line number is the line on which the #if block began. %unterminated macro arg An argument to a macro is not terminated. Note that angle brackets ("<>") are used to quote macro arguments. %unterminated string A string constant appears not to have a closing quote missing. %unterminated string in macro body A macro definition contains a string that lacks a closing quote. %unused constant: * This enumerated constant is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused enum: * This enumerated type is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused label: * This label is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused member: * This structure member is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused structure: * This structure tag is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused typedef: * This typedef is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused union: * This union type is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused variable declaration: * This variable is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %unused variable definition: * This variable is never used. Maybe it isn't needed at all. %variable may be used before set: * This variable may be used before it has been assigned a value. Since it is an auto variable, this will result in it having a random value. %void function cannot return value A void function cannot return a value. Any "return" statement should not be followed by an expression. %while expected The keyword "while" is expected at the end of a "do" statement. %work buffer overflow * An internal preprocessor buffer has been filled. This buffer has a size of 4096 bytes. %write error (out of disk space?) * Probably means that the hard disk or RAM disk is full. %write error on * A write error occured on the named file. This probably means you have run out of disk space. %write error on object file An error was reported when the assembler was attempting to write an object file. This probably means there is not enough disk space. %wrong number of macro arguments for * - * instead of * A macro has been invoked with the wrong number of arguments. %{ expected An opening brace was expected here. %} expected A closing brace was expected here.
