Solution: Keil c51 PSOC3 __asm documentation error and solution.

[WaMa_286156]

I am trying to create a multi-line assembly #define.

The keil documentation says __asm { push ACC } is the format.  That is a lie.  If you do that, the result is:

                       2520              { push ACC; };
*** _____________________________________^
*** ERROR #A9 IN 2520 (Z:\drop-folder\Dropbox\4g\Cypress\Projects\Depth\DepthRTOS_PSOC3-Brd6V0\Source\tasks.src, LINE 25
                               20): SYNTAX ERROR

-----------

The correct format is

__asm push ACC  

  That produces the correct result.

In order to generate a #define that creates several lines of assembly code for 8051, you must use this format

__asm push ACC \n push IE \n CLR EA \n

The __asm caused the assembly to be generated.  *Important:* to get *each* of the lines of assembly out, you must follow each assembly instruction with a \n.  During my testing, I left the \n off of the CLR EA, and it did not get emitted.
