#139710 - No, that's wrong
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Neil Kurzman said:
You can use "bdata"

char bdata bitByte;

X = bitByte ^ 6;

That's a common mistake (been there, done that)

The '^' used as an operator in an expression like that has its normal, standard 'C' meaning of "Exclusive-OR"

To define a bit within a bit-addressable byte, you need to do this:
char bdata bitByte; // Define a bit-addressable byte

sbit X = bitByte^6; // Define 'X' as bit 6 within the byte

Why on earth Keil had to choose '^' for this purpose - thus almost guaranteeing this confusion - is a mystery!
