#153056 - me too said Keil
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Note that there are compilers out there that can virtualize serial (or embedded) EEPROM and make it look like a regular variable in the source code. IAR and BASCOM are two that come to mind. me too said Keil. It is amazing what totally destructive functionality the compiler makers add to satisfy the "PC programmers" that believe they can do the '51.

It is a technique that I strongly discourage the use of because it totally hides the "performance price" of such usage
'discourage' is waaaay too 'soft' a word. I would use "avoid at all times". If you can live with your 1MIPS processor becoming a 1kIPS processor, then I wonder what you are doing.
