#168540 - sure you can and THINK
Responding to: ???'s previous message
so if the only instructions that can be used with bit addressable memory are SETB and CLR, what is their purpose? It doesn't seem to be productive to set and clear a bit if it has no effect anywhere and you can't later tell if it is set or cleared
look at jb and jbc

take as an example the RI bit, you want to see if it is set (jb) and if so, do something and clear it.

the same will aply to a "program flag"

the bit instructions is just about the most versatile instructions for a microcontroller application, if you are looking for a microprocessor the '51, most likely, is the wrong choice.
