Dear Mahmood, I did view the assembly code generated by the compiler. Again, nothing's special.

The asm file generated are:

;ser_uart.c:32: void ser_init( unsigned int rate ) {
; -----------------------------------------
; function ser_init
; -----------------------------------------
_ser_init:
ar2 = 0x02
ar3 = 0x03
ar4 = 0x04
ar5 = 0x05
ar6 = 0x06
ar7 = 0x07
ar0 = 0x00
ar1 = 0x01

mov r2,dpl
mov r3,dph
;ser_uart.c:34: TH2 = RCAP2H = rate >> 8;
mov ar4,r3
mov r5,#0x00
mov _RCAP2H,r4
mov _TH2,r4
;ser_uart.c:35: TL2 = RCAP2L = rate;
mov _RCAP2L,r2
mov _TL2,r2
;ser_uart.c:36: SCON = 0x72; // Mode 1, REN 1
mov _SCON,#0x72
;ser_uart.c:37: T2CON = 0x34; // TR2 = 1;
mov _T2CON,#0x34
00101$:
ret
