hi,
Is there any possibility to force C language to generate DJNZ

indeed, for next source

	unsigned char x;
	unsigned char a=0;

	for (x=200; x > 0; x--)
		a++;

Keil compiler uses DJNZ:

     CLR      A
     MOV      R7,A
     MOV      R6,#0xC8
FOR_CYCLE:
     INC      R7
     DJNZ     R6,FOR_CYCLE

But as Andy said: you must not rely on that next version of compiler will still use the same way. Be caryful.

Regards,
Oleg
