 		 #88953 - DEC DPTR
Responding to: ???'s previous message
hi,

Andy Neil said:
As I keep saying, the big advantage of the 8051 architecture is that any 8051 tools can be used to create code for it because they all share exactly the same instruction set.
As soon as you start messing with the instruction set you lose that completely, and start requiring device-specific tools - like the PICs?


Yes, this is the reason to keep instruction set untouch. Anyway, additional instructions may be done with macros (DB opcode). From other side, if IDE knows about derivative-specific hardware so what is against to have the similar database of its specific instructions?

For example, Keil supports Winbond part W77E58. Here is from the derivative datasheet:
Save This Code
It has the same instruction set as the 8051 family,
with one addition: DEC DPTR (op-code A5H, the DPTR is decreased by 1)
Michael, if you here: it is yet another my note about op-code 0xA5 and CY flag etc you posted in other thread.

Indeed, Keil does not support this command however the derivative in its database.

Regards,
Oleg
