The "Warning unreferenced functions removed:" entries can safely be ignored.

But the "Internal Error: Trying to add bank switching for var that has no memory" error is a problem.

This is a problem with the compiler, which has been patched to fix this problem. See here:

[EDIT: this will not work. You will need a special version of these files for Flowcode - see below in this thread]

Hi Steve
thanks for the prompt response. I downloaded the fix (zip file) and after unzipping found 3 files
boostc++.pic16
boostc++.pic18
boostc++.plc

I ran the pic 16 file as I am working on this series of chip, the dos code window shows code activity, and then I ran flow code again trying to compile to chip. but no change, still getting:-
Warning: Recursion may cause call stack overflow in

function:'FCM_READMODE'

Return code = -2
Have I missed a step in installing the fix?

Sorry, Joe - my mistake. We need to get special versions of the BoostC files for Flowcode. I will hopefully have them available to download later today.

Please post your FCF and C files and we'll have a look.
