Program Control

This chapter discusses the processes and features involved in controlling the

flow of a program on the ’C24x.

Program control involves controlling the order in which one or more blocks of

instructions are executed. Normally, the flow of a program is sequential; the

’C24x executes instructions at consecutive program-memory addresses. At

times, a program must branch to a nonsequential address and then execute

instructions sequentially at that new location. For this purpose, the ’C24x sup-

ports branches, calls, returns, repeats, and interrupts.
