Hi.

During I study the source code which is C programing mixing assembly language.

I found:

STATIC void PPStartCode( byte xxx)


Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of STATIC for embbeded C programming.

Thanks.
 

Functions with the static clause are local to the module/file. You can't call these functions from any other c file expect the one which defines it.

This helps us to prevent calling this function accidentally because if you do that compiler will give you a warning/error depending on implementation.

Check out this link for clear understanding with example

That's true for static, but there's no such thing as STATIC in standard C.
It's probably defined in some special header file. Go search for it.

If for a specific C compiler which not case sensitive, that mean STATIC is corresponding to static.

Correct me if I am wrong.
 

All (non-broken) C compilers are case sensitive with keywords such as "static".
