Built-in Routines
The mikroC PRO for ARM compiler provides a set of useful built-in utility functions.
The Lo, Hi, Higher, Highest, LoWord, HiWord routines are implemented as macros. If you want to use these functions you must include built_in.h header file (located in the inlclude folder of the compiler) into your project.
The Delay_us and Delay_ms routines are implemented as “inline”; i.e. code is generated in the place of a call, so the call doesn’t count against the nested call limit.
The Vdelay_ms, Vdelay_advanced_ms, Delay_Cyc, Delay_Cyc_Long, Get_Fosc_kHz and Get_Fosc_Per_Cyc are actual C routines. Their sources can be found in Delays.c file located in the uses folder of the compiler.
