Bit problem with operator

SamTheMan

How can I use the operator and(&)·with two·bits?
same with add, sub ,.....
the compiler keep complaining when I try to perform any operation with two bit variables
Example:

x=a and b

where:
x var bit
a var bit
b var bit

When the destination is a bit variable, only assignment (=) is allowed.
The compiler doesn't support any bit operators (mainly because the SX doesn't support them).
You can assign the bit variables to byte variables and do the operation, or do IF...THEN constructs.

__PARAM1 = a
__PARAM2 = b
__PARAM3 = __PARAM1 AND __PARAM2
x = __PARAM3.0

or

x = 0
IF a = 1 THEN
· IF b = 1 THEN
··· x = 1
· ENDIF
ENDIF

I know it's not pretty, but it is exactly what the compiler would have to generate anyway.

What this points out is that SX/B is pretty close to the core -- this is what allows it to output clean assembly code that we can all learn from. I've been adding a lot more assembly to my projects, and a lot of those assembly segments start as the compiled output from SX/B that I hand-optimized.
