// Bad: avoid recursion, dynamic allocation, large stack frames | Problem | Cause | Solution | |---------|-------|----------| | Interrupt not firing | Wrong vector number | Check .map file for interrupt table | | Code > 2KB banked? | Missing __banked keyword | Add #pragma bank=1 before function | | Stack overflow | Mixing large local arrays | Move to __xdata or __idata | | Sluggish performance | Using __xdata for frequently accessed vars | Use __data for hot variables | | Linker error "segment too small" | Memory model mismatch | Increase segment in .xcl or change model | 11.
