(I don't know if I will)
We would have to add these names somewhere.
If we add a:
file_register->add_bit_names(char **names)
and a char *file_register->get_bit_name(int bit)
and add s call to add_bit_names() for every add_name() that currently
are in the code.
Another thing somewhat related to this problem is that symbols
"status", "pcl", "indf", ... are recognized as of type
SYMBOL_CONSTANT instead of SYMBOL_REGISTER. We want a way to match
symbols to SFR names.
Having the SFRs of type SYMBOL_REGISTER would allow the register
viewer to distinguish between SFR's and other registers (perhaps with
another color). (it would help in other ways too)
