the command backfills unused memory with 0x12 and the overall 16 bit sum of the complete 64 kByte block is zero. If the program counter on an mcs51 runs wild the backfill pattern 0x12 will be interpreted as an lcall to address 0x1212 (where an emergency routine could sit).

... anyway^3.4

possible exception: if a function is called ONLY from 'interrupt' functions using a particular bank, it can be declared with the same 'using' attribute as the calling 'interrupt' functions. For instance, if you have several ISRs using bank one, and all of them call memcpy(), it might make sense to create a specialized version of memcpy() 'using 1', since this would prevent the ISR from having to save bank zero to the stack on entry and switch to bank zero before calling the function

...__endasm;”^3.5

Note, that the single underscore form (_asm and _endasm) are not C99 compatible, and for C99 compatibility, the double-underscore form (__asm and __endasm) has to be used. The latter is also used in the library functions.

...).^3.6

This is a slightly more stringent rule than absolutely necessary, but stays always on the safe side. Labels in the form of nnnnn$ are local labels in the assembler, locality of which is confined within two labels of the standard form. The compiler uses the same form for labels within a function (but starting from nnnnn=00100); and places always a standard label at the beginning of a function, thus limiting the locality of labels within the scope of the function. So, if the inline assembler part would be embedded into C-code, an improperly placed non-local label in the assembler would break up the reference space for labels created by the compiler for the C-code, leading to an assembling error.

The numeric part of local labels does not need to have 5 digits (although this is the form of labels output by the compiler), any valid integer will do. Please refer to the assemblers documentation for further details.

Here, the C-label clabel is translated by the compiler into a local label, so the locality of labels within the function is not broken.

... little-endian^8.1

Usually 8-bit processors don't care much about endianness. This is not the case for the standard 8051 which only has an instruction to increment its dptr-datapointer so little-endian is the more efficient byte order.
