Hi-tech picc-18 pro _delay() bug

_delay

In PICC18 user manual it's writen _delay() inline function argument is unsigned long but if you check below 3 examples there is something wrong

exam 1 correct,
#include <pic18.h>
void main(void)
{
_delay(770);
}

143 003FF2 _main:

exam 2 wrong,

#include <pic18.h>

void main(void)
{
_delay(771);

What is wrong ? Is it bug or something missed ?
Thanks for interesting.

Look at the _delay's definition.

Have you specified the running frequency
of your PIC18 ?

_delay hi-tech c

Running frequency is necessary for PICC-18 STD version.

For PRO version, _delay() generating number of cycles.

Here is PICC-18 PRO manual description,

Description
This is an inline function that is expanded by the code generator. When called, this routine expands
to an inline assembly delay sequence. The sequence will consist of code that delays for the number
of cycles that is specified as argument. The argument must be a literal constant.

Example
#include <htc.h>
void
main (void)
{
control |= 0x80;
_delay(10); // delay for 10 cycles
control &= 0x7F;
}
