C18 3.47's "best" optimization will aggressively optimize interrupt routines. Use the #pragma interruptlow and #pragma interrupt directives explicitly and mark any shared variables as volatile. Example:
#pragma interrupt high_isr
void high_isr(void)
volatile unsigned char temp = INTCON; // Read to clear
// Your fast code here
Microchip officially stopped supporting C18 in 2013, recommending a migration to XC8. However, for many engineers, MPLAB C18 347 full version remains the best tool for specific scenarios:
