Hi all,
My recent documentation has received input from a number of people, and
has had a number of fixes applied. It now seems to be a reasonable
representation of reality. I have, therefore, made it the default
documentation and FAQ at the mspgcc web site.
I have had the latest IAR compiler (2.10) for a while, but was only
prompted to seriously try it a few days ago, when I did some floating
speed comparisons between compilers. I find it has many differences from
version 1.26. The syntax of interrupt routines is different, perhaps for
some good compatibility reason I can't see. However, many seemingly
pointless changes have been made. All the special feature functions,
like BIC_SR, have changed names. I am wondering if it is worth adding
some compatibility definitions to our header files, to make as many of
these new names synonyms for the old ones. We already have a number of
macros, which exist for IAR compatibility, so this is just a matter of
extending that practice. Any thoughts on this subject? How compatible is
it worth trying to be?
Regards,
Steve
