Hi Jürgen,
I am using the mspgcc 3.4 (with GCC 3.3.6) for some time now and
could never really figure out why there is 3.4 in the cvs repository
alongside with 4.0.2 and 4.1.1?
msp430-gcc-3.2.3 is the one to use, 4.0.2 and 4.1.1 are work in progress.
Whenever I read something about a version 4.x all I see is that
people don't get it compiling. People are suggesting to use 3.4 as
this is the most recent one. Since 3.4 is missing some functionality
of the 4.x I was wondering how the project is evolving. Is it
planned to move to 4.x at some point?
There is although finding time (or someone) to do the work on the
machine description file is the hold up at the moment.
As you can also see from my other posting I am missing a special
link-time optimization. Compared to other compilers like Crossworks
this is not implemented in mspgcc yet. Is there an alternative?
Separate the objects into separate C files as the linker takes adds
together single object files to make the final code.
Is there a tool that works like LLVM (http://llvm.org) that seems to
be able to enhance the GNU GCC with the functionality? Or shall I
wait for the feature to be implemented in mspgcc? Don't get me wrong,
I know that mspgcc is non-commercial and that people and working on
it for free.
I don't know what the time frame will be for the V4 version of mspgcc.
Regards,
