CCSv5 5.2 or 5.3 TMS32C55 (release candidate 1) assembler multi-line error description fails to be listed in the problems view.

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5535

I have not been writing assembler and our DSP engineers that do have just switched over to CCSv5 from CCSv4 for the TMS320C5535.   It appears that in CCSv4 the problems view did list the problem but not longer does in CCSv5.   It knows the location but does not list the problem description.   If the console view does not contain the line in question you cannot scroll through it to get the error. You need to specifically rebuild that assembler file.   Consider this error listing.  It is plain that the error parser is not capable of handling this and just parses the line with ERROR in it.    I have seen this before for other compilers in Eclipse and there was a switch to put all error information on one line. This is an IMPORTANT usability issue.

  • Tim,

    I was able to reproduce the error and submitted a bug report for this. I noticed this tends to happen with "linked" assembly source files rather than "added" source files (ones that physically reside in the same folder as the project). The bug tracking # for your reference is SDSCM00045842 and you may track its status using the SDOWP link in my signature.
