I am using CCS v5.1.0.09000 with MSP430 C compiler v4.0.0.  The following code produces an error on the indicated lines and states MISRA rule 10.1 ("The value of an expression of integer type shall not be implicitly converted to a different underlying type if it is not a conversion to a wider integer type of the same signedness") as the reason.  The error stays with the line containing the function call, so I think the compiler has a problem with the return value of Uart_WriteByteArray().  The curious part about this bug is that it depends on the size of the second parameter.

Thanks, Austin

From header file:
typedef enum UartError
{
    UartError_OK,
    UartError_NO_DATA,
    UartError_BUFFER_FULL
} UartError_t;

typedef enum UartPort
{
    UartPort_0 = 0u,
    UartPort_1 = 1u,
    UartPort_2 = 2u,
    UartPort_3 = 3u
} UartPort_t;

extern UartError_t Uart_WriteByteArray(
    UartPort_t port,
    uint16_t numToWrite,
    const uint8_t source[]);

Code:

{
    static uint8_t junk[300];
    const uint16_t length = 30u;
    UartError_t error;

    error = Uart_WriteByteArray(    /* MISRA 10.1 error reported */
                UartPort_1,
                300u,
                junk);

    error = Uart_WriteByteArray(    /* okay */
                UartPort_1,
                30u,
                junk);

    error = Uart_WriteByteArray(    /* MISRA 10.1 error reported */
                UartPort_1,
                length,
                junk);

    if (error == UartError_OK)
    {
        _no_operation();
    }
}
