Compiler/TMS320C6678: compiler differences version 7.4.24 and 7.6.0

Part Number: TMS320C6678

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

hi,

when running same code on C6678 we get different outputs when compiling with version 7.4.24 and 7.6.0.

it happens only when compiling with optimization (-o3).

(the output with 7.4.24 and 7.6.0 without optimization is as expected.)

so, in general, what are the differences between these compilers version and are there any known issues when compiling with -o3 on v7.6.0?

thanks in advance,

shay.

    In the root of the installation directory of the 7.6.0 compiler release, you will find a file named DefectHistory.txt.  The last part of this text file lists the defects known at the time of release.  Some of those descriptions are vague.  If you want to know more about a specific issue, ask in your next post.  Be sure to include the ID.  I'll look it up in our system, and I can usually give more detail, but not always.  

    All that said, it is unlikely that your issue is among those listed.  Since 7.6.0 is about 4 years old, please consider upgrading to a more recent version of the compiler.  While I can't make a guarantee, there is a good chance your issue is fixed.

    Thanks and regards,
