Hi,

I'm using CCSv5.2.1 with MSP430Ware 1.20.00.16. I have found some discrepancies between doxygen code documentation and function implementation for the UART module.

For UART_enableInterrupt() and UART_disableInterrupt() the description for the mask parameter states the mask parameter is a logical OR of

UART_RECEIVE_INTERRUPT
UART_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT
UART_RECEIVE_ERRONEOUSCHAR_INTERRUPT
UART_BREAKCHAR_INTERRUPT

But reading the corresponding function implementations both the ASSERT() and switch() statements don't allow that logical combination for the mask parameter.

Best regards,

Christian Steffen

Oh... was this post in the wrong forum or isn't anyone interested in this? I would like to help to reduce possible errors in the published library or to avoid misunderstandings with the documentation.

It's the right forum. Bit since it was a statement and not a question, it surely got noticed but it didn't ask for a reply.
Sooner or later someone related to the library will pick it up, check it and then maybe post a 'thank you'. At least as long as your thread doesn't have a 'verified answer'.
But don't expect it to happen immediately. There's quite some traffic here and most people deal with questions and problems, not with solutions :)

But now that ou asked, you got an answer. :)
