CCS on MacOS-X and C++

Hi Pascal,

 The MAC OS X version comes with the MSP430 compiler v4.4.1, therefore C++ should be supported (but maybe there is a problem with the Beta IDE/Debug session). It works for me using the windows version  (v4.41 and CCS v6.1.x) and the following code:

#include <msp430.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

class testLED
{
public:
	uint16_t dutyCycles;
//	testLED(void);
	void initLED();
	void toggleLED();
};


/*testLED::testLED(void)
{
	dutyCycles=10;
}*/

void testLED::initLED(void)
{
	P1DIR |= 0x01;					// Set P1.0 to output direction
}

void testLED::toggleLED(void)
{
	P1OUT ^= 0x01;				// Toggle P1.0 using exclusive-OR
}

int main(void) {
	testLED myLED;

	WDTCTL = WDTPW | WDTHOLD;		// Stop watchdog timer

	myLED.initLED();

	for(;;) {
		volatile unsigned int i;	// volatile to prevent optimization

		myLED.toggleLED();

		i = 40000;					// SW Delay
		do i--;
		while(i != 0);
	}
	
	return 0;
}

Could you please try that code and let us know if you see the same problem. At the same could please try the CCS could version

  Thanks,

Hello David!

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried your code, and no surprise, it works the same way (i.e. it doesn't).
If I step over the line just after main, it works (i.e. the LED blinks with a period
of approximately 0.5 second), but it doesn't step.
I have already used C++ on Windows and the debugger works.

By the way, when creating it would be great with a "c++ project" option, which would
configure the right way. To be frank, I'm not sure of which option I should choose.
Is it automatically chosen when the file name is .cpp?
As for the C++ options:
Enable exception handling: even without, it should be possible to work in C++. Same with
support C++ runtime type information...

And last thing, when adding a file to a directory, Eclipse uses it directly and compiles
it. I have a collection of driver files (for various sensors, LCDs, etc...) that are
kept together. With IAR, I add the path to this directory. If I add the path to eclipse,
it will add all the files, most of which are unrelated.
I know that I can opt out by "exclude from build", but the best solution would be to
opt in every file.

Thanks,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

 In regards to your question:

Please take a look at this UG www.ti.com/lit/slau132 Sections "changing How the Compiler Interprets Filenames" and "Changing How the Compiler Processes C Files".

As the same time I'm moving your post to the CCS Forum as I believe they should be able to provide you with the information/help that you need.

  Best regards,

Hello!

Thanks for the replies. Well, I'm not really in a hurry, so I'll wait for a more stable version. As it's a beta,

I wasn't expecting a perfect release.

Hello Rafael!

Thanks for the info! That was quick!
