CODECOMPOSER: v12.8.1 - How do I disable Performance Advisor?

Luca Matteini
Prodigy 230 points
Part Number: CODECOMPOSER
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CCSTUDIO

Tool/software:

In a project for F280039 I have Performance Advisor running all the time (and opening the Advice tab after project rebuild), even after I remove the tick in CCSBuild / C2000 Compiler / Performance Advisor.
Every time I reopen the configuration tab the option is selected.

Then I tried removing the line in the XML file .cproject

<option id="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.C2000_22.6.compilerID.ADVICE__PERFORMANCE.1965690367" name="Provide advice on optimization techniques (--advice:performance)" superClass="com.ti.ccstudio.buildDefinitions.C2000_22.6.compilerID.ADVICE__PERFORMANCE" value="" valueType="string"/>

That worked for a while until I switched the build configuration.

I assume then it's generated upon project selection or setup refresh: how do I get rid of it definitively?

[EDIT]
My tentative editing .cproject file was so clearly wrong, that I don't know what made the issue come and go, at times

    Hello Luca,

    Luca Matteini said:

    Every time I reopen the configuration tab the option is selected.

    I can reproduce the issuewhere the checkbox is still enabled. However, I noticed that the "--advice:performance" option is no longer passed to the compiler unless I toggle the checkbox again. Is this the case for you also?

    Regardless, please note that CCS 12.x has been deprecated in support hence there are no plans to fix it in that version for CCS. I did check current CCS 20 and the issue does not occur there.

    Thanks

    Regarding your question, there is no "--advice:performance" option for the compiler, and every time I open project properties this is the current setting

    Seems almost OK. However, with the option ticked or not, this is always the result

    Well, about CCS 12 vs. 20, I'll live with these messages then: the open issues with v.20 are still far worse, to be acceptable by my team/project :shrug:

    Please note that Optimizer Assistance is not Performance Advisor:

    Performance Advisor only apply in specific circumstances. For more details, see section 2.3.3 of: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/spru514z/spru514z.pdf

    Sorry then, the two names have unfortunate similarities (advice on performance, performance advisor) that lead me to mistake one for another.

    My unfixed problem is still with Performance Advisor, as in the original message and all the reported screenshots.

    I do see the issue with the IDE regarding the checkbox, however it is not having any tangible impact. Please note that CCS Eclipse has been deprecated in support, hence we do not plan on addressing this issue in CCS Eclipse.
