I apologize for the delay.  Please put the project in the state where this happens ...

Then zip it up as described in the article Project Sharing.  Attach that zip file to your next post.

Thanks and regards,

I will give you more information on the CCS that you requested  soon, for now in order to move on in my project I have reduced the number of .h and .c files by merging the code and not adding any more sub-folders in CCS.

I'd appreciate if we could get the requested test case.

Thanks and regards,

ScreenShot_Unterminated.pdfAttached is screenshot PDF , when I increase number of Folders or  files beyond CCS7 limit , it seems.  

If I reduce folders or files to TestFolder1 only , then problem goes way .

Cannot zip entire project because it has company's proprietary intellectual property  source code

screenShot2unterminatedQuote.pdfSecond screenshot attached showing full console display of error

I appreciate the screen shots.  However, we cannot make a test case with them.

Keep in mind that the build engine in CCS has worked well for a long time. Whatever is wrong is probably due to an odd combination of many circumstances.  Just by guessing, it is impossible to create a test case.

It is possible to send the project just to me.  Would that be OK?

Thanks and regards,

Attached is a .txt file showing the "unterminated quote" error after doing a clean compile.

Reducing either .h or .c  by one file from build removes the error

It seems in  CCS7 maximum number of files allowed in the Build was reached.

It seems, as if the size of linker file list is too short and cannot accommodate any more characters to include name of one more file.

This is a bug.LogToTI_UnterminatedErr.txt

ErrorFreeLogAfterReducingby1File.txtI just now sent you Build log file showing "unterminate quote" linker error , attached now is same Build with just one file reduced and is error free. Perhaps comparing the two .txt file may help you where the problem could be

I can tell that once the link command goes over some size threshold, CCS auto-generates a temporary linker command file which contains all the options, object file names, etc.  And the error appears in that temporary linker command file.  Unfortunately, none of this helps me create a test case.  Other large projects build with no problems.  There is some specific thing your project does which exposes the problem.  The only way to get at that detail is if you submit your project.

I understand your reluctance.  But it is the only way forward.  Please consider sending it just to me.  Hover your mouse over my screen name or avatar.  A dialog box pops up.  Click on Send a private message.  Use the paper clip icon to attach the zip file.

Thanks and regards,
