Compiler/TMS320F280049C: CLAMath min function query

1. Is there any drawback on using float32_t type for code sections which are running under c28x cpu ? Or Should I use float instead 

Datatypes for the C28x and the CLA are described in the Compiler User's Guide - http://www.ti.com/lit/spru514. on both CPUs the float type is 32-bit.  float32_t is another way of writing this (it is just a typedef for float) to make it clear to the reader of the size.  For example "double" is 64-bit on some CPUs and 32-bit on others.  Using float32_t and float64_t makes it clear.   I recommend using the size specific typedefs for this reason.

2. CLAmath.h library has a function named fminf  does it work like the following Macro ? 

fminf calls the CLA compiler's intrinsic __minf32.  Refer to the Compiler User's Guide for the definition. (table 10-1)

If it does work then which one is advised to be used for code sections running under c28x cpu? 

There are similar intrinsics for the C28x FPU -  (Table 7.7 of the user's guide)

3. Overall Is there any drawback on Using CLAMath.h library for code sections running under c28x mcu ? 

I don't recommend doing this.  There are equivalents for the C28x FPU.
