PROGRAM CODE COMPATIBILITY OF CCE 3..0.0 TO CCS 5.2Vs.

Dear All

          I am working on MSP430 platform with CCE 3.0.0. I did all my project using CCE 3.0.0 compiler. Now if I use CCS5.2 Compiler & open the existing project which was build in CCE3.0.0 environment then I am getting more that 100 errors.But If same project is build in CCE 3.0.0 then it does not give any error.

Please tell which are changes required to open the existing CCE 3.0.0 project in CCS 5.2 compiler.Is there any option provided in the CCS 5.2 compiler to take care of lower compatibilities issues.?

Thanking you,

With best regards,

Gokul Tile

  • One problem is that CCE is based on Eclipse. And Eclipse has some bad habits when it comes to moving projects between different installations. You need to import the projects rather than just use them.
    CCS adds to this by adding some constants etc. when a project is created. Which might be different for diferent compiler versions.

    Try creating a new project and copy over the source files only. (note that any non-default project settings of the original project need to be doen in the new project too).

    In most of the reported similar cases, all errors are gone then.

    "IDE" stands for "Integrated Development Environment". Integration is nice, but it also means that any new installation or paralel installation, new version or whatever, is outside the integration. Just like you cannot backup the folder of an installed program and restore it on a different computer. (which once worked well for DOS programs)
