genAIS warning messages

When I run the genAIS.pl script, I get many pages of the following warning message:

Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: .cinit at genAIS.pl line 318

Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: .bios at genAIS.pl line 318

essentially a warning msg referencing line 318 for each section type in my app, ie. .cinit, .bss, .bios, .debug_line, .debug_info .... etc.

The perl version is ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003, downloaded from the TI website.

The genAIS.pl version is V1.05.00, dated 2007-Jan-25.

genAIS.pl Line 318:       $cf = XMLin($xmlFile);

Can these warnings be ignored, or are they pointing out an incompatiblity I should fix?

Thanks.

    There are some incompatibility issues with ActivePerl 5.10.0. I ran into some issues when using this newer version of ActivePerl as well and had to revert back to 5.8.8.

    Does this mean the output can't be trusted when using ActivePerl 5.10.0, or are the warnings benign?  Thanks for the confirmation of what I'm seeing.

    The output I saw was incorrect, so I strongly urge you to move back to Perl 5.8.8. I will see if I can dig up any collateral that backs this up.

    *edit* Take a look at this link: https://community.ti.com/forums/t/110.aspx

    Perl 5.8.8 has exactly the same behavior with genAIS 1.05.00.  There are a hundred or more of these warnings, all referencing line 318 in genAIS:

    Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: .debug_line at genAIS.pl line 318
    Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: .debug_info at genAIS.pl line 318
    Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: .debug_info at genAIS.pl line 318
    Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: $C$RL0 at genAIS.pl line 318
    Warning: <symbol> element has non-unique value in 'name' key attribute: $C$RL1 at genAIS.pl line 318

    .

    .

    .

     

    Perl version info:

    >perl -v

    This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
    (with 12 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

    Can the warnings be ignored?  Is there a newer version of genAIS that corrects the problem?

    Thanks!

    Seems that the software (executable) included in the zip file attached to this post

    http://community.ti.com/forums/t/3679.aspx

    solves the issue. It should be based on a compiled version of the perl scripts, although I don't know on which version it is based upon

    I had the same problem. This warnings disappeared when I select option "Project -> Build Options -> Linker -> Advanced -> Strip Symbolic Information" (Linker option -s).

    Hi,

    I had the same issue, due to the XLMin function that convert XML file in perl format.

    I resolved it calling the perl script disabling warnings with -X option.

     

    From dos prompt (remembering the .pl extension):

    perl -X genAIS.pl ... 

    Bye
