Tool/software:

We are using C:\TI\ccsv5\tools\compiler\c6000_7.4.1 and planning to move to v8.3.1 

It is old code base. Will it breakward compatibility?What all things to be considered before making such upgrade,

    Please start by reading the article Compiler Version Numbers and What They Mean.  That will give a general sense of the difference between releases, just based on the version number.

    I presume you do not use the older COFF ABI (--abi=coffabi).  If you do, then you cannot upgrade past version 7.4.24. The version 7.4.x compilers are the last ones to support COFF ABI.  

    Review the release notes for the compilers since version 7.4.1.  You don't have to read all of them, just the few I point out here.  Please visit the C6000 compiler home page.  Click on Download options  Then click on View all versions.  Click on a version number, then Release notes.  View the release notes for these versions:

    • 7.4.24
    • 8.0.4
    • 8.1.8
    • 8.2.10
    • 8.3.13

    That shows you what changes have occurred in the compiler over the years.

    Thanks and regards,
