TMS320C6655: Null Pointers.

Part Number: TMS320C6655

Hi Team, 

We are hoping you could help us with our customer's inquiry.

"I am using pdk 2.0.10, There is an issue with the NULL pointer range during the software reliability test.

Other systems use 0 to 4096 as the system zero page, so the range of NULL pointers is 4096. What is the range of NULL pointers in C6655?"

Hoping for your kind response.

Thank you very much.

  • Mark,

    I am not sure that I understand the question that you have posted. What does the software reliability test look like ?

    Besides all memory addresses values, the compiler defines one additional value called NULL that a pointer can hold. A null value means the pointer is not pointing at anything. There is no range associate with this value. Is this a C6000 compiler specific question of how it handles NULL values as there is nothing specific to C6655 implementation that the compiler does differently.

    Please ask the customer to provide clarification on the question or share the software reliability test if possible.

    Regards,

    Rahul
