Compiler/MSP430F5342: Compiler not allocating space for static variable

jkresse

Part Number: MSP430F5342

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I'm using Compiler version TI v16.9.7.LTS for compatibility reasons; I don't know if I can upgrade to a later version.

In one file, I have declared 5 static variables at file scope. Only space is being allocated for 4 of the variables. If I change the order of the declarations, a different set of the 4 (out of the 5) variables are allocated.

I have tried a number of workarounds (such as changing the order of the declarations, adding more static variables, etc.), but I have not yet found a workaround.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance!

Tomasz Kocon is correct. To understand what happened, we need a test case which allows us to reproduce it. Please submit a test case as described in the article How to Submit a Compiler Test Case.

Thanks and regards,

Since it has been a while, I presume you have resolved the problem. I'd appreciate hearing how you resolved it.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,

No I have not resolved the problem; just found a workaround (when I pushed some of the static variables down from to file level to inside a function, the correct space was allocated).

I am in the midst of a project that's overdue, so I cannot produce a simple test case for you at this time.

If you need to close this now, I will reopen it if/when I can produce a simple test case for you.
