error: option --optimize_with_debug is missing its parameter 'on,off

Terry,

I can't seem to reproduce this. Is this a project created with CCSv5.1 that you are building in 5.2? Could you zip up and attach the project that generates this error?

Sorry, I cannot send you a copy of my project, but I can provide the compiler error output generated by CCSv5.2.0 and the good compile output generated by CCSv5.1.0.

What I can tell you of the project is that in CCSv5.1.0, I had to compile with optimization set to 4 and with size being a concern.

My output generated object size is at 0x3AA

I've re-created the project from grace from scratch in the CCSv5.2.0 version and had a co-worker watch me to make sure I configured both project the same way.

Here's the good version generated by CCSv5.1.0:

Terry,

I've been able to reproduce this issue. The key is that it has to be a Grace (RTSC) project and with optimization set to -o4. We are investigating further into the root cause of the error and will update this thread when we have more information.

Terry, we're looking further into the issue.

I'm wondering if you can back off to (--opt_level=3) as a work-around for now?

I can partially reproduce this problem in the following way:

  The argument to the --optimize_with_debug [on|off] option was added in the 4.1.0 release; prior to that the option did not take an argument.  If the final link includes link time optimization and the --optimizae_with_debug option and links with any object files compiled with a compiler version before 4.1.0 and which used the --optimize_with_debug option, this can be the result.  Link time optimization uses the original compilation options for each object file to determine a new combined option set for use during the link time optimization, and it seems to be missing the argument addition when merging them.

Try recompiling any object files not already being compiled during the build shown (for example, included from any of the command files or libraries specified within the command files).

I am trying to determine if this is a known issue or a bug.

Hi Wolf

Our code size is hitting the max end on the G2153, so I'm relying on the -O4 optimization to size to get my code to fit.  Our fallback is to just continue to use  CCSv5.1.1

I am not sure how to re-build the full toolchain that was provided by the CCSv5.2.0 to verify that all provided objects meet the 4.1.0 release level.  Is there an app note somewhere that provides direction on this?

Thanks
