Impaled with a golf tee!

In CCS5 if I change a build property of a source file, for example optimisation level, then in project explorer the icon next to the file name becomes impaled by a golf tee. If I set the optimisation level back the golf tee is still there. If I restore defaults then the golf tee is still there.

(A) How do I get rid of the golf tee?

(B) How do I find out which of the many properties may not set at project default?

    It will appear highlighted in bold:

    Note that if you do not see the item in bold, then you are probably using an older version of v5.

    Thanks

  • Ki,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It does not highlight the changes so I updated CCS via <help><check for updates>. However part way through it came up with the error "Cannot import C:...\compiler.reg..." which I had during the initial install. This was discussed in the forum with no resolution of how to stop this error message. After this error it immediately came up with another message & bombed out, so my update state is now undefined.....

    Presently it says I am on version 5.2.0.00069 so is this the latest ?

    The non-default properties are not highlighted as you show?

    Which of the many manifest files tells which properties have been changed?

  • Roger,

    You will need 5.2.1.00018. That is the latest version (besides the 5.3.0 beta that is out) and the version that has the highlighting support.

    It looks like there is a failure installing a compiler update. You can try disabling the compiler update for now and just that the CCS 5.2.1 IDE update

  • Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.

    However now CCS shows the version as 5.2.0.00069 which apparently is not the latest version. But "Check for Update" says "no updates found". Maybe because the previous update failed part way through because of the C compiler update failure then it thinks it is updated when it is not. It does not highlight difference in build settings which was the original issue on this post.

    So questions are:
    (A) How can I make it do an update?
    (B) Can that compiler update failure be fixed, as others have also seen this and it is causing unnecessary problems?
