CCSv6 Beta 4 .gel problem with ternary operators

Ralf Goebel

Hello,

there seems to be a new problem with ternary operators in .gel files with CCSv6 Beta 4.
Example:

MAX(a, b)
{
    return a>b?a:b;
}

C66xx_0: GEL: Error while executing OnFileLoaded( 0, 0): condition does not evaluate to a value...

I worked around this problem by using if-else.

Hi Ralf,

That example actually works for me in CCSv6 beta 4. Are you getting the error when loading the GEL file?

Thanks

Hi ki,

I get this error when loading a program to the target. This function gets called within OnFileLoaded() in my .gel file.

Can you provide the GEL?

Thanks

My GEL file needs a prepared program file with specific symbols to work.

But here is a simple example of OnFileLoaded() which should show the error:

OnFileLoaded()
{
    unsigned int size = 2345214;
    unsigned int mapSize = MAX(size, 4096);
}

Thanks Ralf. I found some really bizarre behavior.

First off, if "size" is greater that 4096, then the error occurs. No issues for values below it.

However, if you hardcode the value 2345214 into the call to MAX

ex:

MAX(2345214, 4096);

Then it works fine. I don't know why this is. Need to investigate this further. I checked that the value being passed to MAX is identical.

Very strange.
