CCS 6 MSP430: INTERNAL ERROR!: ILCDNext defined differently in each pass

Ilias Chrisocheris

I guess that this is a message for Code Composer Studio developpers...

The version of CCS6 I use is "Version: 6.0.1.00040" in Linux

I try to make a code that communicates with an LCD module, RTC, Sensors, PC e.t.c. I'm still on the part that I build the code that drives the LCD. Today, unfortunately I end up with a message that there may be a serious problem on the compiler... I quote the output of the compilation:

This may be a serious problem.  Please contact customer support with a
description of the problem and a sample of the sourcefile that caused this
message to appear.

Hi,

Is this code compatible with MSP430 & its compiler? Have you referred the number of sample libraries available for different LCDs?

Regards,
Gautam

Did you look at it? Of course it is!

You have hit a bug in the MSP430 compiler (typically any sort of Internal Error generated by the compiler tools would be a bug). I can reproduce this with CCS 6.0.1 as well as the latest version of MSP430 compiler available - 4.4.2. I will file a bug report against the compiler tools and then post the bug number here so you can use it for tracking purposes.

Thank you very much for your time. I'll stay connected to the bug report... :)

The heart of the problem is that you've got the symbol DEFFONT defined as "DEFFONT .equ FONT_SMALL", but the definition of FONT_SMALL comes later. Swap the relative order of these two definitions and the symptom will go away. Still, the assembler should not emit an internal error in this case, so this is still a bug.
