C6000 compiler release notes

Hi,

I've been searching for a while, but couldn't find any release notes or changelog information about the various C6000 compiler versions. In particular I need to find out, in which compiler version the type "__int40_t" was introduced. It appears to be available in v7.3, but not in v6.1. What about the versions in between?

Best regards,

Georg

    The keyword __int40_t is introduced in version 7.2.0.  Prior to that, the built-in type names int40_t and uint40_t are available, and continue to be available.  The best place for information on __int40_t is the C6000 compiler manual.  Though there is not a section of the manual dedicated to that one keyword, a search on __int40_t brings the information together.

    Thanks and regards,

    -George

    Thank you George. I did check the compiler manuals for versions 6.1, 7.0 and 7.3. In the latter, __int40_t is mentioned, in the former two not. However, none of them mentiones "int40_t". Instead the 40 bit integers are simply "long". So I will use the following code to define a generally valid type "int_least40_t":

    #ifdef _TMS320C6X
#if __TI_COMPILER_VERSION__ >= 7002000
typedef __int40_t int_least40_t;
typedef unsigned __int40_t uint_least40_t;
#else
typedef long int_least40_t;
typedef unsigned long uint_least40_t;
#endif
#else
typedef int64_t  int_least40_t;
typedef uint64_t uint_least40_t;
#endif
#endif

    BR, Georg

    As far back as 6.1.0, the C6000 compiler supported stdint.h, which defines these types. Perhaps you could use that instead?

    Don't define your own.  Use the one supplied by the compiler in the standard header file stdint.h.

    Thanks and regards,

    I agree of course, using stdint.h would be the better solution. Unfortunately I'm dealing with legacy code here, and I have to get it to work with the least possible amount of changes. Introducing a new header file would conflict with several things in this hairy beast of code. I'd like to avoid that.

    Nevertheless, thanks all for help!
