Any issue using libraries built with C6000 codgenv7.0.0B with v7.0.1 or v7.0.2

Compiler team,

We have built several libraries using C6000 cgtools v7.0.0B and we would like to use those with the latest revision of the tools. Is there any problem with pulling these libraries into projects that build with cgtools v7.0.1 or v7.0.2?

  • Hi Ruben,

    If the code is tested and running, there is not a problem in "mixing" cgtools versions.

  • Hi Mariana,

    My 3P built a library using cgtools v7.2.4 and I and my customer are pulling it into projects that build with cgtools v6.1.19 for C64x+. Is this case also no problem? We have not seen any problems so far but want to know if major version difference is also no problem.

    Thanks and regards,
    Ken

  • Ken,

    In general, it is safest to use the latest version of the linker, and linking in libraries or object files built with older versions is ok. If the linker version is older than the library, there is a chance that the library may be built with options or features that were newly added for that version of CGT and the older linker may not be able to handle it. If that is not the case, as seems to be in your case, then I expect it should be ok.
