Compiler/MSP432P401R: Will Upgrading the compiler allow MSP432 operation in CCS 5.4

Part Number: MSP432P401R

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

I have an elaborate nightly compile using CCS 5.4.0.00091

I found the following guides:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Installation_and_Selection  (this particularly goes over my exact scenario in the overview)

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Updates

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Updating_CCSv5

However, is there any show stoppers that you see for the MSP432P401R using 5.4 and some upgraded compiler?

Which Compiler would you recommend I try and upgrade to?

Thanks!

    It depends on the purpose of your upgrade.  The wiki article Compiler Version Numbers and What They Mean can help you decide.

    However, that article does not discuss compatibility with CCS.  CCS and TI compilers are released on independent schedules.  CCS is tested with compilers that are released in a similar time frame.  The compiler interface changes slowly.  So, it is likely that a compiler and CCS that are released farther apart in time will continue to integrate well together.  At some undefined point, though, problems start to surface.  The farther apart in time the releases, the more likely a problem may occur.  All that said, most combinations actually tried by most users tend to work well.

    Thanks and regards,
