Compiler: Should use newer standard libraries?

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I have a DSP and ARM projects (for the OMAPL138) compiled with Code Composer IDE v5 and we got them imported into Code Composer IDE v8. Regarding the Standard Libraries, should we also upgrade the projects to use the latest std libraries provided with CCS v8?

Thanks,

Jose

    As a general rule of thumb, the longer the time between releases of the components you combine together, the more likely it is problems will occur.

    Consider just two components: CCS and the compiler.  CCS is tested with the latest compilers available at the time of release.  It is not tested with older compilers.  And when newer compilers are released, they are not tested with older releases of CCS.  Even so, customers combine older compilers with newer CCS on a routine basis, and are mostly successful.

    So, with all that in mind, the general answer to this question ...

    ... is yes.  But, so long as it is practical, try to upgrade one component at a time.  That makes it easier to work out any problems that may occur.

    Thanks and regards,
