CCS: 64 bit for MacOS

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

I keep getting the 64bit nanny warnings in Mojave.

Can I assume that CCS 9 will be 64 bit? And that we will no longer be able to run 8.3 and lower in the next MacOS?

    Keith,

    CCSv8 is mostly 64bit.  The installer and the compiler are still 32bit.  For CCSv9 it will be all 64bit.

    Here is a screen shot from system information.  The selected item is CCSv8.3.0.  Not sure where the 4.4 version info is coming from.  So you can see that MacOS is recognizing it as a 64bit application.

    With the next MacOS release Apple has implied that 32bit applications will no longer run.  So you should be able to run CCSv8.3 but to do a build you would have to update to the new compiler that is a 64bit application.  The safe bet would be to use CCSv9, and if you have to update the compiler anyway you might as well move to the latest IDE.

    Regards,

    John

    Thanks, I knew most of it was 64 bit, since I only get the dialog occasionally. I just wanted to know the path forward. Sorry about confusing CCS with the compiler. I know it is a big deal to you guys, but from my end I see it all as CCS. 8^)

    No problem. The whole thing together is "Code Composer Studio". Technically you could even be using GCC with your projects. The GCC that we are bundling is 64bit so that will be ok.

    The biggest challenge will be people who have a project locked in with an older compiler. They will need to make sure to not upgrade MacOS.
