Compiler/TMS320F28377D: Why does the compiler warn"176-D expression has no effect "

Jack Jeff

Part Number: TMS320F28377D

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi,

I am using TMS320F28377D, and when I try to assign EPWMReg.CMPA, it will warn the assignment has no effect.

The warning is for Line 1548 "EPwm9Regs.CMPA.bit.CMPA = EPWM_period - 1000", and EPWM_period is a macro definition equal to 2500.

The warning shows:"#176-D expression has no effect".

I want to know what's wrong with the assignment. Thanks.

Hope for reply.

Hello Jack,
there is something going on that the compiler cannot see.
Defining EPwm9Regs as volatile should suppress this warning.
It is just my guessing.

I am unable to reproduce that diagnostic. For the source file which gets that diagnostic, please follow the directions in the article How to Submit a Compiler Test Case.

Thanks and regards,

Hi George,
Sorry for my late reply.
I have already figured out what's wrong , my colleague added a semicolon after the macro definition and that is the reason.
Thank you for your help.
