Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hi team,
a customer needs to validate our compiler and has a couple of questions concerning known bugs:
"I have been entrusted with the task of validating the TI compiler that we currently use with CCS 8 (ti-cgt-msp430_18.1.4.LTS). According to our guidelines we have to validate the tools used for our product development. Especially for the used compilers it is necessary to consult the corresponding bugtracking databases. I came across this information in the TI Wiki: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Compiler_Defects_Database#
There, reference is made to an SDO web portal (Rational Clearquest). There I find the public query MSP430 Compiler Known Issues:
However, I am not 100% sure how to interpret the search results.
Example 1: CODEGEN-4329 lists both the smaller version number MSP430_18.1.0.LTS and the larger version number MSP430_18.12.0.LTS:
Can I assume that the version I used, msp430_18.1.4.LTS
a) does not contain the bug because it is not listed, or
b) also contains the bug because it is between the listed versions?
2) In the MSP430 Compiler Known Issues query list, version MSP430_18.1.4.LTS is found only once, in CODEGEN-6070. Does this mean that this version has only one open bug?
My CCS8 installation also provides MSP430_18.1.3.LTS. This one is not mentioned at all in the query MSP430 Compiler Known Issues. Does this mean that this version doesn't have a single open bug at all? Really?"
