Section 3.8.5 Predefined Symbolic Constants

In the predefined symbols table, these 3 symbols incorrectly contain 2 underscores and the end of the macros. The correct symbol names are:

• __TI_ARM7ABI_ASSEMBLER
• __TI_ARM9ABI_ASSEMBLER
• __TI_EABI_ASSEMBLER

Section 4.11 Directives Reference

.cdecls Share C Headers Between C and Assembly Code

In the example on page 79 listing an assembly source file using the .cdecls directive, there is an assembler syntax error on on this line:

.if $defined(WANT_ID)

The correct syntax for this line is:

.if $$defined(WANT_ID)

Section 7.8.8 Allocating an Archive Member to an Output Section

The syntax for allocating archived library members specifically inside of a SECTIONS directive is not correct in the documentation. The ONLY syntax allowed is:

[-l] library name <member1, member2, ...> [(input sections0}

As an example:

.rtstry > RAM
{
   -lrtsXX.lib (.text)
}
