TMS470 Optimizing C/C++ Compiler Errata

From Texas Instruments Embedded Processors Wiki

Options Errata

--ppm

The Compiler User's Guide is missing information on the -ppm switch, used to generate a list of predefined and user defined macros. The details are:

-ppm[=filename]

Generate a list of predefined and user defined macros for the source file into the file <filename>.pp and then exit. Optionally, name the output file. The output will include only those files directly included by the source file. Also see the -ppa option to continue compilation after generating the macro list (similar to gcc).

This option became available starting with version 6.1.0.

--no_const_clink

The Compiler User's Guide is missing information about the --no_const_clink switch. This switch prevents the compiler from generating .clink directives (conditional linking) for const global arrays. By default, these arrays are placed in a .const subsection and conditionally linked.

Section 5.4.2 the interrupt Keyword

The Compiler User's Guide refers the reader to section 5.9.2 for more information on the INTERRUPT pragma. The correct section is 5.8.5

Section 5.4 Keywords

The TMS470 C/C++ compiler does not support the near and far keywords.
