C Compiler Package for RL78 Family [CC-RL] V1.14.00
For details of updates and points for caution on the compiler, refer to the release note for the compiler.
1.2 Enhanced support for GHS compilers [RH850]
Support for the following versions of the RH850 compiler from GHS has been added.
• 2023.5.4
2. Added or Improved functionalities of the build tool
2.1 Addition of a feature to group messages for each source file or target file in parallel build [RL78][RH850][RX]
When parallel build is selected and building proceeds, the commands are executed in parallel,
so output messages for errors or warnings were being displayed mixed with those of other commands.
To improve this, a feature has been added so that the output messages of the following commands are displayed together for each command.
- Compiler commands in each source file
- Assembler commands in each source file
- Commands for the library generator
To enable this feature, select [Yes] for the [Group messages by each source file/target in the parallel build]
property under the [Build Method] category on the [Common Options] tabbed page.
If this feature is enabled, a message will not be displayed in real-time; it will be displayed at the end of
the execution of each command.
Remark Even if this feature is enabled, messages are not grouped if [Enable parallel build among projects]
in the [General – Build] category is selected in the Option dialog box.
2.2 Addition of a property for the -E option of FAA Structured Assembler [RL78]
The [Output result of preprocessing to file] property for specifying the -E option of FAA Structured Assembler
has been added to the [FAA Assemble Options] tabbed page.
2.3 Improvement to a property for the -Oinline/-Oinline_level compiler option [RL78][RH850]
The following options have been added to those available for the [Perform inline expansion] property under the
[Optimization (Details)] category on the [Compile Options] tabbed page. If you select the one that is applicable to
the compiler in use, the compiler will optimize inline expansion at the maximum rate of increase that suits
the optimization level.
- CC-RH: [Yes(Auto-detect, maximum increasing rate : to adjust the level of optimization)(-Oinline=2)]
- CC-RL: [Yes(Auto-detect, maximum increasing rate : to adjust the level of optimization)(-Oinline_level=2)]
In response to this, the previous names of other available options have been changed as follows.
- CC-RH: [Yes(Auto-detect)(-Oinline=2)] → [Yes(Auto-detect, to specify maximum increasing rate)(-Oinline=2 -Oinline_size)]
- CC-RL: [es(Auto-detect)(-Oinline_level=2)] → [Yes(Auto-detect, to specify maximum increasing rate)(-Oinline_level=2 -Oinline_size)]
2.4 Improvement to the property for the -dpfpu option during creation of an application project for the RTOS [RX]
When one of the following items is selected in [Kind of project] in the creation of a project specified for an RXv3 device,
the default value of the [Uses double-precision floating-point operation instructions] property under the [CPU] category
on the [Common Options] tabbed page has been changed to [No].
- Application(RI600V4,CC-RX)
- Application(RI600PX,CC-RX)
Remark RI600V4 and RI600PX do not guarantee the operation of double-precision floating-point operation instructions
in multiple tasks.
2.5 Improvement to the output of the -nobank option [RX]
When an option other than -isa=rxv3 was specified for a device having the register bank save function,
the -asmopt=-nobank option for the compiler and the -nobank option for the assembler had previously not been output.
This problem has been rectified.
Remark Specification of -isa=rxv3 is recommended for a device having the register bank save function.
2.6 Improvement to the property for the -SHow linker option [RH850][RL78][RX]
Default values for properties when a new project is created have been changed as follows.
In the [List] category on the [Link Options] tabbed page,
- CC-RH / CC-RL
* [Output symbol information] property: [No] → [Yes(-SHow=SYmbol)]
* [Output total sizes of sections] property: [No] → [Yes(-SHow=Total_size)]
- CC-RX
* [Outputs a symbol name list in a module] property: [No] → [Yes (-SHow=SYmbol)]
* [Shows the total sizes of sections] property: [No] → [Yes (-SHow=Total_size)]

RL78/G15, RL78/G22, RL78/G16 and RL78/G24
The peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR) can be manipulated by a program or debugger operations to re-assign specific multiplexed pin functions
to alternative port pins. However, changing the assignment of serial interface functions to port pins had previously disabled normal connections
through the [Serial] window or the serial communication component of the [Virtual Board] panel. This has been rectified so that such connections
are enabled by setting port pins changed by peripheral I/O redirection register (PIOR) in the [Serial] window or the serial communication component.

Support for the following versions of the RH850 compiler from GHS has been added.
- 2021.1.5
2.2 Improved format of subcommand files for the linkage editor
The line-feed code had previously been used as the line separator in sub-command files. This has been changed to CR+LF.
A sub-command file is automatically created by CS+ upon building and is for use with the -subcommand option of the linkage editor
of the CC-RL, CC-RH, or CC-RX compiler.
This change allows you to specify the -subcommand option for the [Other additional options] property on the [Link Options]
and [Hex Output Options] tabbed pages.
2.3 Updating dependencies of source files added after building
When the [Use compiler for updating dependencies to increase analysis accuracy than analysis speed when the functionality is available] option
is enabled for the [General – Build] category in the [Option] dialog box, file dependencies are updated at the time of building
after a source file has been added to the project tree. If no changes are found in the newly added source code, the file will not be recompiled.
2.4 Improved noticing of compiler version changes
To assist in the use of fixed compiler versions, expanded the conditions for displaying messages when there is a change
in the version of the compiler package used for the build.
3. Additions and improvements to the debug tool

Support for the simulation of peripheral modules and current drawn has been extended to further products.
This enables the simulation of peripheral modules and current drawn for those products in only a virtual environment on a PC,
i.e. without having to connect CS+ to the actual MCU (on a board).
The following MCU group is newly supported for the simulation of current drawn.
- RL78/G23
Note: The simulation of current drawn is available with some devices of the RL78/G23 group.
3.3 Addition of types of components supported on the [Virtual Board] panel [RL78]

1.4 Improved handling of section settings after the MCU has been changed
Handling of the inheritance of section settings when the MCU is changed, a project for the e2 studio is converted to one for CS+,
or the reuse of the file structure of an existing project in creating a new project, with the result of the microcontroller name
for the new device being such that the ROM size differs from that of the device which was previously selected,
and the section settings had been customized in the original project, has been improved.
Before the improvement: The section settings were initialized according to the microcontroller name of the new device following the change.
After the improvement: The section settings which had been customized before the change of device are inherited.
Note that some addresses in the section settings are converted to those for the microcontroller name of the selected device.
1.5 Improved the link order after converting a project from e2 studio
When converting a project from e2 studio as follows, the link order of the intermediate file (*.obj file) has been improved

The values set for the [Conversion Factor] and [Conversion Offset] properties of the temperature sensor on the [Virtual Board] panel
are used in converting the temperature to the corresponding voltage. The behavior when a result of conversion thus obtained is
out of the input range of values for the connected pin has been improved so that the voltage is automatically corrected.
The converted value is corrected to be the minimum value within the input range if it is less than the minimum voltage
and to be the maximum value if it is greater than the maximum voltage.
2.10 Improvement to the operation in response to the properties of the 8x8-segment LCD for use with the on-chip driver on the [Virtual Board] panel [RL78]
Applies to: Simulator for RL78/L12
While the input screen is being displayed during editing of the COM/SEG signal properties of the 8x8-segment LCD for use

Changes from V5.00.00 to V6.00.00 (Jul. 20, 2017)
1. Improvement of CS+ for CC functionality
1.1 Support for a new emulator
CS+ now supports the following new emulator.
You can now use this emulator in combination with CS+ to develop programs for the given types of target MCU.
- E2 emulator (for RL78 devices)
1.2 Support for Windows
From V6.00.00, CS+ no longer supports Windows Vista.
1.3 Providing new solutions
While retaining the basic features of the development environment, CS+ also provides useful solutions
that will aid various aspects of development at a level closer to your applications.
The following features are available in V6.00.00 and are easily accessible from the [Solution List] panel.
- Measuring CAN bus reception processing times (for RH850, E2 emulator)
Response times are important for CAN communications. This facility makes measuring response times easy.
A program can also be stopped if the time is not within the allowable range.
You can also check trace data and the history of CAN communications after the program has been stopped.
This will help you identify problems in the early stages of development.
- Measuring current consumption (for RL78, E2 emulator)
This facility allows you to measure current drawn by a system easily without using an ammeter.
Simply specify the conditions and stop the program when excessive current is detected.
You can also use measurement points, in a similar manner to the setting of breakpoints,
to monitor the relationship between the behavior of the program and values for current.
This will shorten times required for the current-tuning process.
- Smart manual (for RL78, RX)
The Smart Manual allows you to quickly view information on any register listed in panels such as the Editor and SFR/IOR.
You can read descriptions of a desired register or specific pages of the hardware manual via the [Smart Manual] panel.
1.4 Addition of announcements feature on Smart browser

on the Plug-in Manager dialog box are loaded.
When CS+ is installed and started for the first time, it operates in this default state.
1.6 Support for use of the C source code converter in creating projects (for RL78)
This improvement reduces the amount of work required to convert projects created by using CS+ for CA, CX
with the CA78K0 compiler to projects for use with CC-RL.
In creating projects, you can utilize the configuration of existing CA78K0 project files.
Since this process converts the C source files to suit CC-RL, shifting from CA78K0 to CC-RL is simple.
Note, however, that assembler instructions and device-dependent statements, such as those related to
the memory map and SFRs, are not converted. Alter such statements by hand to suit the target RL78 device.
1.7 Support for use of the C source code converter in opening PM+ projects(for RL78)
This improvement reduces the amount of work required to convert 78K0 projects created by using PM+
to projects for use with CC-RL.
Since CS+ for CC is capable of loading 78K0 projects and converting them along with the C source files to suit CC-RL,
shifting from CC78K0 to CC-RL is simple.
Note, however, that assembler instructions and device-dependent statements, such as those related to
the memory map and SFRs, are not converted. Alter such statements by hand to suit the target RL78 device.

This facility requires the installations of stand-alone SC V1.02 or later.
4. Improvements to the debug tool
4.1 Enhanced highlighting of the current PC line in the Editor panel
The highlighting function of the current PC line in the Editor panel has been enhanced in case
that there are multiple source files with the same name in the load module.
But when relative path information on a load module and path information on a project tree aren't identical,
there is a case that the highlighting in the PC line isn't performed.
For example, the project being debugged was created in another folder or on another computer.
In this case, select the [Do not distinguish source files with the same file name by the relative path] checkbox
under the [Debug] category in the [Option] dialog box.
4.2 Fix of break setting to the assembler source
The following caution has been fixed.
- A break can't be set as an assembler source.

is being used
(for RL78, E1 emulator, E2 emulator Lite, E20 emulator)
The following caution has been fixed.
- If a program is stopped with all the following conditions satisfied while the CPU clock is operating as a high-speed system clock,
low-speed on-chip oscillator clock, or subsystem clock, a communications error occurs between the emulator and MCU.
Subsequently, the debugging tool no longer operates correctly.
- Condition 1: The middle-speed on-chip oscillator clock is selected as the main on-chip oscillator clock.
(Bit 0 (MCM1) in the system clock control register (CKC) of the MCU is set to 1.)
- Condition 2: The middle-speed on-chip oscillator clock is stopped.
(Bit 1 (MIOEN) in the clock operation status control register (CSC) of the MCU is set to 0.)

V4.01.00 supports checking of whether any functions modify memory values from out of specified code (e.g. a range in which
interrupts are enabled) even when the actual MCU (on a board) is not connected. That is, the facility of checking for
exclusive control is now also applicable with the simulator.
3.3 Using an on-chip debugging emulator while the sub-system clock of certain RL78 family products is operating (for RL78)
The following caution was raised.
After the setting "System" is made for [Monitor clock] in [Clock] on the [Connect Settings] tab of the property panel of
the debugging tool, a communications error may arise between the emulator and MCU so that the debugging tool does not
operate correctly when a program is stopped while the sub-system clock is operating.
3.4 Added of the version of the GHS compiler it becomes possible to download. (for RH850)
The version of the GHS compiler it becomes possible to download in CS+ was added.

3.5 Changes to trace of E1/E20 emulator (for RH850)
As it is written in a user's manual:hardware of the microcontroller, the microcomputer a trace memory mounts can acquire
tracing, and the microcomputer on which a trace memory isn't mounted can't acquire tracing.
3.6 Added select of PiggyBack board of RH850/P1M group (for RH850)
Available to select of PiggyBack board at the time of debugging of RH850/P1M group.
3.7 Removal of the note on setting of [Trace data type] when using an E1 or E20 emulator to debug RX71M series products. (for RX)
The following caution was raised.
- Only tracing of the "branch" type can be obtained, even if the debug tool is connected after selecting either of
the below settings for debugging an RX71M series product in CS+.

Changes from V3.03.00 to V4.00.00 (Apr. 20, 2016)
1. Improvement of CS+ for CC functionality
1.1 Support for Windows
V4.00.00 of CS+ for CC does not support Windows 8.
If you wish to continue using CS+, please consider upgrading OS from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
1.2 Version of the .NET Framework
We have changed the version of the .NET Framework (from Microsoft) with which CS+ is supposed to run.
Before: Microsoft .NET Framework 4
Now: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2
1.3 Providing new solutions
From V4.00.00, while retaining the basic features of the development environment, CS+ also provides useful solutions
that will aid various aspects of development at a level closer to your applications. The following features are available
in V4.00.00 and are easily accessible from the [Solution List] panel.
- Pseudo-Error Debugging (for RH850)
This feature is provided for generating pseudo-errors to check the response to errors which are difficult to reproduce
on the real machine. You can use this feature to check the operation of a reset routine or a handler called in response
to an error, or of functions to be called from within a handler, and debug the code as required.
- Debugging CAN Bus Reception Procedures (for RH850)
This feature is provided for facilitating debugging of the reception procedure of a channel by using the inter-channel
communications facility of the RS-CAN module to continuously transmit frames over the CAN bus to a desired channel.
- Exclusive Control Check Tool (for RH850)
This tool is used to check whether any functions access variables outside the exclusive control period.
(This function requests C Compiler package for RH850 Family CC-RH more than V1.04.00.)
1.4 Addition of a facility for comparing performance in optimization
We have added a new facility for measuring and comparing the ROM size or execution speed in cases where size or speed is
given priority in optimization by the build tool.
You can determine which build options should be used according to the results of comparison, which will depend on whether
size or speed has priority in optimization.
1.5 Addition of a table of access by functions to variables
A newly added orthogonal table shows how many times each variable was accessed (read or written) by each function.
You can use this table to find out, for example, if flag variables are being accessed correctly or if a specific pair of
variables are being accessed together.
1.6 Enhanced [Error List] panel
The [Error List] panel is now capable of displaying messages related to MISRA-C rule checking output by the compiler.
You can now simply view errors, warnings, and MISRA-C rule messages in a single panel.
1.7 Improved [Detail Version Information] dialog box
We have revised the format for display of the version information on the plug-in under [Build Tool Information]
in the [Detail Version Information] dialog box.
Before Build Tool Information
* <tool name>
*Version
<version number>
* Version of the compiler package:
<version number>
Now Build Tool Information
* <tool name>
* Version of the plug-in(*.dll)
<version number>
* Version of the compiler package:
<version number>
1.8 Addition of a CS+ command-line option
We have added the /cve option to the set of options available when running CS+ from a command line (e.g., the command prompt
of Windows).
This option is used to output a common project file (*.rcpe).
This means that you can create a common project file without opening the main window of CS+.
The common project file (*.rcpe) is a project file that can be output by CS+ and loaded by the e2 studio,
which supports this file format.
Use the import function of the e2 studio to load the common project file (*.rcpe).
2. Additions to the build tool
2.1 Applying build options to multiple source files
You can now select a category and set build options which will be applied to all source files in the selected category.
In this way, you can easily set up build options for multiple files without manually selecting all required source files.
2.2 Removal of the note on using Batch Build
The following caution was raised.
- Batch building is a feature for building with the use of multiple build modes.
An error might be indicated even though each build was successful.
If each build has been successful, this error does not affect the output object code.
2.3 Removal of the note on using CC-RH
The following caution was raised.
- The problem that the contents designated by the [Output error message file], [Error message file output folder] and
[Error message file name] from the [Individual Compile Options] tab in the [Error Output] category
in less than CS+ V3.02.00 are returned to default when the project is opened in V3.02.00 or later.
2.4 Addition of new functionality to verify exception handlers for RH850G3M
When the CC-RH compiler outputs a Motorola S-record file, the confirmation process whether SYNCP instructions are placed
appropriately to exception handlers is executed. See "RH850G3M User's Manual:Software" (Rev.1.10 or later) for the detail
of insertion of SYNCP instructions to exception handlers.
The meaning of the resulting message is the following:
- OK : SYNCP instruction are placed appropriately or is not necessary.
- NG : SYNCP instruction may not be placed appropriately.
- Warning : Cannot determine automatically.
Note: These are not displayed in the Error List panel. Please check Output panel.
If one or more “NG” or “Warning” are included, check the source code at the entry of the exception handler.
The output file is generated regardless of the message.
To suppress this functionality, select the [Hex Output Options] tab on the CC-RH Property panel,
and set the [Confirm that SYNCP is inserted at entry of exception handler] property in the [Others] category.
3. Additions to the debug tool
3.1 Support for simulation of peripheral modules in the RL78/G13 (for RL78)
Simulation of peripheral modules in the RL78/13 is now supported.
You can check the operation of the MCU without connecting the actual MCU (on the board).

3.3 Support for software break in RAM (for RH850)
The software break function to the RAM space was added in RH850. Program stop setting in RAM space became possible
even 2000 points.
3.4 Removal of point for caution when printing the contents of the Disassemble panel
The following caution was raised.
When printing the contents of the Disassemble panel, the last line of the first page may not be printed.
3.5 Removal of the value of the time display (clock) in the trace panel (for RH850)
The following caution was raised.
The "Time (clock)" area of the Trace panel is intended to indicate the differences between the times taken up to instruction
execution in each frame or generation of memory access cause. The indicated number is sometimes much bigger than the number
in actual execution.
3.6 Improvements of the real-time display update function (for RL78)
It became possible to update / modify the display contents of the memory / watch - expression while executing the program.
Applies to:RL78/I1E

whether to reload the project files and subproject files.
This facility enables detection of a simultaneously opened project file being saved and its contents can be reflected.
1.3 Change to renaming of project files
The processing to change the names of project files and subproject files on the Project Tree panel has been changed.
(Before change) The file is duplicated at the timing the project information is saved.
(After change) The file name is changed at the timing the user changes the name.
1.4 Enhanced message dialog
When the [Record Screen] button is selected in the message dialog box,
a file recording the log of manipulations up to that point is newly saved.
This enables us to view the processing up to the point where the message was output,
and it will reduce the time we take to solve the problem.
1.5 Addition of the splash window
Tips are displayed in a splash window.
This allows tips to be referenced without closing the One Point Advice dialog box every time CS+ is started,
and it will reduce the time for learning how to manipulate CS+.
1.6 Addition of function Option dialog box (for building)
When there is a build error in a dependent project, the new facility allows building of that project to be skipped.
This reduces the time until correction of the build error starts.
1.7 Addition of the Full-screen display facility

4.2 Addition of the facility to jump to the Editor panel
A facility to jump to the Editor panel or external editor when a detailed memory mapping area item is selected has been added.
This reduces the time it takes to reference or change the source file after checking memory mapping areas.
4.3 Addition of the facility to change the memory mapping name
A facility to change the name of saved memory mapping areas (second or later in the display) displayed
in the list of memory mapping areas has been added.
This enables unique names to be used when saving multiple states. It is possible to make the kind of state saved understandable.
4.4 Enhanced facility for saving the file
When a detailed memory mapping area is saved in a file,
the name of a label or an item selected in the memory mapping list is output on the first line.
This makes it possible to identify what information was saved when the saved file is referenced.
5. Additions to the Debug Tool
5.1 Addition of the saving function in watch panel
The function of saving after expanding the watch data has been added.
By this function, when the watch expressions such as array, pointer type variables, structures / unions,
register (only those with the part name) can be expanded, the watch expressions are saved in expanded form even if not expanded display.
6. Fixing Problems with the debug tools
6.1 Removal of the note on using the CS+

- Statements in source code which form a deeply-nested block
For details of the problem, see RENESAS TOOL NEWS Document No.150416/tn2.
https://www.renesas.com/document/tnn/note-using-cs-integrated-development-environment
7. Additions to the I/O Header File Generation
7.1 Addition of a facility to customize the I/O header file (for RH850)
A facility to select modules which are output the I/O header file and to divide the I/O header file were added.
By selecting only necessary module, it is possible to reduce the I/O header file size.
By dividing the I/O header file, it is possible to reduce the compiling time.
7.2 Addition of output the I/O header file compatible with the MISRA-C:2004 rules (for RH850, RL78)
Outputs the I/O header file compatible with the following MISRA-C:2004 rules.
- Rule 6.3: typedefs that indicate size and signedness should be used in place of the basic types.
- Rule 6.4: Bit fields shall only be defined to be of type unsigned int or signed int. (int size IOR only)
- Rule 10.6: A "U" suffix shall be applied to all constants of unsigned type.
- Rule 18.4: Unions shall not be used.
When the same I/O registers allocated to the same address, output only the maximum access size IOR
because no union is output using this facility.
Outputs the bit field definition in beginning of the I/O header file regardless of using the facility.
This definition is checked as MISRA-C:2004 rules.
8. Additions to the analysis tool
8.1 Enhanced facility for enabling dynamic analysis
When using a facility that enables dynamic analysis,
the standard settings necessary for dynamic analysis are set up for the debugging facilities of the emulator or simulator.
This minimizes manipulations for making settings for dynamic analysis.
8.2 Enhanced function attribute in the Function List panel (for RL78)
The callt function in the RL78 family CC-RL compiler is now supported.
When a function is defined as a callt function, callt is displayed in the attribute on the Function List panel.
Since the functions defined as callt functions are obvious, using this information with the execution count information,
whether callt functions are specified efficiently can be checked and callt specification can be reviewed.
8.3 Addition of the time display in the Function List panel (for RH850)
Using the facility to analyze time information of trace data, the execution time, execution time in percentage,
and average execution time are shown on the Function List panel.
Information necessary when reviewing program tuning can be obtained by this facility.
8.4 Addition of the facility for display in clock-cycle units (for RH850)
Using the facility to analyze time information of trace data, time can also be displayed in clock-cycle units.
This makes the time information easier to read
because the display (in second units or clock-cycle units) can be switched according to your situation.
