A Note on Using C-Compiler Packages
M3T-NC308WA and M3T-NC30WA

Please take tone of the following problem in using the M3T-NC308WA and M3T-NC30WA C-compiler packages:
  • On an inline function that returns a value of type _Bool


  1. Products and Versions Concerned
    (1)C Compiler packages for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/Tiny, M16C/20, M16C/10, and R8C/Tiny series of MCUs
      M3T-NC30WA V.5.10 Release 1 through V.5.30 Release 1
    (2)C Compiler packages for the M32C/80, and M16C/80 series of MCUs
      M3T-NC308WA V.5.00 Release 1 through V.5.20 Release 1


  2. Description
    If a source file is compiled in which an inline function that returns a value of type _Bool is called, a system error will arise.

    2.1 Conditions
    This problem occurs if the following conditions are all satisfied:
    (1)An inline function that returns a value of type _Bool is declared.
    (2)After this definition, the above inline function is called.
    (3)Option -Oforward_function_to_inline(-OFFTI) is not used at compilation.

    2.2 Example
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    inline _Bool sub(void)      // Condition (1)
    {
      return 1;
    }
    
    void func(void)
    {
      _Bool ret;
      ret=sub();                // Condition (2)
    }
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. Workaround
    This problem can be circumvented in any of the following ways:
    (1)Use the -OFFTI option at compilation.
    (2)Declare no inline function having a return value of type _Bool.
    (3)Define the return value of the inline function as of type other than _Bool.


  4. Schedule of Fixing the Problem
    We plan to fix this problem in our next release of the products.
