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

Please take note of the following problem in using the M3T-NC308WA and M3T-NC30WA C-compiler packages:
  • On nesting inline functions


  1. Products and Versions Concerned
    The C-compiler package for the M32C/80 and M16C/80 series:
      M3T-NC308WA V.5.00 Release 1 through V.5.20 Release 1

    The C-compiler package for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/Tiny, M16C/20, M16C/10, and R8C/Tiny series:
      M3T-NC30WA V.5.10 Release 1 through V.5.30 Release 1


  2. Description
    When an inline function that takes a parameter is nested, it may refer to an incorrect argument (a variable, not an argument).


  3. Conditions
    This problem occurs if the following conditions are both satisfied:
    (1)An inline function is nested in another.
    (2) Inline function A as a calling source and inline function B as the destination take the same parameter.
    Example
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
     inline B(int aaa, char ccc)         /* Condition (2) */
     {
            .....
     }
     inline A(int c, int aaa, char *ccc)   /* Condition (2) */
     {
     int  i;
     char c;
           B(i,c);                    /* Condition (1) */
     }
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  4. Workaround
    This problem can be circumvented any of the following ways:
    (1)Change the name of the parameter taken by the destination function
    (inline function B in the above example).
    (2)Don't nest any inline function.
    (3) Compile the program using the -Oforward_function_to_inline(-OFFTI) option.
    (This option can be used on M3T-NC308WA V.5.20 Release 1 and M3T-NC30WA V.5.30 Release 1 only.)


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