A Note on Using the M3T-NC308WA and
M3T-NC30WA C-Compiler Packages
--On Evaluation of Members of a Structure
in the Controlling Expression of an If Statement--
|
|---|
Please take note of the following problem in using the M3T-NC308WA and
M3T-NC30WA C-compiler packages:
- On evaluation of members of a structure in the controlling expression of an if statement
- Products and Versions Concerned
M3T-NC308WA V.3.10 Release 1 through V.5.10 Release 1
(for the M32C/90, M32C/80 and M16C/80 series)
M3T-NC30WA V.5.00 Release 1 and V.5.10 Release 1
(for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/Tiny, M16C/20, M16C/10, and
R8C/Tiny series)
- Description
If two or more expressions testing equality or inequality between
a member of a structure and a constant exist in the controlling
expression of an if statement, incorrect code is generated.
- Conditions
This problem occurs if the following conditions are all satisfied:
| (1) | Two or more expressions testing equality or inequality between
a member of a structure and a constant exist in the controlling expression of an if statement. |
| (2) |
The members in (1) are of type unsigned char or signed char; not of type array. |
| (3) | The members in (1) are placed at successive addresses. |
| (4) |
All the equality/inequality-testing expressions in (1) are associated with one another using the logical OR operators. |
| (5) |
Compile option -O4 or -O5 is used; or any of those, -O1, -O2, -O3, -OR, and -OS, is used with -Ocompare_byte_to_word (-OCBTW). |
Example
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
struct S
{
char a; /* Conditions (2) and (3) */
char b; /* Conditions (2) and (3) */
char c;
} s;
int i;
void func(void)
{
if(( s.a == 0x01 ) || (s.b == 0x01)) /* Conditions (1) and (4) */
i = 10;
else
i = 20;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Workaround
Use compile option -Ono_logical_or_combine (-ONLOC) in addition.
- Schedule of Fixing the Problem
This problem has already been resolved in the V.5.20 Release 1 and later
of both the M3T-NC308WA and M3T-NC30WA. So upgrade yours to these online
from Software download for tools.
