Compilation or not compilation

PhilFree — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 17:30:37 GMT

Hello,

I have found a little bug in codewarrior 10.4 :

Processor = MS9S08QE128

Project mixed with C and ASM, parts in separate sources (ASM not in C sources)

- Variable declared in C ex: char VAR1

ASM Include sources: asm_var.inc

content:

XREFB VAR1

FOO: EQU 5

Assembly source: asm_main.asm

content:

INCLUDE 'asm_var.inc'

label:

MOV FOO,VAR1

RTS

Compilation build project = OK, no errors

The values in asm_var.inc are modified like this and saved on disk

XREFB VAR12345

FOOZSQ: EQU 5

Compilation build project = OK, no errors !!!

To find the errors, I need to clean the project and rebuild it. With "normal" compilation this big bug is not detected.

I try to rename the include file asm_var.inc in asm_var.s, coloring syntax appear but the bug remain.

With the same wrong value in include file and adding an error on keyword XREFB

XREFBx VAR12345

FOOZSQ: EQU 5

The error is now detected, it's seems that variables are not always verified by the builder ??

Thank you

Philippe

Hello,

or in other words: the GNU make file is not properly tracking the assembly include file dependencies.

I faced that problem too and have filed a bug report on this.

I know that this does not help, but at least I can confirm the issue.

As a workaround, if you change a .inc file, either change/touch the assemly file(s) using it, or do a clean as you already did.

I hope this helps (at least somewhat).
