Compilation errors when building C++ project created using CW 6.3

[JaySchneider]

Hello,

I created a test project using CW 6.3 for 5208 EVB. I selected the project type to be C++.

After creating the project, when I compiled I am getting lot of error messages, everything related to namespace and msl_cant_throw errors.....

I tried the same thing with CW 6.2, it works fine.

Any help in resolving this issue appreciated !!!

Thanks and regards

Jay

Thanks.

One thing to note when using the CF compiler of 6.3 is that it requires a special license in order to compile files as C++ code.
If the license.dat does not contain a valid "Win32_ColdFire_Professional" feature, then the CF compiler is silently compiling all code as C, therefore a lot of very strange errors show up for C++ code, I copied the first few errors I got below.
As test, try a very simple b.cpp just containing something trivial like "class Test {};" If that fails with a
"Error   : undefined identifier 'class'" error, then the compiler is not running as C++ compiler.
Apart from this, I don't know the licensing details for the CF tools.
