CW 3 to CW 6.4 upgrade

[seanpatrick2000]

I have CW 3.0 targeting Coldfire 5272 processor. My code has grown so large that the linker is failing so I am trying to upgrade to CW 6.4. I downloaded the evaluation copy and converted myproject but the project will not compile, it seems like it's trying to use the C compiler and my code is C++. I am getting error for using 'bool' and for function overloading.

Does the evaluation copy come with a C++ compiler or not, I notice that it will not even compile the hello world demo the IDE generates if it is in C++

How do I turn on the C++ compiler?

P.S. does anybody know about the linker issue Im having with 3.0? when my TEXT grows over 0x90000

the linker failes to resolve addresses properly it seems.

I'm not clear at what you mean by upgrading to CW 6.4, but if you're trying to use the Special Edition of CW for ColdFire 6.4, it doesn't have C++ support. That is why you're not seeing anything happen with your C++ program.

You don't get C++ support unless you upgrade to the CW 6.4 Professional edition.

I was trying to see if the latest compiler would fix the problems Im having with CW 3.0

so I downloaded the evaluation copy of CW6.4 but it would not compile my source.

When the TEXT portion of my code grows over 0x90000 the linker seems to be failing

to resolve external references in the last couple of files in the link order.  I get no error

messages but the code in those modules does flakey things.

Are you aware of any limitations on the linker from CW 3.0 I know you dont support that

build anymore was hoping someone  might have some knowledge of the compiler from

back  then.
