Any trouble with 6.14?

James Wilkinson

Has anyone experienced problems with the latest version - instalation\program? I just want to be sure before I upgrade...

thanks,

    Well, previous versions (and Borland) had never complained about the following line
    (see [1] below before commenting on the line itself!)

    #if defined TRACE || LOG
    but 6.14 gives error 308, Invalid integer constant expression.
    TRACE was not defined, and LOG was defined by the command-line option 
    DEFINE( LOG )
    So presumably the action of the DEFINE command-line option has changed?
    (The C51.pdf manual is still dated 11.2000 - as for v6.12 - and doesn't state what happens when no argument string is supplied).

    uVision still has the same old bug that double-clicking an error message in the 'Build' window brings up the C51 Library Reference help, instead of the Error Messages help (unless a non-source file previously had the focus, or you mess around clicking here and there til it gets it right!)

    Also, uVision doesn't find the correct description for error 308 - because the compiler doesn't put the 'C' prefix in the message!

    uVision's syntax colouring still doesn't recognise "defined"

    [1] Actually, to do what I really intended, I should have written:
    #if defined TRACE || defined LOG
    or even:
    #if defined(TRACE) || defined(LOG)

    If I make this change, everything's happy - but it still goes to show that something's changed in v6.14

      I did have some trouble with the installation ( using the option - for additional architectures ), "unknown xcopy error" but when i ran the standard UV2 update everything went ok!

      Did you try looking in the release notes, surely it was mentioned in there?

        "Did you try looking in the release notes, surely it was mentioned in there?"

        ROTFLOL!

        If you try a search on "release notes" you'll find that I've asked many times for release notes which give the difference between v6.n and v6.n+m
        Unfortunately, the release notes only ever give the differences from v6.00 :-(
