Level 10: Rearrange Code; Level 11: Reuse of Common Exit Code. Does anyone have any experience of these higher optimisation levels, relying on the LX51 Linker? This thread reported some bugs, and expressed some misgivings about the advantages: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread2094.asp That was v7.02; now we're at v7.07a: Can anyone confirm that the bugs are really fixed now? Does it do any better now? Any other plaudits, Gotchas! or concerns?
"The only down side I've experienced is that this level of optimization wreaks havoc on the ability of a source-level debugger" 'twas ever thus! :-( It's the old optimisation-vs-debuggability problem again: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread1673.asp Another case of, "you can't have your cake and eat it" :-( Out of interest, which debugger do you use?
We have a pretty big project that must fit into 60K.When we encounter some error in the linking process (before packing), it reports over 80KB of code, and after packing we are under 60KB limit.Otherwise,there are no side-effects (versions 7.03 and above).It does a great job actually saved a project!!! regards Dejan
