Change list for RealView Compilation Tools available?

The Release_Notes.htm file in the ARM compiler gives an overview of changes made between MDK-ARM versions, but is there somewhere I can find out exactly what bug fixes/improvements have been made to the RealView compiler itself?

The behaviour of the compiler has changed between MDK-ARM versions 4.03a and 4.10, which is not surprising since the compiler is a new version in this release. However, this has resulted in some code developed on 4.10 (which compiles with no warnings) to fail with an error during compilation on 4.03a. Specifically I have a function which accepts a pointer to void, and am passing a function pointer to it.

I can make the code compile on both versions with some casting, but I would like to be able to see if this issue is known and if there are other issues we should be wary of.

  • Could you please provide a reference for your assertion that a void pointer can not hold the address of a function?

    If your assertion is correct and passing a function pointer to a (const void *) argument is not permitted, then why does the latest compiler produce perfectly working code with no warnings?

    Irrespective, this doesn't answer my question; is a list of changes/improvements/bug fixes for the Realview compiler versions available?
