Apparently, the Actel SoftConsole uses an ancient version of sdcc -- 2.6.3 -- so I wonder if this issue has been addressed in a later version of the compiler? I'll open up a bug in the system regardless; it can always be marked as already solved.

I can assure you this is not fixed in any recent version as I checked the source code.


OK, good to know. I am looking at odd corner cases again, and as such I'm the only person who's come across this? It wouldn't be the first time.

Now to ask Actel why they use an ancient version of sdcc, and whether I can blithely install a newer one over their installation without the whole thing going to hell.

I would wonder especially why they chose to distribute an intermediate snapshot instead of an official release.


Very good question. I don't know if it was Actel's choice, or they're just using what CodeSourcery provided. I did open a tech support case with Actel, asking about why they still use such an old version of the compiler, when they'll provide a newer version, and what I can expect to stop working if I upgrade it myself. Their support sucks, so I'll get a non-answer.
