Compiling SDCC in visual studio 2013

[Peter Dons Tychsen]

Hello all,

I have followed the instructions for VS2010 to build it in VS2013. It almost works.

The problems i am having is:

1) SDCPP complains that CL_SDCPP is not defined, as if the options files were not generated correctly.
2) SDCC itself compiles fine but crashes in BOOST code when running.

The job i run is: -mstm8 -c main.c, where main is a dummy file with just main().

sdcc.exe!stm8_ralloc2_cc(ebbIndex * ebbi) Line 584 C++
sdcc.exe!stm8_assignRegisters(ebbIndex * ebbi) Line 635 C
sdcc.exe!eBBlockFromiCode(iCode * ic) Line 2414 C
sdcc.exe!createFunction(symbol * name, ast * body) Line 7190 C
sdcc.exe!yyparse() Line 212 C
sdcc.exe!main(int argc, char * argv, char * envp) Line 2551 C

Does anyone see the same as these 2 errors? Running without -mstm8 makes it go away, but i guess thats just because they do not call ralloc().

My invironment:

• MSVC-13-SP5, Win7 64 Pro
• SDCC trunk.
• BOOST 1.59, as 1.60 is completely hosed and makes VS2013 crash at build time.
• MSYS latest.

Thanks,

The entire crashing call tree looks like this:

sdcc.exe!std::_Debug_message
sdcc.exe!std::_Debug_lt_pred
sdcc.exe!std::list
sdcc.exe!std::list
sdcc.exe!std::list
sdcc.exe!tree_dec_ralloc_forget
sdcc.exe!tree_dec_ralloc_nodes
sdcc.exe!tree_dec_ralloc_nodes

OK just tried with VS2010 i had on an older PC. Same thing. Crash in BOOST.

Has any built SDCC recently using MSVC10/13/15 where it actually works with "-mstm8" ?.

[Peter Dons Tychsen]

Also VC2010 complains about CL_SDCPP just like VC2013

I'm using VS2010 and boost 1.57.0 and have no difficulty compiling an empty main.c using stm8

[Peter Dons Tychsen]

Maybe i should try boost 1.57.0 then.

What about the CL_SDCPP bug. Do you get that ?

[Peter Dons Tychsen]

OK found the culprit.

Mingw (msys 1.0) does not work properly. It messes up allot of CR/LF translations.
This is causing both errors.

Using MSYS2 which is actively updated makes it work just fine.
I can recommend MSYS2 which is also fairly light-weight.

Maybe the docs should be updated to reflect this.

Thanks,
