IAR C/C++ Compiler for MSP430 5.10.1 [Evaluation] (5.10.1.20144)
I get an illegal state internal error when attempting to compile the FreeRTOS 5.4 Task.c file (everything else compiles fine)
Internal Error: [CoreUtil/General]: Illegal state
The kick start version of IAR (MSP430 version) works fine.
Any thoughts?
A few ideas
try changing the optimisation level
do a "divide and conquer" on the problem source file until you have reduced it to the smallest amount of code that can cause the ICE, then try re-expressing this part of the code to get rid of the ICE and/or send it to IAR as a bug report
check for updates from IAR - this may be a compiler bug that they are aware of and maybe even have a fix/workaround for
You should try posting this on the Yahoo hosted MSP430 group. Anders, the guy that wrote/maintains the compiler, is good at answering problems there. There are also some very active members there who provide good answers to sensible questions.
You could also send a problem report through their support system. They have always been very good at getting me fixes to any problems.
