Release Candidate 7.21

[Pavel]

SourceBoost 7.21 release candidate is availabel to download from http://www.sourceboost.com/CommonDownload.html This release fixes all major known issues, adds support for couple new targets (16F24K50/25K50/45K50 please add them to the BoostCPic18.h system header if you want to use these targets), support for arrays inside linear address range for PIC16 with extended instruction set and adds the 'reset layout' IDE command.

There will be another release sometimes soon as this release candidate has an unresolved yet issues around dynamic memory allocation functionality for PIC16 with extended instruction set that we still investigate. Apart from that everything else seems to work fine. All our regression tests have passed so please try this rc and let us know if you find any problems.

Hi Pavel,

 

A small gripe I have is that PIC16 devices with an 8 bit FSR are being allocated 2 bytes for a pointer.

 

For small devices with a scarce RAM resource (upto 256 bytes) this is a bit of a waste of RAM usage.

 

Cheers

Would you mind giving more details about the major bugs fixed in RC721 ? I am eager to know whether this bugs would cause me troubles in my program.

Thanks
