Hi Greg,
I will give it a try.
I have an IAR v3.30A. I use C++ all the time on MSP430. Actually I get
better code when using C++. Indeed I limit using dynamic memory allocation.
Memory allocation is ok. There are quite a few better memory allocation
routines out there. I tried the two from FreeRTOS. Pretty efficient stuff.
The problem was fragmentation if repeated alloc/freeing is involved. Anyway,
I checked in the changes required to get the c++ compiler working this
is for mspgcc-3.2.3
You need to download gcc-core-3.2.3.tar.bz2 and gcc-g++-3.2.3.tar.bz2
from the gcc site.
from the build procedure when you build gcc, do the following,
$ cp -a gcc/gcc-3.3/* gcc-3.2.3
$ cd gcc-3.2.3
$ ./configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430
--enable-languages=c,c++
$ make
$ su
$ make install
and you should get both compilers built.
I actually build them in a separate directory from the source, you can
to this like,
$ cp -a gcc/gcc-3.3/* gcc-3.2.3
> $ mkdir build-gcc
$ cd build-gcc
$ ../gcc-3.2.3/configure --target=msp430 --prefix=/usr/local/msp430
--enable-languages=c,c++
$ make
$ su
$ make install
