Thanks very much for the warning, Wim, this could have bit us rather badly!

I am on vacation until January 2, 2003, so everyone have a very Merry Christmas,
and a Happy New Year!

Subject: [motoroladsp] DO NOT install Codewarrior for DSP 56800 5.0.3
Patch before reading this E-mail
Importance: High Dear Metrowarrior DSP56800 users,

Wait a moment before installing Codewarrior 5.0.3
There is a new bug in Codewarrior 5.0.3 for DSP56800
When you install the update 5.0.3 your license.dat file is deleted (without
any warning)
Your license is overwritten by the "default not-working" license.dat file
(looks like a virus eating your license)
If you then try to compile with the new version, you get the message, that
there is no valid license on your system

Workaround:
Before installing update 5.0.3 copy the file license.dat (f.e. C:\Program
Files\Metrowerks\Codewarrior\license.dat or where you installed Codewarrior)
to a safe directory on your disk or floppy (some directory not used by
Codewarrior)
Then install update 5.0.3
Then copy your original license.dat (from your safe directory) to
Codewarrior directory (overwrite: yes)
Now you can use update 5.0.3

Success!

(error should be generated)

WB1-31735 Using the "Deferred Inlining" option (C/C++ Language) with 2
interrupts, the compiler doesn't generate a correct code

WB1-38509 The compiler generates a wrong code for the operation of 2
tables

WB1-39699 do instruction is generated even when "Allow DO instructions"
is off

WB1-30429 DSP56F80x MetroWerks compiler bug in function call arguments.

WB1-38233 Test fails for mix10.c test when Peephole Optimization
option is ON

WB1-38235 Test fails for ne.c test

WB1-38237 Test fails for quest.c test.

WB1-38245 The test case fails when MSL hostIO library is built with
Global Opt at L2 and up.

WB1-38329 Multiplication and Parameter Passing Defects with Global Opt
2,3,4

WB1-38593 The compiler crashes and closes the IDE

WB1-37594 Optimization for constant pointers lost between version 4 and

causing to return the wrong information.

WB1-41476 Add and multiply generates wrong result.

WB1-41073 Test case generates Internal Compiler Error (ICE) when
compiled with Global Opt at L1 and up.

WB1-40739 Customer application generates an Internal compiler error :

WB1-39809 The compiler uses the RTS instead of RTI instruction for an
interrupt function when "Auto-inline" and "Deferred Inlining" option is
enabled

WB1-38324 internal compiler error is generated in asm (move
#CallReturnAddr,R2).

WB1-38244 Internal Compiler Error generated for inline assembly
conditional branch instruction BEQ when instruction is inlined with
"Auto-Inline" option ON.

WB1-38329 Multiplication and Parameter Passing Defects with Global Opt
2,3,4.

WB1-41725 "Deferred Inlining" option no longer affects none interrupt
functions

WB1-38119 In the interrupt support implementation there are some bugs
for the ARTREPREMU16ZISR, ARTREPREMS16ZISR, ARTREMU16ZISR and ARTREMS16ZISR
