Hello, I experienced some odd effect when msp430-gcc tries to inline memcpy and/or memset.
the code #include <stdint.h> void test_memcpy(void) { uint8_t mybuffer[10]; memset((uint8_t*)&mybuffer, 0, 10); } when compiled with msp430-gcc -c -O2 -mmcu=msp430f449 mspgcc_memcpy.c results in Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <test_memcpy>: 0: 31 50 f6 ff add #-10, r1 ;#0xfff6 4: 81 43 06 00 mov #0, 6(r1) ;r3 As==00, 0x0006(r1) 8: 81 43 08 00 mov #0, 8(r1) ;r3 As==00, 0x0008(r1) c: 31 50 0a 00 add #10, r1 ;#0x000a 10: 30 41 ret In my opion thats not clearing 10 bytes.... Without optimation the code appears sound. msp430-gcc (GCC) 4.7.0 20120322 (mspgcc dev 20120911) Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
