Hi J.C.,
For historic reasons the CVS directory for GCC 3.3 is the one we are
using with GCC 3.2.3. This is because GCC 3.2 and 3.3 are (or should be)
compatible enough that only one version of the MSP430 specific code is
needed.
If you want the current stable version, use GCC 3.2.3, and add the
MSP430 specific code from the gcc-3.3 directory in CVS.
Is it safe for production? Well, it hasn't cause me any physical
injuries, yet. :-) Seriously, every compiler has its quirks, and
embedded work tend to make them show up. However, right now mspgcc is
quite mature and polished. In fact, it hasn't been changing a lot
recently, because it is doesn't need to. Used with the optimisation
switch -O2 the code is compact and fast, and competitive with anything
else around for the MSP430.
Regards,
Steve
