Subject: Re: [Mspgcc-users] mspx54xx msp430X mspgcc libc printf not working





One possible explanation:

when calling a function in msp430x environment, the CALLA instruction is used and two words are pushed to the stack for the return address (instead of one with the CALL instruction). The printf function in the library does not know about this, so it takes the upper word of the return address as pointer to the format string, leading to a totally wrong result. (Actually, printf just generates a pointer to the (wrong) locations of the parameters on the stack and forwards this to vprintf. And vprintf will look at the wrong places.)

-mdata64k does only ensure that the addresses of the format string and any other data pointers will be in lower 64k and therefore 16 bit pointers. It won't help printf to work with the unexpected extra word on the stack.

I'm not 100% sure that this really is the reason, but unless printf has been rewritten...

you can try to use vprintf instead, it should work, as it does not get its parameters on the stack.

Hi,  I have built the latest msp430X release from mspgcc repository.
Spent time cleaning up headers, binutil 2.18 to support correct infomem
start and size values.  Also corrected issues with libmspgcc.

I have hit a wall, printf with formating strings and subsequent variables
doesn't work.  I have tried compiling with -mdata-64k but doesn't solve
the problem.

Has anyone been able to resolve this issue?

Bye Simon


I have the same problem.
