Hi all!

My suggestion to everyone who has tight on money (and who hasn't) and has
time to wait for next versions...

...WAIT!!!


My experience comes from versions 3.038 to 3.053 (these versions in a
little over one month).

One of my problems was using getc() function in RX interrupt routine. My
interrupt routine did not work until for a _long_ debugging and until I
replaced getc() with something like.

char_received = RCREG // (direct from receiver)

I changed only one line.

I also reported one bug with no response, but quess what? It was
repaired, but it was not listed on the recent changes list.

Without those bugs, it would be great compiler for smaller PICs. I would
wait until version 3.210 or something like that.

Their software policy is quite weird too. First you pay for a compiler
(that should be so bug free you could earn your living with it) and then
you must pay for fixes that make compiler working (in other words you do
beta testing for them and you pay for it).

I'dont know how bug free CCS's last versions have been, but maybe someone
with more experience could tell us.
