So you’ve found a compiler bug…
Help us out by reporting it! A good bug report will help us expedite a fix.
Where should I send the bug report?
Submit the bug report as a
support ticket [http://www.microchip.com/support]. The dedicated support team will get the message and attachments to the people who will investigate, track, and fix the bug.
What should I put in the bug report? - The version of the compiler. You can get this information by running the compiler with the -v option.
. - A complete input file that will demonstrate the problem. A single statement is (almost) never sufficient.
The best way to send us a complete example is to attach a pre-processed file. Add -save-temps to your compiler command line and send us the generated preprocessed.i file.
. - The Build Options (command-line arguments) passed to the compiler, assembler, and linker. If you are building in MPLAB IDE, send us the entire text from the output window following a Build All.
. - A complete description of the behavior that you believe is incorrect. Assume that the bug is not known. What did you expect to happen? What actually happened? For example: The statement on line 208 of myfile.i assigns 0xFFFF to 16-bit variable foo but I expected it to assign 0x00FF.
