| CCS C Subversions? |
 Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 7:38 am |

| By chance, I found that there are at least two subversions of most recent PCD V4.099, a pcwhdupd.exe file version 4.99.2.12 of sep-02 and a version 4.99.3.17 of sep-04. Does anyone know details about CCS subversion policy? |

Mmm, the higher number is "hopefully" better?
(snicker)
Otherwise, No.

I have seen them do this in past years, though not recently. I think they
do it if they discover a mistake soon after posting a version. They don't
want to issue a whole new version, so they so a silent sub-version. I'm
sure that I emailed them years ago about this not being the correct way
to do it. |

>>>Somehow this release was delayed...
Alas... The best laid plans of mice and men, oft go astray!

Yes, that's pretty understandable. The bad thing is to hold back necessary bug fixes, because the version numbers are exhausted, which could be foreseen since months. |

Mmmm - I have been waiting for this 4.100 release since they announced it in May. I think my maintenance is due to expire again in December so based on my recent luck, they will probably not release it until the new year  |

Okay, I'm an idiot. Where are you seeing the sub-rev numbers?
I've been having a heck of a time with PCD bugs and a "minor" revision may be worth upgrading to.
Does the CCS Upgrade Mgr respond to sub-rev's? Or, if I force an upgrade will it get the latest subrev? |

| The email I got from ccs a while back they stated that the new features for 4.100 are already in there. I believe 4.096? They just didn't publish the fact. |

Can we expect CCS C "cheats" and secret codes to be published next?
I seriously doubt, if this is a good news.
Actually, they silently added new functionality to C strings (similar to Pascal or C++ string classes). But it's only working partly, if I guessed the intended functionality right. Perhaps someone should design an automatic test tool with a random generator to search for newly supported syntax elements...
| Code: | char aa[10],bb[10],cc[10];
aa = "1234"; // is accepted now and "works"
bb = "5678";
cc = aa + bb; // is accepted now but doesn't work in PCH or PCD |
