CCS C Subversions? |

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. _________________ Dazed and confused? I don't think so. Just "plain lost" will do. :D |

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!

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 |
