<font face="Courier New" size=-1>I've tried it.
I am not a really brave guy but I have an installation in "D:\PICC3" for the last well-tested version for legal use and another one in "D:\PICC33" to test the newer versions.

Preliminary results:
The compiled code is similar to 3.158 (incl. that huge jump table at switch() statements without "default").
The "pointer to a function" feature doesn't work as expected.
Some new chips like Realtek RTL8019 Ethernet chip and others are supported by their driver files (but of course I didn't test these drivers yet).

I've tried it but I got an error message "cannot find target" on the CCS S/W Prototyping board via the ICD-S. Therefore, I couldn't download hex files to the target. When I re-installed back to V3.158, the problem went away! It sounds like V3.160 has bug(s) in it.

I went back to 3.148. I don't think the compiler is working correctly on all projects. Some projects it compiles ok others the compiler runs and appears to work but misses deliberately introduced syntax errors. The IDE has some problems also specifically with edit/replace. The debug stepping and resetting in 3.160 seem to be more reliable on the projects that actually compiled.
The new installer is prone to bombing on a WIN98SE PC.
3.160 is still a work in progress

"pointer to a function" works for me !

CCS sample ex_qsort.c has a small bug ...

line# 93: if(c='A')

should be if(c=='A')

:=How?

source code as follow, compiled with IDE 3.31, PCM 3.160.

however, I just can not make CCS "pointer to function" work for the following function:

int16 fun_1(int16 x) { ... }

It only work for ... int8 f(int8 x, int8 y) ...

what can I say?

CCS "pointer to function" can only work for A specific type of function.

Let's wait for ... 3.169
