pcwh v.4.023

[jorge]

Hello,
I changed my compiler PCWH from 3.212 to 4.023. My program was working fine under the first one, but now I get the compilation error Nr. 165 "No overload function matches". The manual doesn't reveal anything about it.
Could anybody give a hint how to solve the problem?

Thank you for the help,

its solved by removing all prototype functions in the main program.

Best wishes

CCS has a reasonably priced product but there are frequent problems with backwards compatibilty. We have been using the CCS compiler for about 15 years and have seen numerous instances of this problem.

The solution has been to install subsequent versions separately so when it becomes necessary to maintain some old code we can use the original version. This was learned after instances of rewriting entire programs. For this reason we do not use the auto update utility as this will write over the existing revision. This recently happened when upgraded to v4.104 which would not compile a program currently in development. Luckily 4.099 is OK.

In my opinion this strategy is essential as a long term support strategy.

Thank you for this hint. I am going to install both versions of compiler I have. That will save a lot of time maintaining existing programs.
Best wishes
