Compile problems - V6 Patch 6.0.4.0

[stewartbaker]

Hi,
I get the following error message when compiling.

Advanced Noise Canceller_v6_3.c(946:6): error: Function 'FCD_00c10_solenoid_base1__TurnOn' already has a body

Simulation works OK.

Cheers

Hi Stewart,

Thanks for letting us know, we have replicated the problem here and are looking into it now.

Hi. Apologies for this - problem will only affect components embedded inside other components, but the next patch (we will get out asap) will fix this for you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, and looking forward to the patch.

Aren't there rather a lot of components embedded inside other components ?

Does this issue affect them all ?

Hi Stewart. Good point - yes and no.

The issue is statically linked components. These are components that are essentially copied in their entirety into another component, so you do not need the original on your system. Usually all that is stored is a reference to the component and any altered properties.

If a component is statically linked and shares the same name with another component of the same type with the same name (in a different scope) then this issue will occur. Unfortunately the further into release things get, the more 'ifs' get added to the start of bug descriptions!

This has been fixed now and we can perhaps get something out by the end of next week.

Hi Jonny,
Thanks for your prompt reply and explanation.

I can fully understand how, as more functionality is added to Flowcode these sort of issues become more difficult to anticipate.

Looking forward to the fix.

Stewart

B.T.W is there someone at Matrix who is conversant with using Flowcode and Tina 9 together ?
