static clustering optimization with EWARM

Dear All,

I’ve seen that the port of FreeRTOS for SAM7X excludes the “static clustering” optimization for the Release Build while including all other optimizations.

I also experience problems with this optimization in a flash programming routine for SAM7S.

Is there anybody here who could explain to me what the problem with this kind of optimization could be?

TIA,
Sven

As I recall when looking into this, the manual explains it quite clearly.  The static clustering option optimizes the output but clustering - statically.  What more do you need to know, LOL.

I’d like to know WHY this optimization is disabled in the SAM7X port - because it could indicate to me why I experience the problems that I have using this optimization.

I’ve read the manual but obviously overlook the consequences that this optimization has on the code I wrote.

Smug comments generally do not help anybody!

Hey sorry if offence caused.  I was not trying to be smug.  In fact the opposite.  I was saying rather sarcastically that the IAR manual does not provide any useful information on what it does.

Oh sorry, then I just got you wrong.
Anyhow - this optimization is quite effective, so doing without is a somewhat awkward.
