Bug ID: #051229301
Submitted by: rajkovic

Severity: Moderate
Status: resolved since 5.0.0.1

Description:
manchester and Rs485 libraries have some "dirty" code in them, and are doing some unnecessary and improper pin settings on PORTC/TRISC registers. Unfortunately, some test code snippets have not been removed from the library before the build (of the .mcl files).

Workaround:
Please re-set all the pins on PORTC you intend to use, after performing Init() from one of the aforementioned functions.


Notes:
Both on P16 and P18.

Bug ID: #051018301
Submitted by: sisko

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.1;

Description:
After execution of Spi_Init() call all pins of the port where SPI (MSSP) module is located that are not used by the SPI itself are set as inputs. In other words it will override any previous settings of the appropriate TRIS register.

Workaround:
Perform TRISx settings after calling Spi_Init().


Notes:
Both on P16 and P18.

Bug ID: #051228301
Submitted by: multiple sources

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.1;

Description:
Linker reports: Argument not found, Bank not found errors for local variables.
This is conflict between local var optimization (elimination) and use
of Lo,Hi,Higher,Highest built-in.
This type of conflict can also emerge for bit access over f0..f1 to
local vars.

Workaround:
append

Code: Select all

volatile

to local vars declaration that causes problem, or change local var to global


Notes:
Both on P16 and P18.

Bug ID: #060118302
Submitted by: multiple sources

Severity: Moderate
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
Modulus <%> operation yields incorrect results for divisor arguments that are power of two, as well as for negative divisors.

Workaround:
Calculate modulus indirectly, through the division operation.

Notes:

Submitted by: multiple sources

Severity: Moderate
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
Biwise logical operations (&, |, ^) on variables of type long and 2-byte constants (e.g. 18423) give erratic results;

Workaround:
None.

Bug ID: #060118301
Submitted by: reab

Severity: Moderate
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
Use of OneWire library function Ow_Reset() under certain conditions does not handle FSR register properly, resulting in uncontrollable application behaviour.

Workaround:
None.

Notes:
Library bug, both on PIC16 and PIC18

Bug ID: #060118303
Submitted by: multiple sources

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
The Built-in Lcd8_Config() function fails to initialize the (character) LCD module in 8-bit data interface mode.

Workaround:
Perform Init for 8-bit data interface manually.

Notes:
Library bug, PIC16 devices only.

Bug ID: #060118304
Submitted by: rajkovic

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
The Glcd_Fonts library was not included in definition files and must be included manually in project;

Workaround:
Add Glcd_Fonts.mcl directly to project where you use it (Project->Add to Project);

Notes:
Library bug, PIC18 only.

Bug ID: #060118305
Submitted by: multiple sources

Severity: Moderate
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
Compiler handles arrays of const pointers as well as arrays of pointers to const values incorrectly in some cases, making them very hard to use.

Workaround:
Avoid using the aforementioned objects in your code.

Bug ID: #060118308
Submitted by: Mary Nicholls

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
Bitwise negation over a variablewhich is typedef-ed as unsigned char produces <<General Exception>> and the code does not get compiled. Example:

Code: Select all

...
  typedef unsigned short t_byte;
...
  t_byte lus1;
...
  something = ~lus1;

Workaround:
Instead of C-langugage specifier typedef, use the preprocessor:

Code: Select all

#define t_byte unsigned short

Submitted by: Praveen Kumar

Severity: Minor
Status: Resolved since 5.0.0.2

Description:
There is a typo in AdcLib_A_A library: instead of standard Adc_Read(), Acd_Read() function is defined;

Workaround:
Instead of Adc_Read(), type Acd_Read()...

Notes:
Library bug, afects the following devices: P16F716, P16F72, P16F73, P16F74, P16F76, P16F77;

Bug ID: #060207302
Submitted by: srdjan

Severity: Major (5.0.0.0, 5.0.0.1, 5.0.0.2 )
Status: Resolved, since version 5.0.0.3

Description:
Adding unnamed bitfields (padding) in struct and union objects can in some cases cause improper address resolve for member object's members.


Workaround:
Do not use bitfield padding within structures and unions.

Submitted by: srdjan

Severity: Moderate
Status: Resolved, since version 5.0.0.3

Description:
In some cases, typedef-ing of typedefs can cause problems with compile/execution of programme;

Workaround:
Derive your typedefs only from basic types.

Bug ID: #060206301
Submitted by: srdjan

Severity: Major (5.0.0.0, 5.0.0.1, 5.0.0.2 )
Status: Resolved, since version 5.0.0.3

Description:
Like local const variables, local static variables can also cause unexpected programme behaviour in certain code combinations.


Workaround:
Do not use local static variables, use global ones instead until the bug gets resolved.
