'error' messages in xe binaries

[Obtuse]

When building Release files for the XS1-L2-124 I get warnings/errors
built into the .xe file.

These messages do not show up in the XDE except that there is a
bug symbol in front of the binaries.

They do show up in the xe file when looking at it with a hex editor.

The manual shows -W switches that should eliminate the problem, but
does not say where to put the switches. At least I can't find where.

Hello Obtuse,

I don't understand all of things what you say, but if you want to specify compiler option, I can tell the way.
Just double-click the Makefile in Project Explore and write options in "Xcc flags" section.
If you use the older version of XDE, location of compiler flags are in different place. (maybe in property of project or build. I've forgotten.)

Perhaps further explaining is prudent.

The supplied hex.xc file below can be copied and pasted into a new project that uses a two tile chip xn file.

Thanks to LyleHaze I found where to put the -switches (-O1 -w) in the makefile.

However, the problem still exists that 'errors' are showing up in the release (xe) code when viewed in a hex editor. They are at the bottom of the hex.xc file. Notice they are related to the source code and not to any build or logic problem, and they do not show up in xTIMEcomposer. The code does run on the chip and in the Simulator.

What is not right?
What needs to be added/changed/modified to either the source or IDE to prevent this?

Thank You.
