Release Date: 2nd June 2015

• [μVision]
  • This C51 release comes with μVision V5.14.2.
  • Corrected: Potential error that stopped processing of uVision Debugger Initialization Files (*.ini) that are larger than 4096 bytes.

• [LX51 Linker/Locater]
  • Implemented: the PUBLICSONLY Linker directive.
    The generated objectfile contains only public symbol information from the inputfile.
  • Enhanced: LX51 code optimization now removes common blocks for unused functions. Example:
    

    unsigned char a, b, c;
    unsigned char darr [0x10];
    
    void FuncA (void) {
      darr[c] = darr[b];
    }
    
    void FuncB (void) {
      darr[c] = darr[b];
    }
    
    void FuncC (void) {
      darr[c] = darr[a] + darr[b];
    }
    
    void FuncD (void) {
      darr[c] = darr[a] + darr[b];
    }
    
    void main(void) {
      FuncA ();
      FuncB ();
      while(1);
    }

    In the example above the functions FuncC() and FuncD() are removed when the REMOVEUNUSED linker directive is specified. Now, the first part of the common code block (FUNCTION ?L?COM0001) is no longer necessary. In previous verions this was still part of the image. With the new linker enhancement even this code block is removed.
