Dear all

I have a problem since CodeWarrior Update 9.6.

I have some source files they need with CW 9.6 30-60 minutes compiling
time; with 9.5 was the compiling time 1-3 minutes.

In the source files are many complex external types (number over 500)
Example:
extern const MyComplexClass unique_name ("Some", "Strings", "!");
extern const MyComplexClass unique_name ("Some", "Strings", "more");
...
3-499
...
extern const MyComplexClass unique_name ("and", "more", "!");

I don't know what the problem is - in the release notes I don't read
anything. Have anybody ideas?

I use also following pramas but no changes:
# pragma optimization_level 0
# pragma global_optimizer off

Have others also problem with the update and release builds?

Now I must downgrade to CodeWarrior 9.5. ;-(

Regards,
Rene

That shouldn't happen there must be something happenng. 9.6 didn't
change that much stuff.

Please contact tech support support@metrowerks.com for some assistance on this.

Let me know when You do and I'll be sure it is assigned promptly.

I haven't contact support@metroweks.com because I have found the problem
or better the solution. After a long session and many 'Force quits'; I
have found that the following project setting the code compile in 5-10
seconds.

{Settings}:<Code Generation>:<PPC CodeGen Mach-O>
Schedule Instructions [off]

But I have changed my file and added '# pragma scheduling off' and this
helps.

But I don't know why. Is that maybe a bug in CW9.6? Should I contact
support@metroweks.com to solve the problem?

What do 'Schedule Instructions'?
