    • Type: Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Medium

      Extract the attached test case to an empty directory. Run this command ...

      % cl430 -@top_level.txt

      Run it several times. Once every 5-10 times it ends with ...

      warning #10202-D: no suitable entry-point found; setting to 0

      Note that --rom_model is used, and thus the entry is _c_int00.

      Edit lnk_msp430f2620_problem.cmd. Find these lines ...

      /* UNCOMMENT TO SEE CRASH */
/* #define USE_GROUPS     */

      Uncomment the second line. Then every build causes ...

INTERNAL ERROR: lnk430 had an internal inconsistency and aborted

This is caused by a defect in the TI Linker.
TI Customer Support may be able to suggest a workaround to avoid this.

Upgrading to the newest version of the compiler may fix this problem.

Contact TI in the E2E support forums at http://e2e.ti.com under
"Development Tools", "TI C/C++ Compiler".  See the link titled
"Submitting an issue".

We need to see this ENTIRE error message and a complete, reproducible
test case including ALL of the command-line options.
Include all of the object files, libraries, and linker command files
used to link the program.
