New User – Blank project (LEDBlink.cpp) won't compile: dma.cpp compiler errors

[David L]

Hello
I’ve just installed VisualGDB into Mircosoft Visual Studio Community 2015 the simplest, unmodified new project won’t compile:  dma.cpp is failing to compile,

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Build errors[/caption]

5 identical errors:

invalid operands to binary != (have union <anonymous> and 'int') .

Am I missing somehting in the installation, I’ve had a bit of a google and checked Forum to no avail, I have no idea how to fault find this. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help/patience.
David

Hi,

It’s hard to say what could be causing it without knowing the context (it could be a typo in the device library, incompatible setting, old gcc or a missing #define somewhere). Please let us know which device family you are using and attach a screenshot of the source file with the line causing the error and we will help you resolve this.

Hi,

Thanks for the screenshot. This is a known bug in the MSP432 driver library. Please locate the debug.h file and change the definition of ASSERT() to always ignore the argument:

#ifdef DEBUG
#define ASSERT(expr)
#else
#define ASSERT(expr)
#endif

or simply

#define ASSERT(expr)
