Hello Anders Lindgren and everyone else

How do I in-line C Language routines with the IAR Compiler
in order to avoid the overhead of a function call?

In the Quadravox compiler, you specify __inline__
(two underscores each side of the word inline.
You can also make a multi-line macro.

Hi!

Version 2 of the IAR compiler has got a pragma directive for this
called (suprise ;-) "#pragma inline".  It comes in two flavours, the
normal (where the compiler decides if the function should be inlined)
one and a forced version.  (On low optimization levels, no inlining
will be performed, not even on "forced" function.)

The following is an example of the forced and the normal one:

#pragma inline=forced
void test1()
{
  /* Do something... */
}


#pragma inline
void test2()
{
  /* Do something else... */
}


The inlined function definitions could be placed in header files if
they should be used by function in more than one source files.  Even
if the compiler decides that the function will not be inlined there
will still be at most one copy of the function in the linked
application.

Hello Anders Lindgren and everyone

KickStart V1.26B/WIN which I downloaded from the TI Web Site does not support
"#pragma inline".
What are the upgrade options and is there a free upgrade from TI or IAR to
Version 2 of the IAR Compiler?

Hi!

It look like TI is restructuring their web site; I asked around and
apparently the Kickstart version will be available for download very
soon.
