Freescale HC12/HCS12 tools history highlights (cont)

• V4.6i
  The compiler supports anonymous structure and unions as an extension
  to the ANSI standard.
  The linker has been enhanced to allow the -x option on -w segments
  thus allowing automatically filled banked segments to be expanded
  to another one when full.
  The optimizer has been enhanced for a better optimization of loops.
• V4.6e
  The inline function feature is enhanced to allow return values, switch statements and local labels. New inline function mechanism also includes new code and execution speed optimizations.
  New IDEA Version 4 included - Offers new editing, search, and project analysis options and features.
• V4.6c
  New pragma allows unbanked functions to be produced in the banked section.
• V4.6b
  Support for the direct page register.
• V4.6a
  The compiler now produces code by default for HCS12 processors. There is no more need to split source files depending on the functions allocation (banking).

• V4.5l
  The code generator allows the IO registers to be based from an application symbol. Improved shift management.
• V4.5j
  New library functions isqrt() and lsqrt(). Improved EEPROM management..
