Error description

  • When compiling an application that uses the
    __d128_test_significance compiler built-in, and contains inline
    assembly code, the compile fails at the assemble step with the
    following error message:
    
    Assembler:
    filename.s: line 79: 1252-205 This instruction form requires the
            RS or RT register to be even.
    1500-067:(S) asm statement generates errors in assembler output.
    

Local fix

  • - Remove inline ASM
    - Lower optimization level

    DFP instructions.
    
    USERS AFFECTED:
