Compatibility Notes

Changes for Release 6.50

The following section describes changes for Release 6.50 of the SAS/C Cross-Platform Compiler.

Marking and Detecting Previously Processed cool Objects

In Release 6.50, by default, cool marks the object deck to prevent an attempt to reprocess it. Also by default, cool detects that the input object deck was previously processed by cool

These defaults can cause cool to indicate an error where it would not detect such an error in previous releases. Under certain restricted circumstances, it is possible to generate object code that can be successfully processed by cool more than once. If you want this type of behavior from cool , the options can be specified such that the output object's decks are not marked and/or that such marking is ignored.
