5 TI Vector Types

The C7000 Host Emulation package generally allows for the use of TI vector types (for example, int16) to be used in the same way as with the C7000 compiler. Boolean vectors, such as bool16, are also supported.

However, due to C7000 Host Emulation being written in C++, there are limitations. The following sections discuss and provide examples of these limitations. Where limitations exist, usage and syntax changes may be required.

Note: If a TI vector type feature is not mentioned here but is permissible with the C7000 compiler, the feature is permissible with C7000 Host Emulation.
