8 C6000 Migration

All intrinsics and data types defined in c6x_migration.h are available in C7000 Host Emulation for migrating legacy code. All intrinsics that map to a C7000 instruction or a set of instructions are used in the same way as they are with the C7000 compiler. However, as mentioned in Section 4.4, there are limitations when using legacy types in C7000 Host Emulation.

The following sections focus only on the differences between using legacy code with the C7000 compiler and using C7000 Host Emulation. The C6000-to-C7000 Migration User's Guide (SPRUIG5) contains detailed information on migrating C6000 programs to C7000.
