johnsondavies got a reaction from phenyl in Lisp for the MSP430 FR6989 LaunchPad April 28, 2019

My Lisp interpreter for microcontrollers, uLisp, now supports the MSP430 FR6989 LaunchPad board, with the ability to write text to the LCD display from Lisp programs:

I've figured out why I got confused: I'd been testing the same source file (uLisp Zero) on ATmega boards, under the Arduino IDE, and on MSP430 boards, under the Energia IDE.
I have the Preferences set the same on both IDEs, in particular, Compiler warnings: All.
On the Arduino IDE the source compiles fine with no errors or warnings.
On Energia when you select a different board any source, even BareMinimum, compiles with about 60 warnings the first time you compile it, many of these trivial and relating to the core; for example:
<command-line>:0:12: warning: missing whitespace after the macro name [enabled by default]
Compiling the same source a second time seems to suppress these warnings, but my source file still gives some warnings related to "strict-aliasing rules", presumably due to differences between the C compilers on the two platforms. But it runs OK.
I installed the Energia MSP432 boards by Energia" package from Boards Manager to try the same source on the MSP432P401R LaunchPad, and I think the reappearance of the warnings confused me, and I falsely attributed them to the newly installed package. I should have taken more care to figure out what was going on before posting on the forum, and thanks for your tolerance!
