I just received my MSP430 FR5994 LaunchPad kit and fired up my first project using CodeComposer v 10.1.0.00010.  I'm underwhelemed and wondering if I'm going down the wrong path.

Specifically, the compiler feels ancient.  For example,

for (int i=0; i<100; i++) {
  do_something_with(i);
}

won't compile, complaining that i is undefined.  All modern compilers I know of support this.  So with this construct:

int i;
for (i=0; i<100; i++) {
  do_something_with(i);
}

the compiler gives a "helpful" remark that "Detected loop counting up. Recommend loops count down as detecting zeros is easier".  Yes, I used to write counting-down loop code slavishly, but stopped doing that when compilers started including great `for` loop optimization..

So is there a way to swap out cl430 compiler and use some version of gcc or other modern compiler? 

Or am I just using the wrong IDE?
