VAST has been upgraded through two versions (VAST 11 for 4.0 Alpha and 4.0 Alpha2 and later). Apart from the following issue, you do not have to make any changes to your v3.1 builds to use the new VAST.

RVCT v3.1 for µVision reassociated saturating ALU operations. This meant programs like the following could produce different results with --vectorize and --no_vectorize:

int g_448464(short *a, short *b, int n)
{
    int i; short s = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)  s = L_mac(s, a[i], b[i]);
    return s;
}

In RVCT v4.0 for µVision, you might see a performance degradation because of this issue.

The --reassociate_saturation and --no_reassociate_saturation command-line options have been added to permit reassociation to occur.
