🌋 IMPORTANT CHANGES 🌋

The Expansion now uses Modern compilers by default

  • We have enabled -Werror -Wall in the Makefile. These flags show warnings for undefined behaviors in the old compiler (agbcc), and sets all warnings as errors. As such, we have updated the codebase so that all warnings that gcc 13 throws are handled:
  • Modern compiler may raise the following errors for code introduced from outside the expansion, so we recommend solving those errors:
    • unused-function. To solve it, add UNUSED to the function definition. 
      -static void Function(void)
+static void UNUSED Function(void)
    • unused-variable. To solve it, remove the unused variable. 
      static void Function(void)
{
-   u8 unused;
    u8 used;
...
    • unused-but-set-variable. To solve it, add UNUSED to the variable definition. 
      static void Function(void)
{
-   u8 unused;
+   u8 UNUSED unused;
    u8 used;
    unused = DoSomething();
...
  • Updated modern compiler install instructions by @hedara90 in #3527
  • You may still use agbcc by adding agbcc to your make command to finish the update process before fixing these errors.
    • eg. make -j8 agbcc.
    • We may drop support for it in the future, so we recommend updating the code to support the new compilers.
    • This will generate pokeemerald_agbcc.gba, while modern will generate pokeemerald.gba by @Bassoonian in #3462
