Thanks, Just wanted to report that this worked for me for MPLAB® XC8 Compiler v1.37

[houly]

Hello all,
I just installed last MPLAB x IDE and I'm wondering if I have to download the compiler in a second time or does it still integrated to MPLAB X ?
in case of there is no compiler comes with MPLAB, do I have to download them in free version to apply the patch ? does the sticked file are still compatible with recent version of compilers .. .?

Thanks for your help.

The XC compiler is not installed silently when the MPLABX is installed but at the end of the installation a window will pop up and it will advise you to go to the Microchip page and install the XC compiler and some other software like Code Configurator.
So if you did not installed at one stage the XC compiler you need to install it. Manually.
You can check in Program Files folder (or Program Files (x86) for a x64 windows) in the Microchip folder if there is an XC folder.

As for the question if the patch still works, all you have to do is to read the post before yours... there is a nice black picture with the results, also

But since now there is a 1.38 version of the XC8 compiler, I can tell you that it works with this one, too. And with the XC16 v1.26, too.

works on 1.38 too

  Medicine Works Well.

Medicine is working, but  now there´s a message popping out: License check operation timed out. Please check internet conectivity.
I´m using MPLABX 3.40 and XC8 1.38

[martonmiklos]

I have tested this with the Linux versions and here are the results:
XC8 1.35 OK
XC32 1.34 OK
XC32 1.42 FAILED (says the executables are corrut)

Hello everybody ,

Medicine works well on mac os sierra.
 XC8 V1.38 = ok
I hope it will help mac users , how i did :

rename xclm in xclm.old into bin folder
copy new xclm into bin
open terminal and execute : chmod 755 /Applications/microchip/xc8/v1.38/bin/xclm
execute : cd /Applications/microchip/xc8/v1.38/bin
then in terminal : sudo xclm
enter password
we should see :
Patched 40 bytes in file ./cgpic
Patched 40 bytes in file ./cgpic18
Patched 40 bytes in file ./picc
Patched 40 bytes in file ./picc18
Patched SHA in 4 of 4 files

check compiler is in pro mode with xc8 --chip=16f1516 --mode=pro
we should see:

i've tried with xc 16 and XC 32 but not the last one.

[magician]

Medicine is OK

- XC8 version 1.40
- MPLABX v3.50
- Windows 10 x64 

[epi]

Medicine works fine for XC8 v1.41.

[Ferocactus]

Medicine is working, but now MPLAB says: "XC8: Not licensed or error."

XC8 1.41
MPLABX 3.55
Windows 7 x64

Anyone with the same problem?

[mars01]

See this post: http://www.sonsivri.to/forum/index.php?topic=63529.msg182610#msg182610
You need to replace the xclm.exe file in the BIN folder of the MPLABX also.

[adamantium]

XC32 also working on MPLAB 3.55 after also replacing the xclm.exe file in the MPLABX\v3.55\mplab_ide\bin folder.

XC16 1.31
XC32 1.42
Windows 10 x64

[tumbleweed]

XC32 v1.43 is working also.

[jamesbond]

XC8 V1.42 is out , and medicine is working. They have changed the default warning level so i have a lot of warnings in the new version.
I have to set it to -2 to get the same result as in 1.41.

[Dadabe]

I just tried the xclm.exe medicine on MPLAB XC8 v1.42. Tested on Windows 10.
This works with Maplab_IDE v3.60. It is magic! Congratulations to the awesome Top.

hi,
I want to test medicine. Where is?

Working with MBLAB and xc8 v1.42
Many warnings in this version...
and Advisory: "using updated 32-bit floating-point libraries; improved accuracy might increase code size"...

Thanks

You can change the warning level in: XC8 Global Options -> XC8 Compiler -> Preprocessing and Messages -> Warning Level
Also, you can adjust the accuracy for the FLOAT type (from 32bit to 24bit) in XC8 Global Options -> XC8 linker -> Memory Model ->  Size of Float

Also, you can adjust the accuracy for the FLOAT type (from 32bit to 24bit) in XC8 Global Options -> XC8 linker -> Memory Model ->  Size of Float

Or you can use #pragmas to remove specific warnigs, for example

Code:

#pragma disable warning 520

Or You can save the old pragma state and restore later

Code:

Btw, I'm not sure if this is the best thread to post it but since the user was asking here... 
#pragma warning push         // save current warning state

/*temporary modify here any warning, for example,  disable 'warning (520) function is never called' when in FREE mode */
#pragma warning disable 520

void annoying_function_you_never_call()
{
...
}

#pragma warning pop          // restore current warning state

This will prevent any warning 520 being showed when compiling that spcific section of the code.

Medicine is 100% working for:

XC8 version 1.43
MPLABX IDE 4.00

[tumbleweed]

In case there are problems, some different methods of enabling optimization in the XC16 and XC32 compilers are shown in the thread:
