CMSIS Error using WDT

[trlafleur]

This simple test of the PM->RCAUSE.bit.WDT bit cause an error in a CMSIS Macro... Other bits in RCAUSE work fine...

Arduino 1.85
SAMD21 1.6.19
CMSIS-Atmel 1.1.0

void setup() {

if (PM->RCAUSE.bit.WDT) {}

}

void loop() {

}


// error messages below...

Hi @trlafleur ,
it looks like the D21 (and probably all Atmel/Microchip CortexM0 family) defines WDT as the watchdog register, thus shadowing the original WDT bitfield definition.
Adding

#ifdef WDT
#undef WDT
#endif

at the top of the sketch makes the code compile as expected, however I agree that this is ugly. I'll contact Microchip for a clarification but I doubt they'll be willing to change the define since it could break user code/libraries.
