The header file compiler_defs.h and the definitions it provides are deprecated, and have been removed from the latest SDK of the Silicon Lab IDE (5.50).  The header has been replaced by si_toolchain.h.  All of the example code provided with the Silicon Labs IDE now uses si_toolchain.h and its definitions.

The main difference between the two headers is the name of some of the defines.  For example, SI_SBIT replaces SBIT, uint16_t replaces U16, and SI_INTERRUPT replaces INTERRUPT.

In order to migrate a project from one header to another:

1.  Remove _compiler_defs.h from the project and add si_toolchain
2.  Replace "#include <compiler_defs.h>" with "#include <si_toolchain.h>
3.  Change defines used in file.  Search and replace is useful for this
