TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide

TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide2. The scanner phase:The scanner converts the preprocessor output to a stream of tokens.3. The parser phase:The tokens are fed to a parser for the C grammar. The parser performs a syntactic and semanticanalysis of the program, and generates an intermediate representation of the program. This code iscalled MIL (Medium level Intermediate Language).4. The frontend optimization phase:Target processor independent optimizations are performed by transforming the intermediate code.Backend phases1. Instruction selector phase:This phase reads the MIL input and translates it into Low level Intermediate Language (LIL). The LILobjects correspond to a processor instruction, with an opcode, operands and information used withinthe C compiler.2. Peephole optimizer/instruction scheduler/software pipelining phase:This phase replaces instruction sequences by equivalent but faster and/or shorter sequences, rearrangesinstructions and deletes unnecessary instructions.3. Register allocator phase:This phase chooses a physical register to use for each virtual register.4. The backend optimization phase:Performs target processor independent and dependent optimizations which operate on the Low levelIntermediate Language.5. The code generation/formatter phase:This phase reads through the LIL operations to generate assembly language output.4.2. Calling the C CompilerThe TASKING VX-toolset for ARM under Eclipse can use the internal builder (default) or the TASKINGmakefile generator (external builder) to build your entire project. After you have built your project, theoutput files are available in a subdirectory of your project directory, depending on the active configurationyou have set in the C/C++ Build » Settings page of the Project » Properties for dialog.Building a project under EclipseYou have several ways of building your project:148
