TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide

Using the C CompilerFirst the compiler looks for the file stdio.h in the directory myinclude relative to the current directory.If it was not found, the compiler searches in the environment variable CARMINC and then in the defaultinclude directory.The compiler now looks for the file myinc.h, in the directory where test.c is located. If the file is notthere the compiler searches in the directory myinclude. If it was still not found, the compiler searchesin the environment variable CARMINC and then in the default include directory.4.4. Compiling for DebuggingCompiling your files is the first step to get your application ready to run on a target. However, duringdevelopment of your application you first may want to debug your application.To create an object file that can be used for debugging, you must instruct the compiler to include symbolicdebug information in the source file.To include symbolic debug information1. From the Project menu, select Properties forThe Properties dialog appears.2. In the left pane, expand C/C++ Build and select Settings.In the right pane the Settings appear.3. On the Tool Settings tab, select C/C++ Compiler » Debugging.4. Select Default in the Generate symbolic debug information box.Debug and optimizationsDue to different compiler optimizations, it might be possible that certain debug information is optimizedaway. Therefore, if you encounter strange behavior during debugging it might be necessary to reducethe optimization level, so that the source code is still suitable for debugging. For more information onoptimization see Section 4.5, Compiler Optimizations.Invocation syntax on the command line (Windows Command Prompt)The invocation syntax on the command line is:carm -g file.c4.5. Compiler OptimizationsThe compiler has a number of optimizations which you can enable or disable.1. From the Project menu, select Properties for151
