TASKING VX-toolset for ARM User Guide

Tool OptionsWith --preprocess=+make the compiler will generate dependency lines that can be used in a Makefile.The information is written to a file with extension .d. The preprocessor output is discarded. The defaulttarget name is the basename of the input file, with the extension .obj. With the option --make-targetyou can specify a target name which overrules the default target name.With --preprocess=+noline you tell the preprocessor to strip the #line source position information (linesstarting with #line). These lines are normally processed by the assembler and not needed in thepreprocessed output. When you leave these lines out, the output is easier to read.Exampleccarm --preprocess=+comments,-make,-noline --no-preprocessing-only test.cThe compiler preprocesses the file test.c and sends the output to the file test.pre. Comments areincluded but no dependencies are generated and the line source position information is not stripped fromthe output file. Next, the control program calls the compiler, assembler and linker to create the final objectfile test.absRelated informationControl program option --dep-file (Generate dependencies in a file)Control program option --make-target (Specify target name for -Em output)639
