Per default mbed compile prints errors/warnings on output not in a link format, therefore it is not possible to click, i.e. in an IDE, on the errors/warnings and jump to the position in the file.
The settings parameter lets you decide in witch format do you want to have it.
If it is enabled then the output will look like:
[Error/Warning] [absolute\path\to\file.ext]:[line]:[column]: [msg]
with this format nearly every common known IDE can deal with this link and lets you jump to the file
While ARMC6 does use the same linker (armlink) as ARM Compiler 5, it
is not compatible.
The reason for this incompatibility are twofold:
* armlink may invoke the C preprocessor by adding a shebang
(`#!`) to the top of their input files.
* ARMC6 and ARMC5 differ in how you invoke the preprocessor:
* ARMC5: `#! armcc -E`
* ARMC6: `#! armclang -E`
This forces the tools to rewrite the shebang if it's wrong.
This does not yet handle dependencies properly
This change was spurred by a confusing error. I attempted to compile for
the RZ_A1H (a Cortex-A device), and I had the standalone ARM compiler in
my system path, which supports Cortex-A. However, the default path for
the ARM compiler in settings.py uses a Keil installation, which only
supports Cortex-M. It found my Keil installation and used that instead.
This change proposes to remove this default behavior and instead
requires the user to explicitly set the intended compiler, either by a
settings file, mbed CLI, environment variables, or by placing the
compiler in your PATH.
* added/improved global chroot support
* added RESPONSE_FILES flag to support optional response files (on linux the cmd param length is 2 megabytes). Default True
* added unified handling for archive and link response file (similar to includes)
* added COMPILE_C_AS_CPP flag to support compiling of c files as cpp. Default False
* added mbedToolchain.init() for post __init__ hooks
* added caching to mbedToolchain.need_update() to reduce IO hits
* added support to identify compiler warning/error column (supports ARMCC, GCC and IAR). Errors/warnings now report file@line,col
* added global TOOLCHAIN_PATHS which allows overriding/changing of the toolchain paths. Also simplified ARM-related paths
* added target.json to mbed library release (by @0xc0170)* migrated compile_worker() to utils.py for lightweight thread initialization
* improved run_cmd() performance by removing unnecessary check about the command being executed (should be checked once in the relevant toolchain instead)
* removed remnants of Goanna support (should be reimplemented as hooks to compile/link/archive instead)
* fixes for Python 2.7 compatibility (by @0xc0170)
* fixes for Exporters (by @0xc0170)
