targets.json contained a key for some targets, `OUTPUT_EXT`, which I
moved to `Target`, the root of all targets. Following on that, the tools
now use this extension provided by `OUTPUT_EXT` to determine the file
type of the output executable.
An earlier patch in this series relies on the assumption that all
toolchain construction goes through `prepare_toolchain`. This is still
not the case. The only remaining user of the `mbedToolchain` object that
does not go through `prepare_toolchain` is the static analysis scanner.
It's basically dead-code at this point. I say we remove it. So this
patch removes it.
This is a bug fix for the following bug (Github issue #437):
If two builds were run specifying a non-default build folder, the second
build would fail to link with duplicate symbols and may not fit on the
device. The root of this problem is that these non-default build folders
are not ignored by scan-resources, and therefore included in the build.
We fix this bug by ignoring the build directory passed into the tools.
Resolves the github issue #3790: Blinky fails to build (on Mac) after
addition of linker script preprocessing feature. Paraphrasing, this
issue is that Homebrew on mac does not install `arm-none-eabi-gcc` in
the same location as `arm-none-eabi-cpp`, the C Pre-Processor. The tools
prior to this commit, and after turning on the pre-processing of the
linker-script will fail on any Mac homebrew installed toolchains.
This commit resolves the above issue by allowing the toolchain's path to
the executable to remain empty after a call to `check_executable`. When
this path is empty, the tools will search the PATH environment variable
for the executable.
This allows us to define parts of the linker script outside of the
linker script itself. In particular, we are interested in restricting
ROM to a subsection.
* Adding Cortex-A support for gnuarmeclipse
* Preventing '-mthumb' from being added to Cortex-A builds.
Previously, both '-mthumb' and '-marm' were being supplied to the
compiler (in that order). Because '-marm' came last, the compiler
respected this option. This change makes it so '-mthumb' is added for
all 'Cortex-M' targets only.
* Renaming to capital .S for Eclipse compatibility
On the ARM toolchain linker flags specified in the build profile do
not get passed to armlink. This patch adds these flags to the
arguments sent to armlink.
Before the toolchains would ignore error messages that contained the
string "Fatal error". This would lead to a silent failure unless the
compile command was ran with verbose options. This is now fixed.
This fixes an issue where the absolute path causes a file error if the
compiler paths are configured incorrectly. It uses a relative path
instead now (the files appears to be in the default search path).
This makes use of the reports generated by the building of tests to
prevent output from interleaving when the build is parallelized. This
required some changes to memap to return a generated string from
the 'generate_output' function. I also had an option to stop the prints
from memap to prevent text from interleaving
The 'silent' option has always been present in the toolchains API, however
it did not actually stop anything from being printed. Instead, it just
changed what was added to the build log. This make the 'silent' stop all
prints, but ensures that the output for the toolchain is still preserved
and accessible via the 'get_output' function.
