The compiler, armcc, enables you to compile your C and C++ code.
The compiler:
Is an optimizing compiler. Command-line options enable you to control the level of optimization.
Compiles:
ISO Standard C:1990 source
ISO Standard C:1999 source
ISO Standard C++:2003 source
into:
32-bit ARM code
16/32-bit Thumb-2 code
16-bit Thumb code.
Complies with the Base Standard Application Binary Interface for the ARM Architecture (BSABI). In particular, the compiler:
Generates output objects in ELF format.
Generates DWARF Debugging Standard Version 3 (DWARF 3) debug information and contains support for DWARF 2 debug tables.
See Compliance with the Application Binary Interface (ABI) for the ARM architecture in Using ARM® C and C++ Libraries and Floating-Point Support for more information.
Can generate an assembly language listing of the output code, and can interleave an assembly language listing with source code.
