ARM Compiler toolchain
The ARM Compiler toolchain can be used to build programs from C, C++, or ARM assembly language source. It generates optimized code for the 32-bit ARM and 16-bit Thumb and Thumb-2 instruction sets and supports full ISO standard C and C++. It also supports the NEON SIMD instruction set with the vectorizing NEON compiler.
The ARM Compiler toolchain comprises the following components:
- ARM and Thumb C and C++ compiler, armcc
- NEON vectorizing compiler, invoked using the command armcc --vectorize
- ARM and Thumb assembler, armasm
- ARM linker, armlink
- ARM librarian, armar
- ARM image conversion utility, fromelf
- supporting libraries.
