Debug/Release options

Postby Tabulous » Tue Aug 29, 2017 1:03 pm

Is it possible to pass build symbols to the make file and thus select different scatter file and compiler options ?

As you know debugging with optimization is not really good. I need to debug on a 512KB flash part, and then for release version build for 256KB with optimization.

You could make 2 different Makefiles and 2 build configurations in Eclipse, the result is the same.

See the new multi-target demo for an example of how to do that, under /hal/STM32/USB_CDC.

You need to checkout the repository trunk, makefiles have been improved.

It's in trunk /testhal/STM32/USB_CDC

If you are using Chibistudio RoccoMarco did a nice article on using Tortoise SVN to keep in sync with trunk.

Changing to the trunk would be a task at the moment as i've got afew bits in lower level drivers changed.

All i was thinking was maybe :

have too build configs in eclipse, i.e. Debug and Release.

Each one as different # Symbols of which are passed the makefile and then i could

Code: Select all

# Compiler options here.
ifeq ($(USE_OPT),)
  ifeq ($(RELEASE_BUILD),1)
    USE_OPT = -Os -ggdb -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=16
  else
    USE_OPT = -O0 -ggdb -fomit-frame-pointer -falign-functions=16
  endif
endif

Environment variables are passed to make, you may use that.
