ARM v5 Compiler (-compiler armcc)

Specify ARM v5 compiler

Description

Specify armcc for the Compiler (-compiler) option if you compile your code with a ARM v5 compiler. By specifying your compiler, you can avoid compilation errors from syntax that is not part of the Standard but comes from language extensions.

Then, specify your target processor type. If you select armcc for Compiler, in the user interface of the Polyspace® desktop products, you see only the processors allowed for a ARM v5 compiler. Your choice of target processor determines the size of fundamental data types, the endianness of the target machine, and certain keyword definitions.

If you specify the armcc compiler, you must specify the path to your compiler header files. See Provide Standard Library Headers for Polyspace Analysis.

Settings

The targets use these default sizes in bits for the fundamental types. You do not see these sizes in the user interface of the Polyspace desktop products.

Your compiler specification also determines the values of many compiler-specific macros. In case you want to know how Polyspace defines a specific macro, use the option -dump-preprocessing-info.
