tool = tc.getBuildTool('C Compiler');

tool.setName('Intel C Compiler');
tool.setCommand('icl');
tool.setPath('');

tool.setDirective('IncludeSearchPath','-I');
tool.setDirective('PreprocessorDefine','-D');
tool.setDirective('OutputFlag','-Fo');
tool.setDirective('Debug','-Zi');

tool.setFileExtension('Source','.c');
tool.setFileExtension('Header','.h');

Use the setFileExtension Interactively

tc = coder.make.ToolchainInfo;
tool = tc.getBuildTool('C Compiler');
blditm = coder.make.BuildItem('CD','.cd')

bldtm = 

	Macro  : CD
	Value : .cd

tool.addFileExtension('SourceX',blditm)
value = tool.getFileExtension('SourceX')
value  =
