Hello,
I'm new to arm cortex a9. how good does the compiler support C++11 or C++14 on bare metal? where can i find the latest compiler?
I use Xilinx Zynq 7010 SoC, which comes with a Dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ with CoreSight™. (Zynq-7000 Silicon Devices)
Thanks,
Mike
I believe an answer regarding the tools provided by ARM will be given by someone much more qualified than I; perhaps christopherseidl or reinhardkeil.
Until then, I would like to mention that GCC can be used for building Cortex-A9 code. GCC is the compiler I use myself - because I am working on a non-Windows platform.
I believe it's particularly important to mention the open source tools, because much of the open source "source code" you can find, will build under these two well-known compilers.
GNU's Web-site contains information on GCC's C++11 (details) and C++14 (details) support.
Though I cannot use clang / LLVM myself, I would like to mention this as well, since it's becoming very popular.
Clang / LLVM also builds Cortex-A9 code and you can find details on its C++11 and C++14 support here.
are there any other ways to use C++11 C++14 on arm cortex a9 without having Clang / LLVM?
Hello, are there anything inconvenient with Clang/LLVM?
Best regards,
Yasuhiko Koumoto.
i wonder how good the debugging tools are with clang ...are there any disadvantages compared to the standard compiler?
christopherseidl and reinhardkeil can you comment?
Hello mike,
don't you say about the compiler?
Do you want any useful tool chains?
Hello Mike,
I'm not a compiler expert. I suppose this should be answered by stefanocadario.
Kind regards,
Christopher
im looking for different compiler and toolchain options. for two different os hosts: windows 7, linux
Christopher Seidl and Reinhard Keil can you comment?
In my experience, CLANG/LLVM is a superior compiler to GCC. Faster compiles, better error messages, more features (e.g. static analysis of your code). LLVM is based on the llvm.org project, which also has better licensing than GCC.
