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
Hi Mike,
ARM Compiler 6 is based on LLVM/clang but it includes proprietary tools like armlink, armasm, fromelf and the ARM C libraries. Everything is thoroughly tested, validated and integrated in DS-5 to keep the high quality standard of ARM products. We also provide commercial support for ARM Compiler to make sure customers are able to extract the best out of the tools or if they find any issue with them.
You can find more information here ARM Compiler 6 | ARM DS-5 Development Studio
It is indeed possible to build code for Cortex-A9 using open source clang but, depending on your application, you would also need linker and libraries.
Hope this helps !
Best Regards,Stefano
