armlink stuck in armcc

Stefano

I have a scatter file which instructs armlink (also 5.05u1) to pre-process it with armcc

For example like this:

#! armcc -E

#define TEST 1

#if TEST == 1

#error Works

#endif

If I try this, armcc does not stop (as it is waiting for more input) and therefore armlink hangs.

Using instead:

#! arm-none-eabi-gcc -E -P -x c

works fine.

Hi,

     Unfortunately, due to a defect that affects ARM Compiler 5.05, 5.05 update 1, and 5.05 update 2, you will need to temporarily separate the scatter-file preprocessing from the link step as a workaround:

1. Use armcc to preprocess the scatter-file;
2. Pass the result of 1 as your scatter-file input to armlink.

We expect this issue will be fixed in the next ARM Compiler 5 release. Sorry for the inconvenience this issue is causing to you.

Best Regards,

Stefano

Ok, thanks for the info.
