How can we find out, which version of compiler is used to generate a binary.

Note: This was originally posted on 27th October 2009 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi All

I have two .out file generated using  ARM 2.0.1 and ARM 4.0.0.

How can i come to know which binary is generated using which
compiler.

Does ARM provide any headers in .out file.  so that i can check for ?

or is there any ARM command which will can brief me about that .out file
with information of version compiler and other version or tools it is built with.

Thanks

    yes i have a binary  the .out file,  i too think it may not be possible... but for object file or .a ( lib file) or .obeject we can use "armar object"

    Thanks pal.

    Do you have a binary or an object/image?  If you have an object or image, you can use the RVCT fromelf tool to see how it was built.  Try "fromelf -v ".  (You might want to direct the output to a file)

    If what you have is a raw binary, I don't believe it is possible.
