Hi, I tried to use compile option pch (Precompiled Header) for compile time optimization.
But it seems like armclang (ARM compiler version 6) doesn't support --pch options.
Is there any way to use pch option in armclang? If not, is there any recommended armclang options for compile time optimization?
Hello James,
I found this in some very old documentation for the compiler:https://developer.arm.com/documentation/100066/0600/Compiling-C-and-C---Code/Using-PCH-files-to-reduce-compile-time
and it appears to still work in the latest (6.19) compiler release, at least with a simple test case I tried:
armclang --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -mcpu=cortex-m3 -x c-header my_header.h -o my_header.h.pch armclang --target=arm-arm-none-eabi -mcpu=cortex-m3 -c -g foo.c -include my_header.h
I don't find it mentioned in the latest documentation, but it seems to be a standard feature of clang (from which armclang is derived):https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#using-a-pch-file

Thanks Ronan :)
