ARM: How to get project name for preprocessor

That will work only by you passing the project name to the preprocessor yourself. I.e. you will have to add something like

-D PROJECT_NAME=something

to the compiler options in project setup. You may want to to supply a default definition before you use this, e.g. in the source, do:

#ifndef PROJECT_NAME
#define PROJECT_NAME unknown
#endif

Hi,

Right now I've just workaround it like you wrote, but I want to do this more automatically.

P.S.
Maybe is some way to get "Target name" for instance.

Cheers.

That will work only by ...

Why do people say stupid things such as that?

An alternative to the only way might be to do the following:

In the Project->Options->User->Run User Programs Before Build/Rebuild add a command of:

PreProcess.Bat @L

Have a batch file in your project directory (with the name PreProcess.Bat) that contains:

echo #define PROJECT_NAME %1 >MyProjectName.H

Now, just include that header into your code and bam.

You might like to tinker with it, but I think it shows the basic principle.

Thanks Kevin,

It's better solution than nothing ;)
By the way, maybe you know when I can find list all preprocesor macros for Keil of course (like "__DATE__") ?

Cheers.

"...where I can find..." of course ;)

I'm not going to be so stupid as to say "the only place to get the information is ..." ;)

Really, a good place to start your search will be the compiler manual. There must surely be a list included.

Don't get me wrong - I always trying to find something alone. I don't like to bother anybody.
In this matter I've found only this:
www.keil.com/.../c51_pp_predefmacroconst.htm

I just ask maybe you know something more than that.

Cheers.

Your link isn't applicable since it's for C51 and you have specified the ARM architecture.

This link might be more relevant:
www.keil.com/.../armcc_pge1397113341080.htm

Yes you have right. This is more valid list for predefined macros for Keil ARM compiler.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi Kevin, In the Project->Options->User->Run User Programs Before Build/Rebuild add a command of:
PreProcess.Bat "@L"

Could you help tell me why the file "MyProjectName.h" is not created?

[Build Message]

I didn't notice any mention from you for the other step I gave:

Have a batch file in your project directory (with the name PreProcess.Bat) that contains:

echo #define PROJECT_NAME %1 >MyProjectName.H

Hi Kevin, When I search the file 'MyProjectName.H' in my working HDD, I found it is already created in project folder. Thanks for your help.

Hi Kevin, How do I get the output folder by using Key Sequence for Tool Parameters of Keil/MDK. For example, @L denote Linker output file name without extension. BlackSu

How do I get the output folder by using Key Sequence for Tool Parameters of Keil/MDK

I always find the manual a good place to start:

Hi Kevin,
I knew this link. But I can't find any key sequences for get output folder. Thanks for your help

I got it.
