C Preprocessing in ARM Assembler 6

Seng Tak GOH

I am trying to pre-process a header file written in C syntax, as an include in my device startup assembly file.

Snippets of the Assembly file:

#include "mcu_powers_preprocessed_macros.h"
Stack_Size      EQU     STACK_SIZE
                AREA    STACK, READWRITE, ALIGN=3
Stack_Mem       FILL    Stack_Size,WATERMARK_PATTERN,4   ;defined in Assembler preprocessor MACRO

It used to work with arm assembler 5.

I have included the following options in the assembler Misc Controls field :

--cpreproc --cpreproc_opts=-xc

And the resulting Assembler control string looks like:

--cpu Cortex-M4.fp -g --cpreproc --cpreproc_opts=-xc --cpreproc_opts=--target=arm-arm-none-eabi --cpreproc_opts=-mcpu=cortex-m4 --cpreproc_opts=-mfpu=fpv4-sp-d16 --cpreproc_opts=-mfloat-abi=hard --cpreproc_opts=-D__UVISION_VERSION="526" --cpreproc_opts=-D_RTE_ --cpreproc_opts=-DSTM32F407xx --cpreproc_opts=-D__UVISION_VERSION="526" --cpreproc_opts=-D_RTE_ --cpreproc_opts=-DSTM32F407xx

--pd "__UVISION_VERSION SETA 526"
--pd "_RTE_ SETA 1"
--pd "STM32F407xx SETA 1"
--list .\Listings\*.lst --xref -o .\Objects\*.o

The Assembler generated the following warnings:

I think the header file hasn't been pre-processed correctly. What am I doing wrongly?

Appreciate your advice.

    as written here developer.arm.com/.../command-line-options-for-preprocessing-assembly-source-code , you need to take care if the file extension of your assembly code file is with *.s or *.S, when you need preprocessing in armclang

    HI Tang,

    Thanks that helps!

    Actually I tried to rename the extension before wring the first thread post, but the case was reverted back immediately to lower case...so I thought that may not be allowed.

    After reading your reply, I had to do the following to make it work, because my .S was generated by the MDK Run-Time Environment Manager.

    1. Copy the file to other location
    2. rename .s to .S
    3. uncheck the startup code generation in Run-Time Environment Manager
    4. Include the .S file in other directory node.

    It worked...but due to some dependancy issue in Run-Time Environment Manager, it automatically added .s and .c start-up files into the Device directory, after closing and restarting the project.

    So to make it work I have to uncheck all the related options in my Run-Time Environment Manager...kind of messing up the original work...
