ARM v6 Compiler (-compiler armclang)

Specify ARM v6 compiler

Description

Specify armclang for the Compiler (-compiler) option if you compile your code with a ARM v6 compiler. By specifying your compiler, you can avoid compilation errors from syntax that is not part of the Standard but comes from language extensions.

Then, specify your target processor type. If you select armclang for Compiler, in the user interface of the Polyspace^® desktop products, you see only the processors allowed for a ARM v6 compiler. Your choice of target processor determines the size of fundamental data types, the endianness of the target machine, and certain keyword definitions.

If you specify the armclang compiler, you must specify the path to your compiler header files. See Provide Standard Library Headers for Polyspace Analysis.

Settings

The targets use these default sizes in bits for the fundamental types. You do not see these sizes in the user interface of the Polyspace desktop products.

Target	char	short	int	long	long long	float	double	long double	ptr	Default sign of char	Endianness	Alignment	Definition of size_t	Definition of wchar_t
arm	8	16	32	32	64	32	64	64	32	unsigned	Little	64	unsigned int	unsigned int
arm64	8	16	32	64	64	32	64	128	64	unsigned	Little	128	unsigned long	unsigned int

Your compiler specification also determines the values of many compiler-specific macros. In case you want to know how Polyspace defines a specific macro, use the option -dump-preprocessing-info.

• To override the macro definition, use the option Preprocessor definitions (-D).

• To undefine a macro, use the option Disabled preprocessor definitions (-U).
