How to use armclang.exe instead of armasm.exe

[DanielFuchsParticipant]

Hi,

we are using KEIL MDK 5.33 PRO, VisualGDB 5.5R4 (build 3920) and Visual Studio 2019 Pro at the moment.

For testing i’ve build an project via the “Embedded Project Wizard” for a STM32H743XIH6 and copied our existing files. Our startup-code is in a assembler file with gnu syntax and so i would like to use armclang.exe for it.

Our toolchain is “Keil ARMClang (Stand-alone) Version 6.15”.

How can i tell VisualGDB to use armclang.exe instead of the legacy armasm.exe?

Kind regards

Daniel

Hi,

No problem, please try this build: VisualGDB-5.5.104.3944.msi

You can now configure VisualGDB to treat assembly files as C files (i.e. pass them to armclang.exe and not remove C/C++-specific flags) by adding the following element inside a relevant PropertyGroup in your .vcxproj file:

C++

<TreatAssemblyFilesAsCFiles>true</TreatAssemblyFilesAsCFiles>

1	<TreatAssemblyFilesAsCFiles>true</TreatAssemblyFilesAsCFiles>

Hi,

that’s a nice solution. The complete code compiles 🙂
Now i have to test the different debug probes we have.

Thank you for your quick help!

Kind regards
Daniel
