| [cdt-dev] Order of tool invocation |
|
Hi,
The MBS invokes tools in the
correct order, i.e. broadly: compile - <assemble> - link
Apart from these standard tools, my toolchain has
additional tools which should fit
into specific stages of the build
process.
E.g. 'toolABC' builds ".cla" files and generates a
header file <hdr1.h>, which is included in a ".c" file built by the C
compiler tool
The dependency file (.d) generated by the C
compiler handles the .c <-> .h dependencies.
How can I ensure that 'toolABC' is invoked before
the C compiler tool?
Is there an existing class which can be used to
specify/edit the tool invocation order?
Currently, I workaround this by using the
'additionalInput (additionalDependency)' attribute.
But this introduces a huge drawback -
everytime there's a small change in a single .cla file, all .c files are
rebuilt.
This is rather painful when the project is big, and
contains a large number of .c sources.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thankyou,
Delicia.
