Role of the C Compiler in OCDI Debugging (Microprocessor SDK)
The build plug-in VI calls a third-party target-specific compiler for each generated LabVIEW C Code Run-Time Library and external source file. The generated C code contains special comments that help the C parser find the symbols of all controls, signals, and positions of all possible breakpoints in the VI. The C compiler outputs an intermediate object module and a list file. The list file must contain enough information to enable the list parser to translate line numbers of the generated C files into relative symbol offsets. Executing the compiler with the correct debugging and list options is important for generating a list file that the list parser can understand.
 | Note Parsing the list and map files is one way of extracting the necessary information to populate the LVM file. Your toolchain might provide a different way to extract the necessary information. |
