Solved: Re: ARM6 Compiler Support - STMicroelectronics Community

Hello,

I tried to port an TouchGFX-Application from ARM5-Compiler (ARMCC) to ARM6 (ARMCLANG). Both compilers are from KEIL (µVision).

Well it does compile, but it doesn't link:

Warning: L6869W: abstractpainter.o requested the Rogue Wave Standard C++ Library which has been removed from the product. This might cause link errors because libc++ is used instead.

Error: L6242E: Cannot link object abstractshape.o as its attributes are incompatible with the image attributes.

(There are a lot more linker errors)

I do believe the provided TouchGFX-Library is not compatible with ARMCLANG (and there is no other library supplied in ...\TouchGFX\4.10.0\touchgfx\lib\core\cortex_m7\Keil)

Is that the case, or did I miss something else?

Hi @PBull,

You're correct - We do not provide an ARMCLANG compatible library.

Edit: I created one anyway here, for Cortex-M7.

http://sw-center-st-com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/touchgfx/TouchGFX/Patches/4.13.0/touchgfx_core_clang.zip

Edit 11/06/2020: ARMCLANG support will be out for 4.14.0 which we're working on now. This release will also see an ARMCLANG lib for Cortex-M33.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi @Martin KJELDSEN

Any news on this?

No news. As in, it's not a priority at the moment.

Adding my two cents:

ARMCC is no longer being actively developed by Keil.

It contains many features of C++11, but the STL is still C++03 (so no std::array etc ...).

ARMCLANG supports newer C++ standards.

If your project depends on the middleware from Keil, you are stucked to ARMCC, because of TouchGFX (Lib).

I would like to see it on the roadmap.

Best regards,

Peter

My words exactly.

And we would like to develop a new product, but not with an old compiler...

So, I also would like to see it on the roadmap.

I agree. You're not alone. It takes about 1 minute to produce such a lib for me (in theory) - I will check to see if i can release it as a "patch".

That would be super great and much appreciated.:folded_hands:
