Would like to be able to use Build Analyzer.

[Hollies]

I hope to use the same Build Analyzer in VSCode as in the IDE, which allows developers to more clearly see the use of flash and memory. I have tried to use GPT to write a plugin, but the effect is not good, and I don't understand the JS language well, so it is difficult to develop it by myself.

My mother tongue is not English, please forgive me if it is not easy to understand.

If you want to convince (or sponsor) someone to make this tool for VS Code - you're welcome! A good idea.

(but most likely it already exists, because it is based on well known format of linker .map file, maybe .ld files too).

[Hollies]

Yes, it parses the map file format, but I haven't found anything like it in the extension marketplace, nor any relevant content through search engines. Perhaps reverse-engineering the official Java plugin could be an option, but I haven't learned Java yet either.

Hi!

I also lack this functionality a lot in VS Code.

Any news regarding recommended extensions etc?

Thanks

[Hollies]

I don't have any new information.

Perhaps there are fewer people using VS Code for this specific purpose.

Hi! I started using VSCode as an alternative to CubeIDE and came across this topic while looking for a build analyzer for VSCode. I’m young and inexperienced, so the idea of creating my own plugin for VSCode doesn’t scare me yet. Were you able to achieve much? Maybe I don’t need to start from scratch?

[Pavel A.]

Just use CubeIDE or other IDE that has the analyzer ready, and be happy?

A lot of open-source VS code extensions exist,  one can peruse any of these for a prototype.

Update: Build analyzer will come during 2025 Q1/Q2. It works internally already.
But due to architectural changes and legal constraints we cannot deploy it yet.

Thank you so much for your efforts.

At the moment I have this. What do you think?
