A Note on Using the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4
--On Using Custom Placeholders-- |
Please take note of the following problem in using the High-performance Embedded Workshop V.4, an integrated development environment:
- On using custom placeholders
- Versions Concerned
High-performance Embedded Workshop* V.4.00.00 and V.4.00.01
| * |
The High-performance Embedded Workshop is bundled with the software products (a C compiler and others) that support it. |
To check for the version number of your High-performance Embedded Workshop, open the Help menu and select the About High-performance Embedded Workshop command.
- Description
If the name of a custom placeholder* is used as an option parameter of the linker or library generator, the name cannot be converted to the path name at build, which results in an error.
| * |
The steps for defining the name of a custom placeholder are explained below. Such a name that is defined by following these steps can be used as an option parameter, $(PROJDIR), for example. (Here $(PROJDIR) is the name of a placeholder predefined in the High-performance Embedded Workshop). |
| (1) |
Open the Setup menu and select the Customize command. The Customize dialog box appears. |
| (2) |
Click the Placeholders tab; then click the Add button on the right of the Application wide custom placeholders or Workspace wide custom placeholders list box. You see the New Custom Placeholder dialog box. |
| (3) |
In this dialog box, enter an appropriate name and an annotation of the placeholder into the Placeholder and Description text boxes respectively. |
| (4) |
Click the Browse button* and select the directory to associate with the placeholder in the Select Directory dialog box. |
| * |
This button is on the right of the Directory text box in the New Custom Placeholder dialog box. |
- Conditions
This problem occurs if the product concerned is used together with any of the following compiler packages:
| (1) |
C/C++ compiler package for the SuperH RISC engine family |
| (2) |
C/C++ compiler package for H8, H8S, and H8SX families |
| (3) |
C compiler package for the M32R family--M3T-CC32R |
| (4) |
C compiler package for the M32C/90, M32C/80, M16C/80, and M16C/70 series--M3T-NC308WA |
| (5) |
C compiler package for the M16C/60, M16C/30, M16C/20, M16C/10, M16C/Tiny, and R8C/Tiny series--M3T-NC30WA |
| (6) |
C compiler package for the R8C/Tiny series (freeware)--M3T-NC8C* |
| * |
The M3T-NC8C has been merged into the evaluation version of the M3T-NC30WA. If you are using the former, update it to the latter, in which this problem arises, however. |
- Workaround
Don't use the name of any custom placeholder as an option parameter of the linker or library generator.
- Schedule of Fixing the Problem
We plan to fix this problem in the next release of the product.
