Wind River Compiler 5.8 Evaluation

This evaluation version of Wind River Compiler will give you the opportunity to test drive our industry-leading compiler and optimization technology. Wind River Compiler provides the flexibility and control you need to take advantage of today's complex CPUs. Wind River's relationship with our silicon partners makes it possible for us to provide highly optimized compilers for new silicon with short lead times—thus enabling you to immediately gain maximum performance from your compiler/silicon investment.

Wind River Compiler includes the following programs and utilities:

Driver: Intelligent wrapper program that invokes the compiler, assembler, and linker
Assembler: Macro assembler that is invoked automatically by the driver program or as a complete standalone assembler generating object modules; includes the following key features

Conditional macro assembler with more than 30 directives
Unlimited number of symbols
Debug information for source-level debugging of assembly programs

Linker: Precise control of allocation, placement, and alignment of code and data; includes the following key features

Links object modules into absolute or relocatable modules
Reads/writes/mixes ELF and COFF object files
Generates fully EABI-compliant ELF/DWARF output for tool interoperability

Libraries

Complete re-entrant C libraries compliant with ANSI/ISO, POSIX, and SVID standards
Complete C++ library (STL)
Full complement of math libraries, including IEEE-754 appendix functions
Fast, efficient floating-point libraries

Archiver/librarian: Creation and maintenance of libraries
Instruction set simulator: Simulation of the core instructions of the target processor, allowing it to run C and C++ programs with the simulated environment
Profiler: Profiling options that instrument application code that when executed saves profile information for viewing by the profiler; profile data can be automatically fed back to the compiler for additional code optimization based on execution paths
Object file converter: Conversion routines provided for generating S-Record or IEEE-695 output formats and also provides the following

Symbol table management
Detailed code size reports
C++ symbol name demangler
Munch routine

Documentation: Extensive documentation specific to the chosen architecture, with all manuals available in PDF formats; detailed "Getting Started" manual enables users to get up to speed quickly and enhances the out-of-the-box experience
