9 <h2>Trace Compiler</h2> |
|
10 <p>The Trace Compiler is a tool that is attached |
|
11 to the Symbian OS Build System. It is run before the actual C++ compiler. |
|
12 The purpose of Trace Compiler is to generate the needed headers for Open System |
|
13 Traces (OST) traces to compile. Trace Compiler is run when you normally compile |
|
14 your component that has OST traces.</p> |
|
15 <p>When Trace Compiler is run and the project contains OST traces, |
|
16 you should find the following text printed on the <b>Console</b> tab, |
|
17 as in the following example for the <i>HelloWorld</i> component:</p> |
|
18 |
|
19 <pre>perl C:/Symbian/9.3/S60_3rd_FP2/epoc32/tools/tracecompiler.pl WINSCW |
|
20 ******************* TRACECOMPILER STARTS ******************* |
|
21 Building traces for component HelloWorld. Component UID: 0xEAAEC036. |
|
22 ******************* TRACECOMPILER ENDS *********************</pre> |
|
23 |
|
24 <p>After Trace Compiler is run, the needed headers are generated to the <b>traces</b> |
|
25 folder of your component. If you have OST traces in <i>HelloWorld.cpp</i>, |
|
26 the header to be generated is <i>HelloWorldTraces.h</i>, which is included |
|
27 from <i>HelloWorld.cpp</i>.</p> |
|
28 <p><b>Note:</b> If you cannot find the following line or similar when compiling |
|
29 your component, it might be that your SDK does not have Trace Compiler installed:</p> |
