This standard interface enable the binaries created by different compilers (that meet the ABI standard) to operate together. For more information about the ABI specification, see <xref scope="external" href="http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/ABI.html">http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/ABI.html</xref>. </p> <p>The Symbian platform build tools define native build targets that use either the ARM's RealView Compilation Tools (RVCT), or the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), known as GCCE. Where, ARM RVCT (<xref scope="external" href="http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/RealViewDevSuite.html">http://www.arm.com/products/DevTools/RealViewDevSuite.html</xref>) is particularly intended for licensees building ROMs for phones. GCCE is delivered on Symbian platform kits, and is also freely available from <xref scope="external" href="http://www.codesourcery.com">http://www.codesourcery.com</xref>. </p> <p>There are two versions of the ARM ABI, referred to as v1 and v2 respectively. RVCT can be used to build for either of these ABI versions, and GCCE can only be used to build for ARM ABI v2. </p> <p>In addition, the toolchain supports building to three versions of the ARM architecture; v5, v6, and v7. See <xref scope="external" href="http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/architecture.html">http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/architecture.html</xref> for details of the ARM architectures. </p> <p>The build targets are intended to generate generic code suitable for execution on processors based on these architectures. The toolchain allows customisation by licensees, for example, in order to target a specific processor more closely: see <xref href="GUID-5B442231-6E71-5F35-A27E-B14AEC2FC105.dita">ARMV5 build customisation</xref>. </p> <p>A summary of the available targets is shown below: </p> <table id="GUID-2FC9F5F7-2EE6-5E78-9BD9-9FB6FD23E7E8"><tgroup cols="4"><colspec colname="col0"/><colspec colname="col1"/><colspec colname="col2"/><colspec colname="col3"/><tbody><row><entry><p> <b>Target name</b>  </p> </entry> <entry><p> <b>Instruction set</b>  </p> </entry> <entry><p> <b>Compiler</b>  </p> </entry> <entry><p> <b>ABI</b>  </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV5</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v5 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 2.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v1 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV5_ABIv2</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v5 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 2.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV6</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v6 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 2.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v1 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV6_ABIv2</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v6 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 2.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV6t2</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v6 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 2.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>ARMV7</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v7 </p> </entry> <entry><p>RVCT 3.1 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>GCCE</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v5 </p> </entry> <entry><p>GCCE 3.4 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>GCCEV6</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v6 </p> </entry> <entry><p>GCCE 3.4 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>GCCEv6t2</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v6 </p> </entry> <entry><p>GCCE 3.4 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <codeph>GCCEv7</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>v7 </p> </entry> <entry><p>GCCE 4.2 </p> </entry> <entry><p>v2 </p> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <p> <b>Notes:</b>  </p> <ul><li id="GUID-0FA4F759-AF53-5012-B918-3DB7BFF079D1"><p>The Symbian platform that you build using RVCT 4.0 provides run-time support for executables built using the RVCT 2.2, RVCT 3.1 and RVCT 4.0 toolchains. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-967925CD-6B72-5EEB-9F7E-774C80F5EEC3"><p>From Symbian OS v9.4 onwards, the target names to build a binary conforming to ABIv2 are <codeph>ARMV5</codeph> and <codeph>ARMV6</codeph>, and for ABIv1 they are <codeph>ARMV5_ABIv1</codeph> and <codeph>ARMV6_ABIv1</codeph>.
