The GCCXML build target generates an XML description of the project and +the program. This XML is intended to be parsed by other development and program +analysis tools. The XML is generated using the GCC-XML (http://www.gccxml.org) tool, which is distributed +on kits in the epoc32\tools\ directory.

+

To execute a GCCXML build, use the abld command as +follows:

+

abld build gccxml [udeb/urel]

+

GCCXML is available as a target for all projects that can be built for +an ARM target (this is assumed by the build tools unless the bld.inf file +specifies otherwise with a prj_platforms statement.)

+

The build of a Symbian platform component for the GCCXML platform results +in three actions:

+
    +
  1. The GCC-XML tool is +called on each source file used in the build of a component's binary. An XML +file is output as a result.

    The GCC-XML output format is not yet extensively +documented: see http://www.gccxml.org/HTML/FAQ.html for +the latest information.

  2. +
  3. The tool chain also +generates an XML file describing some elements of the component's .mmp file.

    The +XML format is described below.

  4. +
  5. The tool chain packages +the output from steps 1 and 2 into a zip file named <project-name>.gxp. +The file is stored in epoc32\release\gccxml\[udeb|urel]\.

  6. +
+
Format of <project>.mmp.xml

A GCCXML build creates +an XML representation of the project's mmp file named <project>.mmp.xml. +Not all the mmp file statements are represented in the XML.

The following +XML elements and attributes are used:

+ + + +

Element

+

Attribute

+

Description

+
+ +

mmpInfo

+

+

Top-level wrapper element

+
+ +

mmp

+

path

+

Full path of the .mmp file

+
+ +

target

+

name

+

TARGET statement value

+
+ +

+

type

+

TARGETTYPE statement value

+
+ + +

path

+

TARGETPATH statement value

+
+ +

abi

+

type

+

Deduced ABI e.g. ARM4

+
+ +

linkas

+

name

+

LINKAS statement value

+
+ +

uids

+

u0

+

1st UID of the executable

+
+ +

+

u1

+

2nd UID of the executable (from the UID statement)

+
+ +

+

u2

+

3rd UID of the executable (from the UID statement)

+
+ +

defFile

+

path

+

Full path of the .def file

+
+ +

libs

+

+

Wrapper for lib elements that describe the libraries the project +links to

+
+ +

lib

+

name

+

Name of the library

+
+ +

+

type

+

For standard libraries specified by the LIBRARY keyword +this is not used.

For a stub library inserted by the build processor, +this is "First".

For libraries specified by the ASSPLIBRARY statement, +this is "ASSP".

Note: "ASSP" is applicable only for Symbian +platform versions prior to v9.1. Since v9.1, it is not a valid library type.

For +libraries specified by the STATICLIBRARY statement, this +is "Static".

+
+ +

sourceFile

+

name

+

Source file name

+
+ + +

path

+

Path to the source file

+
+ + +

The population of some of attributes is dependent on the type and +format of the component being built.
