Describe build tool

Since R2023a

Description

Use a target.BuildTool object to describe a build tool. For example, a compiler, linker, or archiver.

To create a target.BuildTool object, use the target.create function. Create the object in a single step.

buildToolObject = target.create('BuildTool', ... nameOfBuildToolType, ... buildToolCommandString, ... propertyXName, propertyXValue, ... propertyYName, propertyYValue, ... propertyZName, propertyZValue)

nameOfBuildToolType is the name of thetarget.BuildToolType object that you want to specify for theBuildToolType property of buildToolObject. For example 'C Compiler'.

buildToolCommandString is the build tool command, which includes required arguments and flags. For example 'gcc'.

This code snippet shows how you can use atarget.BuildTool object to specify a C compiler that uses command files and generates object files with the .obj extension.

cCompiler = target.create('BuildTool', 'C Compiler', 'gcc', ... 'Name', 'MinGW GCC C Compiler'); cCompiler.setDirective('CommandFile', '@'); cCompiler.setFileExtensions('Object', {'.obj'});
