  • [SOLVED] Difference between User Include Directories and System Include Directories

    My apologies if this seems like a really simple question, as I am really just now starting to learn about bare metal ARM development. My only other experience was using a pre-created projected template will all the libraries I needed imported already.

    What is the difference between the System Include Directories and the User Include Directories preprocessor settings? From some basic testing I have performed, there does appear to be a slight difference between them, as I get a different number of warnings depending on which directory I included.
  • Hello,

    Thank you for your inquiry.
    The System Include Directories is used to set the path to the stdlib that is supplied with Embedded Studio.
    We recommend not to alter it.
    For any other include paths that are set for external software we recommend to use user include directories.

    Best regards,
    Nino
