Hi!


I am trying to set up automatic external linting as part of a CI pipeline, using PClint plus, that will run post build.


To do this i need to produce a lnt file that has paths to all the files, the variable sizes, definitions etc.


Using the external tools configuration for linting, as described here: studio.segger.com/index.htm?ht…nal_tools_file_format.htm, the below macros are expanded, which produce all the information i need. These are the default macros for linting, and the linter works inside SES.


-v -incvar(__CW_ARM) -i$(LINTDIR)/lnt co-gcc.lnt $(DEFINES) $(INCLUDES) -D__GNUC__ -u -b +macros +macros -w2 -e537 +fie +ffn -width(0,4) -hF1 "-format=%f:%l:%C:\s%t:\s%m [-e%n]" "$(InputPath)"


However, when i run a python script as part of a pre or post build command, these macros are not expanded.


This python script (dump_parameters.py) saves all the parameters fed into it as a text file so i can see what the arguments being passed into the program are. Attached is a side-by-side comparison of the output of the same scripts called from the external tools XML command (LEFT) and the pre-build command (RIGHT). The XML command expands the macros but the pre-build command doesn't.


What am i doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi Nino,

Thanks for your response!

I have had this problem on versions 6.2 and 5.7a of SES. When i check that dropdown menu, there is no option for include or define macros (as shown in pictures). These macros aren't there in both pre-build and post-build command menus. This is the same in both my project and the example project i've tried (ble_app_blinky_pca10056_s140).

I've included the list of available macros from the dropdown if that helps!

Thanks,
Ed
