VIM snippets for using the IAR ARM compiler (Embedded Workbench).

*   Various bits were tested either with IAR ARM or IAR MSP430 compilers

## Makefile

*   Call xmlstar from makefile to extract includes and sourcefile list 
*   Alternatively, transform project file to makefile entirely

## Extract source files from IAR project

*   [xmlstarlet][2] 
*   outputs list of all .c and .cpp files included in the project

### Bash version

*   Escaped for direct inclusion in BASH script. 
*   $PROJECT_FILE is .ewp project file 
*   IAR uses standard DOS path separator so use `tr '\\' '/' `

xml sel -t -m '/project/file|/project//group/file' -i "contains(name,'.c') or contains(name,'.cpp')" -v "concat(substring-after(name,'\$PROJ_DIR$\'),'&#10;')" $PROJECT_FILE

[[$[Get Code]]][3]

### DOS batch version

*   Escaped for direct inclusion in DOS batch file. 
*   %PROJECT_FILE% is .ewp project file

xml sel -t -m "/project/file|/project//group/file" -i "contains(name,'.c') or contains(name,'.cpp')" -v "concat(substring-after(name,'$PROJ_DIR$\'),'&#10;')" %PROJECT_FILE%

## Extract include directories from IAR project

### Environment Variables
:   *   PROJ_DIR 
    *   TOOLKIT_DIR

### Extract with xmlstar

*   XPath: /project/configuration(Debug)/settings(ICC430)/option(CCStdIncludePaths|newCCIncludePaths)/state

xml sel -t -m '/project/configuration' -i "contains(name,'Debug')" -m './settings' -i "contains(name,'ICC430')" -m "./data/option" -i "contains(name,'CCStdIncludePaths') or contains(name,'newCCIncludePaths')" -m "state" -v "concat('-I &quot;',.,'&quot; ')"  $PROJECT_FILE

[[$[Get Code]]][8]

## Extract defines from IAR project

xml sel -t -m '/project/configuration' -i "contains(name,'Debug')" -m './settings' -i "contains(name,'ICC430')" -m "./data/option" -i "name='CCDefines'" -m "./state" -v "concat('-D',.,' ')" $PROJECT_FILE

[[$[Get Code]]][9]

## VIM Compiler File

*   Install into .vimfiles/compiler/iar.vim

" ---- Beginning of ${vimfiles}/compiler/iar.vim ----

    if exists("current_compiler")
      finish
    endif
    let current_compiler = "iar"
    
    " errorformat matches errors like:

    "
    " ...
    " Warnings are matched similarly.

## Configure VIM

Set your compiler

`:compiler iar`

vimrc project settings

set path=.,,**,C:\Program\\\ Files\IAR\\\ Systems\Embedded\\\ Workbench\\\ 5.4\430\inc,C:\Program\\\ Files\IAR\\\ Systems\Embedded\\\ Workbench\\\ 5.4\430\inc\dlib

## ToDo

*   more compiler configuration - C99 etc.
