Will KDS handle .s ARM assembly code?

nirvanauscn — Thu, 26 Nov 2015 21:16:31 GMT

KDS only handles .asm and .S as valid assembly code files, and the preference is locked and can't be modified or added

(Preference -> General -> Content Types -> Text -> Assembly Source File).

For the projects I'm working on, all assembly files are in .s postfix instead of .S, and KDS just simply ignore them.

Is there a way to add .s support?

Is this a feature or defect?

Only Linux is in real case-sensitive file system, both Windows and OS X (can be case sensitive, but the home drive normally isn't setup that way) are case aware, but not case sensitive.

Thanks

Hi,

I've found the following:

Bug 105022 – [content type] file specs should be case-sensitive

Bug 103530 – managed build: File with capital "S" extension not recognized as assembly

Adding a new File types for .s is not working due to the case sensitive problem.

Now the workaround is to add .s types in the project properties.

Bug 278026 – Managed build doesn't work for *.s assembler files

In the meantime I found a workaround for the problem:

Project Properties -> C/C++ General -> File Types -> Use project settings -> New -> Pattern: *.s, Type: Assembly Source File -> OK

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I've checked it on my side and it's working.

Have a great day,
Pascal

Thanks, adding .s to the project setting addressed the issue.
