Asm files in SN

Asm files in SN

[leonp]

Hello, all.
	First of all I want to thank Cygnus for the great product.
	Next, I have a small problem with my Linux installation: I created the 
project which contains files of type *.S - assembler. When I tried to add 
this files to my target, this didn't work. I was able to add type ASM to 
build rules in .cfg file, but no more than that.
	Thanks ahead.

Hi Leon,

   	Next, I have a small problem with my Linux installation: I
   created the project which contains files of type *.S - assembler. When
   I tried to add this files to my target, this didn't work. I was able
   to add type ASM to build rules in .cfg file, but no more than that.

Note that the assembly language parser is specifically for PowerPC assembly
language.  It may not manage to detect anything useful in assembly files for
other targets.  It's possible to generate your own, if you really want to.

What kind of asm files are you trying to parse?

Cheers, Ben

I would appreciate if we can propose a whish list and future
development features list, with desirable/important/urgent comments.

What is S-N, what features we do not want.
What we do not want Source-Navigator to become.

Thank you for reply.
My case is exactly PowerPC  CPU.
But my question is not exactly about the parser (which, as I understand, 
allows me to parse source code), but about more simple thing - I want to 
build my target, which depends on several asm and C files. My attempt to 
add an asm file to the target in the Tools->Build Settings->Source 
Files->Add files does nothing, totally ignoring my asm files.
Many thanks again.

I would be happy to collect issues and centralize them into a web page, and 
put an ascii version of it in snavigator/TODO.
