hello,

What's the recommended way to put a big long XDC path in a file? I've seen
a few diff't ways hence thot I'd ask i.e.

1. TI DM6437 EVM DVSDK CCS 3.3 pjt files use: -
--xdcpathsfile="xdcpaths.dat"
where xdcpaths.dat contains
xdcpaths = "a/packages" + "b/packages" + "";

What's nice here is that cos its Javascript can set a var at top-level and
dodge hardcoded paths

But OTOH --xdcpathsfile is not documented in
http://rtsc.eclipse.org/docs-tip/Command_-_xdc hence is it only a CCS 3.3
Built Tools Interface thing?

2. Use xs @paths.txt
where @paths.txt =

--xdcpath
/all/pkg/paths/in/1/big/long/line

Disadvantage here is hardcoded paths & "1 big long line"

Don't see any options in the BTI in CCSv4 Beta 2.1 for this so not sure
what the recommendation is.

Thanks.

It seems to be, yes. I'm not aware of a --xdcpathsfile option.

Yep, the syntax of "@" files is very primitive and can certainly be
improved.

It is relatively easy to enhance the syntax of the lines supported in
"@" files. One obvious enhancement is to define a '\' at the end of a
line to be a "line continuation" character.

The other enhancement I've always wanted is to support environment
variable expansion. So a line such as "$(TOOLS)/packages" would expand
into the current value of the TOOLS environment variable followed by
"/packages".

Bugzilla enhancement requests are welcome;
