Why were the arm syscalls removed XDC Tools v3.25.05.94? [message #1232895]

In XDC Tools v3.25.03.72 there were several syscall definitions in gnu.targets.arm/syscalls.c, but all of them except _exit are no longer there in v3.25.05.94. The linker (arm-none-eabi-) complains about undefined _kill and _getpid. A workaround is to define those in the application source (by copying from syscalls.c in the previous version of XDC Tools).

What's the rationale for the change and what's a *good* way to adapt the application?

Hi Alexie,

You can link with one of the BSP libraries that are shipped with GNU tools - libnosys.a or librdimon.a (if semi-hosting is enabled).

The syscalls lib present in older xdctools was identical to libnosys.a in GNU tools and so we decided to get rid of our syscalls lib in favor of using the BSP libraries from the tools.

We still have _exit syscall as there is a bug in CCS semihost support because of which it does not support semi-hosted _exit() call. Once that is fixed, we will remove _exit() also and get rid of syscalls.c from gnu targets.

Best,
Ashish
