Thanks, Sanchali.
After investigating, I figured out the the order of
tool invocation is
primarily decided by the order of 'inputType'
elements to the target tool (linker in this case).
The order of adding tools in the toolchain reflects
in the 'project->properties'

Delicia.

Hi Delicia,
I think you will have
to extend MBS using extension
point
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions and keep rest
of
classes same and add your tool (toolABC) to it. You will have to
add
this tool before the compiler so that the MakeFileGenerator will
create
a new target for your .cla
files.

[cdt-dev] Order of tool invocation
Hi,
The MBS
invokes tools in the correct order, i.e. broadly: compile
-
<assemble> - link
Apart from these standard tools, my
toolchain has additional tools which
should fit into specific stages of the
build process.
E.g. 'toolABC' builds ".cla" files and generates a
header file <hdr1.h>,
which is included in a ".c" file built by the C
compiler tool
The dependency file (.d) generated by the C compiler handles
the .c <->.h dependencies.
How can I ensure that 'toolABC' is
invoked before the C compiler tool?
Is there an existing class which can be
used to specify/edit the tool
invocation order?
Currently, I
workaround this by using the 'additionalInput(additionalDependency)'
attribute.
But this introduces a huge drawback - everytime there's a small
change
in a single .cla file, all .c files are rebuilt.
This is rather
painful when the project is big, and contains a large
number of .c
sources.
Any help would be
appreciated.
Thankyou,
Delicia.
