IAR C/C++ Compilers and Debuggers Overview

IAR Embedded Workbench is a set of development tools for building and debugging embedded applications using assembler, C and C++.

IAR Embedded Workbench provides a completely integrated development environment including a project manager, editor, build tools and debugger. In a continuous workflow, you can create source files and projects, build applications and debug them in a simulator or on hardware.

  • ARM / Cortex-M / Cortex-A / Cortex-R
  • Freescale - S08 / HCS12 / ColdFire
  • Maxim - MAXQ
  • Microchip - AVR / AVR32
  • Renesas - M16C / R8C / 78K / V850 / RL78 / RX

Benefits

IAR Embedded Workbench offers the same intuitive user interface regardless of which microcontroller you have chosen to work with—coupled with general and target-specific support for each device.

Every IAR C/C++ Compiler contains both generic global optimizations as well as low-level chip-specific optimizations that ensure a small code size while taking advantage of all the specific features of your selected device.

Reuse of code and migration to new microcontroller architectures is made easy as each IAR C/C++ Compiler uses the same naming convention.

Whether you have a tight project schedule or are just eager to get started, IAR Embedded Workbench contains configuration files, code examples and template projects to get you going fast.

  •  

    IAR Assembler

  • A powerful relocating macro assembler with a versatile set of directives and operators
  • Built-in language preprocessor, accepting all C macro definitions
  •  


    IAR Linker / IAR XLINK Linker

  • Complete linking, relocation and format generation to produce FLASH/PROMable code
  • Flexible memory handling allows detailed control of code and data placement
  • Optimized linking removing unused code and data
  • Application-wide type checking of C/C++ variables and functions at link time
  • Comprehensive cross-reference and dependancy memoory maps

    Compiler Validation

IAR Systems uses the following commercial test suites to test conformance of tools to the standards:

  • Plum Hall Validation test suite for ISO/IEC C conformance
  • Perennial EC++VS (Embedded C++ validation suite) for Embedded C++ conformance
  • Dinkum C++ Proofer to test how libraries conform to the C and Embedded C++ standard as well as test STL implementation against the C++ standard.

In addition to the commercial suites IAR use several in-house test suites for testing new features, regression testing, corrected errors, etc.
