About the ARM compiler

The ARM compiler, armcc, is a mature, industrial-strength optimizing C and C++ compiler that compiles Standard C and Standard C++ source code into machine‑code for ARM architecture‑based processors. It complies with the Base Standard Application Binary Interface for the ARM Architecture (BSABI) and generates output objects in an ARM proprietary format with support for DWARF 3 debug tables.

See Chapter 2 Getting started with the ARM Compiler for more information on the ARM compiler.
