--predefine="string"

You specify a preprocessor on the first line of the scatter file.

Restrictions

Use this option with --scatter.

Example scatter file before preprocessing

The following example shows the scatter file contents before preprocessing.

#! armclang -E 
lr1 BASE
{
    er1 BASE
    {
        *(+RO)
    }
    er2 BASE2
    {
        *(+RW+ZI)
    }
}

Use armlink with the command-line options:

--predefine="-DBASE=0x8000" --predefine="-DBASE2=0x1000000" --scatter=filename

This passes the command-line options: -DBASE=0x8000 -DBASE2=0x1000000 to the compiler to preprocess the scatter file.

Example scatter file after preprocessing

The following example shows how the scatter file looks after preprocessing:

lr1 0x8000
{
    er1 0x8000
    {
        *(+RO)
    }
    er2 0x1000000
    {
        *(+RW+ZI)
    }        
}
