Make/Build Function

This section explains the make/build function of SOFTUNE Workbench.

■ Make Function

Make function generates a target file by compiling/assembling only updated source files from all source files
registered in a project, and then joining all required object files.
This function allows compiling/assembling only the minimum of required files. The time required for
generating a target file can be sharply reduced, especially, when debugging.
For this function to work fully, the dependence between source files and include files should be accurately
grasped. To do this, SOFTUNE Workbench has a function for analyzing include dependence. To perform this
function, it is necessary to understand the dependence of a source file and include file. SOFTUNE
Workbench has the function for analyzing the include file dependence. For details, see Section "1.5 Include
Dependencies Analysis Function".
■ Build Function
Build function generates a target file by compiling/assembling all source files registered with a project,
regardless of whether they have been updated or not, and then by joining all required object files. Using this
function causes all files to be compiled/assembled, resulting in the time required for generating the target file
longer. Although the correct target file can be generated from the current source files.
The execution of Build function is recommended after completing debugging at the final stage of program
development.
Note:
When executing the Make function using a source file restored from backup, the integrity between an
object file and a source file may be lost. If this happens, executing the Build function again.
