製品・統合開発環境

Parallel build

IAR Embedded Workbench can now build projects using multiple parallel processes. This can improve build performance significantly on multi-core or multiple processor computers. 

C-SPY debugger improvements

• There is now a search box in the C-SPY Register window for finding a specific register.
• It is now possible to sort the entries in the C-SPY Statics window by clicking on the respective column header.
• If a selection is made in the C-SPY Memory window, then the Find and Replace context menu commands now operate just on this selection.
• The new C-SPY macro __MessageBoxYesNo displays a Yes/Cancel dialog box and returns the user input. Typically, this can be useful for creating macros that require user interaction.

Building all configurations with iarbuild

By specifying a wildcard character (*) as the configuration name, it is now possible to clean/build/make all configurations defined in the project file by calling iarbuild.exe only once.

Control of optimized DLIB library functions

Some of the DLIB libraries delivered with the product now contain optimized variants, such as a small integer division routine for Cortex-M0, or a fast strcpy implementation for cores that support the Thumb-2 ISA. The compiler and linker will automatically select the variant that matches the optimization goal. It is possible to override this selection by using the option --use_optimized_variants. See user guide corrections for more information.

CMSIS-DAP v2

The debugger now supports the latest CMSIS-DAP standard with WinUSB transfer mode resulting in faster debug experiences when using CMSIS-DAP v2 compliant boards.

Support for new devices

Support for new devices from Ambiq, Cypress, Microchip, NXP, Qorvo.

Updated IDE look and feel

The IDE has new artwork, enhancements to window management and docking, customizable toolbars, revised Information Center, and new tutorials.

Support for the C11 language standard

The compiler and libraries add support for the latest C language standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011.

Support for the C++14 language standard

The compiler and libraries now support the latest C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014.

Unicode support

The Unicode standard for consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text is now supported. This means that you can use Unicode characters (alphabetic, numeric, symbols, emoji, etc) in the source code.

Stack usage analysis

With stack usage analysis enabled, a stack usage section will be added to the linker map file with listings of the maximum stack depth for each call graph root. The analysis process can be customized to take into account such constructs as calls via function pointers and recursion. The output can optionally be generated in XML format for post-processing activities.

Stack protection

The IAR C/C++ compiler for RH850 now supports stack protection. A canary value will be placed between the stack variables and the return address so that the system can detect corruption of a function return address before the function returns to that address. The compiler will use heuristic to determine whether a function needs stack protection or not. If any defined local variable has the array type or a structure type that contains a member of array type, the function will need stack protection.

Renesas Smart Configurator included

Renesas Smart Configurator is a standalone tool for automatically generating control programs (device driver programs) for peripheral modules in accordance with settings. It fully supports code generation for IAR Embedded Workbench for RH850 and the generated modules are incorporated via the IAR Project Connection mechanism.

Enhanced Registers and Symbols windows in C-SPY

The C-SPY Symbols and Registers windows have been re-designed with new features. The Symbols window now has a filtering function and a new column displaying to which program module a certain symbol belongs. Some of the new features in the Registers window are drag-and-drop support from source code windows, detailed register tool-tip information, and improved handling of user-defined registers groups.

C-STAT MISRA C

The MISRA C 2004 package in C-STAT has been updated with about 20 new checks, some of which are enabled by default.

Support for the C11 language standard

The compiler and libraries add support for the latest C language standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011.

Support for the C++14 language standard

The compiler and libraries now support the latest C++ standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014.

Unicode support

The Unicode standard for consistent encoding, representation, and handling of text is now supported. This means that you can use Unicode characters (alphabetic, numeric, symbols, emoji, etc) in the source code.

IDE performance improvements

General improvements of the IDE startup time and overall performance.

E2 emulator support

C-SPY now supports the Renesas E2 Lite on-chip debugging emulator. 

Stack protection

The IAR C/C++ compiler for RX now supports stack protection. A canary value will be placed between the stack variables and the return address so that the system can detect corruption of a function return address before the function returns to that address. The compiler will use heuristic to determine whether a function needs stack protection or not. If any defined local variable has the array type or a structure type that contains a member of array type, the function will need stack protection. See the IAR C/C++ Development Guide for more information.

C-STAT MISRA C

The MISRA C:2004 package in C-STAT has been updated with about 20 new checks, some of which are enabled by default. 

Updated user documentation

The Assembler User Guide and IAR C/C++ Development Guide have been updated to reflect the product changes.

Improved multicore support

The multicore implementation has been redesigned. It is now easier to setup and configure multicore debug sessions. The debugger can now more easily cope with startup and sleep scenarios where cores are inactive.

Arm Cortex-M23/-M33 project setup

You can now select secure or non-secure setup in the project options. In previous releases this had to be done using Extra Options.

New CMSIS-Pack implementation

The CMSIS-Pack implementation is now based on the CMSIS-Pack Eclipse plugin from Arm.

Extended support for Arm ACLE

The language support now adds extended support for the Arm ACLE (Arm Compiler Language Extensions)

C++17 features

The compiler adds support for the following C++17 features:

• Over-aligned memory allocation
• Compile-time if
• Portable feature test macros
• Fold expressions for variadic templates
• Inline variables
• Initializers in if and switch statements
• Structured binding declarations
• __has_include

Digital state display for Texas Instruments CC devices

C-SPY can now display digital state information from the device in the Timeline window and the State Log window for the Texas Instruments devices CC1350, CC2650, CC2640R2F and the CC13x2/CC26x2 device family.

New device support

Debug communication logging

It is now possible to log the debug communication towards the msp430.dll.

Custom JTAG lock key

For MSP430F5xx/6xx devices, you can now set a custom password.

New text editor and source browser

A new text editor and source browser are introduced in this version. The new features include auto completion, parameter hint, code folding, block select, block indent, bracket matching, zoom and word/paragraph navigation. The new source browser adds features like Go to Declaration and Find All References to symbols.

New licensing management system (LMS) introduced

The new LMS used with this release introduces new features like commuter licenses, automatic license activation and support for virtual servers.

Custom SFR window

It is now possible to define custom SFR's (special function registers) in C-SPY with selectable access size and type.

Call Graph window

A new Call Graph window has been added. It is browsable and displays all calls made to and from each function from any source file in the active project.

Macro Quicklaunch window

The new Macro Quicklaunch window makes it possible to evaluate expressions and to launch C-SPY macros. The return value from the evaluated macro or expression is shown in a separate column and the user can re-trigger the evaluation at any given point.
