Avoiding full path(s) in the output file

Introduction

The output file contain full paths to source files. This is not wanted behaviour.

Comments

The typical reason for this problem is that the application uses the assert macro which in turn uses the macro __FILE__ which expands to the full path of the current file.

Suggestions

• Avoid Assert - By using conditional compilation, assert-messages can be avoided.
  The file "\arm\inc\c\assert.h" uses this construction to avoid assert-messages to be built into the output file/image:

#ifdef NDEBUG
    #define assert(test) ((void)0)

• Exclude path in macros - This can be done by using the command line option :

--no_path_in_file_macros

Add it to "Project > Options > C/C++ Compiler > Extra Options".
