Introduction

IAR compilers can be forced to export a list of all diagnostic messages.

Actions

From command line

• Open a command prompt.
• Enter a command line with three parts.
  • First is a reference (for example the icc430.exe in IAR Embedded Workbench for MSP430) to your compiler. (You might have to add the path to the location of the compiler.)
  • Second the option: --diagnostics_tables
  • Third a file name (for example messages.txt ) and here you can/must also add a path so that the file is created where you have permissions to create a file.

So the command line (without paths) looks like:

icc430.exe --diagnostics_tables messages.txt

• The file messages.txt is created in the directory you have pointed out with the path.

In IAR Embedded Workbench

• Open Project > Options > C/C++ compiler > Extra options
• Enable the extra options
• Enter this command line option:

• --diagnostics_tables messages.txt

• the file messages.txt is created in the project directory.
• Remove the command line option, as otherwise the file is generated each time you compile a file.
