compiler, librarian, and linker are displayed during the build. If the checkbox is disabled,
all these warnings are suppressed.
Generate Debug Information. This checkbox makes the build generate debug informa-
tion that can be used by the debugger to allow symbolic debugging. Enable this option if
you are planning to debug your code using the debugger. The checkbox enables debug
information in the assembler, compiler, and linker.
Enabling this option usually increases your overall code size by a moderate amount for
two reasons. First, if your code makes any calls to the C run-time libraries, the library ver-
sion used is the one that was built using the
Limit Optimizations for Easier Debugging
setting (see the Limit Optimizations for Easier Debugging section on page 52). Second,
the generated code sets up the stack frame for every function in your own program. Many
functions (those whose parameters and local variables are not too numerous and do not
have their addresses taken in your code) would not otherwise require a stack frame in the
ZNEO architecture, so the code for these functions is slightly smaller if this checkbox is
disabled.
The Generate Debug Information checkbox interacts with the Limit Optimizations for
Easier Debugging checkbox on the Code Generation page (see the Limit Optimizations
for Easier Debugging section on page 52). When the Limit Optimizations for Easier
Debugging checkbox is selected, debug information is always generated so that debugging
can be performed. The Generate Debug Information checkbox is grayed out (disabled)
when the Limit Optimizations for Easier Debugging checkbox is selected. If the Limit
Optimizations for Easier Debugging checkbox is later deselected (even in a later ZDS II
session), the Generate Debug Information checkbox returns to the setting it had before
the Limit Optimizations for Easier Debugging checkbox was selected.
Ignore Case of Symbols. When the Ignore Case of Symbols checkbox is enabled, the
assembler and linker ignore the case of symbols when generating and linking code. This
checkbox is occasionally required when a project contains source files with case-insensi-
tive labels. This checkbox is only available for Assembly Only projects with no C code.
Intermediate Files Directory. This directory specifies the location where all intermediate
files produced during the build will be located. These files include make files, object files,
and generated assembly source files and listings that are generated from C source code.
This field is provided primarily for the convenience of users who might want to delete
these files after building a project, while retaining the built executable and other, more
permanent files. Those files are placed into a separate directory specified in the
Output
page (see the Project Settings—Output Page section on page 72).
Project Settings—Assembler Page. In the Project Settings dialog box, select the
Assembler page. The assembler uses the contents of the Assembler page to determine
