Instructions for integrating iASL compiler into MS VC++ 6.0 environment.
|
|
|
|
Part 1. Integration as a custom tool
|
|
|
|
This procedure adds the iASL compiler as a custom tool that can be used
|
|
to compile ASL source files. The output is sent to the VC output
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
a) Select Tools->Customize.
|
|
|
|
b) Select the "Tools" tab.
|
|
|
|
c) Scroll down to the bottom of the "Menu Contents" window. There you
|
|
will see an empty rectangle. Click in the rectangle to enter a
|
|
name for this tool.
|
|
|
|
d) Type "iASL Compiler" in the box and hit enter. You can now edit
|
|
the other fields for this new custom tool.
|
|
|
|
e) Enter the following into the fields:
|
|
|
|
Command: C:\Acpi\iasl.exe
|
|
Arguments: -e "$(FilePath)"
|
|
Initial Directory "$(FileDir)"
|
|
Use Output Window <Check this option>
|
|
|
|
"Command" must be the path to wherever you copied the compiler.
|
|
"-e" instructs the compiler to produce messages appropriate for VC.
|
|
Quotes around FilePath and FileDir enable spaces in filenames.
|
|
|
|
f) Select "Close".
|
|
|
|
These steps will add the compiler to the tools menu as a custom tool.
|
|
By enabling "Use Output Window", you can click on error messages in
|
|
the output window and the source file and source line will be
|
|
automatically displayed by VC. Also, you can use F4 to step through
|
|
the messages and the corresponding source line(s).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Part 2. Integration into a project build
|
|
|
|
This procedure creates a project that compiles ASL files to AML.
|
|
|
|
a) Create a new, empty project and add your .ASL files to the project
|
|
|
|
b) For all ASL files in the project, specify a custom build (under
|
|
Project/Settings/CustomBuild with the following settings (or similar):
|
|
|
|
Commands:
|
|
c:\acpi\libraries\iasl.exe -vs -vi "$(InputPath)"
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
$(InputDir)\$(InputPath).aml
|
|

Compiler Generation From Source
|
|
|
|
Generation of the ASL compiler from source code requires these items:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required Tools
|
|
1) The Flex (or Lex) lexical analyzer generator.
|
|
2) The Bison (or Yacc) parser generator.
|
|
3) An ANSI C compiler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required Source Code.
|
|
|
|
There are three major source code components that are required to
|
|
generate the compiler:
|
|
|
|
1) The ASL compiler source.
|
|
2) The ACPI CA Core Subsystem source. In particular, the Namespace Manager
|
|
component is used to create an internal ACPI namespace and symbol table,
|
|
and the AML Interpreter is used to evaluate constant expressions.
|
|
3) The Common source for all ACPI components.
