Removing date stamp from obj file and from dwarf out file

jeremie lefrancois

I would like to remove any adte/time from the filmes the compiler /linker generates.

The aim of this is configuartion management : if I create some software from sources extracted from configuration management in the future, I need to check the the out file generated then is the same that the one built when the product was first delivered.

Any option like "link_time=none" ?

There is no link option to zero out the date stamp. But there is a utility named objdiff which can compare .out files and tell you if they are the same. The date (among other things) is ignored when doing this comparison. The utility is one of about 20 in a package named cg_xml. See http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Code_Generation_Tools_XML_Processing_Scripts . Those scripts run from the command line. An additional package http://tiexpressdsp.com/index.php/Code_Generation_Tools_XML_Processing_Scripts_Plug-in_for_CCS allows you to execute the scripts from within CCSv4.

Thanks and regards,
