#1254 Pre/Post step in compiler definition

[Yann LEROY]

Hello,

Could it be possible to be able to setup pre/post steps in the Compiler definition, rather that having to duplicate those in each project that use this compiler ?
Use case : I'm using a cross-compiler, and I need to use additional command to upload to the target board. Those lines have currently to be copy/paste in each on my projects using this cross compiler.

Did I missed anything ?

Thanks !

PS: I'm using "Release 20.03 rev 11997 (2020-03-28 13:56:24) gcc 9.3.0 Linux/unicode - 64 bit "

No there are no global post build steps.... But you could create a tool (tool++) and run it by hand,
or you create a project template where the options are already filled out

Yes, tool is an option, but I wish I could avoid adding another step on my build process, to keep it as simple as possible :)
The template is also an option, the issue is that is still end up duplicating the data, and if I want to modify the pre/post step (because I want to improve it or fix it), I should modify it in all the project that use it, instead of simply inheriting that for the compiler... This is what I'm currently doing, but that error prone...
