#188 Eclipse IDE support

[Rtek1000]

Hi, I'm using Eclipse to compile STM8 through a compile.sh script that executes the Makefile. I tried to install an SDCC extension for Eclipse, but it seems to be very out of date. Would it be possible to update the extension for eclipse?

One thing I would like to be able to see when compiling is memory usage (Flash/RAM).

AFAIK, Code::Blocks has currently the best SDCC support among IDEs.
Personally, I'm too busy working on SDCC itself, so I won't find time for that Eclipse plugin (especially, since I haven't been using Java or Eclipse for about 20 years), but maybe someone else will.
Memory usage can be seen from the .map file that the linker creates. However, the memory use there does not include the stack.

The .map file is too large for a quick memory overview IMHO. But there is also the generated .mem file which holds only the summaries. I usually print it after a linking success.

But since you want SDCC integrated into Eclipse, would that maybe be something that you can pick up yourself?
