ARM 官网上除了提供了配套 IDE（参考博文《ARM 之 各集成开发环境（IDE）说明（Keil、RVDS、ADS、DS-5、MDK）》） 以外，每次都会提供编译器的独立下载。用户可以单独安装编译器，编译器采用命令行形式使用。
也就是说，ARM 的 IDE 和编译器是相互独立的，使用者可以为同一个 IDE 配置不同版本的编译器！目前，ARM 官方提供两个版本的编译器，如下图所示：
其中，Arm Compiler 6 被 ARM 称为是 Arm Compiler 5 的替代者！相比于 Arm Compiler 5 的使用的 Edison Design Group 编译器前端，Arm Compiler 6 将编译器前端换为了基于 LLVM 的 Clang！
在 ARM 官网的介绍中，有如下一段话
General update releases on the last branch, version 5.06, ended in H2 2017 with 5.06u6. After this, further support and maintenance will be available through Arm Compiler Long Term Maintenance releases with maintenance continuing until at least summer 2020. Arm Compiler 5.06 for Certification and Arm Compiler 5.06 Long Term Maintenance releases will each be supported by an Arm Compiler Qualification Kit.
大意就是，Arm Compiler 5 以后就要退出舞台了！在 ARM 内核的支持上，Arm Compiler 6 也要比 Arm Compiler 5 完善的多！目前，ARM 官方的 IDE 都会包含这两个版本的编译器。例如，在 Keil MDK 的安装目录下面会有如下两个目录，分别对应了 Arm Compiler 5 和 Arm Compiler 6
上面说了，以上编译器 ARM 也提供独立下载安装，具体见上文的官网地址即可！我本身安装了多个版本的 ARM编译器，如下：
Edison Design Group 是一家公司，靠卖产品给卖编译器的公司生存，它卖的是前端，包括 C++、Java 和 Fortran 前端，全世界几乎所有商用编译器，都会用这家公司的前端。最重要的，这家公司只有 5 个人。这五个人依次是：Mike Miller, Daveed Vandevoorde, Steve Adamczyk, John Spicer, Mike Herricl。Daveed Vandevoorde 写过两本书《C++ Templates》和《C++ Solutions》，Mike Miller是C++专家，实现部分C++的功能。Mike Herrick在Bell实验室呆了19年。Steve Adamczyk 和 John Spicer 是 EDG 的创建者。
在最早期，ARM 的编译器也是随 IDE 发布的，如 ADS 时代！

IAR
相比于 ARM 对于编译器的灵活安装，IAR 的编译器则只跟随其 IDE 发布，编译器不独立提供。IAR 安装后，目录就是下面这个样子了：
我们可以手动提取其编译器，来作为命令行工具使用。但是对于 IAR 还是不建议这么用，个人感觉 IAR 在设计时，估计没考虑过让用户使用命令行模式来独立使用编译套件，因为其编译套件和其他好多东西都放在了一个目录中，不像ARM 将编译套件独立存放。
但是，IAR 的编译套件是支持命令行使用的 ，在其介绍文档中有这么一句话：The compiler, assembler, and linker can also be run from a command line environment,if you want to use them as external tools in an already established project environment. 官方的介绍文档主要就是《 IAR C/C++ Development Guide Compiling and Linking》。
IAR 我用的比较少，主要内容来自于官方文档。管方文档更加详细，如有疑问直接去官方文档查看即可！官方文档目录为
IAR安装目录armdoc
。具体如下：
《 IAR C/C++ Development Guide Compiling and Linking》，文档名为 EWARM_DevelopmentGuide.ENU.pdf
这个是 IAR 的汇编语言的编译器。官方文档是这么介绍的：The IAR Assembler for Arm is a powerful relocating macro assembler with a versatile set of directives and expression operators. The assembler features a built-in C language preprocessor and supports conditional assembly. 大意就是：IAR Assembler for Arm 是一个功能强大的重定位宏汇编程序，具有多种指令和表达式运算符。汇编程序具有内置的 C 语言预处理程序，并支持条件汇编。该工具官方有个独立的说明文档《IAR Assembler Reference Guide》，里面有该工具的详细使用说明。

IDE中有两个工具可将应用程序源文件转换为中间文件目标文件。IAR C / C ++编译器和IAR汇编器。两者都产生行业标准格式ELF中的可重定位目标文件，包括DWARF调试信息的格式。下图显示了编译过程：
ilinkarm.exe
这个是 IAR 的连接器。官方文档是这么介绍的：The IAR ILINK Linker for Arm is a powerful, flexible software tool for use in the development of embedded controller applications. It is equally well suited for linking small, single-file, absolute assembler programs as it is for linking large, relocatable input, multi-module, C/C++, or mixed C/C++ and assembler programs.
大意就是：IAR ILINK Linker for Arm 是一款功能强大，灵活的软件工具，可用于嵌入式控制器应用程序的开发。它同样适用于链接小型，单文件，绝对汇编程序，因为它用于链接大型可重定位输入，多模块，C/C++ 或混合 C/ C++ 和汇编程序。??ilinkarm 使用并生成行业标准的 ELF 和 DWARF 作为对象格式文件。在.armconfig目录下，包含了针对各平台的连接器使用的配置文件。

GCC for ARM
GCC 原名为 GNU C 语言编译器（GNU C Compiler），因为它原本只能处理 C 语言。不过，后来 GCC 被进行了扩展，变得可处理 C++。后来又扩展能够支持更多编程语言，如 Fortran、Pascal、Objective-C、Java、Ada、Go 以及各类处理器架构上的汇编语言等，所以改名 GNU 编译器套件（GNU Compiler Collection）。更名之后，原来的针对于 C 语言的编译器名字还叫 gcc，针对 C++ 的编译器叫做 g++ 。
GCC for ARM（这个名字是我自己起的，用来代指所有基于 GCC 的针对 ARM 平台的编译套件） 是基于 GCC 开发的，用来编译生成 ARM 内核可执行文件的编译套件，也叫 ARM 交叉编译工具链。 相比于以上两个巨贵的编译器，GCC for ARM 因为是基于开源的 GCC 的，因此是免费的。目前主要由三大主流工具商提供，第一是 ARM，第二是 Codesourcery，第三是 Linora。目前我们用的针对 ARM 芯片的集成开发环境（IDE），除了 IAR 和 ARM 自己的 Keil、DS ，大多都是使用 GCC for ARM 的编译器！
首先，看看 ARM 交叉编译工具链的命名规则：arch [-vendor] [-os] [-(gnu)eabi] [-gcc]
如果同时没有 vendor 和 os 支持，则只用一个 none 代替。例如 arm-none-eabi 中的 none 表示既没有 vendor 也没有 os 支持。 前面说过，GCC for ARM 是基于 GCC 开发的。因此，其和 GCC 一样是一套命令行工具的集合，理论上可以将它集成到其他任何集成开发环境中，从而不直接使用命令行。GCC for ARM 中的各命令行工具与 GCC 中的各命令行工具都是对应的，功能基本一致，仅仅是名字有些改变！
基于 GCC 的 ARM 编译工具链提供商有 ARM、Codesourcery、Linaro 这三家，但其中使用最多还是 ARM 提供的 GCC 编译器。下面我们分别简单来介绍一下这三家的编译工具链。
Arm GNU Toolchain
ARM 除了有自己的专用编译器之外，还维护了一套基于 GCC 的交叉编译工具链，被称为 Arm GNU Toolchain。估计是为了能更有效的占有市场吧！绝大多数第三方的 IDE 都是使用这一套交叉编译工具链。
注意，在 2022 年之前，Arm GNU Toolchain 被分为了 A-profile（GNU Toolchain for A-profile processors） 和 R & M profiles（GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain）两大类，但是从 2022 年开始统一为了一个，之前的已经停止开发。2022 年第一版叫做 Arm GNU Toolchain Version 11.2-2022.02。
在 2022 年以前 R & M profiles 编译工具链的名字只有 arm-none-eabi，只能编译裸机平台，Cortex-A 则有裸机和 Linux 版之分的多种编译工具链；在 2022 年开始，则根据架构及是否支持 Linux 系统进行了大一统，我们可以根据需要选择合适的版本。
下面这两个章节还是 2022 年以前的 Arm GNU Toolchain 的介绍。2022 年以前的 Arm GNU Toolchain 官网还提供下载，只是不再进行更新。
arm-none-eabi
用于编译 ARM 架构的裸机系统（包括 ARM Linux 的 boot、kernel，不适用编译 Linux 应用 Application），所以不支持那些跟操作系统关系密切的函数，比如 fork，它使用的是 newlib 这个专用于嵌入式系统的 C 库。这是目前我们编写 ARM 裸机程序时，使用最多的交采编译工具链！ 安装/解压 之后，目录如下图所示：
??编译器工具中的各工具，与标准的 GCC 没有太多区别，主要就是针对的平台变了。各工具的功能是一样的！比如：arm-none-eabi-gcc.exe 是C 语言编译器、arm-none-eabi-g++.exe 是 C++ 编译器、arm-none-eabi-ld.exe 是连接器、arm-none-eabi-gdb.exe 是调试器等等。
?? 在很久以前，ARM 使用 launchpad 来维护该项目源码。但是根据之前的公告，launchpad 上不发布编译好的程序和源码包（“As previously announced all new binary and source packages will not be released on Launchpad henceforth, they can be found on:https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm.”），只能从 ARM 官网：https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/downloads 进行下载，launchpad 仅用于 BUG 提交等。
Cortex-A 专用
??以上交叉编译工具链只支持 ARM Cortex-M/R 等系列的核，ARM 官网还提供了针对于 ARM Cortex-A 系列内核的交叉编译工具链，可以从以下地址下载https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-a/downloads。具体如下所示：
