No files emitted Warning. Seems to recognize compiler though

Question

During the build, I am expecting cov-emit.exe to get called for these C files compiled using aampc.exe. It seems to recognize the aampc compiler since it says "COMPILING". Could it still be that the compiler is not recognized? Thanks for any help.

Here is a snippet for 2 of the files so you can see what is in the build-log.txt file:

Answer 1

Check for your compiler entry in coverity_config.xml.

Answer 2

As the question focuses on the meaning of this log output, I'll do the same.

The presence of the COMPILING line indicates that cov-build recognizes that aampc.exe is a compiler (based on its executable path name), and has handed one of its command lines to cov-translate for further processing.

However, cov-translate seems to be confused about what the command line means. First, it warns about its inability to query the GCC compiler version number; I don't know what aampc.exe is, but if it is not a GCC derivative then cov-configure may have been given bad information. The absence of any further output from cov-translate means it did not see any compilation and so did nothing. (That would be correct behavior if the compiler was being invoked to do something like preprocessing or linking only, but that's not the case here.)
