Model of a compiled (or assembled) form of a source file

Instances of this module represent object files. Instances must be created via either the xdc.bld.Library.addObjects() or xdc.bld.Executable.addObjects() functions; this ensures that each object file created appears in the package's manifest and that it properly "inherits" appropriate default attributes from the containing library or executable.

FIELDS
profile — This string names a profile defined by the target used to produce the object file. The profile specifies a set of compiler and assembler options that are to be used when producing the object. Note that these tool options are in addition to any options specified via aopts, copts, etc.
incs — This string contains include path options used by the compiler (or assembler) to locate include files; e.g., "-I ../../include -I ../c55xx". Note that the syntax of this string may be target dependent.
defs — This string contains options used by the compiler (or assembler) to define macros; e.g., "-D_C6xxx -DDEBUG=1". Note that the syntax of this string may be target dependent.
aopts — This string contains options used by the assembler to produce object files; e.g., "-mP1". Note that the syntax of this string may be target dependent.
copts — This string contains options used by the C/C++ compiler to produce object files; e.g., "-o3 -mi1". Note that the syntax of this string may be target dependent.
preBuilt — If equal to true, this Boolean flag indicates that this object does not need to be built from sources; e.g., it has been pre-built and delivered as a binary file without sources or some custom rule already built this object file. For pre-built objects, no rule will be created to remove the file as part of a package clean operation, the relative path to the file must be fully specified, and all other Object attributes are ignored.
DETAILS
Unspecified attributes are "inherited" from xdc.bld.Executable.Attrs (xdc.bld.Library.Attrs) if this Object is added to an xdc.bld.Executable (xdc.bld.Library); i.e., if one of fields in this structure is unspecified *and* this field's name matches a field name in xdc.bld.Executable.attrs, then this field's value defaults to the value in specified by xdc.bld.Executable.attrs. This mechanism makes it possible to establish executable-wide default value for any of the "inherited" attributes.
Suppose, for example, that you want all object files in this package to be build with the '-o4' optimization flag, but one particular file must be built with '-o2' (because the optimizer has a bug that it causes it to fail on this file). The following build script fragment shows how this can be accomplished:
      var exe = Pkg.addExecutable(..., {copts: '-o4'});
      exe.addObjects(['complex'], {copts: '-o2'});
      exe.addObjects(['foo', 'bar', ...]);
Since many Executable.attrs are "inherited" from xdc.bld.PackageContents.attrs, it is also possible to establish package-wide default for these attributes.

This instance's attributes

XDCscript usage meta-domain
var params = new Object.Params;
  ...
params.attrs = Object.Attrs undefined;
DETAILS
These attributes (unless otherwise specified) are "inherited" from the container object that contains this instance.

config Object.name  // instance

The base name of the object file

XDCscript usage meta-domain
var params = new Object.Params;
  ...
params.name = String undefined;
DETAILS
This name is passed as the name field of the xdc.bld.ITarget.CompileGoal. The object file's name is composed as follows:
      <name>.o<target_suffix>
where <name> is name and <target_suffix> is the suffix defined by each target that the file is built for.
