This PR provides replaces built-in targets AROS, A500, A1200 and A4000 with more specific targets:

Release

  • Default target used when compiling with Ctrl+Shift+B.
  • Defines the DEBUG macro.
  • Enables optimizations which may render some code not debuggable.
  • Additional GCC/GAS options: -gdwarf-3 -Ofast -DDEBUG.
  • Additional VASM options: -dwarf=3 -DDEBUG.

Debug

  • Defines the DEBUG macro.
  • Disables all optimizations. Code is debuggable at the cost of losing some performance.
  • Additional GCC/GAS options: -gdwarf-3 -DDEBUG.
  • Additional VASM options: -dwarf=3 -DDEBUG.

Final

  • Makefile targets this by default.
  • Same as final but enables macro NDEBUG instead of DEBUG to provide some sort of stripping at the source code level.
  • Additional GCC/GAS options: -gdwarf-3 -Ofast -DNDEBUG.
  • Additional VASM options: -dwarf=3 -DNDEBUG.

Shrinkled

  • Same as Final but shrinkles the executable using the new option amiga.shrinkler.options in the Settings page.
  • The executable launched in the emulator is the shrinkled one (which is renamed to the name of the program).
  • Symbol stripping still has to be done using the -s parameter when calling elf2hunk.
  • Shrinkling is done by an external file mkfinal.bat.

Potential improvements:

  • Splitting Shrinkled into two targets, one for profiling (which includes DWARF information) and one for publishing (not including DWARF information + calling elf2hunk with parameter -s).

Related to: #52
Replacement for #127 (which became outdated).

PS: This is my last Pull Request for now :) (It's the only actual difference between the extension and my fork). Maybe is too specific and out of the scope of the template, however it is worth the try!
