Decode assertion File IDs in F Prime GDS

[celskeggs]

F´ Version	fprime @ v4.0.1a1-103-g89a9e3247, fprime-gds==4.0.2a11.dev3+gc55a33b86
Affected Component	fprime-gds, build system

---

Feature Description

For small embedded systems, it is very useful to set FW_ASSERT_LEVEL to FW_FILEID_ASSERT, because this eliminates the overhead of embedding source code filenames into the flight binary.

However, this adds an extra step to understand the cause of an assertion like the following:

Assert in file 0x12345678, line 123: 1

The user must run fprime-util hash-to-file 0x12345678 to find the file, and then go back to the original message to find the line. It would be much more convenient if the F Prime GDS could decode the file ID automatically.

Rationale

Ease of use, faster debugging.

This is an excellent suggestion!

Just submitted an implementation for this over on the fprime-gds repo if anyone wants to check it out.
