xcc -report behaves strange after including the lib_xcore library

[vergil19]

Hey all, I'm a bit confused about something strange I observed when using the XCC compiler. When I try to compile a simple previous example, such as a Hello World in C, using the -report option shows me the cores, channels, timers and memory I'm using, like this:

Code: Select all

//main.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    printf("Hello World");
    return 0;
}

xcc -target=XK-EVK-XU316 -report src/hello-world/main.c -o bin/hello-world/hello-world.xe
Constraint check for tile[0]:
  Cores available:            8,   used:          1 .  OKAY
  Timers available:          10,   used:          1 .  OKAY
  Chanends available:        32,   used:          0 .  OKAY
  Memory available:       524288,   used:      21368 .  OKAY
    (Stack: 836, Code: 19280, Data: 1252)
Constraints checks PASSED.

However, as soon as I include any lib_xcore related code in the program, the summary immediately becomes incomplete, only showing memory information, like this:

Code: Select all

#include <xcore/hwtimer.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    printf("Hello World");
    return 0;
}

xcc -target=XK-EVK-XU316 -report src/hello-world/main.c -o bin/hello-world/hello-world.xe
Constraint check for tile[0]:
  Memory available:       524288,   used:      21368 .  OKAY
    (Stack: 836, Code: 19280, Data: 1252)
Constraints checks PASSED.

What's going on in the compiler? Why does including lib_xcore cause this? In multi-core programming, not being able to actively view the current resource usage makes me feel a little uneasy.
Can someone shed some light on this behavior? Is this a bug or "feature" of the XCC compiler when using the lib_xcore library? How can I get around this and see a full resource usage report with lib_xcore code in my programs?
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! I'm still trying to wrap my head around XMOS and multicore programming.

Bump as I'm also having the same issue.
