For me it will be annoying if I have to enter the same defines at two places.

Ok, I got your point. As I previously mentioned, pure assembler projects are not uncommon in the embedded world. Considering that, how convenient it would be to enter the defines to be used with assembler into C/C++ defines? I think that wouldn't be good practice. I agree there may be times to enter same defines in both places but not all the time.

It is possible, but is it needed? The question is same as the one for defines: would they be different than C/C++ ones most of the times?

I think you should consider library paths here. I can't think of a reason why C/C++ and Assembler libraries (or hand-crafted routines) should be kept in the exact same folder. In the current cb implementation, it's impractical and error prone to enter the library paths in the command line for non C/C++ files to assemble the assembler files. So what I do is to copy the library file to the source folder and then include it. If search paths for assembler were available that would be way too much practical and convenient. ;)
oBFusCATed:
What do you mean by pure assembler project? Can you post a listing of an example real-world project?
Because if you have a project made only of asm files, then you can use both defines and search paths for the c/c++.
The only point to have separate options for asm and c/c++ is when you have a mixed source project and you need to specify different options for different files.

By 'pure assembler project' I mean a project consisting of only assembler files. By 'listing' do you mean a listing file (.lst)? If yes, there is one with C source in the link below for avr-gcc:

If you were talking about something else, please elaborate.

Then is there a specific reason not to merge the compiler and linker search paths too?

Mixed source projects has a percentage in the embedded world, that's the main reason I was asking for assembler support in the beginning.

On unix the command is find <root_of_project> on windows dir /s <root_of_project>. I just want to see a real world project structure. I want to see the layout on disk.

Yes, because 99% of the times they are different, because headers and library files are stored in different locations.

Sry doesn't compute. ;) An assembler library or a mixed source or a project for some other software or...?
