RTX implementation with eclipse - eclipse

I have a question about RTX (RTOS), I have to implement the RTOS RTX on a NUCLEO-F411RE board (Cortex M4). I have to do it with Eclipse but I don't know how I should do.
Moreover, I tried to compile it with the gcc compiler and I had many errors like :
_ error: stray '#' in program
_ error: expected '(' before 'void' __asm void rt_set_PSP (U32 stack) {
Can someone help me to fix it?

Keil's MDK-ARM includes a plug-in for Eclipse as an alternative to using µVision. That would be the most straightforward way to start developing with Eclipse. It supports importing/exporting projects to and from µVision.
The errors you have are most likely due to attempting to compile ARM RealView compiler (armcc) specific code with gcc.

Is Eclipse Mars CDT support C++11 thread?

I have the following setup:
Eclipse Mars 4.5 (Build id:20150621-1200)
MinGW 201310 with g++ 4.8.1
Windows 10
I followed few post to add std=c++11 in Project property and make sure __cplusplus is 201103L. Here is the result:
I can see that std::map compile and run ok.
If I #include , there is no syntax error. But the declaration of thread in main() shows error "Type thread could not be resolved". Then I open up thread header file located in c:/MinGW/lib/gcc/mingw32/4.8.1/include/c++/thread, it seems that the whole class is dimmed due to that _GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS is undefined. If I manually define it in the path and symbols, then the thread class is fully defined. But there comes more errors in the thread itself. Did I missed something? Or if the C++11 thread isn't ready on eclipse+MinGW? Thank you!
To get support for std::thread, you will want a MinGW build equipped with posix threading model support.
I'm not sure if there's a "classic" MinGW build with that feature,
but it's available with MinGW-w64.
You can get a MinGW-w64 installation in a number of ways, but the installer under the "Mingw-builds" link should be sufficient to get you started (and will let you pick which release GCC you want).

Unknown Eclipse Errors using gfortran, Cygwin

Using Windows 7 64 bit. I've followed these instructions for installing Eclipse for Parallel Application Developers and Cygwin, the latter because I want gfortran to compile Fortran code. At 18:20 in the linked tutorial he compiles in Eclipse with no errors, but I get the following 2 errors (Project is called "example"):
Description Resource Path Location Type
make: *** [example] Error 1 example C/C++ Problem
recipe for target 'example' failed makefile /example/Debug line 29 C/C++ Problem
My code (main.f90, under project "example") is simply
program main
print*, "hello world"
end program main
I've also tried compiling through the terminal, but get the following:
>>gfortran main.f90
gfortran: fatal error: -fuse-linker-plugin, but cyglto_plugin.dll not found
compilation terminated
Any help is appreciated!
The tutorial, you linked, is 2 years old...
As far as I see from the content of the packages available from http://www.cygwin.com/packages/, you have to install gcc-fortran instead of gcc4-fortran, because the latter one is labeled as obsolete.
The library cyglto_plugin.dll, which is used for Link-Time-Optimization, can be found in the package gcc-core and should be installed as a dependency. You could try to disable this library by using -fno-use-linker-plugin, but this will disable some optimization.

gfortran compilation with -fPIC vs -frecursive

I recently followed the instruction on this thread for compiling BLAS and LAPACK as pre-requisites to a SciPy installation. First I got a gfortran error at some point, which recommended that I re-compile LAPACK with -fPIC. So I did this by replacing the -frecursive with -fPIC in makefile.inc (which, I assume is some file the Makefile reads for different compile options) and the error was gone.
Can someone explain more generally what the difference is in compiling something with -fPIC and -frecursive, and how it helped fix the error in my case.
Thanks!
As Soren already commented: -fPIC is totally unrelated to -frecursive. PIC influences how machine code can be positioned inside memory. If you want to compile a library code must be compiled to be relocatable. In other words the code must be able to run regardless of where it is loaded in memory. This question deals with this in more detail.
The -frecursive indeed should be specified if possible. Older implementations of gfortran, e.g. gfortran 4.1.2 on RedHat 5 do not support this option. Currently I haven't seen a workaround, so you have to remove it.
The gfortran documentation describes it as
Allow indirect recursion by forcing all local arrays to be allocated on the stack
In the thread you mentioned, for compilation of the LAPACK library the option -frecursive can be removed. Then the library compiles.
If it works without this feature remains to be seen. Haven't tested yet.

Unresolved __builtin_ia32_stmxcsr

I have inherited code, trying to compile with gcc on Linux.
what library am I looking for that has __builtin_ia32_stmxcsr ?
apologies -- i was too fast to submit; running gcc inside of Nvidia Eclipse. actual error message is "Functuion . . . could not be resolved" so i jumped the conclusion i needed to reference some lib. As the offending lines hav a :#if defined(SSE) I take it to mean that the -msse2 switch is present although i cannot seem to find a copyh of the compile command line. [just learning this Eclipse tool -- very new!]
You don't need to link with anything - the "builtin" in the name is a clue that it's a gcc built-in (intrinsic) compiler function.
However you do need to be compiling for an x86 target with SSE enabled for this to be recognised, e.g. gcc -msse2 ....
Note that you can use the _mm_getcsr intrinsic from <xmmintrin.h> instead of __builtin_ia32_stmxcsr - this would be a little more portable.
This is a bug in eclipses indexer with gcc's __builtin* functions. The bug report is at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=352537
The problem is that even the glibc/gcc libraries themselves use these __builtin* functions, so eclipse complains about a faulty xmmintrin.h etc., which is of course nonsense.
There is a workaround given in the bug report, you can add the function prototypes as user defined macros for the indexer, but of course this becomes tedious if there are a few more and some type checking abilities are lost.

Getting Eclipse to recognize automatic CUDA kernel variables and functions

Is there a way to get Eclipse (Indigo) to know about the built-in variables and functions that are available to CUDA kernels?
Consider the following simple kernel
__global__ void myKernel()
{
int x = threadIdx.x;
__syncthreads();
}
The Eclipse IDE highlights "threadIdx" and "__syncthreads" with a "Symbol 'the built-in symbol' could not be resolved" error message. Is there a way to tell Eclipse these are actually implicitly defined?
flipchart is correct. #include <cuda_runtime_api.h> does the trick if the symbol __CUDACC__ is defined beforehand.
In cuda 11.3 you can add:
#include <device_launch_parameters.h>
