Add new target option to print/show the build size. #81

Open microbit-carlos opened 10 months ago

microbit-carlos commented 10 months ago

We should discuss if this is something we'd like to add, and if this is the right format to enable it (with an entry in the target.json file).

The size info is added by using the arm-none-eabi-size tool and the -Wl,--print-memory-usage linker flag.

With this change, and by setting the "show_size": true option in target.json, we get this additional info printed during builds:

$ python build.py

This PR, by default, won't print the size info:

But, this temp branch has been created in the codal-microbit-v2 repo to test it with the option enabled:
