Specify Extensions for Build Tool Files

This code snippet shows how you can specify file extensions for a tool (for example, the assembler) in a toolchain.

tc = target.create('Toolchain', ...
                   'Name', 'myToolchain', ...
                   'Family', 'GNU', ...
                   'ToolPrefix', 'powerpc64-linux-gnu');
asm = tc.getBuildToolOfType('Assembler');
asm.setFileExtensions('Source', {'.s', '.S', '.asm'});
