Nm tool

Uses nm and objdump from (GNU Binutils)[https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/] to inspect binaries and display information.

How to use

Compile a *.elf file, the nm tool will automatically update the information. If that did not happen try running the Nm tool: Reload command in vscode. To use the tool with other file extensions you can configure the nmTool.inputFiles setting to set a global pattern, the default is **/*.elf.

CMake intergration

The extension will search for a CMakeCache.txt in any parent directory of the file to analyze to search for CMAKE_NM:FILEPATH and CMAKE_OBJDUMP:FILEPATH. If this fails the default nm and objdump commands will be used.
