Why does the Nios® II build flow report Unable to determine program-size on Windows WSL?

Description

Due to a problem in the nios2-elf-stackreport utility in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 19.3, the nios2-elf-stackreport utility does
not report the program size or the stack heap size.

Resolution

To work around this problem, edit the nios2-stackreport.pl wrapper to add missing .exe suffix in tool names.

Modify file:
/nios2eds/bin/nios2-stackreport.pl

line 47: “nm” to “nm.exe”

line 48: “size” to “size.exe”

This problem is fixed beginning with the Intel® Quartus® Prime software version 19.4.
