This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long. Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

.SH WARNING
|
|
The information in this man page is an extract from the full
|
|
documentation of the GNU C compiler, and is limited to the meaning of
|
|
the options.
|
|
.PP
|
|
This man page is not kept up to date except when volunteers want to
|
|
maintain it. If you find a discrepancy between the man page and the
|
|
software, please check the Info file, which is the authoritative
|
|
documentation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If we find that the things in this man page that are out of date cause
|
|
significant confusion or complaints, we will stop distributing the man
|
|
page. The alternative, updating the man page when we update the Info
|
|
file, is impossible because the rest of the work of maintaining GNU CC
|
|
leaves us no time for that. The GNU project regards man pages as
|
|
obsolete and should not let them take time away from other things.
|
|
.PP

Using and Porting GNU CC (for version 2.0)\c
|
|
\&. Both are made from the Texinfo source file
|
|
.BR gcc.texinfo .
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The C and C++ compilers are integrated. Both process input files
|
|
through one or more of four stages: preprocessing, compilation,
|
|
assembly, and linking. Source filename suffixes identify the source
|
|
language, but which name you use for the compiler governs default
|
|
assumptions:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B gcc
|
|
assumes preprocessed (\c
|
|
.B .i\c
|
|
\&) files are C and assumes C style linking.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B g++
|
|
assumes preprocessed (\c
|
|
.B .i\c
|
|
\&) files are C++ and assumes C++ style linking.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Suffixes of source file names indicate the language and kind of
|
|
processing to be done:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
.ta \w'\fB.cxx\fP 'u
|
|
\&\fB.c\fP C source; preprocess, compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.C\fP C++ source; preprocess, compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.cc\fP C++ source; preprocess, compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.cxx\fP C++ source; preprocess, compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.m\fP Objective-C source; preprocess, compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.i\fP preprocessed C; compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.ii\fP preprocessed C++; compile, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.s\fP Assembler source; assemble
|
|
\&\fB.S\fP Assembler source; preprocess, assemble
|
|
\&\fB.h\fP Preprocessor file; not usually named on command line
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.fi
|
|
Files with other suffixes are passed to the linker. Common cases include:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
\&\fB.o\fP Object file
|
|
\&\fB.a\fP Archive file
|
|
.br
|
|
.fi
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Linking is always the last stage unless you use one of the
|
|
.BR \-c ,
|
|
.BR \-S ,
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-E
|
|
options to avoid it (or unless compilation errors stop the whole
|
|
process). For the link stage, all
|
|
.B .o
|
|
files corresponding to source files,
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
libraries, unrecognized filenames (including named
|
|
.B .o
|
|
object files and
|
|
.B .a
|
|
archives)
|
|
are passed to the linker in command-line order.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
Options must be separate: `\|\c
|
|
.B \-dr\c
|
|
\&\|' is quite different from `\|\c
|
|
.B \-d \-r
|
|
\&\|'.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Most `\|\c
|
|
.B \-f\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c
|
|
.B \-W\c
|
|
\&\|' options have two contrary forms:
|
|
.BI \-f name
|
|
and
|
|
.BI \-fno\- name\c
|
|
\& (or
|
|
.BI \-W name
|
|
and
|
|
.BI \-Wno\- name\c
|
|
\&). Only the non-default forms are shown here.
|
|

Support all ANSI standard C programs.
|

.Sp

This turns off certain features of GNU C that are incompatible with

ANSI C, such as the \c

keywords, and predefined macros such as \c
|
|
.B unix\c
|
|
\& and \c
|
|
.B vax
|
|
that identify the type of system you are using. It also enables the
|
|
undesirable and rarely used ANSI trigraph feature, and disallows `\|\c
|
|
.B $\c
|
|
\&\|' as part of identifiers.

|
.Sp
|

The alternate keywords \c
|
|
.B _\|_asm_\|_\c

.B _\|_typeof_\|_\c
|
|
\& continue to work despite
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-ansi\c
|
|
\&\|'. You would not want to use them in an ANSI C program, of
|
|
course, but it is useful to put them in header files that might be included
|
|
in compilations done with `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ansi\c
|
|
\&\|'. Alternate predefined macros
|
|
such as \c
|

.B _\|_unix_\|_\c
|

.B _\|_vax_\|_\c

\& are also available, with or

|
without `\|\c

.B \-ansi\c
|
|
\&\|'.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ansi\c
|
|
\&\|' option does not cause non-ANSI programs to be
|
|
rejected gratuitously. For that, `\|\c
|
|
.B \-pedantic\c

\&\|' is required in
|
|
addition to `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ansi\c
|

\&\|'.

.Sp
|
|
The preprocessor predefines a macro \c
|
|
.B _\|_STRICT_ANSI_\|_\c
|
|
\& when you use the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ansi\c
|
|
\&\|'
|
|
option. Some header files may notice this macro and refrain
|
|
from declaring certain functions or defining certain macros that the

|
ANSI standard doesn't call for; this is to avoid interfering with any
|
|
programs that might use these names for other things.

Do not recognize \c

The `\|\c

|
|
Treat a function declaration with no arguments, such as `\|\c

|
.B int foo
|
|
();\c
|
|
\&\|', as C would treat it\(em\&as saying nothing about the number of
|
|
arguments or their types (C++ only). Normally, such a declaration in

C++ means that the function \c
|
|
.B foo\c
|

\& takes no arguments.

.TP
|
|
.B \-trigraphs
|
|
Support ANSI C trigraphs. The `\|\c

But one note about C++ programs only (not C). `\|\c
|
|
.B \-traditional\c

.B \-traditional\c

.B \-fdollars\-in\-identifiers

Permit the use of `\|\c

|
\&\|' in identifiers (C++ only). You can also use
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-fno\-dollars\-in\-identifiers\c
|
|
\&\|' to explicitly prohibit use of
|
|
`\|\c

.B $\c

\&\|'. (GNU C++ allows `\|\c

.B $\c
|
|
\&\|' by default on some target systems

.TP

.B \-fenum\-int\-equiv
|
|
Permit implicit conversion of \c
|
|
.B int\c

\& to enumeration types (C++

only). Normally GNU C++ allows conversion of \c
|
|
.B enum\c

.B int\c

\&,

but not the other way around.

.TP
|
|
.B \-fexternal\-templates
|
|
Produce smaller code for template declarations, by generating only a
|
|
single copy of each template function where it is defined (C++ only).
|
|
To use this option successfully, you must also mark all files that
|
|
use templates with either `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma implementation\c
|
|
\&\|' (the definition) or
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma interface\c
|
|
\&\|' (declarations).
|
|
|
|
When your code is compiled with `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fexternal\-templates\c
|
|
\&\|', all
|
|
template instantiations are external. You must arrange for all
|
|
necessary instantiations to appear in the implementation file; you can
|
|
do this with a \c
|
|
.B typedef\c
|
|
\& that references each instantiation needed.
|
|
Conversely, when you compile using the default option
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-fno\-external\-templates\c
|
|
\&\|', all template instantiations are
|
|
explicitly internal.
|
|
.TP
|

.B \-fall\-virtual

Treat all possible member functions as virtual, implicitly. All
|
|
member functions (except for constructor functions and
|
|
.B new
|
|
or
|
|
.B delete
|
|
member operators) are treated as virtual functions of the class where
|
|
they appear.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This does not mean that all calls to these member functions will be
|
|
made through the internal table of virtual functions. Under some
|
|
circumstances, the compiler can determine that a call to a given
|
|
virtual function can be made directly; in these cases the calls are
|
|
direct in any case.

.TP

.B \-fcond\-mismatch

Allow conditional expressions with mismatched types in the second and

third arguments. The value of such an expression is void.

|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fthis\-is\-variable
|
|
Permit assignment to \c
|
|
.B this\c
|
|
\& (C++ only). The incorporation of
|
|
user-defined free store management into C++ has made assignment to
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B this\c
|
|
\&\|' an anachronism. Therefore, by default it is invalid to
|
|
assign to \c
|

.B this\c

\& by default or like

Ideally, a portable program should always use \c
|
|
.B signed char\c
|
|
\& or
|
|
.B unsigned char\c
|
|
\& when it depends on the signedness of an object.
|

But many programs have been written to use plain \c
|
|
.B char\c
|
|
\& and
|
|
expect it to be signed, or expect it to be unsigned, depending on the
|
|
machines they were written for. This option, and its inverse, let you
|
|
make such a program work with the opposite default.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The type \c
|
|
.B char\c

\& is always a distinct type from each of
|
|
.B signed char\c

.SH LINKER OPTIONS
|
|
These options come into play when the compiler links object files into
|
|
an executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is
|
|
not doing a link step.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I object-file-name
|
|
A file name that does not end in a special recognized suffix is
|
|
considered to name an object file or library. (Object files are
|
|
distinguished from libraries by the linker according to the file
|
|
contents.) If GCC does a link step, these object files are used as input
|
|
to the linker.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI \-l library
|
|
Use the library named \c
|
|
.I library\c
|
|
\& when linking.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The linker searches a standard list of directories for the library,
|
|
which is actually a file named `\|\c
|
|
.B lib\c
|
|
.I library\c
|
|
\&.a\c
|
|
\&\|'. The linker
|
|
then uses this file as if it had been specified precisely by name.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The directories searched include several standard system directories
|
|
plus any that you specify with `\|\c
|
|
.B \-L\c
|
|
\&\|'.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Normally the files found this way are library files\(em\&archive files
|
|
whose members are object files. The linker handles an archive file by
|
|
scanning through it for members which define symbols that have so far
|
|
been referenced but not defined. However, if the linker finds an
|
|
ordinary object file rather than a library, the object file is linked
|
|
in the usual fashion. The only difference between using an `\|\c
|
|
.B \-l\c
|
|
\&\|' option and specifying a file
|
|
name is that `\|\c
|
|
.B \-l\c
|
|
\&\|' surrounds
|
|
.I library
|
|
with `\|\c
|
|
.B lib\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c
|
|
.B .a\c
|
|
\&\|' and searches several directories.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-lobjc
|
|
You need this special case of the
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
option in order to link an Objective C program.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-nostartfiles
|

Do not use the standard system startup files when linking.

The standard libraries are used normally.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-nostdlib
|
|
Don't use the standard system libraries and startup files when linking.
|
|
Only the files you specify will be passed to the linker.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-static
|
|
On systems that support dynamic linking, this prevents linking with the shared
|
|
libraries. On other systems, this option has no effect.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-shared
|
|
Produce a shared object which can then be linked with other objects to
|
|
form an executable. Only a few systems support this option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-symbolic
|
|
Bind references to global symbols when building a shared object. Warn
|
|
about any unresolved references (unless overridden by the link editor
|
|
option `\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
\-Xlinker \-z \-Xlinker defs\c
|

\&\|'). Only a few systems support

this option.

.TP
|
|
.BI "\-Xlinker " "option"
|

Pass \c

.I option

as an option to the linker. You can use this to
|
|
supply system-specific linker options which GNU CC does not know how to
|
|
recognize.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you want to pass an option that takes an argument, you must use
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-Xlinker\c
|
|
\&\|' twice, once for the option and once for the argument.
|
|
For example, to pass `\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
\-assert definitions\c
|
|
\&\|', you must write
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
\-Xlinker \-assert \-Xlinker definitions\c
|
|
\&\|'. It does not work to write
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
\-Xlinker "\-assert definitions"\c
|
|
\&\|', because this passes the entire
|
|
string as a single argument, which is not what the linker expects.

.TP

.BI "\-Wl," "option"

Pass \c

\& as an option to the linker. If \c

different symbols to force loading of additional library modules.

.SH DIRECTORY OPTIONS

These options specify directories to search for header files, for

libraries and for parts of the compiler:

.TP
|

.BI "\-I" "dir"

Append directory \c

\& to the list of directories searched for include files.

.TP

.B \-I\-

Any directories you specify with `\|\c

.B \-I\c
|
|
\&\|' options before the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|'

option are searched only for the case of `\|\c

.B

#include "\c

.Sp

If additional directories are specified with `\|\c

|
.B \-I\c
|
|
\&\|' options after
|
|
the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|', these directories are searched for all `\|\c
|
|
.B #include\c
|
|
\&\|'
|
|
directives. (Ordinarily \c
|
|
.I all\c
|
|
\& `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\c
|
|
\&\|' directories are used
|
|
this way.)
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In addition, the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|' option inhibits the use of the current
|
|
directory (where the current input file came from) as the first search
|
|
directory for `\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
#include "\c
|
|
.I file\c
|
|
.B
|
|
\&"\c
|
|
\&\|'. There is no way to
|
|
override this effect of `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|'. With `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I.\c
|
|
\&\|' you can specify
|
|
searching the directory which was current when the compiler was
|
|
invoked. That is not exactly the same as what the preprocessor does
|
|
by default, but it is often satisfactory.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|' does not inhibit the use of the standard system directories
|
|
for header files. Thus, `\|\c
|
|
.B \-I\-\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c
|

The compiler driver program runs one or more of the subprograms

`\|\c

.Sp
|
|
For each subprogram to be run, the compiler driver first tries the
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-B\c
|
|
\&\|' prefix, if any. If that name is not found, or if `\|\c
|
|
.B \-B\c
|

was not specified, the driver tries two standard prefixes, which are
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B /usr/lib/gcc/\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c
|
|
.B /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/\c
|
|
\&\|'. If neither of
|
|
those results in a file name that is found, the compiler driver
|
|
searches for the unmodified program
|
|
name, using the directories specified in your
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B PATH\c
|
|
\&\|' environment variable.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The run-time support file `\|\c

.B libgcc.a\c
|
|
\&\|' is also searched for using the
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-B\c
|
|
\&\|' prefix, if needed. If it is not found there, the two
|
|
standard prefixes above are tried, and that is all. The file is left
|
|
out of the link if it is not found by those means. Most of the time,
|
|
on most machines, `\|\c
|
|
.B libgcc.a\c
|
|
\&\|' is not actually necessary.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
You can get a similar result from the environment variable
|
|
.B GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\c
|
|
\&; if it is defined, its value is used as a prefix
|
|
in the same way. If both the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-B\c
|
|
\&\|' option and the
|
|
.B GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\c
|
|
\& variable are present, the `\|\c

.B \-B\c

\&\|' option is

used first and the environment variable value second.

Spurious warnings can occur because GNU CC does not realize that

certain functions (including \c

An expression-statement or the left-hand side of a comma expression

To suppress the warning, cast the unused expression to void.
|
|
For example, an expression such as `\|\c
|
|
.B x[i,j]\c
|
|
\&\|' will cause a warning,
|

but `\|\c

Warn whenever a function is defined with a return-type that defaults

.B return\c

.B \-Wunused
|

Warn whenever a local variable is unused aside from its declaration,
|
|
whenever a function is declared static but never defined, and whenever
|
|
a statement computes a result that is explicitly not used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wswitch
|
|
Warn whenever a \c
|
|
.B switch\c
|
|
\& statement has an index of enumeral type
|
|
and lacks a \c
|
|
.B case\c
|
|
\& for one or more of the named codes of that
|
|
enumeration. (The presence of a \c

\& label prevents this
|
|
warning.) \c

.B case\c

\& labels outside the enumeration range also
|

provoke warnings when this option is used.

Warn whenever a comment-start sequence `\|\c

.B \-Wtrigraphs
|
|
Warn if any trigraphs are encountered (assuming they are enabled).

|
|
Check calls to \c
|
|
.B printf\c

\&, etc., to make sure that
|
|
the arguments supplied have types appropriate to the format string
|
|
specified.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wchar\-subscripts
|
|
Warn if an array subscript has type
|
|
.BR char .
|
|
This is a common cause of error, as programmers often forget that this
|
|
type is signed on some machines.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wuninitialized
|
|
An automatic variable is used without first being initialized.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
These warnings are possible only in optimizing compilation,
|
|
because they require data flow information that is computed only
|
|
when optimizing. If you don't specify `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|', you simply won't
|
|
get these warnings.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
These warnings occur only for variables that are candidates for
|
|
register allocation. Therefore, they do not occur for a variable that
|
|
is declared \c
|
|
.B volatile\c
|
|
\&, or whose address is taken, or whose size
|
|
is other than 1, 2, 4 or 8 bytes. Also, they do not occur for
|
|
structures, unions or arrays, even when they are in registers.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Note that there may be no warning about a variable that is used only
|
|
to compute a value that itself is never used, because such
|
|
computations may be deleted by data flow analysis before the warnings
|
|
are printed.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
These warnings are made optional because GNU CC is not smart
|
|
enough to see all the reasons why the code might be correct
|
|
despite appearing to have an error. Here is one example of how
|
|
this can happen:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
{
|
|
int x;
|
|
switch (y)
|
|
{
|
|
case 1: x = 1;
|
|
break;
|
|
case 2: x = 4;
|
|
break;
|
|
case 3: x = 5;
|
|
}
|
|
foo (x);
|
|
}
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.fi
|
|
If the value of \c
|
|
.B y\c
|
|
\& is always 1, 2 or 3, then \c
|
|
.B x\c
|
|
\& is
|
|
always initialized, but GNU CC doesn't know this. Here is
|
|
another common case:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
{
|
|
int save_y;
|
|
if (change_y) save_y = y, y = new_y;
|
|
.\|.\|.
|
|
if (change_y) y = save_y;
|
|
}
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.fi
|
|
This has no bug because \c
|
|
.B save_y\c
|
|
\& is used only if it is set.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Some spurious warnings can be avoided if you declare as
|
|
.B volatile\c
|
|
\& all the functions you use that never return.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wparentheses
|
|
Warn if parentheses are omitted in certain contexts.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wtemplate\-debugging
|
|
When using templates in a C++ program, warn if debugging is not yet
|
|
fully available (C++ only).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wall
|
|
All of the above `\|\c
|
|
.B \-W\c
|
|
\&\|' options combined. These are all the
|
|
options which pertain to usage that we recommend avoiding and that we
|
|
believe is easy to avoid, even in conjunction with macros.
|

.PP
|

The remaining `\|\c

.B \-W.\|.\|.\c
|
|
\&\|' options are not implied by `\|\c

\&\|'
|
|
because they warn about constructions that we consider reasonable to
|
|
use, on occasion, in clean programs.
|

.TP

.B \-Wtraditional
|
|
Warn about certain constructs that behave differently in traditional and
|
|
ANSI C.
|

.TP
|
|
\ \ \ \(bu
|

Macro arguments occurring within string constants in the macro body.

These would substitute the argument in traditional C, but are part of
|
|
the constant in ANSI C.

.TP
|

.BI "\-Wid\-clash\-" "len"
|
|
Warn whenever two distinct identifiers match in the first \c

|
|
with certain obsolete, brain-damaged compilers.
|

.B \-Wpointer\-arith
|
|
Warn about anything that depends on the \*(lqsize of\*(rq a function type or
|
|
of \c
|
|
.B void\c
|
|
\&. GNU C assigns these types a size of 1, for

convenience in calculations with \c

.B void \(**\c
|
|
\& pointers and pointers
|
|
to functions.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wcast\-qual
|
|
Warn whenever a pointer is cast so as to remove a type qualifier from
|
|
the target type. For example, warn if a \c
|
|
.B const char \(**\c
|
|
\& is cast
|
|
to an ordinary \c
|
|
.B char \(**\c
|

\&.
|
|
.TP
|

.B \-Wcast\-align
|
|
Warn whenever a pointer is cast such that the required alignment of the

|
target is increased. For example, warn if a \c
|
|
.B char \(**\c
|
|
\& is cast to
|
|
an \c
|
|
.B int \(**\c
|

\& on machines where integers can only be accessed at

two- or four-byte boundaries.

Give string constants the type \c

.B const char[\c

.B ]\c
|
|
\& so that
|
|
copying the address of one into a non-\c
|
|
.B const\c
|
|
\& \c
|
|
.B char \(**
|
|
pointer will get a warning. These warnings will help you find at
|
|
compile time code that can try to write into a string constant, but
|
|
only if you have been very careful about using \c
|
|
.B const\c
|
|
\& in
|
|
declarations and prototypes. Otherwise, it will just be a nuisance;
|
|
this is why we did not make `\|\c
|
|
.B \-Wall\c
|
|
\&\|' request these warnings.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wconversion
|
|
Warn if a prototype causes a type conversion that is different from what
|
|
would happen to the same argument in the absence of a prototype. This
|
|
includes conversions of fixed point to floating and vice versa, and
|
|
conversions changing the width or signedness of a fixed point argument
|
|
except when the same as the default promotion.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Waggregate\-return
|
|
Warn if any functions that return structures or unions are defined or
|
|
called. (In languages where you can return an array, this also elicits
|
|
a warning.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wstrict\-prototypes
|
|
Warn if a function is declared or defined without specifying the
|
|
argument types. (An old-style function definition is permitted without
|
|
a warning if preceded by a declaration which specifies the argument
|
|
types.)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wmissing\-prototypes
|
|
Warn if a global function is defined without a previous prototype
|
|
declaration. This warning is issued even if the definition itself
|
|
provides a prototype. The aim is to detect global functions that fail
|
|
to be declared in header files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Wmissing\-declarations
|
|
Warn if a global function is defined without a previous declaration.

Use this option to detect global functions that are not declared in
|
|
header files.

.B \-Wenum\-clash
|
|
Warn about conversion between different enumeration types (C++ only).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-Woverloaded\-virtual
|
|
(C++ only.)
|
|
In a derived class, the definitions of virtual functions must match
|
|
the type signature of a virtual function declared in the base class.
|
|
Use this option to request warnings when a derived class declares a
|
|
function that may be an erroneous attempt to define a virtual
|
|
function: that is, warn when a function with the same name as a
|
|
virtual function in the base class, but with a type signature that
|
|
doesn't match any virtual functions from the base class.

.B \-Winline
|
|
Warn if a function can not be inlined, and either it was declared as inline,

.B \-finline\-functions
|
|
option was given.
|
|
.TP

Treat warnings as errors; abort compilation after any warning.

.SH DEBUGGING OPTIONS
|
|
GNU CC has various special options that are used for debugging
|
|
either your program or GCC:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-g
|
|
Produce debugging information in the operating system's native format
|
|
(stabs, COFF, XCOFF, or DWARF). GDB can work with this debugging
|
|
information.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
On most systems that use stabs format, `\|\c
|
|
.B \-g\c
|
|
\&\|' enables use of extra
|
|
debugging information that only GDB can use; this extra information
|
|
makes debugging work better in GDB but will probably make other debuggers
|
|
crash or
|
|
refuse to read the program. If you want to control for certain whether
|
|
to generate the extra information, use `\|\c
|
|
.B \-gstabs+\c
|
|
\&\|', `\|\c
|
|
.B \-gstabs\c
|
|
\&\|',
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-gxcoff+\c
|
|
\&\|', `\|\c
|
|
.B \-gxcoff\c
|
|
\&\|', `\|\c
|
|
.B \-gdwarf+\c
|
|
\&\|', or `\|\c
|
|
.B \-gdwarf\c
|
|
\&\|'
|
|
(see below).
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Unlike most other C compilers, GNU CC allows you to use `\|\c
|
|
.B \-g\c
|
|
\&\|' with
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|'. The shortcuts taken by optimized code may occasionally
|
|
produce surprising results: some variables you declared may not exist
|
|
at all; flow of control may briefly move where you did not expect it;
|
|
some statements may not be executed because they compute constant
|
|
results or their values were already at hand; some statements may
|
|
execute in different places because they were moved out of loops.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Nevertheless it proves possible to debug optimized output. This makes
|
|
it reasonable to use the optimizer for programs that might have bugs.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options are useful when GNU CC is generated with the
|
|
capability for more than one debugging format.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ggdb
|
|
Produce debugging information in the native format (if that is supported),
|
|
including GDB extensions if at all possible.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gstabs
|
|
Produce debugging information in stabs format (if that is supported),
|
|
without GDB extensions. This is the format used by DBX on most BSD
|
|
systems.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gstabs+
|
|
Produce debugging information in stabs format (if that is supported),
|
|
using GNU extensions understood only by the GNU debugger (GDB). The
|
|
use of these extensions is likely to make other debuggers crash or
|
|
refuse to read the program.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gcoff
|
|
Produce debugging information in COFF format (if that is supported).
|
|
This is the format used by SDB on most System V systems prior to
|
|
System V Release 4.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gxcoff
|
|
Produce debugging information in XCOFF format (if that is supported).
|
|
This is the format used by the DBX debugger on IBM RS/6000 systems.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gxcoff+
|
|
Produce debugging information in XCOFF format (if that is supported),
|
|
using GNU extensions understood only by the GNU debugger (GDB). The
|
|
use of these extensions is likely to make other debuggers crash or
|
|
refuse to read the program.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gdwarf
|
|
Produce debugging information in DWARF format (if that is supported).
|
|
This is the format used by SDB on most System V Release 4 systems.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-gdwarf+
|
|
Produce debugging information in DWARF format (if that is supported),
|
|
using GNU extensions understood only by the GNU debugger (GDB). The
|
|
use of these extensions is likely to make other debuggers crash or
|
|
refuse to read the program.

much information. The default level is 2.

parts of the program that you don't plan to debug. This includes

descriptions of functions and external variables, but no information
|

about local variables and no line numbers.

Level 3 includes extra information, such as all the macro definitions

present in the program. Some debuggers support macro expansion when

you use `\|\c

Says to make debugging dumps during compilation at times specified by

.SH OPTIMIZATION OPTIONS
|
|
These options control various sorts of optimizations:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O1
|
|
Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot
|
|
more memory for a large function.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Without `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|', the compiler's goal is to reduce the cost of
|
|
compilation and to make debugging produce the expected results.
|
|
Statements are independent: if you stop the program with a breakpoint
|
|
between statements, you can then assign a new value to any variable or
|
|
change the program counter to any other statement in the function and
|
|
get exactly the results you would expect from the source code.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Without `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|', only variables declared \c
|
|
.B register\c
|
|
\& are
|
|
allocated in registers. The resulting compiled code is a little worse
|
|
than produced by PCC without `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|'.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
With `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|', the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution
|
|
time.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
When you specify `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|', the two options `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fthread\-jumps\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fdefer\-pop\c
|
|
\&\|' are turned on. On machines that have delay slots, the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fdelayed\-branch\c
|
|
\&\|' option is turned on. For those machines that can support debugging even
|
|
without a frame pointer, the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fomit\-frame\-pointer\c
|
|
\&\|' option is turned on. On some machines other flags may also be turned on.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O2
|
|
Optimize even more. Nearly all supported optimizations that do not
|
|
involve a space-speed tradeoff are performed. Loop unrolling and function
|
|
inlining are not done, for example. As compared to
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&,
|
|
this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the
|
|
generated code.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O3
|
|
Optimize yet more. This turns on everything
|
|
.B \-O2
|
|
does, along with also turning on
|
|
.B \-finline\-functions.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-O0
|
|
Do not optimize.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you use multiple
|
|
.B \-O
|
|
options, with or without level numbers, the last such option is the
|
|
one that is effective.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Options of the form `\|\c
|
|
.B \-f\c
|
|
.I flag\c
|
|
\&\c
|
|
\&\|' specify machine-independent
|
|
flags. Most flags have both positive and negative forms; the negative
|
|
form of `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ffoo\c
|
|
\&\|' would be `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fno\-foo\c
|
|
\&\|'. The following list shows
|
|
only one form\(em\&the one which is not the default.
|
|
You can figure out the other form by either removing `\|\c
|
|
.B no\-\c
|
|
\&\|' or
|
|
adding it.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ffloat\-store
|
|
Do not store floating point variables in registers. This
|
|
prevents undesirable excess precision on machines such as the
|
|
68000 where the floating registers (of the 68881) keep more
|
|
precision than a \c
|
|
.B double\c
|
|
\& is supposed to have.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
For most programs, the excess precision does only good, but a few
|
|
programs rely on the precise definition of IEEE floating point.
|
|
Use `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ffloat\-store\c
|
|
\&\|' for such programs.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fmemoize\-lookups
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fsave\-memoized
|
|
Use heuristics to compile faster (C++ only). These heuristics are not
|
|
enabled by default, since they are only effective for certain input
|
|
files. Other input files compile more slowly.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The first time the compiler must build a call to a member function (or
|
|
reference to a data member), it must (1) determine whether the class
|
|
implements member functions of that name; (2) resolve which member
|
|
function to call (which involves figuring out what sorts of type
|
|
conversions need to be made); and (3) check the visibility of the member
|
|
function to the caller. All of this adds up to slower compilation.
|
|
Normally, the second time a call is made to that member function (or
|
|
reference to that data member), it must go through the same lengthy
|
|
process again. This means that code like this
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\& cout << "This " << p << " has " << n << " legs.\en";
|
|
.Sp
|
|
makes six passes through all three steps. By using a software cache,
|
|
a \*(lqhit\*(rq significantly reduces this cost. Unfortunately, using the
|
|
cache introduces another layer of mechanisms which must be implemented,
|
|
and so incurs its own overhead. `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fmemoize\-lookups\c
|
|
\&\|' enables
|
|
the software cache.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Because access privileges (visibility) to members and member functions
|
|
may differ from one function context to the next,
|
|
.B g++
|
|
may need to flush the cache. With the `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fmemoize\-lookups\c
|
|
\&\|' flag, the cache is flushed after every
|
|
function that is compiled. The `\|\c
|
|
\-fsave\-memoized\c
|
|
\&\|' flag enables the same software cache, but when the compiler
|
|
determines that the context of the last function compiled would yield
|
|
the same access privileges of the next function to compile, it
|
|
preserves the cache.
|
|
This is most helpful when defining many member functions for the same
|
|
class: with the exception of member functions which are friends of
|
|
other classes, each member function has exactly the same access
|
|
privileges as every other, and the cache need not be flushed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-default\-inline
|
|
Don't make member functions inline by default merely because they are
|
|
defined inside the class scope (C++ only).
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-defer\-pop
|
|
Always pop the arguments to each function call as soon as that
|
|
function returns. For machines which must pop arguments after a
|
|
function call, the compiler normally lets arguments accumulate on the
|
|
stack for several function calls and pops them all at once.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fforce\-mem
|
|
Force memory operands to be copied into registers before doing
|
|
arithmetic on them. This may produce better code by making all
|
|
memory references potential common subexpressions. When they are
|
|
not common subexpressions, instruction combination should
|
|
eliminate the separate register-load. I am interested in hearing
|
|
about the difference this makes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fforce\-addr
|
|
Force memory address constants to be copied into registers before
|
|
doing arithmetic on them. This may produce better code just as
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-fforce\-mem\c
|
|
\&\|' may. I am interested in hearing about the
|
|
difference this makes.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fomit\-frame\-pointer
|
|
Don't keep the frame pointer in a register for functions that
|
|
don't need one. This avoids the instructions to save, set up and
|
|
restore frame pointers; it also makes an extra register available
|
|
in many functions. \c
|
|
.I It also makes debugging impossible on most machines\c
|
|
\&.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
On some machines, such as the Vax, this flag has no effect, because
|
|
the standard calling sequence automatically handles the frame pointer
|
|
and nothing is saved by pretending it doesn't exist. The
|
|
machine-description macro \c
|
|
.B FRAME_POINTER_REQUIRED\c
|
|
\& controls
|
|
whether a target machine supports this flag.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-finline\-functions
|
|
Integrate all simple functions into their callers. The compiler
|
|
heuristically decides which functions are simple enough to be worth
|
|
integrating in this way.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If all calls to a given function are integrated, and the function is
|
|
declared \c
|
|
.B static\c
|
|
\&, then GCC normally does not output the function as
|
|
assembler code in its own right.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fcaller\-saves
|
|
Enable values to be allocated in registers that will be clobbered by
|
|
function calls, by emitting extra instructions to save and restore the
|
|
registers around such calls. Such allocation is done only when it
|
|
seems to result in better code than would otherwise be produced.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option is enabled by default on certain machines, usually those
|
|
which have no call-preserved registers to use instead.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fkeep\-inline\-functions
|
|
Even if all calls to a given function are integrated, and the function
|
|
is declared \c
|
|
.B static\c
|
|
\&, nevertheless output a separate run-time
|
|
callable version of the function.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-function\-cse
|
|
Do not put function addresses in registers; make each instruction that
|
|
calls a constant function contain the function's address explicitly.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option results in less efficient code, but some strange hacks
|
|
that alter the assembler output may be confused by the optimizations
|
|
performed when this option is not used.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-peephole
|
|
Disable any machine-specific peephole optimizations.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-ffast-math
|
|
This option allows GCC to violate some ANSI or IEEE rules/specifications
|
|
in the interest of optimizing code for speed. For example, it allows
|
|
the compiler to assume arguments to the \c
|
|
.B sqrt\c
|
|
\& function are
|
|
non-negative numbers.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option should never be turned on by any `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O\c
|
|
\&\|' option since
|
|
it can result in incorrect output for programs which depend on
|
|
an exact implementation of IEEE or ANSI rules/specifications for
|
|
math functions.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options control specific optimizations. The `\|\c
|
|
.B \-O2\c
|
|
\&\|'
|
|
option turns on all of these optimizations except `\|\c
|
|
.B \-funroll\-loops\c

\&\|'
|

and `\|\c

.B \-fthread\-jumps\c
|
|
\&\|' and `\|\c

|
|
Perform the optimizations of loop strength reduction and

|
elimination of iteration variables.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fthread\-jumps
|
|
Perform optimizations where we check to see if a jump branches to a
|
|
location where another comparison subsumed by the first is found. If
|
|
so, the first branch is redirected to either the destination of the
|
|
second branch or a point immediately following it, depending on whether

the condition is known to be true or false.

.TP
|

.B \-funroll\-all\-loops

Perform the optimization of loop unrolling. This is done for all loops.

.TP
|

.B \-fcse\-follow\-jumps

In common subexpression elimination, scan through jump instructions

|
example, when CSE encounters an \c
|
|
.B if\c

performed.

.B \-felide\-constructors
|
|
Elide constructors when this seems plausible (C++ only). With this
|
|
flag, GNU C++ initializes \c
|
|
.B y\c
|
|
\& directly from the call to \c
|
|
.B foo

|
without going through a temporary in the following code:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
A foo ();
|
|
A y = foo ();
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Without this option, GNU C++ first initializes \c
|
|
.B y\c
|
|
\& by calling the
|
|
appropriate constructor for type \c
|
|
.B A\c
|
|
\&; then assigns the result of

.B foo\c

`\|\c

The default behavior (`\|\c

the draft ANSI C++ standard. If your program's constructors have side

effects, using `\|\c

.B \-fschedule\-insns

If supported for the target machine, attempt to reorder instructions to

eliminate execution stalls due to required data being unavailable. This

helps machines that have slow floating point or memory load instructions
|

by allowing other instructions to be issued until the result of the load

Similar to `\|\c

instruction scheduling after register allocation has been done. This is

.SH TARGET OPTIONS
|
|
By default, GNU CC compiles code for the same type of machine that you
|
|
are using. However, it can also be installed as a cross-compiler, to
|
|
compile for some other type of machine. In fact, several different
|
|
configurations of GNU CC, for different target machines, can be
|
|
installed side by side. Then you specify which one to use with the
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B \-b\c
|
|
\&\|' option.
|
|
.PP
|
|
In addition, older and newer versions of GNU CC can be installed side
|
|
by side. One of them (probably the newest) will be the default, but
|
|
you may sometimes wish to use another.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-b " "machine"
|
|
The argument \c
|
|
.I machine\c
|
|
\& specifies the target machine for compilation.
|

This is useful when you have installed GNU CC as a cross-compiler.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The value to use for \c
|
|
.I machine\c
|
|
\& is the same as was specified as the
|
|
machine type when configuring GNU CC as a cross-compiler. For
|
|
example, if a cross-compiler was configured with `\|\c
|
|
.B configure
|
|
i386v\c
|
|
\&\|', meaning to compile for an 80386 running System V, then you
|
|
would specify `\|\c

|
.B \-b i386v\c
|
|
\&\|' to run that cross compiler.
|
|
.Sp
|

When you do not specify `\|\c

|
\&\|', it normally means to compile for
|
|
the same type of machine that you are using.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI "\-V " "version"
|
|
The argument \c
|
|
.I version\c
|
|
\& specifies which version of GNU CC to run.
|
|
This is useful when multiple versions are installed. For example,
|
|
.I version\c
|
|
\& might be `\|\c
|
|
.B 2.0\c
|
|
\&\|', meaning to run GNU CC version 2.0.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The default version, when you do not specify `\|\c
|

by the way GNU CC is installed. Normally, it will be a version that

GNU CC always guarantees consistency by default, for the preferred

processor submodel. How this is done depends on the submodel.

The m88100 processor does not reorder memory references and so always

provides sequential consistency. If you use `\|\c

not generate any special instructions for sequential consistency.

The order of memory references made by the m88110 processor does not

always match the order of the instructions requesting those references.

In particular, a load instruction may execute before a preceding store
|
|
instruction. Such reordering violates sequential consistency of
|
|
volatile memory references, when there are multiple processors. When

\&\|'. These options have both positive and negative forms; the negative form
|
|
of `\|\c
|
|
.B \-ffoo\c
|
|
\&\|' would be `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fno\-foo\c
|
|
\&\|'. In the table below, only
|
|
one of the forms is listed\(em\&the one which is not the default. You
|
|
can figure out the other form by either removing `\|\c
|
|
.B no\-\c
|
|
\&\|' or adding
|
|
it.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fnonnull\-objects
|
|
Assume that objects reached through references are not null
|
|
(C++ only).
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Normally, GNU C++ makes conservative assumptions about objects reached
|
|
through references. For example, the compiler must check that \c
|
|
.B a
|
|
is not null in code like the following:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
obj &a = g ();
|
|
a.f (2);
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Checking that references of this sort have non-null values requires
|
|
extra code, however, and it is unnecessary for many programs. You can
|
|
use `\|\c
|
|
.B \-fnonnull-objects\c
|
|
\&\|' to omit the checks for null, if your
|
|
program doesn't require checking.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fpcc\-struct\-return
|
|
Use the same convention for returning \c
|
|
.B struct\c
|
|
\& and \c
|
|
.B union
|
|
values that is used by the usual C compiler on your system. This
|
|
convention is less efficient for small structures, and on many
|
|
machines it fails to be reentrant; but it has the advantage of
|
|
allowing intercallability between GCC-compiled code and PCC-compiled
|
|
code.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-freg\-struct\-return
|
|
Use the convention that
|
|
.B struct
|
|
and
|
|
.B union
|
|
values are returned in registers when possible. This is more
|
|
efficient for small structures than
|
|
.BR \-fpcc\-struct\-return .
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you specify neither
|
|
.B \-fpcc\-struct\-return
|
|
nor
|
|
.BR \-freg\-struct\-return ,
|
|
GNU CC defaults to whichever convention is standard for the target.
|
|
If there is no standard convention, GNU CC defaults to
|
|
.BR \-fpcc\-struct\-return .
|

.TP
|

.B \-fshort\-enums
|
|
Allocate to an \c
|
|
.B enum\c
|

\& type only as many bytes as it needs for the
|
|
declared range of possible values. Specifically, the \c
|
|
.B enum\c
|
|
\& type
|
|
will be equivalent to the smallest integer type which has enough room.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fshort\-double
|
|
Use the same size for
|
|
.B double
|
|
as for
|
|
.B float
|
|
\&.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fshared\-data
|
|
Requests that the data and non-\c
|
|
.B const\c
|
|
\& variables of this
|
|
compilation be shared data rather than private data. The distinction
|
|
makes sense only on certain operating systems, where shared data is
|
|
shared between processes running the same program, while private data
|
|
exists in one copy per process.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-common
|
|
Allocate even uninitialized global variables in the bss section of the
|
|
object file, rather than generating them as common blocks. This has the
|
|
effect that if the same variable is declared (without \c
|
|
.B extern\c
|
|
\&) in
|
|
two different compilations, you will get an error when you link them.
|
|
The only reason this might be useful is if you wish to verify that the
|
|
program will work on other systems which always work this way.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-ident
|
|
Ignore the `\|\c
|
|
.B #ident\c
|

\&\|' directive.

.TP
|
|
.B \-fno\-gnu\-linker
|
|
Do not output global initializations (such as C++ constructors and
|
|
destructors) in the form used by the GNU linker (on systems where the GNU
|
|
linker is the standard method of handling them). Use this option when
|
|
you want to use a non-GNU linker, which also requires using the
|
|
.B collect2\c
|
|
\& program to make sure the system linker includes
|
|
constructors and destructors. (\c
|
|
.B collect2\c

distribution.) For systems which \c

.B \-finhibit-size-directive
|
|
Don't output a \c
|
|
.B .size\c
|
|
\& assembler directive, or anything else that
|
|
would cause trouble if the function is split in the middle, and the
|
|
two halves are placed at locations far apart in memory. This option is
|
|
used when compiling `\|\c
|
|
.B crtstuff.c\c
|
|
\&\|'; you should not need to use it
|
|
for anything else.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-fverbose-asm
|
|
Put extra commentary information in the generated assembly code to
|
|
make it more readable. This option is generally only of use to those

who actually need to read the generated assembly code (perhaps while
|
|
debugging the compiler itself).

Consider all memory references through pointers to be volatile.

Consider all memory references to extern and global data items to

If supported for the target machines, generate position-independent code,

|
.SH PRAGMAS
|
|
Two `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma\c
|
|
\&\|' directives are supported for GNU C++, to permit using the same
|
|
header file for two purposes: as a definition of interfaces to a given
|
|
object class, and as the full definition of the contents of that object class.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B #pragma interface
|
|
(C++ only.)
|
|
Use this directive in header files that define object classes, to save
|
|
space in most of the object files that use those classes. Normally,
|
|
local copies of certain information (backup copies of inline member
|
|
functions, debugging information, and the internal tables that
|
|
implement virtual functions) must be kept in each object file that
|
|
includes class definitions. You can use this pragma to avoid such
|
|
duplication. When a header file containing `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma interface\c
|
|
\&\|' is included in a compilation, this auxiliary information
|
|
will not be generated (unless the main input source file itself uses
|
|
`\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma implementation\c
|
|
\&\|'). Instead, the object files will contain references to be
|
|
resolved at link time.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B #pragma implementation
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB#pragma implementation "\fP\fIobjects\fP\fB.h"\fP
|
|
(C++ only.)
|
|
Use this pragma in a main input file, when you want full output from
|
|
included header files to be generated (and made globally visible).
|
|
The included header file, in turn, should use `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma interface\c
|
|
\&\|'.
|
|
Backup copies of inline member functions, debugging information, and
|
|
the internal tables used to implement virtual functions are all
|
|
generated in implementation files.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you use `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma implementation\c
|
|
\&\|' with no argument, it applies to an include file with the same
|
|
basename as your source file; for example, in `\|\c
|
|
.B allclass.cc\c
|
|
\&\|', `\|\c
|
|
.B #pragma implementation\c
|
|
\&\|' by itself is equivalent to `\|\c
|
|
.B
|
|
#pragma implementation "allclass.h"\c
|
|
\&\|'. Use the string argument if you want a single implementation
|
|
file to include code from multiple header files.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
There is no way to split up the contents of a single header file into
|
|
multiple implementation files.
