Only the most useful options are listed here; see below for the
|
|
remainder. \fBg++\fR accepts mostly the same options as \fBgcc\fR.
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
When you invoke \s-1GCC\s0, it normally does preprocessing, compilation,
|
|
assembly and linking. The \*(L"overall options\*(R" allow you to stop this
|
|
process at an intermediate stage. For example, the \fB\-c\fR option
|
|
says not to run the linker. Then the output consists of object files
|
|
output by the assembler.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Other options are passed on to one stage of processing. Some options
|
|
control the preprocessor and others the compiler itself. Yet other
|
|
options control the assembler and linker; most of these are not
|
|
documented here, since you rarely need to use any of them.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Most of the command line options that you can use with \s-1GCC\s0 are useful
|
|
for C programs; when an option is only useful with another language
|
|
(usually \*(C+), the explanation says so explicitly. If the description
|
|
for a particular option does not mention a source language, you can use
|
|
that option with all supported languages.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fBgcc\fR program accepts options and file names as operands. Many
|
|
options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter options
|
|
may \fInot\fR be grouped: \fB\-dr\fR is very different from \fB\-d\ \-r\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can mix options and other arguments. For the most part, the order
|
|
you use doesn't matter. Order does matter when you use several options
|
|
of the same kind; for example, if you specify \fB\-L\fR more than once,
|
|
the directories are searched in the order specified.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Many options have long names starting with \fB\-f\fR or with
|
|
\&\fB\-W\fR\-\-\-for example,
|
|
\&\fB\-fmove\-loop\-invariants\fR, \fB\-Wformat\fR and so on. Most of
|
|
these have both positive and negative forms; the negative form of
|
|
\&\fB\-ffoo\fR would be \fB\-fno\-foo\fR. This manual documents
|
|
only one of these two forms, whichever one is not the default.

.IX Subsection "Options Controlling the Kind of Output"
|
|
Compilation can involve up to four stages: preprocessing, compilation
|
|
proper, assembly and linking, always in that order. \s-1GCC\s0 is capable of
|
|
preprocessing and compiling several files either into several
|
|
assembler input files, or into one assembler input file; then each
|
|
assembler input file produces an object file, and linking combines all
|
|
the object files (those newly compiled, and those specified as input)
|
|
into an executable file.
|
|
.PP
|

For any given input file, the file name suffix determines what kind of
|

compilation is done:

Normally the \fBgcc\fR program will exit with the code of 1 if any

phase of the compiler returns a non-success return code. If you specify

|
\&\fB\-pass\-exit\-codes\fR, the \fBgcc\fR program will instead return with

numerically highest error produced by any phase that returned an error
|
|
indication. The C, \*(C+, and Fortran frontends return 4, if an internal
|
|
compiler error is encountered.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you only want some of the stages of compilation, you can use
|
|
\&\fB\-x\fR (or filename suffixes) to tell \fBgcc\fR where to start, and
|
|
one of the options \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-S\fR, or \fB\-E\fR to say where
|
|
\&\fBgcc\fR is to stop. Note that some combinations (for example,
|
|
\&\fB\-x cpp-output \-E\fR) instruct \fBgcc\fR to do nothing at all.

.IP "\fB\-c\fR" 4

Compile or assemble the source files, but do not link. The linking

By default, the object file name for a source file is made by replacing

the suffix \fB.c\fR, \fB.i\fR, \fB.s\fR, etc., with \fB.o\fR.

Unrecognized input files, not requiring compilation or assembly, are

Stop after the stage of compilation proper; do not assemble. The output

Input files which don't require preprocessing are ignored.

.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR" 4

Place output in file \fIfile\fR. This applies regardless to whatever

an object file, an assembler file or preprocessed C code.
|

If \fB\-o\fR is not specified, the default is to put an executable

\&\fI\fIsource\fI.\fIsuffix\fI\fR in \fI\fIsource\fI.o\fR, its

assembler file in \fI\fIsource\fI.s\fR, a precompiled header file in

Like \fB\-v\fR except the commands are not executed and all command

driver-generated command lines.

.IP "\fB\-pipe\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-pipe"
|
|
Use pipes rather than temporary files for communication between the
|
|
various stages of compilation. This fails to work on some systems where
|
|
the assembler is unable to read from a pipe; but the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler has
|
|
no trouble.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-combine\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-combine"
|
|
If you are compiling multiple source files, this option tells the driver
|
|
to pass all the source files to the compiler at once (for those
|
|
languages for which the compiler can handle this). This will allow
|
|
intermodule analysis (\s-1IMA\s0) to be performed by the compiler. Currently the only
|
|
language for which this is supported is C. If you pass source files for
|
|
multiple languages to the driver, using this option, the driver will invoke
|
|
the compiler(s) that support \s-1IMA\s0 once each, passing each compiler all the
|
|
source files appropriate for it. For those languages that do not support
|
|
\&\s-1IMA\s0 this option will be ignored, and the compiler will be invoked once for
|
|
each source file in that language. If you use this option in conjunction
|
|
with \fB\-save\-temps\fR, the compiler will generate multiple
|
|
pre-processed files
|
|
(one for each source file), but only one (combined) \fI.o\fR or
|
|
\&\fI.s\fR file.

Print (on the standard output) a description of the command line options

|
|
invoked by \fBgcc\fR, so that they can display the command line options
|

they accept. If the \fB\-Wextra\fR option is also specified then command

be displayed.

Inject friend functions into the enclosing namespace, so that they are

visible outside the scope of the class in which they are declared.
|
|
Friend functions were documented to work this way in the old Annotated
|
|
\&\*(C+ Reference Manual, and versions of G++ before 4.1 always worked
|
|
that way. However, in \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+ a friend function which is not declared
|

in an enclosing scope can only be found using argument dependent

|
lookup. This option causes friends to be injected as they were in

.IP "\fB\-fvisibility\-inlines\-hidden\fR" 4

This switch declares that the user does not attempt to compare
|
|
pointers to inline methods where the addresses of the two functions
|
|
were taken in different shared objects.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The effect of this is that \s-1GCC\s0 may, effectively, mark inline methods with
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_attribute_\|_ ((visibility ("hidden")))\*(C'\fR so that they do not
|
|
appear in the export table of a \s-1DSO\s0 and do not require a \s-1PLT\s0 indirection
|
|
when used within the \s-1DSO\s0. Enabling this option can have a dramatic effect
|
|
on load and link times of a \s-1DSO\s0 as it massively reduces the size of the
|
|
dynamic export table when the library makes heavy use of templates.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The behaviour of this switch is not quite the same as marking the
|
|
methods as hidden directly, because it does not affect static variables
|
|
local to the function or cause the compiler to deduce that
|
|
the function is defined in only one shared object.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
You may mark a method as having a visibility explicitly to negate the
|
|
effect of the switch for that method. For example, if you do want to
|
|
compare pointers to a particular inline method, you might mark it as
|
|
having default visibility. Marking the enclosing class with explicit
|
|
visibility will have no effect.

Explicitly instantiated inline methods are unaffected by this option

Warn when G++ generates code that is probably not compatible with the

vendor-neutral \*(C+ \s-1ABI\s0. Although an effort has been made to warn about
|
|
all such cases, there are probably some cases that are not warned about,

even though G++ is generating incompatible code. There may also be
|
|
cases where warnings are emitted even though the code that is generated
|
|
will be compatible.

You should rewrite your code to avoid these warnings if you are

concerned about the fact that code generated by G++ may not be binary

The known incompatibilities at this point include:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Incorrect handling of tail-padding for bit\-fields. G++ may attempt to
|
|
pack data into the same byte as a base class. For example:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& struct A { virtual void f(); int f1 : 1; };
|
|
\& struct B : public A { int f2 : 1; };
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In this case, G++ will place \f(CW\*(C`B::f2\*(C'\fR into the same byte
|
|
as\f(CW\*(C`A::f1\*(C'\fR; other compilers will not. You can avoid this problem
|
|
by explicitly padding \f(CW\*(C`A\*(C'\fR so that its size is a multiple of the
|
|
byte size on your platform; that will cause G++ and other compilers to
|
|
layout \f(CW\*(C`B\*(C'\fR identically.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Incorrect handling of tail-padding for virtual bases. G++ does not use
|
|
tail padding when laying out virtual bases. For example:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 3
|
|
\& struct A { virtual void f(); char c1; };
|
|
\& struct B { B(); char c2; };
|
|
\& struct C : public A, public virtual B {};
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In this case, G++ will not place \f(CW\*(C`B\*(C'\fR into the tail-padding for
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`A\*(C'\fR; other compilers will. You can avoid this problem by
|
|
explicitly padding \f(CW\*(C`A\*(C'\fR so that its size is a multiple of its
|
|
alignment (ignoring virtual base classes); that will cause G++ and other
|
|
compilers to layout \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR identically.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Incorrect handling of bit-fields with declared widths greater than that
|
|
of their underlying types, when the bit-fields appear in a union. For
|
|
example:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& union U { int i : 4096; };
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Assuming that an \f(CW\*(C`int\*(C'\fR does not have 4096 bits, G++ will make the
|
|
union too small by the number of bits in an \f(CW\*(C`int\*(C'\fR.
|
|
.IP "*" 4
|
|
Empty classes can be placed at incorrect offsets. For example:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& struct A {};
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|

.Sp
|
|
.Vb 1
|
|
\& struct C : public B, public A {};
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
G++ will place the \f(CW\*(C`A\*(C'\fR base class of \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR at a nonzero offset;
|
|
it should be placed at offset zero. G++ mistakenly believes that the
|

\&\f(CW\*(C`A\*(C'\fR data member of \f(CW\*(C`B\*(C'\fR is already at offset zero.

support in G++, if the name of the friend is an unqualified-id (i.e.,

friend declare or define an ordinary, nontemplate function. (Section

.Sh "Options to Control Diagnostic Messages Formatting"
|
|
.IX Subsection "Options to Control Diagnostic Messages Formatting"
|
|
Traditionally, diagnostic messages have been formatted irrespective of
|
|
the output device's aspect (e.g. its width, ...). The options described
|
|
below can be used to control the diagnostic messages formatting
|
|
algorithm, e.g. how many characters per line, how often source location
|
|
information should be reported. Right now, only the \*(C+ front end can
|
|
honor these options. However it is expected, in the near future, that
|
|
the remaining front ends would be able to digest them correctly.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-fmessage\-length=\fR\fIn\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-fmessage-length=n"
|
|
Try to format error messages so that they fit on lines of about \fIn\fR
|
|
characters. The default is 72 characters for \fBg++\fR and 0 for the rest of
|
|
the front ends supported by \s-1GCC\s0. If \fIn\fR is zero, then no
|
|
line-wrapping will be done; each error message will appear on a single
|
|
line.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-fdiagnostics\-show\-location=once\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-fdiagnostics-show-location=once"
|
|
Only meaningful in line-wrapping mode. Instructs the diagnostic messages
|
|
reporter to emit \fIonce\fR source location information; that is, in
|
|
case the message is too long to fit on a single physical line and has to
|
|
be wrapped, the source location won't be emitted (as prefix) again,
|
|
over and over, in subsequent continuation lines. This is the default
|
|
behavior.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-fdiagnostics\-show\-location=every\-line\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-fdiagnostics-show-location=every-line"
|
|
Only meaningful in line-wrapping mode. Instructs the diagnostic
|
|
messages reporter to emit the same source location information (as
|
|
prefix) for physical lines that result from the process of breaking
|
|
a message which is too long to fit on a single line.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-fdiagnostics\-show\-option\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "-fdiagnostics-show-option"
|

This option instructs the diagnostic machinery to add text to each

controls that diagnostic, when such an option is known to the

diagnostic machinery.

.Sh "Options to Request or Suppress Warnings"
|
|
.IX Subsection "Options to Request or Suppress Warnings"
|
|
Warnings are diagnostic messages that report constructions which
|
|
are not inherently erroneous but which are risky or suggest there
|
|
may have been an error.
|
|
.PP
|
|
You can request many specific warnings with options beginning \fB\-W\fR,
|
|
for example \fB\-Wimplicit\fR to request warnings on implicit
|
|
declarations. Each of these specific warning options also has a
|
|
negative form beginning \fB\-Wno\-\fR to turn off warnings;
|
|
for example, \fB\-Wno\-implicit\fR. This manual lists only one of the
|
|
two forms, whichever is not the default.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The following options control the amount and kinds of warnings produced
|
|
by \s-1GCC\s0; for further, language-specific options also refer to
|
|
\&\fB\*(C+ Dialect Options\fR.

.IP "\fB\-pedantic\fR" 4

.IX Item "-pedantic"
|
|
Issue all the warnings demanded by strict \s-1ISO\s0 C and \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+;

|
reject all programs that use forbidden extensions, and some other
|
|
programs that do not follow \s-1ISO\s0 C and \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+. For \s-1ISO\s0 C, follows the

version of the \s-1ISO\s0 C standard specified by any \fB\-std\fR option used.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Valid \s-1ISO\s0 C and \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+ programs should compile properly with or without
|
|
this option (though a rare few will require \fB\-ansi\fR or a
|
|
\&\fB\-std\fR option specifying the required version of \s-1ISO\s0 C). However,
|
|
without this option, certain \s-1GNU\s0 extensions and traditional C and \*(C+
|
|
features are supported as well. With this option, they are rejected.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\fB\-pedantic\fR does not cause warning messages for use of the
|
|
alternate keywords whose names begin and end with \fB_\|_\fR. Pedantic
|
|
warnings are also disabled in the expression that follows
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_extension_\|_\*(C'\fR. However, only system header files should use
|
|
these escape routes; application programs should avoid them.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Some users try to use \fB\-pedantic\fR to check programs for strict \s-1ISO\s0
|
|
C conformance. They soon find that it does not do quite what they want:
|
|
it finds some non-ISO practices, but not all\-\-\-only those for which
|
|
\&\s-1ISO\s0 C \fIrequires\fR a diagnostic, and some others for which
|
|
diagnostics have been added.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
A feature to report any failure to conform to \s-1ISO\s0 C might be useful in
|
|
some instances, but would require considerable additional work and would
|
|
be quite different from \fB\-pedantic\fR. We don't have plans to
|
|
support such a feature in the near future.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Where the standard specified with \fB\-std\fR represents a \s-1GNU\s0
|
|
extended dialect of C, such as \fBgnu89\fR or \fBgnu99\fR, there is a
|
|
corresponding \fIbase standard\fR, the version of \s-1ISO\s0 C on which the \s-1GNU\s0
|
|
extended dialect is based. Warnings from \fB\-pedantic\fR are given
|
|
where they are required by the base standard. (It would not make sense
|
|
for such warnings to be given only for features not in the specified \s-1GNU\s0
|
|
C dialect, since by definition the \s-1GNU\s0 dialects of C include all
|
|
features the compiler supports with the given option, and there would be
|
|
nothing to warn about.)

.IP "\fB\-Wformat\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wformat"
|
|
Check calls to \f(CW\*(C`printf\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`scanf\*(C'\fR, etc., to make sure that
|
|
the arguments supplied have types appropriate to the format string
|
|
specified, and that the conversions specified in the format string make
|
|
sense. This includes standard functions, and others specified by format
|
|
attributes, in the \f(CW\*(C`printf\*(C'\fR,
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`scanf\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`strftime\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`strfmon\*(C'\fR (an X/Open extension,
|
|
not in the C standard) families (or other target-specific families).
|
|
Which functions are checked without format attributes having been
|
|
specified depends on the standard version selected, and such checks of
|
|
functions without the attribute specified are disabled by
|
|
\&\fB\-ffreestanding\fR or \fB\-fno\-builtin\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The formats are checked against the format features supported by \s-1GNU\s0
|
|
libc version 2.2. These include all \s-1ISO\s0 C90 and C99 features, as well
|
|
as features from the Single Unix Specification and some \s-1BSD\s0 and \s-1GNU\s0
|
|
extensions. Other library implementations may not support all these
|
|
features; \s-1GCC\s0 does not support warning about features that go beyond a
|
|
particular library's limitations. However, if \fB\-pedantic\fR is used
|
|
with \fB\-Wformat\fR, warnings will be given about format features not
|
|
in the selected standard version (but not for \f(CW\*(C`strfmon\*(C'\fR formats,
|
|
since those are not in any version of the C standard).
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Since \fB\-Wformat\fR also checks for null format arguments for

several functions, \fB\-Wformat\fR also implies \fB\-Wnonnull\fR.
|

.Sp
|
|
\&\fB\-Wformat\fR is included in \fB\-Wall\fR. For more control over some

If \fB\-Wformat\fR is specified, do not warn about excess arguments to a

\&\f(CW\*(C`printf\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`scanf\*(C'\fR format function. The C standard specifies
|
|
that such arguments are ignored.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Where the unused arguments lie between used arguments that are
|
|
specified with \fB$\fR operand number specifications, normally
|
|
warnings are still given, since the implementation could not know what
|
|
type to pass to \f(CW\*(C`va_arg\*(C'\fR to skip the unused arguments. However,
|
|
in the case of \f(CW\*(C`scanf\*(C'\fR formats, this option will suppress the

|
warning if the unused arguments are all pointers, since the Single

.IP "\fB\-Wno\-format\-zero\-length\fR" 4

.IX Item "-Wno-format-zero-length"

currently a subset of what \fB\-Wformat\-nonliteral\fR warns about, but

In C, every \f(CW\*(C`else\*(C'\fR branch belongs to the innermost possible \f(CW\*(C`if\*(C'\fR

statement, which in this example is \f(CW\*(C`if (b)\*(C'\fR. This is often not

Warn about code that may have undefined semantics because of violations
|
|
of sequence point rules in the C and \*(C+ standards.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The C and \*(C+ standards defines the order in which expressions in a C/\*(C+
|
|
program are evaluated in terms of \fIsequence points\fR, which represent
|
|
a partial ordering between the execution of parts of the program: those
|
|
executed before the sequence point, and those executed after it. These
|
|
occur after the evaluation of a full expression (one which is not part
|
|
of a larger expression), after the evaluation of the first operand of a
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`&&\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`||\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`? :\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`,\*(C'\fR (comma) operator, before a
|
|
function is called (but after the evaluation of its arguments and the
|
|
expression denoting the called function), and in certain other places.
|
|
Other than as expressed by the sequence point rules, the order of
|
|
evaluation of subexpressions of an expression is not specified. All
|
|
these rules describe only a partial order rather than a total order,
|
|
since, for example, if two functions are called within one expression
|
|
with no sequence point between them, the order in which the functions
|
|
are called is not specified. However, the standards committee have
|
|
ruled that function calls do not overlap.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
It is not specified when between sequence points modifications to the
|
|
values of objects take effect. Programs whose behavior depends on this
|
|
have undefined behavior; the C and \*(C+ standards specify that \*(L"Between
|
|
the previous and next sequence point an object shall have its stored
|
|
value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression.
|
|
Furthermore, the prior value shall be read only to determine the value
|
|
to be stored.\*(R". If a program breaks these rules, the results on any
|
|
particular implementation are entirely unpredictable.

|
.Sp
|
|
Examples of code with undefined behavior are \f(CW\*(C`a = a++;\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`a[n]
|
|
= b[n++]\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`a[i++] = i;\*(C'\fR. Some more complicated cases are not
|
|
diagnosed by this option, and it may give an occasional false positive
|
|
result, but in general it has been found fairly effective at detecting
|
|
this sort of problem in programs.

.Sp
|
|
The standard is worded confusingly, therefore there is some debate
|

over the precise meaning of the sequence point rules in subtle cases.

In order to get a warning about an unused function parameter, you must

Warn if an automatic variable is used without first being initialized or

if a variable may be clobbered by a \f(CW\*(C`setjmp\*(C'\fR call.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
These warnings are possible only in optimizing compilation,
|
|
because they require data flow information that is computed only
|
|
when optimizing. If you do not specify \fB\-O\fR, you will not get
|
|
these warnings. Instead, \s-1GCC\s0 will issue a warning about \fB\-Wuninitialized\fR
|
|
requiring \fB\-O\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you want to warn about code which uses the uninitialized value of the
|
|
variable in its own initializer, use the \fB\-Winit\-self\fR option.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
These warnings occur for individual uninitialized or clobbered
|
|
elements of structure, union or array variables as well as for
|
|
variables which are uninitialized or clobbered as a whole. They do
|
|
not occur for variables or elements declared \f(CW\*(C`volatile\*(C'\fR. Because
|
|
these warnings depend on optimization, the exact variables or elements
|
|
for which there are warnings will depend on the precise optimization
|
|
options and version of \s-1GCC\s0 used.
|
|
.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 \s-1GCC\s0 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
|
|
.Vb 12
|
|
\& {
|
|
\& int x;
|
|
\& switch (y)
|
|
\& {
|
|
\& case 1: x = 1;
|
|
\& break;
|
|
\& case 2: x = 4;
|
|
\& break;
|
|
\& case 3: x = 5;
|
|
\& }
|
|
\& foo (x);
|
|
\& }
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If the value of \f(CW\*(C`y\*(C'\fR is always 1, 2 or 3, then \f(CW\*(C`x\*(C'\fR is
|
|
always initialized, but \s-1GCC\s0 doesn't know this. Here is
|
|
another common case:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 6
|
|
\& {
|
|
\& int save_y;
|
|
\& if (change_y) save_y = y, y = new_y;
|
|
\& ...
|
|
\& if (change_y) y = save_y;
|
|
\& }
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This has no bug because \f(CW\*(C`save_y\*(C'\fR is used only if it is set.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option also warns when a non-volatile automatic variable might be
|
|
changed by a call to \f(CW\*(C`longjmp\*(C'\fR. These warnings as well are possible
|
|
only in optimizing compilation.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The compiler sees only the calls to \f(CW\*(C`setjmp\*(C'\fR. It cannot know
|
|
where \f(CW\*(C`longjmp\*(C'\fR will be called; in fact, a signal handler could
|
|
call it at any point in the code. As a result, you may get a warning
|
|
even when there is in fact no problem because \f(CW\*(C`longjmp\*(C'\fR cannot
|
|
in fact be called at the place which would cause a problem.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Some spurious warnings can be avoided if you declare all the functions
|
|
you use that never return as \f(CW\*(C`noreturn\*(C'\fR.

.IX Item "-Wstrict-overflow=n"
|
|
.PD
|
|
This option is only active when \fB\-fstrict\-overflow\fR is active.
|
|
It warns about cases where the compiler optimizes based on the
|
|
assumption that signed overflow does not occur. Note that it does not
|
|
warn about all cases where the code might overflow: it only warns
|
|
about cases where the compiler implements some optimization. Thus
|
|
this warning depends on the optimization level.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
An optimization which assumes that signed overflow does not occur is
|
|
perfectly safe if the values of the variables involved are such that
|
|
overflow never does, in fact, occur. Therefore this warning can
|
|
easily give a false positive: a warning about code which is not
|
|
actually a problem. To help focus on important issues, several
|
|
warning levels are defined. No warnings are issued for the use of
|
|
undefined signed overflow when estimating how many iterations a loop
|
|
will require, in particular when determining whether a loop will be

|
executed at all.

Warn about cases which are both questionable and easy to avoid. For

example: \f(CW\*(C`x + 1 > x\*(C'\fR; with \fB\-fstrict\-overflow\fR, the

Also warn about other cases where a comparison is simplified to a

|
constant. For example: \f(CW\*(C`abs (x) >= 0\*(C'\fR. This can only be

simplified when \fB\-fstrict\-overflow\fR is in effect, because
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`abs (INT_MIN)\*(C'\fR overflows to \f(CW\*(C`INT_MIN\*(C'\fR, which is less than
|

zero. \fB\-Wstrict\-overflow\fR (with no level) is the same as

\&\fB\-Wstrict\-overflow=2\fR.
|

|
|
.IP "@option<\-Wstrict\-overflow=4>" 4
|

.IX Item "@option<-Wstrict-overflow=4>"
|

Also warn about other simplifications not covered by the above cases.

For example: \f(CW\*(C`(x * 10) / 5\*(C'\fR will be simplified to \f(CW\*(C`x * 2\*(C'\fR.
|
|
.IP "@option<\-Wstrict\-overflow=5>" 4
|
|
.IX Item "@option<-Wstrict-overflow=5>"
|
|
Also warn about cases where the compiler reduces the magnitude of a
|
|
constant involved in a comparison. For example: \f(CW\*(C`x + 2 > y\*(C'\fR will
|
|
be simplified to \f(CW\*(C`x + 1 >= y\*(C'\fR. This is reported only at the
|
|
highest warning level because this simplification applies to many

|
comparisons, so this warning level will give a very large number of

false positives.

The idea behind this is that sometimes it is convenient (for the

infinitely precise real numbers. If you are doing this, then you need

|
to compute (by analyzing the code, or in some other way) the maximum or

|
likely maximum error that the computation introduces, and allow for it
|
|
when performing comparisons (and when producing output, but that's a
|
|
different problem). In particular, instead of testing for equality, you
|
|
would check to see whether the two values have ranges that overlap; and

|
this is done with the relational operators, so equality comparisons are

|
probably mistaken.

Use of \s-1ISO\s0 C style function definitions. This warning intentionally is
|
|
\&\fInot\fR issued for prototype declarations or variadic functions
|
|
because these \s-1ISO\s0 C features will appear in your code when using
|
|
libiberty's traditional C compatibility macros, \f(CW\*(C`PARAMS\*(C'\fR and
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`VPARAMS\*(C'\fR. This warning is also bypassed for nested functions
|
|
because that feature is already a \s-1GCC\s0 extension and thus not relevant to
|
|
traditional C compatibility.

|
construct, known from \*(C+, was introduced with \s-1ISO\s0 C99 and is by default
|
|
allowed in \s-1GCC\s0. It is not supported by \s-1ISO\s0 C90 and was not supported by

|
|
Warn about anything that depends on the \*(L"size of\*(R" a function type or

|
of \f(CW\*(C`void\*(C'\fR. \s-1GNU\s0 C assigns these types a size of 1, for

Warn about \s-1ISO\s0 C constructs that are outside of the common subset of

Warn whenever a pointer is cast so as to remove a type qualifier from

|
|
to an ordinary \f(CW\*(C`char *\*(C'\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wcast\-align\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wcast-align"
|

Warn whenever a pointer is cast such that the required alignment of the
|

target is increased. For example, warn if a \f(CW\*(C`char *\*(C'\fR is cast to
|
|
an \f(CW\*(C`int *\*(C'\fR on machines where integers can only be accessed at

|
two\- or four-byte boundaries.

.IP "\fB\-Wwrite\-strings\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wwrite-strings"
|
|
When compiling C, give string constants the type \f(CW\*(C`const
|
|
char[\f(CIlength\f(CW]\*(C'\fR so that
|
|
copying the address of one into a non\-\f(CW\*(C`const\*(C'\fR \f(CW\*(C`char *\*(C'\fR
|
|
pointer will get a warning; when compiling \*(C+, warn about the
|
|
deprecated conversion from string literals to \f(CW\*(C`char *\*(C'\fR. This
|
|
warning, by default, is enabled for \*(C+ programs.
|
|
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 \f(CW\*(C`const\*(C'\fR in
|
|
declarations and prototypes. Otherwise, it will just be a nuisance;
|
|
this is why we did not make \fB\-Wall\fR request these warnings.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wconversion\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-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.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Also, warn if a negative integer constant expression is implicitly
|
|
converted to an unsigned type. For example, warn about the assignment
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`x = \-1\*(C'\fR if \f(CW\*(C`x\*(C'\fR is unsigned. But do not warn about explicit
|
|
casts like \f(CW\*(C`(unsigned) \-1\*(C'\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wsign\-compare\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wsign-compare"
|
|
Warn when a comparison between signed and unsigned values could produce
|
|
an incorrect result when the signed value is converted to unsigned.
|
|
This warning is also enabled by \fB\-Wextra\fR; to get the other warnings
|
|
of \fB\-Wextra\fR without this warning, use \fB\-Wextra \-Wno\-sign\-compare\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Waddress\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Waddress"
|
|
Warn about suspicious uses of memory addresses. These include using
|
|
the address of a function in a conditional expression, such as
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`void func(void); if (func)\*(C'\fR, and comparisons against the memory
|
|
address of a string literal, such as \f(CW\*(C`if (x == "abc")\*(C'\fR. Such
|
|
uses typically indicate a programmer error: the address of a function
|
|
always evaluates to true, so their use in a conditional usually
|
|
indicate that the programmer forgot the parentheses in a function
|
|
call; and comparisons against string literals result in unspecified
|
|
behavior and are not portable in C, so they usually indicate that the
|
|
programmer intended to use \f(CW\*(C`strcmp\*(C'\fR. This warning is enabled by
|
|
\&\fB\-Wall\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Waggregate\-return\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-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.)
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wno\-attributes\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wno-attributes"
|
|
Do not warn if an unexpected \f(CW\*(C`_\|_attribute_\|_\*(C'\fR is used, such as
|
|
unrecognized attributes, function attributes applied to variables,
|
|
etc. This will not stop errors for incorrect use of supported
|
|
attributes.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wstrict\-prototypes\fR (C only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wstrict-prototypes (C only)"
|
|
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.)
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wold\-style\-definition\fR (C only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wold-style-definition (C only)"
|
|
Warn if an old-style function definition is used. A warning is given
|
|
even if there is a previous prototype.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wmissing\-prototypes\fR (C only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wmissing-prototypes (C only)"
|
|
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.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wmissing\-declarations\fR (C only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wmissing-declarations (C only)"
|
|
Warn if a global function is defined without a previous declaration.
|
|
Do so even if the definition itself provides a prototype.
|
|
Use this option to detect global functions that are not declared in
|
|
header files.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wmissing\-field\-initializers\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wmissing-field-initializers"
|
|
Warn if a structure's initializer has some fields missing. For
|
|
example, the following code would cause such a warning, because
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`x.h\*(C'\fR is implicitly zero:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& struct s { int f, g, h; };
|
|
\& struct s x = { 3, 4 };
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option does not warn about designated initializers, so the following
|
|
modification would not trigger a warning:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 2
|
|
\& struct s { int f, g, h; };
|
|
\& struct s x = { .f = 3, .g = 4 };
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This warning is included in \fB\-Wextra\fR. To get other \fB\-Wextra\fR
|
|
warnings without this one, use \fB\-Wextra \-Wno\-missing\-field\-initializers\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wmissing\-noreturn\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wmissing-noreturn"
|
|
Warn about functions which might be candidates for attribute \f(CW\*(C`noreturn\*(C'\fR.
|
|
Note these are only possible candidates, not absolute ones. Care should
|
|
be taken to manually verify functions actually do not ever return before
|
|
adding the \f(CW\*(C`noreturn\*(C'\fR attribute, otherwise subtle code generation
|
|
bugs could be introduced. You will not get a warning for \f(CW\*(C`main\*(C'\fR in
|
|
hosted C environments.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wmissing\-format\-attribute\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wmissing-format-attribute"
|
|
Warn about function pointers which might be candidates for \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR
|
|
attributes. Note these are only possible candidates, not absolute ones.
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0 will guess that function pointers with \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR attributes that
|
|
are used in assignment, initialization, parameter passing or return
|
|
statements should have a corresponding \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR attribute in the
|
|
resulting type. I.e. the left-hand side of the assignment or
|
|
initialization, the type of the parameter variable, or the return type
|
|
of the containing function respectively should also have a \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR
|
|
attribute to avoid the warning.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0 will also warn about function definitions which might be
|
|
candidates for \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR attributes. Again, these are only
|
|
possible candidates. \s-1GCC\s0 will guess that \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR attributes
|
|
might be appropriate for any function that calls a function like
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`vprintf\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`vscanf\*(C'\fR, but this might not always be the
|
|
case, and some functions for which \f(CW\*(C`format\*(C'\fR attributes are
|
|
appropriate may not be detected.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wno\-multichar\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wno-multichar"
|
|
Do not warn if a multicharacter constant (\fB'\s-1FOOF\s0'\fR) is used.
|
|
Usually they indicate a typo in the user's code, as they have
|
|
implementation-defined values, and should not be used in portable code.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wnormalized=<none|id|nfc|nfkc>\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wnormalized=<none|id|nfc|nfkc>"
|
|
In \s-1ISO\s0 C and \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+, two identifiers are different if they are
|
|
different sequences of characters. However, sometimes when characters
|
|
outside the basic \s-1ASCII\s0 character set are used, you can have two
|
|
different character sequences that look the same. To avoid confusion,
|
|
the \s-1ISO\s0 10646 standard sets out some \fInormalization rules\fR which
|
|
when applied ensure that two sequences that look the same are turned into
|
|
the same sequence. \s-1GCC\s0 can warn you if you are using identifiers which
|
|
have not been normalized; this option controls that warning.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
There are four levels of warning that \s-1GCC\s0 supports. The default is
|
|
\&\fB\-Wnormalized=nfc\fR, which warns about any identifier which is
|
|
not in the \s-1ISO\s0 10646 \*(L"C\*(R" normalized form, \fI\s-1NFC\s0\fR. \s-1NFC\s0 is the
|
|
recommended form for most uses.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Unfortunately, there are some characters which \s-1ISO\s0 C and \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+ allow
|
|
in identifiers that when turned into \s-1NFC\s0 aren't allowable as
|
|
identifiers. That is, there's no way to use these symbols in portable
|
|
\&\s-1ISO\s0 C or \*(C+ and have all your identifiers in \s-1NFC\s0.
|
|
\&\fB\-Wnormalized=id\fR suppresses the warning for these characters.
|
|
It is hoped that future versions of the standards involved will correct
|
|
this, which is why this option is not the default.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
You can switch the warning off for all characters by writing
|
|
\&\fB\-Wnormalized=none\fR. You would only want to do this if you
|
|
were using some other normalization scheme (like \*(L"D\*(R"), because
|
|
otherwise you can easily create bugs that are literally impossible to see.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Some characters in \s-1ISO\s0 10646 have distinct meanings but look identical
|
|
in some fonts or display methodologies, especially once formatting has
|
|
been applied. For instance \f(CW\*(C`\eu207F\*(C'\fR, \*(L"\s-1SUPERSCRIPT\s0 \s-1LATIN\s0 \s-1SMALL\s0
|
|
\&\s-1LETTER\s0 N\*(R", will display just like a regular \f(CW\*(C`n\*(C'\fR which has been
|
|
placed in a superscript. \s-1ISO\s0 10646 defines the \fI\s-1NFKC\s0\fR
|
|
normalization scheme to convert all these into a standard form as
|
|
well, and \s-1GCC\s0 will warn if your code is not in \s-1NFKC\s0 if you use
|
|
\&\fB\-Wnormalized=nfkc\fR. This warning is comparable to warning
|
|
about every identifier that contains the letter O because it might be
|
|
confused with the digit 0, and so is not the default, but may be
|
|
useful as a local coding convention if the programming environment is
|
|
unable to be fixed to display these characters distinctly.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wno\-deprecated\-declarations\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wno-deprecated-declarations"
|
|
Do not warn about uses of functions,
|
|
variables, and types marked as deprecated by using the \f(CW\*(C`deprecated\*(C'\fR
|
|
attribute.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wno\-overflow\fR" 4

|
Do not warn about compile-time overflow in constant expressions.
|

.IP "\fB\-Woverride\-init\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Woverride-init"
|
|
Warn if an initialized field without side effects is overridden when
|
|
using designated initializers.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This warning is included in \fB\-Wextra\fR. To get other
|
|
\&\fB\-Wextra\fR warnings without this one, use \fB\-Wextra
|
|
\&\-Wno\-override\-init\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wpacked\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wpacked"
|
|
Warn if a structure is given the packed attribute, but the packed
|
|
attribute has no effect on the layout or size of the structure.
|
|
Such structures may be mis-aligned for little benefit. For
|
|
instance, in this code, the variable \f(CW\*(C`f.x\*(C'\fR in \f(CW\*(C`struct bar\*(C'\fR
|
|
will be misaligned even though \f(CW\*(C`struct bar\*(C'\fR does not itself
|
|
have the packed attribute:
|
|
.Sp
|
|
.Vb 8
|
|
\& struct foo {
|
|
\& int x;
|
|
\& char a, b, c, d;
|
|
\& } __attribute__((packed));
|
|
\& struct bar {
|
|
\& char z;

|
\& struct foo f;
|
|
\& };
|
|
.Ve
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wpadded\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wpadded"
|
|
Warn if padding is included in a structure, either to align an element
|
|
of the structure or to align the whole structure. Sometimes when this
|
|
happens it is possible to rearrange the fields of the structure to
|
|
reduce the padding and so make the structure smaller.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wredundant\-decls\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wredundant-decls"
|
|
Warn if anything is declared more than once in the same scope, even in
|
|
cases where multiple declaration is valid and changes nothing.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wnested\-externs\fR (C only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wnested-externs (C only)"
|
|
Warn if an \f(CW\*(C`extern\*(C'\fR declaration is encountered within a function.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wunreachable\-code\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wunreachable-code"
|
|
Warn if the compiler detects that code will never be executed.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option is intended to warn when the compiler detects that at
|
|
least a whole line of source code will never be executed, because
|
|
some condition is never satisfied or because it is after a
|
|
procedure that never returns.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
It is possible for this option to produce a warning even though there
|
|
are circumstances under which part of the affected line can be executed,
|
|
so care should be taken when removing apparently-unreachable code.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
For instance, when a function is inlined, a warning may mean that the
|
|
line is unreachable in only one inlined copy of the function.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option is not made part of \fB\-Wall\fR because in a debugging
|
|
version of a program there is often substantial code which checks
|
|
correct functioning of the program and is, hopefully, unreachable
|
|
because the program does work. Another common use of unreachable
|
|
code is to provide behavior which is selectable at compile\-time.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Winline\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Winline"
|
|
Warn if a function can not be inlined and it was declared as inline.
|
|
Even with this option, the compiler will not warn about failures to
|
|
inline functions declared in system headers.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The compiler uses a variety of heuristics to determine whether or not
|
|
to inline a function. For example, the compiler takes into account
|
|
the size of the function being inlined and the amount of inlining
|
|
that has already been done in the current function. Therefore,
|
|
seemingly insignificant changes in the source program can cause the
|
|
warnings produced by \fB\-Winline\fR to appear or disappear.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Wno\-invalid\-offsetof\fR (\*(C+ only)" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Wno-invalid-offsetof ( only)"
|
|
Suppress warnings from applying the \fBoffsetof\fR macro to a non-POD
|
|
type. According to the 1998 \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+ standard, applying \fBoffsetof\fR
|
|
to a non-POD type is undefined. In existing \*(C+ implementations,
|
|
however, \fBoffsetof\fR typically gives meaningful results even when
|
|
applied to certain kinds of non-POD types. (Such as a simple
|
|
\&\fBstruct\fR that fails to be a \s-1POD\s0 type only by virtue of having a
|
|
constructor.) This flag is for users who are aware that they are
|
|
writing nonportable code and who have deliberately chosen to ignore the
|
|
warning about it.

|
of the \*(C+ standard.

.IP "\fB\-Wdisabled\-optimization\fR" 4

.IX Item "-Wdisabled-optimization"
|
|
Warn if a requested optimization pass is disabled. This warning does
|
|
not generally indicate that there is anything wrong with your code; it
|
|
merely indicates that \s-1GCC\s0's optimizers were unable to handle the code
|
|
effectively. Often, the problem is that your code is too big or too
|
|
complex; \s-1GCC\s0 will refuse to optimize programs when the optimization

itself is likely to take inordinate amounts of time.

either your program or \s-1GCC:\s0

.IP "\fB\-g\fR" 4

|
|
Produce debugging information in the operating system's native format
|

information.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
On most systems that use stabs format, \fB\-g\fR enables use of extra
|
|
debugging information that only \s-1GDB\s0 can use; this extra information
|
|
makes debugging work better in \s-1GDB\s0 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 \fB\-gstabs+\fR, \fB\-gstabs\fR,
|
|
\&\fB\-gxcoff+\fR, \fB\-gxcoff\fR, or \fB\-gvms\fR (see below).
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0 allows you to use \fB\-g\fR with
|
|
\&\fB\-O\fR. 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.

Nevertheless it proves possible to debug optimized output. This makes
|
|
it reasonable to use the optimizer for programs that might have bugs.

Instead of emitting debugging information for a \*(C+ class in only one

|
|
should be used only with debuggers that are unable to handle the way \s-1GCC\s0

Higher verbosity levels mean either more information dumped for each

If \fIn\fR=4, data-references related information (e.g. memory dependences,

If \fIn\fR=5, the vectorizer reports also non-vectorized inner-most loops
|

that did not pass the first analysis phase (i.e. may not be countable, or

may have complicated control\-flow).

|
If \fIn\fR=6, the vectorizer reports also non-vectorized nested loops.

For \fIn\fR=7, all the information the vectorizer generates during its

This option provides a seed that \s-1GCC\s0 uses when it would otherwise use

that have to be different in every compiled file. It is also used to

place unique stamps in coverage data files and the object files that

produce them. You can use the \fB\-frandom\-seed\fR option to produce

.IP "\fB\-fsched\-verbose=\fR\fIn\fR" 4

.IX Item "-fsched-verbose=n"

On targets that use instruction scheduling, this option controls the

written to standard error, unless \fB\-dS\fR or \fB\-dR\fR is
|
|
specified, in which case it is output to the usual dump

listing file, \fI.sched\fR or \fI.sched2\fR respectively. However

for \fIn\fR greater than nine, the output is always printed to standard

|
error.
|
|
.Sp
|

For \fIn\fR greater than zero, \fB\-fsched\-verbose\fR outputs the

|
same information as \fB\-dRS\fR. For \fIn\fR greater than one, it

also output basic block probabilities, detailed ready list information

Store the usual \*(L"temporary\*(R" intermediate files permanently; place them

in the current directory and name them based on the source file. Thus,

|
compiling \fIfoo.c\fR with \fB\-c \-save\-temps\fR would produce files
|
|
\&\fIfoo.i\fR and \fIfoo.s\fR, as well as \fIfoo.o\fR. This creates a

|
preprocessed \fIfoo.i\fR output file even though the compiler now
|
|
normally uses an integrated preprocessor.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
When used in combination with the \fB\-x\fR command line option,
|
|
\&\fB\-save\-temps\fR is sensible enough to avoid over writing an

Report the \s-1CPU\s0 time taken by each subprocess in the compilation

Normally, when producing \s-1DWARF2\s0 output, \s-1GCC\s0 will emit debugging

|
information for all types declared in a compilation

unit, regardless of whether or not they are actually used

in that compilation unit. Sometimes this is useful, such as

if, in the debugger, you want to cast a value to a type that is

not actually used in your program (but is declared). More often,

however, this results in a significant amount of wasted space.

.Sh "Options That Control Optimization"
|
|
.IX Subsection "Options That Control Optimization"
|
|
These options control various sorts of optimizations.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Without any optimization option, 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Turning on optimization flags makes the compiler attempt to improve
|
|
the performance and/or code size at the expense of compilation time
|
|
and possibly the ability to debug the program.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The compiler performs optimization based on the knowledge it has of
|
|
the program. Optimization levels \fB\-O\fR and above, in
|
|
particular, enable \fIunit-at-a-time\fR mode, which allows the
|
|
compiler to consider information gained from later functions in
|
|
the file when compiling a function. Compiling multiple files at
|
|
once to a single output file in \fIunit-at-a-time\fR mode allows
|
|
the compiler to use information gained from all of the files when
|
|
compiling each of them.
|

Not all optimizations are controlled directly by a flag. Only

optimizations that have a flag are listed.

value of \fIn\fR is 600.

Increasing this value can result in more inlined code at

the cost of compilation time and memory consumption. Decreasing usually makes

the compilation faster and less code will be inlined (which presumably

Allows the compiler to assume the strictest aliasing rules applicable to

optimizations based on the type of expressions. In particular, an

object of one type is assumed never to reside at the same address as an

|
object of a different type, unless the types are almost the same. For

example, an \f(CW\*(C`unsigned int\*(C'\fR can alias an \f(CW\*(C`int\*(C'\fR, but not a

.IX Item "-fstrict-overflow"
|

Allow the compiler to assume strict signed overflow rules, depending

|
on the language being compiled. For C (and \*(C+) this means that
|
|
overflow when doing arithmetic with signed numbers is undefined, which
|
|
means that the compiler may assume that it will not happen. This
|
|
permits various optimizations. For example, the compiler will assume
|
|
that an expression like \f(CW\*(C`i + 10 > i\*(C'\fR will always be true for
|
|
signed \f(CW\*(C`i\*(C'\fR. This assumption is only valid if signed overflow is
|
|
undefined, as the expression is false if \f(CW\*(C`i + 10\*(C'\fR overflows when
|
|
using twos complement arithmetic. When this option is in effect any
|
|
attempt to determine whether an operation on signed numbers will
|
|
overflow must be written carefully to not actually involve overflow.
|
|
.Sp
|

See also the \fB\-fwrapv\fR option. Using \fB\-fwrapv\fR means

\&\fB\-fstrict\-overflow\fR and \fB\-fno\-strict\-overflow\fR. With

constants, the overflowed value can still be used with

These options control the C preprocessor, which is run on each C source
|
|
file before actual compilation.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If you use the \fB\-E\fR option, nothing is done except preprocessing.
|
|
Some of these options make sense only together with \fB\-E\fR because
|
|
they cause the preprocessor output to be unsuitable for actual
|
|
compilation.

.RS 4

You can use \fB\-Wp,\fR\fIoption\fR to bypass the compiler driver
|
|
and pass \fIoption\fR directly through to the preprocessor. If
|
|
\&\fIoption\fR contains commas, it is split into multiple options at the
|
|
commas. However, many options are modified, translated or interpreted
|
|
by the compiler driver before being passed to the preprocessor, and
|
|
\&\fB\-Wp\fR forcibly bypasses this phase. The preprocessor's direct
|
|
interface is undocumented and subject to change, so whenever possible
|
|
you should avoid using \fB\-Wp\fR and let the driver handle the
|
|
options instead.

Pass \fIoption\fR as an option to the preprocessor. You can use this to

The contents of \fIdefinition\fR are tokenized and processed as if

they appeared during translation phase three in a \fB#define\fR

|
embedded newline characters.

If you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like

program you may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect
|
|
characters such as spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax.

.Sp
|
|
If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line, write
|
|
its argument list with surrounding parentheses before the equals sign
|
|
(if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells, so you will need
|
|
to quote the option. With \fBsh\fR and \fBcsh\fR,

Directories named by \fB\-I\fR are searched before the standard

Most trigraphs in comments cannot affect the meaning of the program.

However, a trigraph that would form an escaped newline (\fB??/\fR at

This option is implied by \fB\-Wall\fR. If \fB\-Wall\fR is not

given, this option is still enabled unless trigraphs are enabled. To

The preprocessor will also warn if the macro has not been used at the

Built-in macros, macros defined on the command line, and macros

defined in include files are not warned about.

.Sp
|

\&\fINote:\fR If a macro is actually used, but only used in skipped

Issue all the mandatory diagnostics, and make all mandatory diagnostics

.IP "\fB\-M\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-M"
|
|
Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a rule
|
|
suitable for \fBmake\fR describing the dependencies of the main
|
|
source file. The preprocessor outputs one \fBmake\fR rule containing
|
|
the object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of all
|
|
the included files, including those coming from \fB\-include\fR or
|
|
\&\fB\-imacros\fR command line options.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Unless specified explicitly (with \fB\-MT\fR or \fB\-MQ\fR), the
|
|
object file name consists of the basename of the source file with any
|
|
suffix replaced with object file suffix. If there are many included
|
|
files then the rule is split into several lines using \fB\e\fR\-newline.
|
|
The rule has no commands.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This option does not suppress the preprocessor's debug output, such as
|
|
\&\fB\-dM\fR. To avoid mixing such debug output with the dependency
|
|
rules you should explicitly specify the dependency output file with
|
|
\&\fB\-MF\fR, or use an environment variable like
|
|
\&\fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR. Debug output
|
|
will still be sent to the regular output stream as normal.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Passing \fB\-M\fR to the driver implies \fB\-E\fR, and suppresses
|
|
warnings with an implicit \fB\-w\fR.

.IP "\fB\-MM\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "-MM"
|

Like \fB\-M\fR but do not mention header files that are found in

|
system header directories, nor header files that are included,
|
|
directly or indirectly, from such a header.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This implies that the choice of angle brackets or double quotes in an
|
|
\&\fB#include\fR directive does not in itself determine whether that
|
|
header will appear in \fB\-MM\fR dependency output. This is a
|
|
slight change in semantics from \s-1GCC\s0 versions 3.0 and earlier.
|

.IP "\fB\-MF\fR \fIfile\fR" 4

When used with \fB\-M\fR or \fB\-MM\fR, specifies a

preprocessed output.

|
.IX Item "-MG"
|

In conjunction with an option such as \fB\-M\fR requesting
|

dependency generation, \fB\-MG\fR assumes missing header files are
|
|
generated files and adds them to the dependency list without raising
|
|
an error. The dependency filename is taken directly from the
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`#include\*(C'\fR directive without prepending any path. \fB\-MG\fR
|
|
also suppresses preprocessed output, as a missing header file renders

this useless.

This feature is used in automatic updating of makefiles.

.IP "\fB\-MP\fR" 4

.IX Item "-MP"
|

This option instructs \s-1CPP\s0 to add a phony target for each dependency

dummy rules work around errors \fBmake\fR gives if you remove header
|

files without updating the \fIMakefile\fR to match.

Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation. By
|
|
default \s-1CPP\s0 takes the name of the main input file, including any path,
|
|
deletes any file suffix such as \fB.c\fR, and appends the platform's
|
|
usual object suffix. The result is the target.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
An \fB\-MT\fR option will set the target to be exactly the string you
|
|
specify. If you want multiple targets, you can specify them as a single
|
|
argument to \fB\-MT\fR, or use multiple \fB\-MT\fR options.
|

For example, \fB\-MT\ '$(objpfx)foo.o'\fR might give

|
.IX Item "-MD"
|
|
\&\fB\-MD\fR is equivalent to \fB\-M \-MF\fR \fIfile\fR, except that
|
|
\&\fB\-E\fR is not implied. The driver determines \fIfile\fR based on
|
|
whether an \fB\-o\fR option is given. If it is, the driver uses its
|
|
argument but with a suffix of \fI.d\fR, otherwise it take the
|
|
basename of the input file and applies a \fI.d\fR suffix.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If \fB\-MD\fR is used in conjunction with \fB\-E\fR, any
|
|
\&\fB\-o\fR switch is understood to specify the dependency output file, but if used without \fB\-E\fR, each \fB\-o\fR
|
|
is understood to specify a target object file.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Since \fB\-E\fR is not implied, \fB\-MD\fR can be used to generate
|
|
a dependency output file as a side-effect of the compilation process.

.IP "\fB\-MMD\fR" 4

When using precompiled headers, this flag

|
will cause the dependency-output flags to also list the files from the
|
|
precompiled header's dependencies. If not specified only the

precompiled header would be listed and not the files that were used to

|
create it because those files are not consulted when a precompiled

header is used.

.IP "\fB\-fpch\-preprocess\fR" 4

This option allows use of a precompiled header together with \fB\-E\fR. It inserts a special \f(CW\*(C`#pragma\*(C'\fR,
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`#pragma GCC pch_preprocess "<filename>"\*(C'\fR in the output to mark
|
|
the place where the precompiled header was found, and its filename. When
|
|
\&\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR is in use, \s-1GCC\s0 recognizes this \f(CW\*(C`#pragma\*(C'\fR and
|
|
loads the \s-1PCH\s0.
|
|

|
|
This option is off by default, because the resulting preprocessed output

is only really suitable as input to \s-1GCC\s0. It is switched on by

You should not write this \f(CW\*(C`#pragma\*(C'\fR in your own code, but it is

along with the directive.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
You should be prepared for side effects when using \fB\-C\fR; it
|
|
causes the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right.
|

For example, comments appearing at the start of what would be a

source line, since the first token on the line is no longer a \fB#\fR.

In addition to the side-effects of the \fB\-C\fR option, the

The linker searches a standard list of directories for the library,

Normally the files found this way are library files\-\-\-archive files

scanning through it for members which define symbols that have so far

been referenced but not defined. But if the file that is found is an

|
ordinary object file, it is linked in the usual fashion. The only
|
|
difference between using an \fB\-l\fR option and specifying a file name

for some uses of \f(CW\*(C`dlopen\*(C'\fR or to allow obtaining backtraces

.IX Item "-static-libgcc"
|
|
.PD
|
|
On systems that provide \fIlibgcc\fR as a shared library, these options
|
|
force the use of either the shared or static version respectively.
|
|
If no shared version of \fIlibgcc\fR was built when the compiler was
|
|
configured, these options have no effect.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
There are several situations in which an application should use the
|
|
shared \fIlibgcc\fR instead of the static version. The most common
|
|
of these is when the application wishes to throw and catch exceptions
|
|
across different shared libraries. In that case, each of the libraries
|
|
as well as the application itself should use the shared \fIlibgcc\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Therefore, the G++ and \s-1GCJ\s0 drivers automatically add
|
|
\&\fB\-shared\-libgcc\fR whenever you build a shared library or a main
|
|
executable, because \*(C+ and Java programs typically use exceptions, so
|
|
this is the right thing to do.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If, instead, you use the \s-1GCC\s0 driver to create shared libraries, you may
|
|
find that they will not always be linked with the shared \fIlibgcc\fR.
|
|
If \s-1GCC\s0 finds, at its configuration time, that you have a non-GNU linker
|
|
or a \s-1GNU\s0 linker that does not support option \fB\-\-eh\-frame\-hdr\fR,
|
|
it will link the shared version of \fIlibgcc\fR into shared libraries
|
|
by default. Otherwise, it will take advantage of the linker and optimize
|
|
away the linking with the shared version of \fIlibgcc\fR, linking with
|
|
the static version of libgcc by default. This allows exceptions to
|
|
propagate through such shared libraries, without incurring relocation
|
|
costs at library load time.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
However, if a library or main executable is supposed to throw or catch
|
|
exceptions, you must link it using the G++ or \s-1GCJ\s0 driver, as appropriate
|
|
for the languages used in the program, or using the option
|
|
\&\fB\-shared\-libgcc\fR, such that it is linked with the shared
|
|
\&\fIlibgcc\fR.
|

.IP "\fB\-symbolic\fR" 4

.IX Item "-symbolic"
|
|
Bind references to global symbols when building a shared object. Warn
|
|
about any unresolved references (unless overridden by the link editor
|
|
option \fB\-Xlinker \-z \-Xlinker defs\fR). Only a few systems support
|
|
this option.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-Xlinker\fR \fIoption\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Xlinker option"
|
|
Pass \fIoption\fR as an option to the linker. You can use this to
|
|
supply system-specific linker options which \s-1GCC\s0 does not know how to
|
|
recognize.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you want to pass an option that takes an argument, you must use
|
|
\&\fB\-Xlinker\fR twice, once for the option and once for the argument.
|
|
For example, to pass \fB\-assert definitions\fR, you must write
|
|
\&\fB\-Xlinker \-assert \-Xlinker definitions\fR. It does not work to write
|
|
\&\fB\-Xlinker \*(L"\-assert definitions\*(R"\fR, because this passes the entire
|
|
string as a single argument, which is not what the linker expects.

.IP "\fB\-Wl,\fR\fIoption\fR" 4

Pretend the symbol \fIsymbol\fR is undefined, to force linking of

different symbols to force loading of additional library modules.

.Sh "Options for Directory Search"

These options specify directories to search for header files, for

libraries and for parts of the compiler:
|
|
.IP "\fB\-I\fR\fIdir\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-Idir"
|
|
Add the directory \fIdir\fR to the head of the list of directories to be
|
|
searched for header files. This can be used to override a system header
|
|
file, substituting your own version, since these directories are
|
|
searched before the system header file directories. However, you should
|
|
not use this option to add directories that contain vendor-supplied
|
|
system header files (use \fB\-isystem\fR for that). If you use more than
|
|
one \fB\-I\fR option, the directories are scanned in left-to-right
|
|
order; the standard system directories come after.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If a standard system include directory, or a directory specified with
|
|
\&\fB\-isystem\fR, is also specified with \fB\-I\fR, the \fB\-I\fR
|
|
option will be ignored. The directory will still be searched but as a
|
|
system directory at its normal position in the system include chain.
|
|
This is to ensure that \s-1GCC\s0's procedure to fix buggy system headers and
|
|
the ordering for the include_next directive are not inadvertently changed.
|
|
If you really need to change the search order for system directories,
|
|
use the \fB\-nostdinc\fR and/or \fB\-isystem\fR options.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-iquote\fR\fIdir\fR" 4

Add the directory \fIdir\fR to the head of the list of directories to

be searched for header files only for the case of \fB#include
|
|
"\fR\fIfile\fR\fB"\fR; they are not searched for \fB#include <\fR\fIfile\fR\fB>\fR,

.IP "\fB\-B\fR\fIprefix\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "-Bprefix"
|
|
This option specifies where to find the executables, libraries,
|
|
include files, and data files of the compiler itself.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The compiler driver program runs one or more of the subprograms
|
|
\&\fIcpp\fR, \fIcc1\fR, \fIas\fR and \fIld\fR. It tries
|
|
\&\fIprefix\fR as a prefix for each program it tries to run, both with and
|
|
without \fImachine\fR\fB/\fR\fIversion\fR\fB/\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
For each subprogram to be run, the compiler driver first tries the
|
|
\&\fB\-B\fR prefix, if any. If that name is not found, or if \fB\-B\fR
|
|
was not specified, the driver tries two standard prefixes, which are
|
|
\&\fI/usr/lib/gcc/\fR and \fI/usr/local/lib/gcc/\fR. If neither of
|
|
those results in a file name that is found, the unmodified program
|
|
name is searched for using the directories specified in your
|
|
\&\fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR environment variable.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The compiler will check to see if the path provided by the \fB\-B\fR
|
|
refers to a directory, and if necessary it will add a directory
|
|
separator character at the end of the path.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\fB\-B\fR prefixes that effectively specify directory names also apply
|
|
to libraries in the linker, because the compiler translates these
|
|
options into \fB\-L\fR options for the linker. They also apply to
|
|
includes files in the preprocessor, because the compiler translates these
|
|
options into \fB\-isystem\fR options for the preprocessor. In this case,
|
|
the compiler appends \fBinclude\fR to the prefix.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The run-time support file \fIlibgcc.a\fR can also be searched for using
|
|
the \fB\-B\fR 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.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Another way to specify a prefix much like the \fB\-B\fR prefix is to use
|
|
the environment variable \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
As a special kludge, if the path provided by \fB\-B\fR is
|
|
\&\fI[dir/]stage\fIN\fI/\fR, where \fIN\fR is a number in the range 0 to
|
|
9, then it will be replaced by \fI[dir/]include\fR. This is to help
|
|
with boot-strapping the compiler.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-specs=\fR\fIfile\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-specs=file"
|
|
Process \fIfile\fR after the compiler reads in the standard \fIspecs\fR
|
|
file, in order to override the defaults that the \fIgcc\fR driver
|
|
program uses when determining what switches to pass to \fIcc1\fR,
|
|
\&\fIcc1plus\fR, \fIas\fR, \fIld\fR, etc. More than one
|
|
\&\fB\-specs=\fR\fIfile\fR can be specified on the command line, and they
|
|
are processed in order, from left to right.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-\-sysroot=\fR\fIdir\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "--sysroot=dir"
|
|
Use \fIdir\fR as the logical root directory for headers and libraries.
|
|
For example, if the compiler would normally search for headers in
|
|
\&\fI/usr/include\fR and libraries in \fI/usr/lib\fR, it will instead
|
|
search \fI\fIdir\fI/usr/include\fR and \fI\fIdir\fI/usr/lib\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you use both this option and the \fB\-isysroot\fR option, then
|
|
the \fB\-\-sysroot\fR option will apply to libraries, but the
|
|
\&\fB\-isysroot\fR option will apply to header files.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \s-1GNU\s0 linker (beginning with version 2.16) has the necessary support
|
|
for this option. If your linker does not support this option, the
|
|
header file aspect of \fB\-\-sysroot\fR will still work, but the
|
|
library aspect will not.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-I\-\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-I-"
|
|
This option has been deprecated. Please use \fB\-iquote\fR instead for
|
|
\&\fB\-I\fR directories before the \fB\-I\-\fR and remove the \fB\-I\-\fR.
|
|
Any directories you specify with \fB\-I\fR options before the \fB\-I\-\fR
|
|
option are searched only for the case of \fB#include "\fR\fIfile\fR\fB"\fR;
|
|
they are not searched for \fB#include <\fR\fIfile\fR\fB>\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If additional directories are specified with \fB\-I\fR options after
|
|
the \fB\-I\-\fR, these directories are searched for all \fB#include\fR
|
|
directives. (Ordinarily \fIall\fR \fB\-I\fR directories are used
|
|
this way.)
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In addition, the \fB\-I\-\fR option inhibits the use of the current
|
|
directory (where the current input file came from) as the first search
|
|
directory for \fB#include "\fR\fIfile\fR\fB"\fR. There is no way to
|
|
override this effect of \fB\-I\-\fR. With \fB\-I.\fR 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
|
|
\&\fB\-I\-\fR does not inhibit the use of the standard system directories
|
|
for header files. Thus, \fB\-I\-\fR and \fB\-nostdinc\fR are
|
|
independent.

.Sh "Specifying Target Machine and Compiler Version"

The usual way to run \s-1GCC\s0 is to run the executable called \fIgcc\fR, or
|
|
\&\fI<machine>\-gcc\fR when cross\-compiling, or
|
|
\&\fI<machine>\-gcc\-<version>\fR to run a version other than the one that
|
|
was installed last. Sometimes this is inconvenient, so \s-1GCC\s0 provides
|
|
options that will switch to another cross-compiler or version.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-b\fR \fImachine\fR" 4
|

.IX Item "-b machine"

The argument \fImachine\fR specifies the target machine for compilation.

The value to use for \fImachine\fR is the same as was specified as the

|
|
example, if a cross-compiler was configured with \fBconfigure
|
|
arm-elf\fR, meaning to compile for an arm processor with elf binaries,
|
|
then you would specify \fB\-b arm-elf\fR to run that cross compiler.
|
|
Because there are other options beginning with \fB\-b\fR, the

configuration must contain a hyphen.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-V\fR \fIversion\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-V version"
|
|
The argument \fIversion\fR specifies which version of \s-1GCC\s0 to run.
|

This is useful when multiple versions are installed. For example,
|
|
\&\fIversion\fR might be \fB4.0\fR, meaning to run \s-1GCC\s0 version 4.0.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB\-V\fR and \fB\-b\fR options work by running the

\&\fI<machine>\-gcc\-<version>\fR executable, so there's no real reason to

use them if you can just run that directly.

This option is very similar to the \fB\-mcpu=\fR option, except that
|
|
instead of specifying the actual target processor type, and hence
|
|
restricting which instructions can be used, it specifies that \s-1GCC\s0 should
|
|
tune the performance of the code as if the target were of the type
|
|
specified in this option, but still choosing the instructions that it
|
|
will generate based on the cpu specified by a \fB\-mcpu=\fR option.

For some \s-1ARM\s0 implementations better performance can be obtained by using

this option.

The size of all structures and unions will be rounded up to a multiple

of the number of bits set by this option. Permissible values are 8, 32
|

and 64. The default value varies for different toolchains. For the \s-1COFF\s0

targeted toolchain the default value is 8. A value of 64 is only allowed

if the underlying \s-1ABI\s0 supports it.

Specifying the larger number can produce faster, more efficient code, but

can also increase the size of the program. Different values are potentially

work with code or libraries compiled with another value, if they exchange

Tells the compiler to perform function calls by first loading the

Even if this switch is enabled, not all function calls will be turned

into long calls. The heuristic is that static functions, functions

which have the \fBshort-call\fR attribute, functions that are inside
|
|
the scope of a \fB#pragma no_long_calls\fR directive and functions whose
|
|
definitions have already been compiled within the current compilation
|
|
unit, will not be turned into long calls. The exception to this rule is

that weak function definitions, functions with the \fBlong-call\fR

attribute or the \fBsection\fR attribute, and functions that are within
|
|
the scope of a \fB#pragma long_calls\fR directive, will always be

turned into long calls.

\&\s-1FSF\s0 \s-1GCC\s0 on Darwin does not create \*(L"fat\*(R" object files; it will create
|
|
an object file for the single architecture that it was built to

|
target. Apple's \s-1GCC\s0 on Darwin does create \*(L"fat\*(R" files if multiple

linker multiple times and joining the results together with

|
|
.PP
|
|
The subtype of the file created (like \fBppc7400\fR or \fBppc970\fR or

\&\fBi686\fR) is determined by the flags that specify the \s-1ISA\s0
|

|
\&\fB\-force_cpusubtype_ALL\fR option can be used to override this.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The Darwin tools vary in their behavior when presented with an \s-1ISA\s0
|
|
mismatch. The assembler, \fIas\fR, will only permit instructions to
|
|
be used that are valid for the subtype of the file it is generating,
|
|
so you cannot put 64\-bit instructions in an \fBppc750\fR object file.
|

The linker for shared libraries, \fI/usr/bin/libtool\fR, will fail
|
|
and print an error if asked to create a shared library with a less
|
|
restrictive subtype than its input files (for instance, trying to put
|
|
a \fBppc970\fR object file in a \fBppc7400\fR library). The linker

for executables, \fIld\fR, will quietly give the executable the most

A framework directory is a directory with frameworks in it. A

framework is a directory with a \fB\*(L"Headers\*(R"\fR and/or
|
|
\&\fB\*(L"PrivateHeaders\*(R"\fR directory contained directly in it that ends
|
|
in \fB\*(L".framework\*(R"\fR. The name of a framework is the name of this

directory excluding the \fB\*(L".framework\*(R"\fR. Headers associated with
|
|
the framework are found in one of those two directories, with
|
|
\&\fB\*(L"Headers\*(R"\fR being searched first. A subframework is a framework
|
|
directory that is in a framework's \fB\*(L"Frameworks\*(R"\fR directory.
|
|
Includes of subframework headers can only appear in a header of a
|
|
framework that contains the subframework, or in a sibling subframework
|
|
header. Two subframeworks are siblings if they occur in the same
|
|
framework. A subframework should not have the same name as a
|
|
framework, a warning will be issued if this is violated. Currently a
|
|
subframework cannot have subframeworks, in the future, the mechanism
|
|
may be extended to support this. The standard frameworks can be found
|
|
in \fB\*(L"/System/Library/Frameworks\*(R"\fR and
|
|
\&\fB\*(L"/Library/Frameworks\*(R"\fR. An example include looks like
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`#include <Framework/header.h>\*(C'\fR, where \fBFramework\fR denotes

the name of the framework and header.h is found in the

Use (do not use) the hardware floating-point instructions for

floating-point operations. When \fB\-msoft\-float\fR is specified,

functions in \fIlibgcc.a\fR will be used to perform floating-point

|
emulations routines, these routines will issue floating-point

operations. If you are compiling for an Alpha without floating-point

them.

Generate code that uses long call sequences. This ensures that a call

|
long calls only when the distance from the call site to the beginning
|
|
of the function or translation unit, as the case may be, exceeds a
|
|
predefined limit set by the branch type being used. The limits for

normal calls are 7,600,000 and 240,000 bytes, respectively for the
|
|
\&\s-1PA\s0 2.0 and \s-1PA\s0 1.X architectures. Sibcalls are always limited at

performance. However, it may be useful in large applications,

particularly when partial linking is used to build the application.
|

.Sp
|
|
The types of long calls used depends on the capabilities of the
|
|
assembler and linker, and the type of code being generated. The
|
|
impact on systems that support long absolute calls, and long pic
|
|
symbol-difference or pc-relative calls should be relatively small.

However, an indirect call is used on 32\-bit \s-1ELF\s0 systems in pic code

and it is quite long.

|
|
.PP
|
|
These \fB\-m\fR options are defined for the i386 and x86\-64 family of
|
|
computers:
|
|
.IP "\fB\-mtune=\fR\fIcpu-type\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-mtune=cpu-type"
|
|
Tune to \fIcpu-type\fR everything applicable about the generated code, except
|
|
for the \s-1ABI\s0 and the set of available instructions. The choices for
|
|
\&\fIcpu-type\fR are:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.IP "\fIgeneric\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "generic"
|
|
Produce code optimized for the most common \s-1IA32/AMD64/EM64T\s0 processors.
|
|
If you know the \s-1CPU\s0 on which your code will run, then you should use
|
|
the corresponding \fB\-mtune\fR option instead of
|
|
\&\fB\-mtune=generic\fR. But, if you do not know exactly what \s-1CPU\s0 users
|
|
of your application will have, then you should use this option.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
As new processors are deployed in the marketplace, the behavior of this
|
|
option will change. Therefore, if you upgrade to a newer version of
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0, the code generated option will change to reflect the processors
|
|
that were most common when that version of \s-1GCC\s0 was released.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
There is no \fB\-march=generic\fR option because \fB\-march\fR
|
|
indicates the instruction set the compiler can use, and there is no
|
|
generic instruction set applicable to all processors. In contrast,
|
|
\&\fB\-mtune\fR indicates the processor (or, in this case, collection of
|
|
processors) for which the code is optimized.
|
|
.IP "\fInative\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "native"
|
|
This selects the \s-1CPU\s0 to tune for at compilation time by determining
|
|
the processor type of the compiling machine. Using \fB\-mtune=native\fR
|
|
will produce code optimized for the local machine under the constraints
|
|
of the selected instruction set. Using \fB\-march=native\fR will
|
|
enable all instruction subsets supported by the local machine (hence
|
|
the result might not run on different machines).

Use the standard 387 floating point coprocessor present majority of chips and

emulated otherwise. Code compiled with this option will run almost everywhere.

The temporary results are computed in 80bit precision instead of precision

Use scalar floating point instructions present in the \s-1SSE\s0 instruction set.

This instruction set is supported by Pentium3 and newer chips, in the \s-1AMD\s0 line
|
|
by Athlon\-4, Athlon-xp and Athlon-mp chips. The earlier version of \s-1SSE\s0
|
|
instruction set supports only single precision arithmetics, thus the double and
|
|
extended precision arithmetics is still done using 387. Later version, present
|
|
only in Pentium4 and the future \s-1AMD\s0 x86\-64 chips supports double precision
|
|
arithmetics too.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
For the i386 compiler, you need to use \fB\-march=\fR\fIcpu-type\fR, \fB\-msse\fR
|
|
or \fB\-msse2\fR switches to enable \s-1SSE\s0 extensions and make this option
|
|
effective. For the x86\-64 compiler, these extensions are enabled by default.

|
.Sp
|

The resulting code should be considerably faster in the majority of cases and avoid

the numerical instability problems of 387 code, but may break some existing

Attempt to utilize both instruction sets at once. This effectively double the

387 and \s-1SSE\s0 the execution resources too. Use this option with care, as it is

OpenBSD and NetBSD. This option is overridden when \fB\-march\fR

32 bit zero.

Realign the stack at entry. On the Intel x86, the

epilogue that realigns the runtime stack. This supports mixing legacy

codes that keep a 4\-byte aligned stack with modern codes that keep a

|
16\-byte stack for \s-1SSE\s0 compatibility. The alternate prologue and

|
epilogue are slower and bigger than the regular ones, and the
|

Attempt to keep the stack boundary aligned to a 2 raised to \fInum\fR

byte boundary. If \fB\-mpreferred\-stack\-boundary\fR is not specified,
|

the default is 4 (16 bytes or 128 bits).

|
|
On Pentium and PentiumPro, \f(CW\*(C`double\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`long double\*(C'\fR values
|
|
should be aligned to an 8 byte boundary (see \fB\-malign\-double\fR) or
|
|
suffer significant run time performance penalties. On Pentium \s-1III\s0, the
|
|
Streaming \s-1SIMD\s0 Extension (\s-1SSE\s0) data type \f(CW\*(C`_\|_m128\*(C'\fR may not work
|
|
properly if it is not 16 byte aligned.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
To ensure proper alignment of this values on the stack, the stack boundary
|
|
must be as aligned as that required by any value stored on the stack.
|
|
Further, every function must be generated such that it keeps the stack
|
|
aligned. Thus calling a function compiled with a higher preferred
|
|
stack boundary from a function compiled with a lower preferred stack
|
|
boundary will most likely misalign the stack. It is recommended that
|
|
libraries that use callbacks always use the default setting.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This extra alignment does consume extra stack space, and generally
|
|
increases code size. Code that is sensitive to stack space usage, such
|
|
as embedded systems and operating system kernels, may want to reduce the
|
|
preferred alignment to \fB\-mpreferred\-stack\-boundary=2\fR.

\&\s-1GCC\s0 supports two related instruction set architectures for the

\&\s-1RS/6000\s0 and PowerPC. The \fI\s-1POWER\s0\fR instruction set are those
|
|
instructions supported by the \fBrios\fR chip set used in the original
|
|
\&\s-1RS/6000\s0 systems and the \fIPowerPC\fR instruction set is the
|
|
architecture of the Freescale MPC5xx, MPC6xx, MPC8xx microprocessors, and
|
|
the \s-1IBM\s0 4xx, 6xx, and follow-on microprocessors.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Neither architecture is a subset of the other. However there is a
|
|
large common subset of instructions supported by both. An \s-1MQ\s0
|
|
register is included in processors supporting the \s-1POWER\s0 architecture.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
You use these options to specify which instructions are available on the
|
|
processor you are using. The default value of these options is
|
|
determined when configuring \s-1GCC\s0. Specifying the
|
|
\&\fB\-mcpu=\fR\fIcpu_type\fR overrides the specification of these
|
|
options. We recommend you use the \fB\-mcpu=\fR\fIcpu_type\fR option
|
|
rather than the options listed above.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \fB\-mpower\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate instructions that
|
|
are found only in the \s-1POWER\s0 architecture and to use the \s-1MQ\s0 register.
|
|
Specifying \fB\-mpower2\fR implies \fB\-power\fR and also allows \s-1GCC\s0
|
|
to generate instructions that are present in the \s-1POWER2\s0 architecture but
|
|
not the original \s-1POWER\s0 architecture.
|
|
.Sp
|

The \fB\-mpowerpc\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate instructions that
|
|
are found only in the 32\-bit subset of the PowerPC architecture.
|

Specifying \fB\-mpowerpc\-gpopt\fR implies \fB\-mpowerpc\fR and also allows
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0 to use the optional PowerPC architecture instructions in the
|
|
General Purpose group, including floating-point square root. Specifying
|
|
\&\fB\-mpowerpc\-gfxopt\fR implies \fB\-mpowerpc\fR and also allows \s-1GCC\s0 to
|
|
use the optional PowerPC architecture instructions in the Graphics
|
|
group, including floating-point select.
|

.Sp

The \fB\-mmfcrf\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate the move from

condition register field instruction implemented on the \s-1POWER4\s0
|
|
processor and other processors that support the PowerPC V2.01
|
|
architecture.
|

The \fB\-mpopcntb\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate the popcount and
|
|
double precision \s-1FP\s0 reciprocal estimate instruction implemented on the
|
|
\&\s-1POWER5\s0 processor and other processors that support the PowerPC V2.02
|
|
architecture.

The \fB\-mfprnd\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate the \s-1FP\s0 round to
|
|
integer instructions implemented on the \s-1POWER5+\s0 processor and other
|
|
processors that support the PowerPC V2.03 architecture.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \fB\-mpowerpc64\fR option allows \s-1GCC\s0 to generate the additional
|
|
64\-bit instructions that are found in the full PowerPC64 architecture
|
|
and to treat GPRs as 64\-bit, doubleword quantities. \s-1GCC\s0 defaults to
|

\&\fB\-mno\-powerpc64\fR.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If you specify both \fB\-mno\-power\fR and \fB\-mno\-powerpc\fR, \s-1GCC\s0
|
|
will use only the instructions in the common subset of both
|
|
architectures plus some special \s-1AIX\s0 common-mode calls, and will not use
|
|
the \s-1MQ\s0 register. Specifying both \fB\-mpower\fR and \fB\-mpowerpc\fR
|
|
permits \s-1GCC\s0 to use any instruction from either architecture and to
|
|
allow use of the \s-1MQ\s0 register; specify this for the Motorola \s-1MPC601\s0.

Produce code that conforms more closely to \s-1IBM\s0 \s-1XL\s0 compiler semantics

prototyped functions beyond the register save area (\s-1RSA\s0) on the stack

The \s-1AIX\s0 calling convention was extended but not initially documented to

handle an obscure K&R C case of calling a function that takes the

address of its arguments with fewer arguments than declared. \s-1IBM\s0 \s-1XL\s0

compilers access floating point arguments which do not fit in the

\&\s-1RSA\s0 from the stack when a subroutine is compiled without

optimization. Because always storing floating-point arguments on the

stack is inefficient and rarely needed, this option is not enabled by

default and only is necessary when calling subroutines compiled by \s-1IBM\s0

By default assume that all calls are far away so that a longer more

expensive calling sequence is required. This is required for calls
|
|
further than 32 megabytes (33,554,432 bytes) from the current location.

A short call will be generated if the compiler knows

the call cannot be that far away. This setting can be overridden by

the \f(CW\*(C`shortcall\*(C'\fR function attribute, or by \f(CW\*(C`#pragma

longcall(0)\*(C'\fR.
|

.Sp
|
|
Some linkers are capable of detecting out-of-range calls and generating
|
|
glue code on the fly. On these systems, long calls are unnecessary and
|
|
generate slower code. As of this writing, the \s-1AIX\s0 linker can do this,
|
|
as can the \s-1GNU\s0 linker for PowerPC/64. It is planned to add this feature

to the \s-1GNU\s0 linker for 32\-bit PowerPC systems as well.

On Darwin/PPC systems, \f(CW\*(C`#pragma longcall\*(C'\fR will generate \*(L"jbsr
|
|
callee, L42\*(R", plus a \*(L"branch island\*(R" (glue code). The two target
|
|
addresses represent the callee and the \*(L"branch island\*(R". The
|
|
Darwin/PPC linker will prefer the first address and generate a \*(L"bl
|
|
callee\*(R" if the \s-1PPC\s0 \*(L"bl\*(R" instruction will reach the callee directly;
|
|
otherwise, the linker will generate \*(L"bl L42\*(R" to call the \*(L"branch
|
|
island\*(R". The \*(L"branch island\*(R" is appended to the body of the
|
|
calling function; it computes the full 32\-bit address of the callee
|
|
and jumps to it.

On Mach-O (Darwin) systems, this option directs the compiler emit to

the glue for every direct call, and the Darwin linker decides whether

to use or discard it.

A backchain may be needed to allow debugging using tools that do not understand

When \fB\-mno\-packed\-stack\fR is in effect, the backchain pointer is stored

In general, code compiled with \fB\-mbackchain\fR is call-compatible with

Use (do not use) the packed stack layout. When \fB\-mno\-packed\-stack\fR is

specified, the compiler uses the all fields of the 96/160 byte register save

When \fB\-mpacked\-stack\fR is specified, register save slots are densely

packed at the top of the register save area; unused space is reused for other
|
|
purposes, allowing for more efficient use of the available stack space.
|

However, when \fB\-mbackchain\fR is also in effect, the topmost word of

the save area is always used to store the backchain, and the return address

Set the division strategy to use for SHmedia code. \fIstrategy\fR must be
|
|
one of: call, call2, fp, inv, inv:minlat, inv20u, inv20l, inv:call,
|
|
inv:call2, inv:fp .
|
|
\&\*(L"fp\*(R" performs the operation in floating point. This has a very high latency,
|
|
but needs only a few instructions, so it might be a good choice if
|
|
your code has enough easily exploitable \s-1ILP\s0 to allow the compiler to
|
|
schedule the floating point instructions together with other instructions.
|
|
Division by zero causes a floating point exception.
|
|
\&\*(L"inv\*(R" uses integer operations to calculate the inverse of the divisor,
|
|
and then multiplies the dividend with the inverse. This strategy allows
|
|
cse and hoisting of the inverse calculation. Division by zero calculates
|
|
an unspecified result, but does not trap.
|
|
\&\*(L"inv:minlat\*(R" is a variant of \*(L"inv\*(R" where if no cse / hoisting opportunities
|
|
have been found, or if the entire operation has been hoisted to the same
|
|
place, the last stages of the inverse calculation are intertwined with the
|
|
final multiply to reduce the overall latency, at the expense of using a few
|
|
more instructions, and thus offering fewer scheduling opportunities with
|
|
other code.
|
|
\&\*(L"call\*(R" calls a library function that usually implements the inv:minlat
|
|
strategy.
|
|
This gives high code density for m5\-*media\-nofpu compilations.
|
|
\&\*(L"call2\*(R" uses a different entry point of the same library function, where it
|
|
assumes that a pointer to a lookup table has already been set up, which
|
|
exposes the pointer load to cse / code hoisting optimizations.
|
|
\&\*(L"inv:call\*(R", \*(L"inv:call2\*(R" and \*(L"inv:fp\*(R" all use the \*(L"inv\*(R" algorithm for initial
|
|
code generation, but if the code stays unoptimized, revert to the \*(L"call\*(R",
|
|
\&\*(L"call2\*(R", or \*(L"fp\*(R" strategies, respectively. Note that the
|
|
potentially-trapping side effect of division by zero is carried by a
|
|
separate instruction, so it is possible that all the integer instructions
|
|
are hoisted out, but the marker for the side effect stays where it is.
|
|
A recombination to fp operations or a call is not possible in that case.
|
|
\&\*(L"inv20u\*(R" and \*(L"inv20l\*(R" are variants of the \*(L"inv:minlat\*(R" strategy. In the case
|
|
that the inverse calculation was nor separated from the multiply, they speed
|
|
up division where the dividend fits into 20 bits (plus sign where applicable),
|
|
by inserting a test to skip a number of operations in this case; this test
|
|
slows down the case of larger dividends. inv20u assumes the case of a such
|
|
a small dividend to be unlikely, and inv20l assumes it to be likely.

Enable the use of the indexed addressing mode for SHmedia32/SHcompact.

This is only safe if the hardware and/or \s-1OS\s0 implement 32 bit wrap-around

semantics for the indexed addressing mode. The architecture allows the
|
|
implementation of processors with 64 bit \s-1MMU\s0, which the \s-1OS\s0 could use to
|
|
get 32 bit addressing, but since no current hardware implementation supports

this or any other way to make the indexed addressing mode safe to use in

.IP "\fB\-mpt\-fixed\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "-mpt-fixed"
|
|
Assume pt* instructions won't trap. This will generally generate better
|
|
scheduled code, but is unsafe on current hardware. The current architecture
|
|
definition says that ptabs and ptrel trap when the target anded with 3 is 3.
|
|
This has the unintentional effect of making it unsafe to schedule ptabs /
|
|
ptrel before a branch, or hoist it out of a loop. For example,
|
|
_\|_do_global_ctors, a part of libgcc that runs constructors at program
|
|
startup, calls functions in a list which is delimited by \-1. With the
|
|
\&\-mpt\-fixed option, the ptabs will be done before testing against \-1.
|
|
That means that all the constructors will be run a bit quicker, but when
|
|
the loop comes to the end of the list, the program crashes because ptabs
|
|
loads \-1 into a target register. Since this option is unsafe for any
|
|
hardware implementing the current architecture specification, the default
|
|
is \-mno\-pt\-fixed. Unless the user specifies a specific cost with
|
|
\&\fB\-mgettrcost\fR, \-mno\-pt\-fixed also implies \fB\-mgettrcost=100\fR;
|

this deters register allocation using target registers for storing

ordinary integers.

.IP "\fB\-minvalid\-symbols\fR" 4

Assume symbols might be invalid. Ordinary function symbols generated by

movi/shori/ptrel, but with assembler and/or linker tricks it is possible
|
|
to generate symbols that will cause ptabs / ptrel to trap.
|
|
This option is only meaningful when \fB\-mno\-pt\-fixed\fR is in effect.
|

It will then prevent cross-basic-block cse, hoisting and most scheduling
|
|
of symbol loads. The default is \fB\-mno\-invalid\-symbols\fR.

As of this writing, there are no \s-1SPARC\s0 implementations that have hardware

support for the quad-word floating point instructions. They all invoke

a trap handler for one of these instructions, and then the trap handler

emulates the effect of the instruction. Because of the trap handler overhead,

this is much slower than calling the \s-1ABI\s0 library routines. Thus the

With \fB\-mfaster\-structs\fR, the compiler assumes that structures

assignment, in place of twice as many \f(CW\*(C`ld\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`st\*(C'\fR pairs.

that it can utilize the decrement and branch instruction, but will give

up if there is more than one memory reference in the loop. Thus a loop

|
.PD
|
|
When this option is enabled, \s-1GCC\s0 instructs the assembler to
|
|
automatically align instructions to reduce branch penalties at the
|
|
expense of some code density. The assembler attempts to widen density
|
|
instructions to align branch targets and the instructions following call
|
|
instructions. If there are not enough preceding safe density
|
|
instructions to align a target, no widening will be performed. The
|
|
default is \fB\-mtarget\-align\fR. These options do not affect the
|
|
treatment of auto-aligned instructions like \f(CW\*(C`LOOP\*(C'\fR, which the
|
|
assembler will always align, either by widening density instructions or
|
|
by inserting no-op instructions.

.PD
|
|
When this option is enabled, \s-1GCC\s0 instructs the assembler to translate
|
|
direct calls to indirect calls unless it can determine that the target
|
|
of a direct call is in the range allowed by the call instruction. This
|
|
translation typically occurs for calls to functions in other source
|
|
files. Specifically, the assembler translates a direct \f(CW\*(C`CALL\*(C'\fR
|
|
instruction into an \f(CW\*(C`L32R\*(C'\fR followed by a \f(CW\*(C`CALLX\*(C'\fR instruction.
|
|
The default is \fB\-mno\-longcalls\fR. This option should be used in
|
|
programs where the call target can potentially be out of range. This
|
|
option is implemented in the assembler, not the compiler, so the
|
|
assembly code generated by \s-1GCC\s0 will still show direct call
|
|
instructions\-\-\-look at the disassembled object code to see the actual
|
|
instructions. Note that the assembler will use an indirect call for
|
|
every cross-file call, not just those that really will be out of range.

Enable exception handling. Generates extra code needed to propagate

size overhead, although it does not affect execution. If you do not

\&\*(C+ which normally require exception handling, and disable it for

languages like C that do not normally require it. However, you may need
|
|
to enable this option when compiling C code that needs to interoperate

properly with exception handlers written in \*(C+. You may also wish to

Generate position-independent code (\s-1PIC\s0) suitable for use in a shared

Set the default \s-1ELF\s0 image symbol visibility to the specified option\-\-\-all
|
|
symbols will be marked with this unless overridden within the code.
|
|
Using this feature can very substantially improve linking and
|
|
load times of shared object libraries, produce more optimized
|
|
code, provide near-perfect \s-1API\s0 export and prevent symbol clashes.
|
|
It is \fBstrongly\fR recommended that you use this in any shared objects
|
|
you distribute.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Despite the nomenclature, \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR always means public ie;
|
|
available to be linked against from outside the shared object.
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`protected\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`internal\*(C'\fR are pretty useless in real-world
|
|
usage so the only other commonly used option will be \f(CW\*(C`hidden\*(C'\fR.
|
|
The default if \fB\-fvisibility\fR isn't specified is
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR, i.e., make every
|
|
symbol public\-\-\-this causes the same behavior as previous versions of
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
A good explanation of the benefits offered by ensuring \s-1ELF\s0
|
|
symbols have the correct visibility is given by \*(L"How To Write
|
|
Shared Libraries\*(R" by Ulrich Drepper (which can be found at
|
|
<\fBhttp://people.redhat.com/~drepper/\fR>)\-\-\-however a superior
|
|
solution made possible by this option to marking things hidden when
|
|
the default is public is to make the default hidden and mark things
|
|
public. This is the norm with \s-1DLL\s0's on Windows and with \fB\-fvisibility=hidden\fR
|
|
and \f(CW\*(C`_\|_attribute_\|_ ((visibility("default")))\*(C'\fR instead of
|
|
\&\f(CW\*(C`_\|_declspec(dllexport)\*(C'\fR you get almost identical semantics with
|
|
identical syntax. This is a great boon to those working with
|
|
cross-platform projects.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
For those adding visibility support to existing code, you may find
|
|
\&\fB#pragma \s-1GCC\s0 visibility\fR of use. This works by you enclosing
|
|
the declarations you wish to set visibility for with (for example)
|
|
\&\fB#pragma \s-1GCC\s0 visibility push(hidden)\fR and
|
|
\&\fB#pragma \s-1GCC\s0 visibility pop\fR.
|
|
Bear in mind that symbol visibility should be viewed \fBas
|
|
part of the \s-1API\s0 interface contract\fR and thus all new code should
|
|
always specify visibility when it is not the default ie; declarations
|
|
only for use within the local \s-1DSO\s0 should \fBalways\fR be marked explicitly
|
|
as hidden as so to avoid \s-1PLT\s0 indirection overheads\-\-\-making this
|
|
abundantly clear also aids readability and self-documentation of the code.
|
|
Note that due to \s-1ISO\s0 \*(C+ specification requirements, operator new and
|
|
operator delete must always be of default visibility.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Be aware that headers from outside your project, in particular system
|
|
headers and headers from any other library you use, may not be
|
|
expecting to be compiled with visibility other than the default. You
|
|
may need to explicitly say \fB#pragma \s-1GCC\s0 visibility push(default)\fR
|
|
before including any such headers.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\fBextern\fR declarations are not affected by \fB\-fvisibility\fR, so
|
|
a lot of code can be recompiled with \fB\-fvisibility=hidden\fR with
|
|
no modifications. However, this means that calls to \fBextern\fR
|
|
functions with no explicit visibility will use the \s-1PLT\s0, so it is more
|
|
effective to use \fB_\|_attribute ((visibility))\fR and/or
|
|
\&\fB#pragma \s-1GCC\s0 visibility\fR to tell the compiler which \fBextern\fR
|
|
declarations should be treated as hidden.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Note that \fB\-fvisibility\fR does affect \*(C+ vague linkage
|
|
entities. This means that, for instance, an exception class that will
|
|
be thrown between DSOs must be explicitly marked with default
|
|
visibility so that the \fBtype_info\fR nodes will be unified between
|
|
the DSOs.
|
|
.Sp

.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
|
|
.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
|
|
This section describes several environment variables that affect how \s-1GCC\s0
|
|
operates. Some of them work by specifying directories or prefixes to use
|
|
when searching for various kinds of files. Some are used to specify other
|
|
aspects of the compilation environment.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that you can also specify places to search using options such as
|
|
\&\fB\-B\fR, \fB\-I\fR and \fB\-L\fR. These
|
|
take precedence over places specified using environment variables, which
|
|
in turn take precedence over those specified by the configuration of \s-1GCC\s0.

|
|
These environment variables control the way that \s-1GCC\s0 uses
|
|
localization information that allow \s-1GCC\s0 to work with different
|
|
national conventions. \s-1GCC\s0 inspects the locale categories
|
|
\&\fB\s-1LC_CTYPE\s0\fR and \fB\s-1LC_MESSAGES\s0\fR if it has been configured to do
|
|
so. These locale categories can be set to any value supported by your
|
|
installation. A typical value is \fBen_GB.UTF\-8\fR for English in the United
|
|
Kingdom encoded in \s-1UTF\-8\s0.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \fB\s-1LC_CTYPE\s0\fR environment variable specifies character
|
|
classification. \s-1GCC\s0 uses it to determine the character boundaries in
|
|
a string; this is needed for some multibyte encodings that contain quote
|
|
and escape characters that would otherwise be interpreted as a string
|
|
end or escape.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The \fB\s-1LC_MESSAGES\s0\fR environment variable specifies the language to
|
|
use in diagnostic messages.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If the \fB\s-1LC_ALL\s0\fR environment variable is set, it overrides the value
|
|
of \fB\s-1LC_CTYPE\s0\fR and \fB\s-1LC_MESSAGES\s0\fR; otherwise, \fB\s-1LC_CTYPE\s0\fR
|
|
and \fB\s-1LC_MESSAGES\s0\fR default to the value of the \fB\s-1LANG\s0\fR
|
|
environment variable. If none of these variables are set, \s-1GCC\s0
|
|
defaults to traditional C English behavior.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1TMPDIR\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "TMPDIR"
|
|
If \fB\s-1TMPDIR\s0\fR is set, it specifies the directory to use for temporary
|
|
files. \s-1GCC\s0 uses temporary files to hold the output of one stage of
|
|
compilation which is to be used as input to the next stage: for example,
|
|
the output of the preprocessor, which is the input to the compiler
|
|
proper.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "GCC_EXEC_PREFIX"
|
|
If \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR is set, it specifies a prefix to use in the
|
|
names of the subprograms executed by the compiler. No slash is added
|
|
when this prefix is combined with the name of a subprogram, but you can
|
|
specify a prefix that ends with a slash if you wish.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR is not set, \s-1GCC\s0 will attempt to figure out
|
|
an appropriate prefix to use based on the pathname it was invoked with.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
If \s-1GCC\s0 cannot find the subprogram using the specified prefix, it
|
|
tries looking in the usual places for the subprogram.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The default value of \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR is
|
|
\&\fI\fIprefix\fI/lib/gcc/\fR where \fIprefix\fR is the value
|
|
of \f(CW\*(C`prefix\*(C'\fR when you ran the \fIconfigure\fR script.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
Other prefixes specified with \fB\-B\fR take precedence over this prefix.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
This prefix is also used for finding files such as \fIcrt0.o\fR that are
|
|
used for linking.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In addition, the prefix is used in an unusual way in finding the
|
|
directories to search for header files. For each of the standard
|
|
directories whose name normally begins with \fB/usr/local/lib/gcc\fR
|
|
(more precisely, with the value of \fB\s-1GCC_INCLUDE_DIR\s0\fR), \s-1GCC\s0 tries
|
|
replacing that beginning with the specified prefix to produce an
|
|
alternate directory name. Thus, with \fB\-Bfoo/\fR, \s-1GCC\s0 will search
|
|
\&\fIfoo/bar\fR where it would normally search \fI/usr/local/lib/bar\fR.
|
|
These alternate directories are searched first; the standard directories
|
|
come next.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1COMPILER_PATH\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "COMPILER_PATH"
|
|
The value of \fB\s-1COMPILER_PATH\s0\fR is a colon-separated list of
|
|
directories, much like \fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR. \s-1GCC\s0 tries the directories thus
|
|
specified when searching for subprograms, if it can't find the
|
|
subprograms using \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1LIBRARY_PATH\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "LIBRARY_PATH"
|
|
The value of \fB\s-1LIBRARY_PATH\s0\fR is a colon-separated list of
|
|
directories, much like \fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR. When configured as a native compiler,
|
|
\&\s-1GCC\s0 tries the directories thus specified when searching for special
|
|
linker files, if it can't find them using \fB\s-1GCC_EXEC_PREFIX\s0\fR. Linking
|
|
using \s-1GCC\s0 also uses these directories when searching for ordinary
|
|
libraries for the \fB\-l\fR option (but directories specified with
|
|
\&\fB\-L\fR come first).
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1LANG\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "LANG"
|
|
This variable is used to pass locale information to the compiler. One way in
|
|
which this information is used is to determine the character set to be used
|
|
when character literals, string literals and comments are parsed in C and \*(C+.
|
|
When the compiler is configured to allow multibyte characters,
|
|
the following values for \fB\s-1LANG\s0\fR are recognized:
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.IP "\fBC\-JIS\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "C-JIS"
|
|
Recognize \s-1JIS\s0 characters.

If \fB\s-1LANG\s0\fR is not defined, or if it has some other value, then the

.PD
|
|
Each variable's value is a list of directories separated by a special
|
|
character, much like \fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR, in which to look for header files.
|
|
The special character, \f(CW\*(C`PATH_SEPARATOR\*(C'\fR, is target-dependent and
|
|
determined at \s-1GCC\s0 build time. For Microsoft Windows-based targets it is a
|
|
semicolon, and for almost all other targets it is a colon.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
\&\fB\s-1CPATH\s0\fR specifies a list of directories to be searched as if
|
|
specified with \fB\-I\fR, but after any paths given with \fB\-I\fR
|
|
options on the command line. This environment variable is used
|
|
regardless of which language is being preprocessed.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The remaining environment variables apply only when preprocessing the
|
|
particular language indicated. Each specifies a list of directories
|
|
to be searched as if specified with \fB\-isystem\fR, but after any
|
|
paths given with \fB\-isystem\fR options on the command line.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In all these variables, an empty element instructs the compiler to
|
|
search its current working directory. Empty elements can appear at the
|
|
beginning or end of a path. For instance, if the value of
|
|
\&\fB\s-1CPATH\s0\fR is \f(CW\*(C`:/special/include\*(C'\fR, that has the same
|
|
effect as \fB\-I.\ \-I/special/include\fR.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT"
|
|
If this variable is set, its value specifies how to output
|
|
dependencies for Make based on the non-system header files processed
|
|
by the compiler. System header files are ignored in the dependency
|
|
output.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
The value of \fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR can be just a file name, in
|
|
which case the Make rules are written to that file, guessing the target
|
|
name from the source file name. Or the value can have the form
|
|
\&\fIfile\fR\fB \fR\fItarget\fR, in which case the rules are written to
|
|
file \fIfile\fR using \fItarget\fR as the target name.
|
|
.Sp
|
|
In other words, this environment variable is equivalent to combining
|
|
the options \fB\-MM\fR and \fB\-MF\fR,
|
|
with an optional \fB\-MT\fR switch too.
|
|
.IP "\fB\s-1SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES\s0\fR" 4
|
|
.IX Item "SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES"
|
|
This variable is the same as \fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR (see above),
|
|
except that system header files are not ignored, so it implies
|
|
\&\fB\-M\fR rather than \fB\-MM\fR. However, the dependence on the
|
|
main input file is omitted.
