<h2 class="chapter">3 GCC Command Options</h2>

<a name="index-GCC-command-options"></a>

<a name="index-command-options"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-options_002c-GCC-command"></a>
|
||
|
|
||
|
<p>When you invoke GCC, it normally does preprocessing, compilation,
|
||
|
assembly and linking. The “overall options” allow you to stop this
|
||
|
process at an intermediate stage. For example, the <samp>-c</samp> option
|
||
|
says not to run the linker. Then the output consists of object files
|
||
|
output by the assembler.
|
||
|
See <a href="Overall-Options.html#Overall-Options">Options Controlling the Kind of Output</a>.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>Other options are passed on to one or more stages 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.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<a name="index-C-compilation-options"></a>
|
||
|
<p>Most of the command-line options that you can use with GCC 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.
|
||
|

<a name="index-specifying-compiler-version-and-target-machine"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-compiler-version_002c-specifying"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-target-machine_002c-specifying"></a>
|
||
|
<p>The usual way to run GCC is to run the executable called <code>gcc</code>, or
|
||
|
<code><var>machine</var>-gcc</code> when cross-compiling, or
|
||
|
<code><var>machine</var>-gcc-<var>version</var></code> to run a specific version of GCC.
|
||
|
When you compile C++ programs, you should invoke GCC as <code>g++</code>
|
||
|
instead. See <a href="Invoking-G_002b_002b.html#Invoking-G_002b_002b">Compiling C++ Programs</a>,
|
||
|
for information about the differences in behavior between <code>gcc</code>
|
||
|
and <code>g++</code> when compiling C++ programs.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<a name="index-grouping-options"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-options_002c-grouping"></a>
|
||
|
<p>The <code>gcc</code> program accepts options and file names as operands. Many
|
||
|
options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter options
|
||
|
may <em>not</em> be grouped: <samp>-dv</samp> is very different from ‘<samp><span class="nolinebreak">-d</span> <span class="nolinebreak">-v</span></samp>’<!-- /@w -->.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<a name="index-order-of-options"></a>
|
||
|
<a name="index-options_002c-order"></a>
|
||
|
<p>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 <samp>-L</samp> more
|
||
|
than once, the directories are searched in the order specified. Also,
|
||
|
the placement of the <samp>-l</samp> option is significant.
|
||
|
</p>
|
||
|
<p>Many options have long names starting with ‘<samp>-f</samp>’ or with
|
||
|
‘<samp>-W</samp>’—for example,
|
||
|
<samp>-fmove-loop-invariants</samp>, <samp>-Wformat</samp> and so on. Most of
|
||
|
these have both positive and negative forms; the negative form of
|
||
|
<samp>-ffoo</samp> is <samp>-fno-foo</samp>. This manual documents
|
||
|
only one of these two forms, whichever one is not the default.
|
||
|

<p>See <a href="Option-Index.html#Option-Index">Option Index</a>, for an index to GCC’s options.
