<h3 class="section">3.4 Options Controlling C Dialect</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-dialect-options-102"></a><a name="index-language-dialect-options-103"></a><a name="index-options_002c-dialect-104"></a>
|
|
The following options control the dialect of C (or languages derived
|
|
from C, such as C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++) that the compiler
|
|
accepts:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="index-ANSI-support-105"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-ISO-support-106"></a>
|
|
<dl><dt><code>-ansi</code><dd><a name="index-ansi-107"></a>In C mode, this is equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-std=c90</span></samp>. In C++ mode, it is
|
|
equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-std=c++98</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p>This turns off certain features of GCC that are incompatible with ISO
|
|
C90 (when compiling C code), or of standard C++ (when compiling C++ code),
|
|
such as the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code> keywords, and
|
|
predefined macros such as <code>unix</code> and <code>vax</code> that identify the
|
|
type of system you are using. It also enables the undesirable and
|
|
rarely used ISO trigraph feature. For the C compiler,
|
|
it disables recognition of C++ style ‘<samp><span class="samp">//</span></samp>’ comments as well as
|
|
the <code>inline</code> keyword.
|
|
|
|
<p>The alternate keywords <code>__asm__</code>, <code>__extension__</code>,
|
|
<code>__inline__</code> and <code>__typeof__</code> continue to work despite
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp>. You would not want to use them in an ISO C program, of
|
|
course, but it is useful to put them in header files that might be included
|
|
in compilations done with <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp>. Alternate predefined macros
|
|
such as <code>__unix__</code> and <code>__vax__</code> are also available, with or
|
|
without <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp> option does not cause non-ISO programs to be
|
|
rejected gratuitously. For that, <samp><span class="option">-Wpedantic</span></samp> is required in
|
|
addition to <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp>. See <a href="Warning-Options.html#Warning-Options">Warning Options</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>The macro <code>__STRICT_ANSI__</code> is predefined when the <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp>
|
|
option is used. Some header files may notice this macro and refrain
|
|
from declaring certain functions or defining certain macros that the
|
|
ISO standard doesn't call for; this is to avoid interfering with any
|
|
programs that might use these names for other things.
|
|
|
|
<p>Functions that are normally built in but do not have semantics
|
|
defined by ISO C (such as <code>alloca</code> and <code>ffs</code>) are not built-in
|
|
functions when <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp> is used. See <a href="Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins">Other built-in functions provided by GCC</a>, for details of the functions
|
|
affected.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>-std=</code><dd><a name="index-std-108"></a>Determine the language standard. See <a href="Standards.html#Standards">Language Standards Supported by GCC</a>, for details of these standard versions. This option
|
|
is currently only supported when compiling C or C++.
|
|
|
|
<p>The compiler can accept several base standards, such as ‘<samp><span class="samp">c90</span></samp>’ or
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">c++98</span></samp>’, and GNU dialects of those standards, such as
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">gnu90</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">gnu++98</span></samp>’. When a base standard is specified, the
|
|
compiler accepts all programs following that standard plus those
|
|
using GNU extensions that do not contradict it. For example,
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-std=c90</span></samp> turns off certain features of GCC that are
|
|
incompatible with ISO C90, such as the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code>
|
|
keywords, but not other GNU extensions that do not have a meaning in
|
|
ISO C90, such as omitting the middle term of a <code>?:</code>
|
|
expression. On the other hand, when a GNU dialect of a standard is
|
|
specified, all features supported by the compiler are enabled, even when
|
|
those features change the meaning of the base standard. As a result, some
|
|
strict-conforming programs may be rejected. The particular standard
|
|
is used by <samp><span class="option">-Wpedantic</span></samp> to identify which features are GNU
|
|
extensions given that version of the standard. For example
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-std=gnu90 -Wpedantic</span></samp> warns about C++ style ‘<samp><span class="samp">//</span></samp>’
|
|
comments, while <samp><span class="option">-std=gnu99 -Wpedantic</span></samp> does not.

<br><dt><code>-fgnu89-inline</code><dd><a name="index-fgnu89_002dinline-109"></a>The option <samp><span class="option">-fgnu89-inline</span></samp> tells GCC to use the traditional
|
|
GNU semantics for <code>inline</code> functions when in C99 mode.
|
|
See <a href="Inline.html#Inline">An Inline Function is As Fast As a Macro</a>.
|
|
Using this option is roughly equivalent to adding the
|
|
<code>gnu_inline</code> function attribute to all inline functions
|
|
(see <a href="Function-Attributes.html#Function-Attributes">Function Attributes</a>).
|
|
|
|
<p>The option <samp><span class="option">-fno-gnu89-inline</span></samp> explicitly tells GCC to use the
|
|
C99 semantics for <code>inline</code> when in C99 or gnu99 mode (i.e., it
|
|
specifies the default behavior).
|
|
This option is not supported in <samp><span class="option">-std=c90</span></samp> or
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-std=gnu90</span></samp> mode.
|
|
|
|
<p>The preprocessor macros <code>__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__</code> and
|
|
<code>__GNUC_STDC_INLINE__</code> may be used to check which semantics are
|
|
in effect for <code>inline</code> functions. See <a href="../cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html#Common-Predefined-Macros">Common Predefined Macros</a>.

|
declared and/or defined in a translation unit, including those in header
|
|
files. This option is silently ignored in any language other than C.
|
|
|
|
<p>Besides declarations, the file indicates, in comments, the origin of
|
|
each declaration (source file and line), whether the declaration was
|
|
implicit, prototyped or unprototyped (‘<samp><span class="samp">I</span></samp>’, ‘<samp><span class="samp">N</span></samp>’ for new or
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">O</span></samp>’ for old, respectively, in the first character after the line
|
|
number and the colon), and whether it came from a declaration or a
|
|
definition (‘<samp><span class="samp">C</span></samp>’ or ‘<samp><span class="samp">F</span></samp>’, respectively, in the following
|
|
character). In the case of function definitions, a K&R-style list of
|
|
arguments followed by their declarations is also provided, inside
|
|
comments, after the declaration.

<br><dt><code>-fallow-parameterless-variadic-functions</code><dd><a name="index-fallow_002dparameterless_002dvariadic_002dfunctions-111"></a>Accept variadic functions without named parameters.
|
|
|
|
<p>Although it is possible to define such a function, this is not very
|
|
useful as it is not possible to read the arguments. This is only
|
|
supported for C as this construct is allowed by C++.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>-fno-asm</code><dd><a name="index-fno_002dasm-112"></a>Do not recognize <code>asm</code>, <code>inline</code> or <code>typeof</code> as a
|
|
keyword, so that code can use these words as identifiers. You can use
|
|
the keywords <code>__asm__</code>, <code>__inline__</code> and <code>__typeof__</code>
|
|
instead. <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp> implies <samp><span class="option">-fno-asm</span></samp>.
|
|
|
|
<p>In C++, this switch only affects the <code>typeof</code> keyword, since
|
|
<code>asm</code> and <code>inline</code> are standard keywords. You may want to
|
|
use the <samp><span class="option">-fno-gnu-keywords</span></samp> flag instead, which has the same
|
|
effect. In C99 mode (<samp><span class="option">-std=c99</span></samp> or <samp><span class="option">-std=gnu99</span></samp>), this
|
|
switch only affects the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code> keywords, since
|
|
<code>inline</code> is a standard keyword in ISO C99.

|
<br><dt><code>-fno-builtin</code><dt><code>-fno-builtin-</code><var>function</var><dd><a name="index-fno_002dbuiltin-113"></a><a name="index-built_002din-functions-114"></a>Don't recognize built-in functions that do not begin with
|
|
‘<samp><span class="samp">__builtin_</span></samp>’ as prefix. See <a href="Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins">Other built-in functions provided by GCC</a>, for details of the functions affected,
|
|
including those which are not built-in functions when <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp> or
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-std</span></samp> options for strict ISO C conformance are used because they
|
|
do not have an ISO standard meaning.
|
|
|
|
<p>GCC normally generates special code to handle certain built-in functions
|
|
more efficiently; for instance, calls to <code>alloca</code> may become single
|
|
instructions which adjust the stack directly, and calls to <code>memcpy</code>
|
|
may become inline copy loops. The resulting code is often both smaller
|
|
and faster, but since the function calls no longer appear as such, you
|
|
cannot set a breakpoint on those calls, nor can you change the behavior
|
|
of the functions by linking with a different library. In addition,
|
|
when a function is recognized as a built-in function, GCC may use
|
|
information about that function to warn about problems with calls to
|
|
that function, or to generate more efficient code, even if the
|
|
resulting code still contains calls to that function. For example,
|
|
warnings are given with <samp><span class="option">-Wformat</span></samp> for bad calls to
|
|
<code>printf</code> when <code>printf</code> is built in and <code>strlen</code> is
|
|
known not to modify global memory.
|
|
|
|
<p>With the <samp><span class="option">-fno-builtin-</span><var>function</var></samp> option
|
|
only the built-in function <var>function</var> is
|
|
disabled. <var>function</var> must not begin with ‘<samp><span class="samp">__builtin_</span></samp>’. If a
|
|
function is named that is not built-in in this version of GCC, this
|
|
option is ignored. There is no corresponding
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-fbuiltin-</span><var>function</var></samp> option; if you wish to enable
|
|
built-in functions selectively when using <samp><span class="option">-fno-builtin</span></samp> or
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-ffreestanding</span></samp>, you may define macros such as:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> #define abs(n) __builtin_abs ((n))
|
|
#define strcpy(d, s) __builtin_strcpy ((d), (s))

<br><dt><code>-fhosted</code><dd><a name="index-fhosted-115"></a><a name="index-hosted-environment-116"></a>
|
|
Assert that compilation targets a hosted environment. This implies
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-fbuiltin</span></samp>. A hosted environment is one in which the
|
|
entire standard library is available, and in which <code>main</code> has a return
|
|
type of <code>int</code>. Examples are nearly everything except a kernel.
|
|
This is equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-fno-freestanding</span></samp>.
|

<br><dt><code>-ffreestanding</code><dd><a name="index-ffreestanding-117"></a><a name="index-hosted-environment-118"></a>

Assert that compilation targets a freestanding environment. This

implies <samp><span class="option">-fno-builtin</span></samp>. A freestanding environment
|
|
is one in which the standard library may not exist, and program startup may

|
not necessarily be at <code>main</code>. The most obvious example is an OS kernel.
|
|
This is equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-fno-hosted</span></samp>.

<br><dt><code>-fcilkplus</code><dd><a name="index-fcilkplus-126"></a><a name="index-Enable-Cilk-Plus-127"></a>Enable the usage of Cilk Plus language extension features for C/C++.
|
|
When the option <samp><span class="option">-fcilkplus</span></samp> is specified, enable the usage of
|
|
the Cilk Plus Language extension features for C/C++. The present
|
|
implementation follows ABI version 1.2. This is an experimental
|
|
feature that is only partially complete, and whose interface may
|
|
change in future versions of GCC as the official specification
|
|
changes. Currently, all features but <code>_Cilk_for</code> have been
|
|
implemented.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>-fgnu-tm</code><dd><a name="index-fgnu_002dtm-128"></a>When the option <samp><span class="option">-fgnu-tm</span></samp> is specified, the compiler
|
|
generates code for the Linux variant of Intel's current Transactional
|
|
Memory ABI specification document (Revision 1.1, May 6 2009). This is
|
|
an experimental feature whose interface may change in future versions
|
|
of GCC, as the official specification changes. Please note that not
|
|
all architectures are supported for this feature.
|
|
|
|
<p>For more information on GCC's support for transactional memory,
|
|
See <a href="../libitm/Enabling-libitm.html#Enabling-libitm">The GNU Transactional Memory Library</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the transactional memory feature is not supported with
|
|
non-call exceptions (<samp><span class="option">-fnon-call-exceptions</span></samp>).

|
<br><dt><code>-fms-extensions</code><dd><a name="index-fms_002dextensions-129"></a>Accept some non-standard constructs used in Microsoft header files.
|
|
|
|
<p>In C++ code, this allows member names in structures to be similar
|
|
to previous types declarations.
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> typedef int UOW;
|
|
struct ABC {
|
|
UOW UOW;
|
|
};
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Some cases of unnamed fields in structures and unions are only
|
|
accepted with this option. See <a href="Unnamed-Fields.html#Unnamed-Fields">Unnamed struct/union fields within structs/unions</a>, for details.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that this option is off for all targets but x86
|
|
targets using ms-abi.

<br><dt><code>-fplan9-extensions</code><dd><a name="index-fplan9_002dextensions-130"></a>Accept some non-standard constructs used in Plan 9 code.
|
|
|
|
<p>This enables <samp><span class="option">-fms-extensions</span></samp>, permits passing pointers to
|
|
structures with anonymous fields to functions that expect pointers to
|
|
elements of the type of the field, and permits referring to anonymous
|
|
fields declared using a typedef. See <a href="Unnamed-Fields.html#Unnamed-Fields">Unnamed struct/union fields within structs/unions</a>, for details. This is only
|
|
supported for C, not C++.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>-trigraphs</code><dd><a name="index-trigraphs-131"></a>Support ISO C trigraphs. The <samp><span class="option">-ansi</span></samp> option (and <samp><span class="option">-std</span></samp>

options for strict ISO C conformance) implies <samp><span class="option">-trigraphs</span></samp>.

|
|
C compiler. They are now only supported with the <samp><span class="option">-E</span></samp> switch.
|
|
The preprocessor continues to support a pre-standard mode. See the GNU
|
|
CPP manual for details.

<br><dt><code>-fcond-mismatch</code><dd><a name="index-fcond_002dmismatch-136"></a>Allow conditional expressions with mismatched types in the second and

is not supported for C++.
|

<br><dt><code>-flax-vector-conversions</code><dd><a name="index-flax_002dvector_002dconversions-137"></a>Allow implicit conversions between vectors with differing numbers of

used for new code.
|
|
|

<br><dt><code>-funsigned-char</code><dd><a name="index-funsigned_002dchar-138"></a>Let the type <code>char</code> be unsigned, like <code>unsigned char</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Each kind of machine has a default for what <code>char</code> should
|
|
be. It is either like <code>unsigned char</code> by default or like
|
|
<code>signed char</code> by default.
|
|
|
|
<p>Ideally, a portable program should always use <code>signed char</code> or
|
|
<code>unsigned char</code> when it depends on the signedness of an object.
|
|
But many programs have been written to use plain <code>char</code> and
|
|
expect it to be signed, or expect it to be unsigned, depending on the
|
|
machines they were written for. This option, and its inverse, let you
|
|
make such a program work with the opposite default.
|
|
|
|
<p>The type <code>char</code> is always a distinct type from each of
|
|
<code>signed char</code> or <code>unsigned char</code>, even though its behavior
|
|
is always just like one of those two.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>-fsigned-char</code><dd><a name="index-fsigned_002dchar-139"></a>Let the type <code>char</code> be signed, like <code>signed char</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that this is equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-fno-unsigned-char</span></samp>, which is
|
|
the negative form of <samp><span class="option">-funsigned-char</span></samp>. Likewise, the option
|
|
<samp><span class="option">-fno-signed-char</span></samp> is equivalent to <samp><span class="option">-funsigned-char</span></samp>.

|
|
declaration does not use either <code>signed</code> or <code>unsigned</code>. By
|
|
default, such a bit-field is signed, because this is consistent: the
|
|
basic integer types such as <code>int</code> are signed types.
