Truly appreciate the help. Is there is a list of such (or other) GCC (and LD) options that one can refer to? Or is the manual the only authority on this matter? Regards |

2009/2/6 Khalid A. Bakr <kh...@ya...>: > Is there is a list of such (or other) GCC (and LD) options that one can refer to? Or is the manual the only authority on this matter? Sure. Gcc (the compiler and linker driver - gcc.exe), if invoked with --help -v will execute all of its driven programs (as, ld, and cc1 - the actual C compiler) with the --help option. A suggested way of invoking is: $ gcc --help -v > gccoptions.txt 2>&1 This will create a file gccoptions.txt with all of the features implemented by the gcc version that was invoked. I use that as a first reference when I'm seeking to alter default gcc behavior. Of course the descriptions aren't any verbose, so you'll often end up looking on the Internet, but this will often give you something to start with. -- CS |
