# ag++(1)

a frontend to ac++ and g++

## NAME

ag++ — a frontend to ac++ and g++

## SYNOPSIS

**ag++**  -o *output* *input.cpp*

**ag++**  -c -o *output.o* -o *input.cpp*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **ag++** command.

**ag++** is a frontend to ac++ and g++ provided by  AspectC++.  For a better (and more  complete) reference, see the AspectC++ documentation.

**ag++**        is called much like g++ itself. Check the two syntax forms above  and follow these explanations:

The first syntax form takes *input.cpp* and generates  an executable named *output*, after weaving into  input.cpp all the aspects that crosscut it.  *input.cpp* has restrictions as it would have if we  were compiling a regular C++ program: it must have an  *main()* function, and everything you already know.

The second syntax form takes *input.cpp* and generates  an object file named *output.o*, after weaving into  *input.cpp* all the aspects that crosscut it.

*Note:* in both cases, *input.cpp*       isn't actually changed. **g++** weaves to temporary files.

Common **g++** arguments, like  *-I INDCIR*,  *-L LIBCIR*,  *-l libfoo*, and so on,  are recognized by **ag++** and rightly passed to  **g++**.

## OPTIONS

Further options can be seen in AspectC++ documentation.
