files.a

Library files to link in

OPTIONS

Option Summary

Only the new options are listed here; gdc accepts mostly the same options as gcc. Most of these have both positive and negative forms; the negative form of -ffoo would be -fno-foo. This manual documents only one of these two forms, whichever one is not the default.

D Language Options
-frelease

Compile release version.

-funittest

Compile in unittest code.

-fno-assert

Generate runtime code for assert()'s.

-fno-bounds-check

Turns off array bounds checking for all functions.

-fdebug-c

With -g, generate C debug information.

-fdeprecated

Allow use of deprecated features.

-fd-verbose

Print information about D language processing to stdout.

-fd-version=1

Compile as D language version 1.

-fd-vtls

-fignore-unknown-pragmas

-femit-templates[=all|normal|private|none|auto]

Control template emission. These are the supported options:

all

Emit templates, expecting multiple copies to be merged by the linker.

normal

Emits templates, but only if the compiler determines that it needs to.

private

Emit templates, but make them private to the translation unit. The executable will have multiple copies of code and data.

none

Do not emit templates at all.

auto

For targets that support templates, the "all" mode is used. Otherwise, the "private" mode is used.

-fdebug[=level|ident]

Compile in debug code into the program. These are supported options:

level

Compile in debug code <= level.

ident

Compile in debug code identified by ident.

-fdeps=<filename>

Write module dependencies to filename.

-fonly=<filename>

Process all modules specified on the command line, but only generate code for the module specified by the argument.

-fversion=<level|ident>
