gcc

Compile and link a program (GNU)

---

We recommend you use qcc instead of invoking gcc directly. You can use the -V option to qcc to invoke gcc. For example: qcc -Vgcc_ntomipsle my_file.c

---

Syntax:

gcc_variant [ option | filename ]...
g++_variant [ option | filename ]...

Options:

The gcc_variant depends on the target platform, as follows:

Target platform:	gcc_variant:
ARM	ntoarm-gcc
MIPS	ntomips-gcc
PowerPC	ntoppc-gcc

x86	ntox86-gcc

The g++_variant depends on the target platform, as follows:

Target platform:	g++_variant:
ARM	ntoarm-g++
MIPS	ntomips-g++
PowerPC	ntoppc-g++
SH4	ntosh-g++
x86	ntox86-g++

---

If you use exceptions, you must link with the -lang-c++ option to qcc. This option is the default for QCC.

---

Description:

We recommend you use qcc or QCC instead of gcc to compile and link your programs.

For detailed documentation about gcc, see the GNU website at http://www.gnu.org/.

---

If you have trouble using the default debug format (-gdwarf), switch to -gdwarf-2 or -gstabs.

---

Exit status:

0

Success.

33
