gcc
Preprocess and compile C and C++ source files, then assemble and link them together. Part of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). More information: https://gcc.gnu.org.
- Compile multiple source files into an executable:
gcc
path/to/source1.c path/to/source2.c …
-o|–output
path/to/output_executable
- Activate output of all errors and warnings:
gcc
path/to/source.c -Wall
-o|–output
output_executable
- Show common warnings, debug symbols in output, and optimize without affecting debugging:
gcc
path/to/source.c -Wall
-g|–debug -Og
-o|–output
path/to/output_executable
- Include libraries from a different path:
gcc
path/to/source.c
-o|–output
path/to/output_executable -I
path/to/header -L
path/to/library -l
library_name
- Compile source code into Assembler instructions:
gcc
-S|–assemble
path/to/source.c
- Compile source code into an object file without linking:
gcc
-c|–compile
path/to/source.c
- Optimize the compiled program for performance:
gcc
path/to/source.c -O
1|2|3|fast
-o|–output
path/to/output_executable
- Display version:
gcc --version
