RealView Compilation Tools Compiler User Guide: 2.1. Using command-line options

2.1. Using command-line options

You can control many aspects of compiler operation with command-line options.

The following rules apply, depending on the type of option:

Single-letter options

All single-letter options, or single-letter options with arguments, are preceded by a single dash -. You can use a space between the option and the argument, or the argument can immediately follow the option. For example:

-J directory
-Jdirectory

Keyword options

All keyword options, or keyword options with arguments, are preceded by a double dash --. An = or space character is required between the option and the argument. For example:

--depend=file.d
--depend file.d

Compiler options that contain non-leading - or _ can use either of these characters. For example, --force_new_nothrow is the same as --force-new-nothrow.

To compile files with names starting with a dash, use the POSIX option -- to specify that all subsequent arguments are treated as filenames, not as command switches. For example, to compile a file named -ifile_1, use:

armcc -c -- -ifile_1
