You can control the compilation driver.
A list of specs for the driver itself. It should be a suitable initializer for an array of strings, with no surrounding braces.
The driver applies these specs to its own command line between loading default specs files (but not command-line specified ones) and choosing the multilib directory or running any subcommands. It applies them in the order given, so each spec can depend on the options added by earlier ones. It is also possible to remove options using ‘%<option ’ in the usual way.
This macro can be useful when a port has several interdependent target options. It provides a way of standardizing the command line so that the other specs are easier to write.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
A list of specs used to support configure-time default options (i.e. --with options) in the driver. It should be a suitable initializer for an array of structures, each containing two strings, without the outermost pair of surrounding braces.
The first item in the pair is the name of the default. This must match the code in config.gcc for the target. The second item is a spec to apply if a default with this name was specified. The string ‘%(VALUE)’ in the spec will be replaced by the value of the default everywhere it occurs.
The driver will apply these specs to its own command line between loading
default specs files and processing DRIVER_SELF_SPECS, using
the same mechanism as DRIVER_SELF_SPECS.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program options to pass to CPP. It can also specify how to translate options you give to GCC into options for GCC to pass to the CPP.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
This macro is just like CPP_SPEC, but is used for C++, rather
than C. If you do not define this macro, then the value of
CPP_SPEC (if any) will be used instead.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program options to
pass to cc1, cc1plus, f771, and the other language
front ends.
It can also specify how to translate options you give to GCC into options
for GCC to pass to front ends.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program options to
pass to cc1plus. It can also specify how to translate options you
give to GCC into options for GCC to pass to the cc1plus.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
Note that everything defined in CC1_SPEC is already passed to
cc1plus so there is no need to duplicate the contents of
CC1_SPEC in CC1PLUS_SPEC.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program options to pass to the assembler. It can also specify how to translate options you give to GCC into options for GCC to pass to the assembler. See the file sun3.h for an example of this.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program how to run any programs which cleanup after the normal assembler. Normally, this is not needed. See the file mips.h for an example of this.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
Define this macro, with no value, if the driver should give the assembler an argument consisting of a single dash, -, to instruct it to read from its standard input (which will be a pipe connected to the output of the compiler proper). This argument is given after any -o option specifying the name of the output file.
If you do not define this macro, the assembler is assumed to read its standard input if given no non-option arguments. If your assembler cannot read standard input at all, use a ‘%{pipe:%e}’ construct; see mips.h for instance.
A C string constant that tells the GCC driver program options to pass to the linker. It can also specify how to translate options you give to GCC into options for GCC to pass to the linker.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
Another C string constant used much like LINK_SPEC. The difference
between the two is that LIB_SPEC is used at the end of the
command given to the linker.
If this macro is not defined, a default is provided that loads the standard C library from the usual place. See gcc.c.
Another C string constant that tells the GCC driver program
how and when to place a reference to libgcc.a into the
linker command line. This constant is placed both before and after
the value of LIB_SPEC.
If this macro is not defined, the GCC driver provides a default that passes the string -lgcc to the linker.
By default, if ENABLE_SHARED_LIBGCC is defined, the
LIBGCC_SPEC is not directly used by the driver program but is
instead modified to refer to different versions of libgcc.a
depending on the values of the command line flags -static,
-shared, -static-libgcc, and -shared-libgcc. On
targets where these modifications are inappropriate, define
REAL_LIBGCC_SPEC instead. REAL_LIBGCC_SPEC tells the
driver how to place a reference to libgcc on the link command
line, but, unlike LIBGCC_SPEC, it is used unmodified.
A macro that controls the modifications to LIBGCC_SPEC
mentioned in REAL_LIBGCC_SPEC. If nonzero, a spec will be
generated that uses --as-needed or equivalent options and the
shared libgcc in place of the
static exception handler library, when linking without any of
-static, -static-libgcc, or -shared-libgcc.
If defined, this C string constant is added to LINK_SPEC.
When USE_LD_AS_NEEDED is zero or undefined, it also affects
the modifications to LIBGCC_SPEC mentioned in
REAL_LIBGCC_SPEC.
Another C string constant used much like LINK_SPEC. The
difference between the two is that STARTFILE_SPEC is used at
the very beginning of the command given to the linker.
If this macro is not defined, a default is provided that loads the standard C startup file from the usual place. See gcc.c.
Another C string constant used much like LINK_SPEC. The
difference between the two is that ENDFILE_SPEC is used at
the very end of the command given to the linker.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
GCC -v will print the thread model GCC was configured to use.
However, this doesn’t work on platforms that are multilibbed on thread
models, such as AIX 4.3. On such platforms, define
THREAD_MODEL_SPEC such that it evaluates to a string without
blanks that names one of the recognized thread models. %*, the
default value of this macro, will expand to the value of
thread_file set in config.gcc.
Define this macro to add a suffix to the target sysroot when GCC is configured with a sysroot. This will cause GCC to search for usr/lib, et al, within sysroot+suffix.
Define this macro to add a headers_suffix to the target sysroot when GCC is configured with a sysroot. This will cause GCC to pass the updated sysroot+headers_suffix to CPP, causing it to search for usr/include, et al, within sysroot+headers_suffix.
Define this macro to provide additional specifications to put in the
specs file that can be used in various specifications like
CC1_SPEC.
The definition should be an initializer for an array of structures, containing a string constant, that defines the specification name, and a string constant that provides the specification.
Do not define this macro if it does not need to do anything.
EXTRA_SPECS is useful when an architecture contains several
related targets, which have various …_SPECS which are similar
to each other, and the maintainer would like one central place to keep
these definitions.
For example, the PowerPC System V.4 targets use EXTRA_SPECS to
define either _CALL_SYSV when the System V calling sequence is
used or _CALL_AIX when the older AIX-based calling sequence is
used.
The config/rs6000/rs6000.h target file defines:
#define EXTRA_SPECS \
{ "cpp_sysv_default", CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT },
#define CPP_SYS_DEFAULT ""
The config/rs6000/sysv.h target file defines:
#undef CPP_SPEC
#define CPP_SPEC \
"%{posix: -D_POSIX_SOURCE } \
%{mcall-sysv: -D_CALL_SYSV } \
%{!mcall-sysv: %(cpp_sysv_default) } \
%{msoft-float: -D_SOFT_FLOAT} %{mcpu=403: -D_SOFT_FLOAT}"
#undef CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT
#define CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT "-D_CALL_SYSV"
while the config/rs6000/eabiaix.h target file defines
CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT as:
#undef CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT #define CPP_SYSV_DEFAULT "-D_CALL_AIX"
Define this macro if the driver program should find the library libgcc.a. If you do not define this macro, the driver program will pass the argument -lgcc to tell the linker to do the search.
The sequence in which libgcc and libc are specified to the linker.
By default this is %G %L %G.
Define this macro to add additional steps to be executed after linker. The default value of this macro is empty string.
A C string constant giving the complete command line need to execute the
linker. When you do this, you will need to update your port each time a
change is made to the link command line within gcc.c. Therefore,
define this macro only if you need to completely redefine the command
line for invoking the linker and there is no other way to accomplish
the effect you need. Overriding this macro may be avoidable by overriding
LINK_GCC_C_SEQUENCE_SPEC instead.
True if .. components should always be removed from directory names computed relative to GCC’s internal directories, false (default) if such components should be preserved and directory names containing them passed to other tools such as the linker.
Define this macro as a C expression for the initializer of an array of
string to tell the driver program which options are defaults for this
target and thus do not need to be handled specially when using
MULTILIB_OPTIONS.
Do not define this macro if MULTILIB_OPTIONS is not defined in
the target makefile fragment or if none of the options listed in
MULTILIB_OPTIONS are set by default.
See Target Fragment.
Define this macro to tell gcc that it should only translate
a -B prefix into a -L linker option if the prefix
indicates an absolute file name.
If defined, this macro is an additional prefix to try after
STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX. MD_EXEC_PREFIX is not searched
when the compiler is built as a cross
compiler. If you define MD_EXEC_PREFIX, then be sure to add it
to the list of directories used to find the assembler in configure.ac.
Define this macro as a C string constant if you wish to override the
standard choice of libdir as the default prefix to
try when searching for startup files such as crt0.o.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX is not searched when the compiler
is built as a cross compiler.
Define this macro as a C string constant if you wish to override the
standard choice of /lib as a prefix to try after the default prefix
when searching for startup files such as crt0.o.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1 is not searched when the compiler
is built as a cross compiler.
Define this macro as a C string constant if you wish to override the
standard choice of /lib as yet another prefix to try after the
default prefix when searching for startup files such as crt0.o.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_2 is not searched when the compiler
is built as a cross compiler.
If defined, this macro supplies an additional prefix to try after the
standard prefixes. MD_EXEC_PREFIX is not searched when the
compiler is built as a cross compiler.
If defined, this macro supplies yet another prefix to try after the standard prefixes. It is not searched when the compiler is built as a cross compiler.
Define this macro as a C string constant if you wish to set environment
variables for programs called by the driver, such as the assembler and
loader. The driver passes the value of this macro to putenv to
initialize the necessary environment variables.
Define this macro as a C string constant if you wish to override the
standard choice of /usr/local/include as the default prefix to
try when searching for local header files. LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR
comes before NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR (set in
config.gcc, normally /usr/include) in the search order.
Cross compilers do not search either /usr/local/include or its replacement.
The “component” corresponding to NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR.
See INCLUDE_DEFAULTS, below, for the description of components.
If you do not define this macro, no component is used.
Define this macro if you wish to override the entire default search path
for include files. For a native compiler, the default search path
usually consists of GCC_INCLUDE_DIR, LOCAL_INCLUDE_DIR,
GPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR, and
NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR. In addition, GPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR
and GCC_INCLUDE_DIR are defined automatically by Makefile,
and specify private search areas for GCC. The directory
GPLUSPLUS_INCLUDE_DIR is used only for C++ programs.
The definition should be an initializer for an array of structures.
Each array element should have four elements: the directory name (a
string constant), the component name (also a string constant), a flag
for C++-only directories,
and a flag showing that the includes in the directory don’t need to be
wrapped in extern ‘C’ when compiling C++. Mark the end of
the array with a null element.
The component name denotes what GNU package the include file is part of, if any, in all uppercase letters. For example, it might be ‘GCC’ or ‘BINUTILS’. If the package is part of a vendor-supplied operating system, code the component name as ‘0’.
For example, here is the definition used for VAX/VMS:
#define INCLUDE_DEFAULTS \
{ \
{ "GNU_GXX_INCLUDE:", "G++", 1, 1}, \
{ "GNU_CC_INCLUDE:", "GCC", 0, 0}, \
{ "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB.]", 0, 0, 0}, \
{ ".", 0, 0, 0}, \
{ 0, 0, 0, 0} \
}
Here is the order of prefixes tried for exec files:
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX or, if GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
is not set and the compiler has not been installed in the configure-time
prefix, the location in which the compiler has actually been installed.
COMPILER_PATH.
STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX, if the compiler has been installed
in the configured-time prefix.
MD_EXEC_PREFIX, if defined, but only if this is a native
compiler.
Here is the order of prefixes tried for startfiles:
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX or its automatically determined
value based on the installed toolchain location.
LIBRARY_PATH
(or port-specific name; native only, cross compilers do not use this).
STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX, but only if the toolchain is installed
in the configured prefix or this is a native compiler.
MD_EXEC_PREFIX, if defined, but only if this is a native
compiler.
MD_STARTFILE_PREFIX, if defined, but only if this is a
native compiler, or we have a target system root.
MD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1, if defined, but only if this is a
native compiler, or we have a target system root.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX, with any sysroot modifications.
If this path is relative it will be prefixed by GCC_EXEC_PREFIX and
the machine suffix or STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX and the machine suffix.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_1, but only if this is a native
compiler, or we have a target system root. The default for this macro is
/lib/.
STANDARD_STARTFILE_PREFIX_2, but only if this is a native
compiler, or we have a target system root. The default for this macro is
/usr/lib/.
