<p>This section describes command-line options that are primarily of
interest to GCC developers, including options to support compiler
testing and investigation of compiler bugs and compile-time
performance problems.  This includes options that produce debug dumps
at various points in the compilation; that print statistics such as
memory use and execution time; and that print information about GCC&rsquo;s
configuration, such as where it searches for libraries.  You should
rarely need to use any of these options for ordinary compilation and
linking tasks.

<a name="index-fdump_002drtl_002dpass"></a>
<p>Says to make debugging dumps during compilation at times specified by
<var>letters</var>.  This is used for debugging the RTL-based passes of the
compiler.  The file names for most of the dumps are made by appending
a pass number and a word to the <var>dumpname</var>, and the files are
created in the directory of the output file.  In case of
<samp>=<var>filename</var></samp> option, the dump is output on the given file
instead of the pass numbered dump files.  Note that the pass number is
assigned as passes are registered into the pass manager.  Most passes
are registered in the order that they will execute and for these passes
the number corresponds to the pass execution order.  However, passes
registered by plugins, passes specific to compilation targets, or
passes that are otherwise registered after all the other passes are
numbered higher than a pass named &quot;final&quot;, even if they are executed
earlier.  <var>dumpname</var> is generated from the name of the output
file if explicitly specified and not an executable, otherwise it is
the basename of the source file.  
</p>
<p>Some <samp>-d<var>letters</var></samp> switches have different meaning when
<samp>-E</samp> is used for preprocessing.  See <a href="Preprocessor-Options.html#Preprocessor-Options">Preprocessor Options</a>,
for information about preprocessor-specific dump options.
</p>
<p>Debug dumps can be enabled with a <samp>-fdump-rtl</samp> switch or some
<samp>-d</samp> option <var>letters</var>.  Here are the possible
letters for use in <var>pass</var> and <var>letters</var>, and their meanings:

<p>To determine what tree dumps are available or find the dump for a pass
of interest follow the steps below.
</p>
<ol>
<li> Invoke GCC with <samp>-fdump-passes</samp> and in the <samp>stderr</samp> output
look for a code that corresponds to the pass you are interested in.
For example, the codes <code>tree-evrp</code>, <code>tree-vrp1</code>, and
<code>tree-vrp2</code> correspond to the three Value Range Propagation passes.
The number at the end distinguishes distinct invocations of the same pass.
</li><li> To enable the creation of the dump file, append the pass code to
the <samp>-fdump-</samp> option prefix and invoke GCC with it.  For example,
to enable the dump from the Early Value Range Propagation pass, invoke
GCC with the <samp>-fdump-tree-evrp</samp> option.  Optionally, you may
specify the name of the dump file.  If you don&rsquo;t specify one, GCC
creates as described below.
</li><li> Find the pass dump in a file whose name is composed of three components
separated by a period: the name of the source file GCC was invoked to
compile, a numeric suffix indicating the pass number followed by the
letter &lsquo;<samp>t</samp>&rsquo; for tree passes (and the letter &lsquo;<samp>r</samp>&rsquo; for RTL passes),
and finally the pass code.  For example, the Early VRP pass dump might
be in a file named <samp>myfile.c.038t.evrp</samp> in the current working
directory.  Note that the numeric codes are not stable and may change
from one version of GCC to another.

<p>Controls optimization dumps from various optimization passes. If the
&lsquo;<samp>-<var>options</var></samp>&rsquo; form is used, <var>options</var> is a list of
&lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo; separated option keywords to select the dump details and
optimizations.  
</p>
<p>The <var>options</var> can be divided into two groups: options describing the
verbosity of the dump, and options describing which optimizations
should be included. The options from both the groups can be freely
mixed as they are non-overlapping. However, in case of any conflicts,
the later options override the earlier options on the command
line. 
</p>
<p>The following options control the dump verbosity:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>optimized</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Print information when an optimization is successfully applied. It is
up to a pass to decide which information is relevant. For example, the
vectorizer passes print the source location of loops which are
successfully vectorized.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>missed</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Print information about missed optimizations. Individual passes
control which information to include in the output. 
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>note</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Print verbose information about optimizations, such as certain
transformations, more detailed messages about decisions etc.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>all</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Print detailed optimization information. This includes
&lsquo;<samp>optimized</samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp>missed</samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp>note</samp>&rsquo;.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>One or more of the following option keywords can be used to describe a
group of optimizations:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>ipa</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Enable dumps from all interprocedural optimizations.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>loop</samp>&rsquo;</dt>

<dd><p>Enable dumps from all vectorization optimizations.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>optall</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Enable dumps from all optimizations. This is a superset of
the optimization groups listed above.
</p></dd>
</dl>

<p>If <var>options</var> is
omitted, it defaults to &lsquo;<samp>optimized-optall</samp>&rsquo;, which means to dump all
info about successful optimizations from all the passes.  
</p>
<p>If the <var>filename</var> is provided, then the dumps from all the
applicable optimizations are concatenated into the <var>filename</var>.
Otherwise the dump is output onto <samp>stderr</samp>. Though multiple
<samp>-fopt-info</samp> options are accepted, only one of them can include
a <var>filename</var>. If other filenames are provided then all but the
first such option are ignored.
</p>
<p>Note that the output <var>filename</var> is overwritten
in case of multiple translation units. If a combined output from
multiple translation units is desired, <samp>stderr</samp> should be used
instead.
</p>
<p>In the following example, the optimization info is output to
<samp>stderr</samp>:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -O3 -fopt-info
</pre></div>

<p>This example:
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -O3 -fopt-info-missed=missed.all

<p>outputs missed optimization report from all the passes into

</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -O2 -ftree-vectorize -fopt-info-vec-missed
</pre></div>

<p>prints information about missed optimization opportunities from
vectorization passes on <samp>stderr</samp>.  
Note that <samp>-fopt-info-vec-missed</samp> is equivalent to 
<samp>-fopt-info-missed-vec</samp>.
</p>
<p>As another example,
</p><div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -O3 -fopt-info-inline-optimized-missed=inline.txt
</pre></div>

<p>outputs information about missed optimizations as well as
optimized locations from all the inlining passes into
<samp>inline.txt</samp>.
</p>
<p>Finally, consider:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -fopt-info-vec-missed=vec.miss -fopt-info-loop-optimized=loop.opt
</pre></div>

<p>Here the two output filenames <samp>vec.miss</samp> and <samp>loop.opt</samp> are
in conflict since only one output file is allowed. In this case, only
the first option takes effect and the subsequent options are
ignored. Thus only <samp>vec.miss</samp> is produced which contains
dumps from the vectorizer about missed opportunities.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-fsched-verbose=<var>n</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fsched_002dverbose"></a>
<p>On targets that use instruction scheduling, this option controls the
amount of debugging output the scheduler prints to the dump files.
</p>
<p>For <var>n</var> greater than zero, <samp>-fsched-verbose</samp> outputs the
same information as <samp>-fdump-rtl-sched1</samp> and <samp>-fdump-rtl-sched2</samp>.
For <var>n</var> greater than one, it also output basic block probabilities,
detailed ready list information and unit/insn info.  For <var>n</var> greater
than two, it includes RTL at abort point, control-flow and regions info.
And for <var>n</var> over four, <samp>-fsched-verbose</samp> also includes
dependence info.

<dt><code>-fchecking=<var>n</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fchecking"></a>
<a name="index-fno_002dchecking"></a>
<p>Enable internal consistency checking.  The default depends on
the compiler configuration.  <samp>-fchecking=2</samp> enables further
internal consistency checking that might affect code generation.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-frandom-seed=<var>string</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-frandom_002dseed"></a>
<p>This option provides a seed that GCC uses in place of
random numbers in generating certain symbol names
that have to be different in every compiled file.  It is also used to
place unique stamps in coverage data files and the object files that
produce them.  You can use the <samp>-frandom-seed</samp> option to produce
reproducibly identical object files.
</p>
<p>The <var>string</var> can either be a number (decimal, octal or hex) or an
arbitrary string (in which case it&rsquo;s converted to a number by
computing CRC32).
</p>
<p>The <var>string</var> should be different for every file you compile.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-save-temps</code></dt>
<dt><code>-save-temps=cwd</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-save_002dtemps"></a>
<p>Store the usual &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; intermediate files permanently; place them
in the current directory and name them based on the source file.  Thus,
compiling <samp>foo.c</samp> with <samp>-c -save-temps</samp> produces files
<samp>foo.i</samp> and <samp>foo.s</samp>, as well as <samp>foo.o</samp>.  This creates a
preprocessed <samp>foo.i</samp> output file even though the compiler now
normally uses an integrated preprocessor.
</p>
<p>When used in combination with the <samp>-x</samp> command-line option,
<samp>-save-temps</samp> is sensible enough to avoid over writing an
input source file with the same extension as an intermediate file.
The corresponding intermediate file may be obtained by renaming the
source file before using <samp>-save-temps</samp>.
</p>
<p>If you invoke GCC in parallel, compiling several different source
files that share a common base name in different subdirectories or the
same source file compiled for multiple output destinations, it is
likely that the different parallel compilers will interfere with each
other, and overwrite the temporary files.  For instance:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -save-temps -o outdir1/foo.o indir1/foo.c&amp;
gcc -save-temps -o outdir2/foo.o indir2/foo.c&amp;
</pre></div>

<p>may result in <samp>foo.i</samp> and <samp>foo.o</samp> being written to
simultaneously by both compilers.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-save-temps=obj</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-save_002dtemps_003dobj"></a>
<p>Store the usual &ldquo;temporary&rdquo; intermediate files permanently.  If the
<samp>-o</samp> option is used, the temporary files are based on the
object file.  If the <samp>-o</samp> option is not used, the
<samp>-save-temps=obj</samp> switch behaves like <samp>-save-temps</samp>.
</p>
<p>For example:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">gcc -save-temps=obj -c foo.c
gcc -save-temps=obj -c bar.c -o dir/xbar.o
gcc -save-temps=obj foobar.c -o dir2/yfoobar
</pre></div>

<p>creates <samp>foo.i</samp>, <samp>foo.s</samp>, <samp>dir/xbar.i</samp>,
<samp>dir/xbar.s</samp>, <samp>dir2/yfoobar.i</samp>, <samp>dir2/yfoobar.s</samp>, and
<samp>dir2/yfoobar.o</samp>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-time<span class="roman">[</span>=<var>file</var><span class="roman">]</span></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-time"></a>
<p>Report the CPU time taken by each subprocess in the compilation
sequence.  For C source files, this is the compiler proper and assembler
(plus the linker if linking is done).
</p>
<p>Without the specification of an output file, the output looks like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample"># cc1 0.12 0.01
# as 0.00 0.01
</pre></div>

<p>The first number on each line is the &ldquo;user time&rdquo;, that is time spent
executing the program itself.  The second number is &ldquo;system time&rdquo;,
time spent executing operating system routines on behalf of the program.
Both numbers are in seconds.
</p>
<p>With the specification of an output file, the output is appended to the
named file, and it looks like this:
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">0.12 0.01 cc1 <var>options</var>
0.00 0.01 as <var>options</var>
</pre></div>

<p>The &ldquo;user time&rdquo; and the &ldquo;system time&rdquo; are moved before the program
name, and the options passed to the program are displayed, so that one
can later tell what file was being compiled, and with which options.
</p>

<dd><a name="index-fdump_002dfinal_002dinsns"></a>
<p>Dump the final internal representation (RTL) to <var>file</var>.  If the

<dd><a name="index-fcompare_002ddebug"></a>
<a name="index-fno_002dcompare_002ddebug"></a>
<p>If no error occurs during compilation, run the compiler a second time,
adding <var>opts</var> and <samp>-fcompare-debug-second</samp> to the arguments
passed to the second compilation.  Dump the final internal
representation in both compilations, and print an error if they differ.
</p>
<p>If the equal sign is omitted, the default <samp>-gtoggle</samp> is used.
</p>
<p>The environment variable <code>GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG</code>, if defined, non-empty
and nonzero, implicitly enables <samp>-fcompare-debug</samp>.  If
<code>GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG</code> is defined to a string starting with a dash,
then it is used for <var>opts</var>, otherwise the default <samp>-gtoggle</samp>
is used.
</p>
<p><samp>-fcompare-debug=</samp>, with the equal sign but without <var>opts</var>,
is equivalent to <samp>-fno-compare-debug</samp>, which disables the dumping
of the final representation and the second compilation, preventing even
<code>GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG</code> from taking effect.
</p>
<p>To verify full coverage during <samp>-fcompare-debug</samp> testing, set
<code>GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG</code> to say <samp>-fcompare-debug-not-overridden</samp>,
which GCC rejects as an invalid option in any actual compilation
(rather than preprocessing, assembly or linking).  To get just a
warning, setting <code>GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG</code> to &lsquo;<samp>-w%n-fcompare-debug
not overridden</samp>&rsquo; will do.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-fcompare-debug-second</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fcompare_002ddebug_002dsecond"></a>
<p>This option is implicitly passed to the compiler for the second
compilation requested by <samp>-fcompare-debug</samp>, along with options to
silence warnings, and omitting other options that would cause
side-effect compiler outputs to files or to the standard output.  Dump
files and preserved temporary files are renamed so as to contain the
<code>.gk</code> additional extension during the second compilation, to avoid
overwriting those generated by the first.
</p>
<p>When this option is passed to the compiler driver, it causes the
<em>first</em> compilation to be skipped, which makes it useful for little
other than debugging the compiler proper.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-gtoggle</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-gtoggle"></a>
<p>Turn off generation of debug info, if leaving out this option
generates it, or turn it on at level 2 otherwise.  The position of this
argument in the command line does not matter; it takes effect after all
other options are processed, and it does so only once, no matter how
many times it is given.  This is mainly intended to be used with
<samp>-fcompare-debug</samp>.

<dt><code>-ftime-report-details</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-ftime_002dreport_002ddetails"></a>

<dd><a name="index-fira_002dverbose"></a>
<p>Control the verbosity of the dump file for the integrated register allocator.
The default value is 5.  If the value <var>n</var> is greater or equal to 10,

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-flto-report</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-flto_002dreport"></a>
<p>Prints a report with internal details on the workings of the link-time

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-fstack-usage</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fstack_002dusage"></a>
<p>Makes the compiler output stack usage information for the program, on a
per-function basis.  The filename for the dump is made by appending
<samp>.su</samp> to the <var>auxname</var>.  <var>auxname</var> is generated from the name of
the output file, if explicitly specified and it is not an executable,
otherwise it is the basename of the source file.  An entry is made up
of three fields:
</p>
<ul>
<li> The name of the function.
</li><li> A number of bytes.
</li><li> One or more qualifiers: <code>static</code>, <code>dynamic</code>, <code>bounded</code>.
</li></ul>

<p>The qualifier <code>static</code> means that the function manipulates the stack
statically: a fixed number of bytes are allocated for the frame on function
entry and released on function exit; no stack adjustments are otherwise made
in the function.  The second field is this fixed number of bytes.
</p>
<p>The qualifier <code>dynamic</code> means that the function manipulates the stack
dynamically: in addition to the static allocation described above, stack
adjustments are made in the body of the function, for example to push/pop
arguments around function calls.  If the qualifier <code>bounded</code> is also
present, the amount of these adjustments is bounded at compile time and
the second field is an upper bound of the total amount of stack used by
the function.  If it is not present, the amount of these adjustments is
not bounded at compile time and the second field only represents the
bounded part.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-fstats</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fstats"></a>
<p>Emit statistics about front-end processing at the end of the compilation.
This option is supported only by the C++ front end, and
the information is generally only useful to the G++ development team.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-fdbg-cnt-list</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fdbg_002dcnt_002dlist"></a>
<p>Print the name and the counter upper bound for all debug counters.
</p>

</dd>
<dt><code>-fdbg-cnt=<var>counter-value-list</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-fdbg_002dcnt"></a>
<p>Set the internal debug counter upper bound.  <var>counter-value-list</var>
is a comma-separated list of <var>name</var>:<var>value</var> pairs
which sets the upper bound of each debug counter <var>name</var> to <var>value</var>.
All debug counters have the initial upper bound of <code>UINT_MAX</code>;
thus <code>dbg_cnt</code> returns true always unless the upper bound
is set by this option.
For example, with <samp>-fdbg-cnt=dce:10,tail_call:0</samp>,
<code>dbg_cnt(dce)</code> returns true only for first 10 invocations.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-file-name=<var>library</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dfile_002dname"></a>
<p>Print the full absolute name of the library file <var>library</var> that
would be used when linking&mdash;and don&rsquo;t do anything else.  With this
option, GCC does not compile or link anything; it just prints the
file name.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-multi-directory</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dmulti_002ddirectory"></a>
<p>Print the directory name corresponding to the multilib selected by any
other switches present in the command line.  This directory is supposed
to exist in <code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-multi-lib</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dmulti_002dlib"></a>
<p>Print the mapping from multilib directory names to compiler switches
that enable them.  The directory name is separated from the switches by
&lsquo;<samp>;</samp>&rsquo;, and each switch starts with an &lsquo;<samp>@</samp>&rsquo; instead of the
&lsquo;<samp>-</samp>&rsquo;, without spaces between multiple switches.  This is supposed to
ease shell processing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-multi-os-directory</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dmulti_002dos_002ddirectory"></a>
<p>Print the path to OS libraries for the selected
multilib, relative to some <samp>lib</samp> subdirectory.  If OS libraries are
present in the <samp>lib</samp> subdirectory and no multilibs are used, this is
usually just <samp>.</samp>, if OS libraries are present in <samp>lib<var>suffix</var></samp>
sibling directories this prints e.g. <samp>../lib64</samp>, <samp>../lib</samp> or
<samp>../lib32</samp>, or if OS libraries are present in <samp>lib/<var>subdir</var></samp>
subdirectories it prints e.g. <samp>amd64</samp>, <samp>sparcv9</samp> or <samp>ev6</samp>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-multiarch</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dmultiarch"></a>
<p>Print the path to OS libraries for the selected multiarch,
relative to some <samp>lib</samp> subdirectory.

</dd>
<dt><code>-print-prog-name=<var>program</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dprog_002dname"></a>

</p>
<p>This is useful when you use <samp>-nostdlib</samp> or <samp>-nodefaultlibs</samp>
but you do want to link with <samp>libgcc.a</samp>.  You can do:

<dd><a name="index-print_002dsearch_002ddirs"></a>
<p>Print the name of the configured installation directory and a list of
program and library directories <code>gcc</code> searches&mdash;and don&rsquo;t do anything else.
</p>
<p>This is useful when <code>gcc</code> prints the error message
&lsquo;<samp>installation problem, cannot exec cpp0: No such file or directory</samp>&rsquo;.
To resolve this you either need to put <samp>cpp0</samp> and the other compiler
components where <code>gcc</code> expects to find them, or you can set the environment
variable <code>GCC_EXEC_PREFIX</code> to the directory where you installed them.
Don&rsquo;t forget the trailing &lsquo;<samp>/</samp>&rsquo;.

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-sysroot</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dsysroot"></a>
<p>Print the target sysroot directory that is used during
compilation.  This is the target sysroot specified either at configure
time or using the <samp>--sysroot</samp> option, possibly with an extra
suffix that depends on compilation options.  If no target sysroot is
specified, the option prints nothing.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-print-sysroot-headers-suffix</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-print_002dsysroot_002dheaders_002dsuffix"></a>
<p>Print the suffix added to the target sysroot when searching for

a suffix&mdash;and don&rsquo;t do anything else.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-dumpmachine</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-dumpmachine"></a>
<p>Print the compiler&rsquo;s target machine (for example,

</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>-dumpversion</code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-dumpversion"></a>
<p>Print the compiler version (for example, <code>3.0</code>, <code>6.3.0</code> or <code>7</code>)&mdash;and don&rsquo;t do
anything else.  This is the compiler version used in filesystem paths,
specs, can be depending on how the compiler has been configured just
a single number (major version), two numbers separated by dot (major and
minor version) or three numbers separated by dots (major, minor and patchlevel
version).
</p>
