<H2><A NAME="ss2.2">2.2</A> <A HREF="cc65.html#toc2.2">Command line options in detail</A>
</H2>
<P>Here is a description of all the command line options:</P>
<P>
<DL>
<DT><B><CODE>--bss-name seg</CODE></B><DD><P>Set the name of the bss segment.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--check-stack</CODE></B><DD><P>Tells the compiler to generate code that checks for stack overflows. See
<CODE>
<A HREF="cc65-7.html#pragma-checkstack">#pragma&nbsp;checkstack</A></CODE> for an
explanation of this feature.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--code-name seg</CODE></B><DD><P>Set the name of the code segment.</P>
<P>
<A NAME="option-codesize"></A> </P>
<DT><B><CODE>--codesize x</CODE></B><DD><P>This options allows finer control about speed vs. size decisions in the code
generation and optimization phases. It gives the allowed size increase
factor (in percent). The default is 100 when not using <CODE>-Oi</CODE> and 200 when
using <CODE>-Oi</CODE> (<CODE>-Oi</CODE> is the same as <CODE>--codesize&nbsp;200</CODE>).</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--cpu CPU</CODE></B><DD><P>A new, still experimental option. You may specify "6502" or "65C02" as
the CPU. 6502 is the default, so this will not change anything.
Specifying 65C02 will use a few 65C02 instructions when generating code.
Don't expect too much from this option: It is still new (and may have
bugs), and the additional instructions for the 65C02 are not that
overwhelming.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--create-dep</CODE></B><DD><P>Tells the compiler to generate a file containing the dependency list for
the compiled module in makefile syntax. The file is named as the C input
file with the extension replaced by <CODE>.u</CODE>.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-d, --debug</CODE></B><DD><P>Enables debug mode, something that should not be needed for mere
mortals:-)</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-D sym[=definition]</CODE></B><DD><P>Define a macro on the command line. If no definition is given, the macro
is defined to the value "1".</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--forget-inc-paths</CODE></B><DD><P>Forget the builtin include paths. This is most useful when building
customized C or runtime libraries, in which case the standard header
files should be ignored.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-g, --debug-info</CODE></B><DD><P>This will cause the compiler to insert a <CODE>.DEBUGINFO</CODE> command into the
generated assembler code. This will cause the assembler to include all
symbols in a special section in the object file.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-h, --help</CODE></B><DD><P>Print the short option summary shown above.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-o name</CODE></B><DD><P>Specify the name of the output file. If you don't specify a name, the
name of the C input file is used, with the extension replaced by ".s".</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-r, --register-vars</CODE></B><DD><P><CODE>-r</CODE> will make the compiler honor the <CODE>register</CODE> keyword. Local
variables may be placed in registers (which are actually zero page
locations). There is some overhead involved with register variables, since
the old contents of the registers must be saved and restored. Since register
variables are of limited use without the optimizer, there is also a combined
switch: <CODE>-Or</CODE> will enable both, the optimizer and register variables.</P>
<P>For more information about register variables see
<A HREF="cc65-8.html#regvars">register variables</A>.</P>
<P>The compiler setting can also be changed within the source file by using
<CODE>
<A HREF="cc65-7.html#pragma-regvars">#pragma&nbsp;regvars</A></CODE>.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--register-space</CODE></B><DD><P>This option takes a numeric parameter and is used to specify, how much
zero page register space is available. Please note that just giving this
option will not increase or decrease by itself, it will just tell the
compiler about the available space. You will have to allocate that space
yourself using an assembler module with the necessary allocations, and a
linker configuration that matches the assembler module. The default value
for this option is 6 (bytes).</P>
<P>If you don't know what all this means, please don't use this option.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--rodata-name seg</CODE></B><DD><P>Set the name of the rodata segment (the segment used for readonly data).</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-j, --signed-chars</CODE></B><DD><P>Using this option, you can make the default characters signed. Since the
6502 has no provisions for sign extending characters (which is needed on
almost any load operation), this will make the code larger and slower. A
better way is to declare characters explicitly as "signed" if needed. You
can also use <CODE>
<A HREF="cc65-7.html#pragma-signedchars">#pragma&nbsp;signedchars</A></CODE> for better control of this option.</P>
<P>
<A NAME="option--standard"></A> </P>
<DT><B><CODE>--standard std</CODE></B><DD><P>This option allows to set the language standard supported. The argument is
one of
<UL>
<LI>c89</LI>
<LI>c99</LI>
<LI>cc65</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-t target, --target target</CODE></B><DD><P>This option is used to set the target system. The target system
determines things like the character set that is used for strings and
character constants. The following target systems are supported:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>none</LI>
<LI>apple2</LI>
<LI>apple2enh</LI>
<LI>atari</LI>
<LI>atmos</LI>
<LI>c16 (works also for the c116 with memory up to 32K)</LI>
<LI>c64</LI>
<LI>c128</LI>
<LI>cbm510 (CBM-II series with 40 column video)</LI>
<LI>cbm610 (all CBM-II II computers with 80 column video)</LI>
<LI>geos</LI>
<LI>lunix</LI>
<LI>lynx</LI>
<LI>nes</LI>
<LI>pet (all CBM PET systems except the 2001)</LI>
<LI>plus4</LI>
<LI>supervision</LI>
<LI>vic20</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-v, --verbose</CODE></B><DD><P>Using this option, the compiler will be somewhat more verbose if errors
or warnings are encountered.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>--writable-strings</CODE></B><DD><P>Make string literals writable by placing them into the data segment instead
of the rodata segment.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-Cl, --static-locals</CODE></B><DD><P>Use static storage for local variables instead of storage on the stack.
Since the stack is emulated in software, this gives shorter and usually
faster code, but the code is no longer reentrant. The difference between
<CODE>-Cl</CODE> and declaring local variables as static yourself is, that
initializer code is executed each time, the function is entered. So when
using</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
void f (void)
{
unsigned a = 1;
...
}
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>the variable <CODE>a</CODE> will always have the value <CODE>1</CODE> when entering the
function and using <CODE>-Cl</CODE>, while in</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
void f (void)
{
static unsigned a = 1;
....
}
</PRE>
</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
</P>
<P>the variable <CODE>a</CODE> will have the value <CODE>1</CODE> only the first time that the
function is entered, and will keep the old value from one call of the
function to the next.</P>
<P>You may also use <CODE>
<A HREF="cc65-7.html#pragma-staticlocals">#pragma&nbsp;staticlocals</A></CODE> to change this setting in your
sources.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-I dir, --include-dir dir</CODE></B><DD><P>Set a directory where the compiler searches for include files. You may
use this option multiple times to add more than one directory to the
search list.</P>
<P>
<A NAME="option-O"></A> </P>
<DT><B><CODE>-O, -Oi, -Or, -Os</CODE></B><DD><P>Enable an optimizer run over the produced code.</P>
<P>Using <CODE>-Oi</CODE>, the code generator will inline some code where otherwise a
runtime functions would have been called, even if the generated code is
larger. This will not only remove the overhead for a function call, but will
make the code visible for the optimizer. <CODE>-Oi</CODE> is an alias for
<CODE>--codesize&nbsp;200</CODE>.</P>
<P><CODE>-Or</CODE> will make the compiler honor the <CODE>register</CODE> keyword. Local
variables may be placed in registers (which are actually zero page
locations). There is some overhead involved with register variables, since
the old contents of the registers must be saved and restored. In addition,
the current implementation does not make good use of register variables, so
using <CODE>-Or</CODE> may make your program even slower and larger. Use with care!</P>
<P>Using <CODE>-Os</CODE> will force the compiler to inline some known functions from
the C library like strlen. Note: This has two consequences:</P>
<P>
<UL>
<LI>You may not use names of standard C functions in your own code. If you
do that, your program is not standard compliant anyway, but using
<CODE>-Os</CODE> will actually break things.
</LI>
<LI>The inlined string and memory functions will not handle strings or
memory areas larger than 255 bytes. Similarly, the inlined <CODE>is..()</CODE>
functions will not work with values outside the char. range (such as
<CODE>EOF</CODE>).
</LI>
</UL>
</P>
<P>It is possible to concatenate the modifiers for <CODE>-O</CODE>. For example, to
enable register variables and inlining of known functions, you may use
<CODE>-Ors</CODE>.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-T, --add-source</CODE></B><DD><P>This include the source code as comments in the generated code. This is
normally not needed.</P>
<DT><B><CODE>-V, --version</CODE></B><DD><P>Print the version number of the compiler. When submitting a bug report,
please include the operating system you're using, and the compiler
version.</P>
<P>
<A NAME="option-W"></A> </P>
<DT><B><CODE>-W</CODE></B><DD><P>This option will suppress any warnings generated by the compiler. Since
any source file may be written in a manner that it will not produce
compiler warnings, using this option is usually not a good idea.</P>
