<!-- ####################################################### -->
<hr />
<p>Here are some of the non-obvious options to libstdc++'s configure.
Keep in mind that
<!-- This SECnn should be the "Choosing Package Options" section. -->
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/manual/autoconf/html_node/Package-Options.html#Package%20Options">they
all have opposite forms as well</a>
(enable/disable and with/without). The defaults are for current
development sources.
</p>
<p>The canonical way to find out the configure options that are
available for a given set of libstdc++ sources is to go to the
source directory and then type:<code> ./configure --help</code>
</p>
<dl>
<dt><code>--enable-multilib </code>[default]</dt>
<dd><p>This is part of the generic multilib support for building cross
compilers. As such, targets like &quot;powerpc-elf&quot; will have
libstdc++ built many different ways: &quot;-msoft-float&quot;
and not, etc. A different libstdc++ will be built for each of
the different multilib versions. This option is on by default.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-sjlj-exceptions </code></dt>
<dd><p>Forces old, set-jump/long-jump exception handling model. If
at all possible, the new, frame unwinding exception handling routines
should be used instead, as they significantly reduce both
runtime memory usage and executable size. This option can
change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs </code></dt>
<dd><p>Specify that run-time libraries should be installed in the
compiler-specific subdirectory (i.e.,
<code>${libdir}/gcc-lib/${target_alias}/${gcc_version}</code>)
instead of <code>${libdir}</code>. This option is useful if you
intend to use several versions of gcc in parallel. In addition,
libstdc++'s include files will be installed in
<code>${libdir}/gcc-lib/${target_alias}/${gcc_version}/include/g++</code>,
unless you also specify
<code>--with-gxx-include-dir=<em>dirname</em></code> during configuration.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--with-gxx-include-dir=&lt;include-files dir&gt;</code></dt>
<dd><p>Adds support for named libstdc++ include directory. For instance,
the following puts all the libstdc++ headers into a directory
called &quot;2.97-20001008&quot; instead of the usual
&quot;c++/(version)&quot;.
</p>
<pre>
--with-gxx-include-dir=/foo/H-x86-gcc-3-c-gxx-inc/include/2.97-20001008</pre> </dd>
<dt><code>--enable-cstdio </code></dt>
<dd><p>This is an abbreviated form of <code>'--enable-cstdio=stdio'</code>
(described next). This option can change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-cstdio=OPTION </code></dt>
<dd><p>Select a target-specific I/O package. As of libstdc++-v3
snapshot 3.0.96, the choices are 'libio' to specify the GNU
I/O package (from
<a href="http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/">glibc</a>, the
GNU C library), or 'stdio' to use a generic &quot;C&quot;
abstraction. The default is 'stdio'. A longer explanation
is <a href="explanations.html#cstdio">here</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-clocale </code></dt>
<dd><p>This is an abbreviated form of <code>'--enable-clocale=generic'</code>
(described next). This option can change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-clocale=OPTION </code></dt>
<dd><p>Select a target-specific underlying locale package. The
choices are 'ieee_1003.1-2001' to specify an X/Open, Standard Unix
(IEEE Std. 1003.1-2001) model based on langinfo/iconv/catgets,
'gnu' to specify a model based on functionality from the GNU C
library (langinfo/iconv/gettext) (from <a
href="http://sources.redhat.com/glibc/">glibc</a>, the GNU C
library), or 'generic' to use a generic &quot;C&quot;
abstraction which consists of &quot;C&quot; locale info.
</p>
<p>As part of the configuration process, the "C" library is
probed both for sufficient vintage, and installed locale
data. If either of these elements are not present, the C++
locale model default to 'generic.' On glibc-based systems of
version 2.2.5 and above with installed locale files, 'gnu' is
automatically selected.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-cheaders=OPTION </code></dt>
<dd><p>This allows the user to define what kind of C headers are
used. Options are: c, c_std, and c_shadow. These correspond
to the source directory's include/c, include/c_std, and
include/c_shadow directories. The default is c_std.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-threads </code></dt>
<dd><p>This is an abbreviated form of <code>'--enable-threads=yes'</code>
(described next). This option can change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-threads=OPTION </code></dt>
<dd><p>Select a threading library. A full description is given in the
general <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html">compiler
configuration instructions</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-debug </code></dt>
<dd><p>Build separate debug libraries in addition to what is normally built.
By default, the debug libraries are compiled with
<code> CXXFLAGS='-g3 -O0'</code>
, are installed in <code>${libdir}/debug</code>, and have the
same names and versioning information as the non-debug
libraries. This option is off by default.
<p>
Note this make command, executed in
the build directory, will do much the same thing, without the
configuration difference and without building everything twice:
<code>make CXXFLAGS='-g3 -O0' all</code>
</p>
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-debug-flags=FLAGS</code></dt>
<dd><p>This option is only valid when <code> --enable-debug </code>
is also specified, and applies to the debug builds only. With
this option, you can pass a specific string of flags to the
compiler to use when building the debug versions of libstdc++.
FLAGS is a quoted string of options, like
</p>
<pre>
--enable-debug-flags='-g3 -O1 -gdwarf-2'</pre>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-cxx-flags=FLAGS</code></dt>
<dd><p>With this option, you can pass a string of -f (functionality)
flags to the compiler to use when building libstdc++. This
option can change the library ABI. FLAGS is a quoted string of
options, like
</p>
<pre>
--enable-cxx-flags='-fvtable-gc -fomit-frame-pointer -ansi'</pre>
<p>
Note that the flags don't necessarily have to all be -f flags,
as shown, but usually those are the ones that will make sense
for experimentation and configure-time overriding.
</p>
<p>The advantage of --enable-cxx-flags over setting CXXFLAGS in
the 'make' environment is that, if files are automatically
rebuilt, the same flags will be used when compiling those files
as well, so that everything matches.
</p>
<p>Fun flags to try might include combinations of
</p>
<pre>
-fstrict-aliasing
-fno-exceptions
-ffunction-sections
-fvtable-gc</pre>
<p>and opposite forms (-fno-) of the same. Tell us (the libstdc++
mailing list) if you discover more!
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-c99 </code></dt>
<dd><p>The &quot;long long&quot; type was introduced in C99, along
with many other functions for wide characters, and math
classification macros, etc. If enabled, all C99 functions not
specified by the C++ standard will be put into <code>namespace
__gnu_cxx</code>, and then all these names will
be injected into namespace std, so that C99 functions can be
used &quot;as if&quot; they were in the C++ standard (as they
will eventually be in some future revision of the standard,
without a doubt). By default, C99 support is on, assuming the
configure probes find all the necessary functions and bits
necessary. This option can change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-c-mbchar </code>[default]</dt>
<dd><p>Certain template specializations are required for wide
character conversion support. This is tricky and currently
changing rapidly, and can cause problems on new platforms.
Disabling wide character specializations is useful for initial
porting steps, but builds only a subset of what is required by
ISO. By default, this option is on. This option can change
the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-long-long </code></dt>
<dd><p>The &quot;long long&quot; type was introduced in C99. It is
provided as a GNU extension to C++98 in g++. This flag builds
support for &quot;long long&quot; into the library (specialized
templates and the like for iostreams). This option is on by default:
if enabled, users will have to either use the new-style &quot;C&quot;
headers by default (i.e., &lt;cmath&gt; not &lt;math.h&gt;)
or add appropriate compile-time flags to all compile lines to
allow &quot;C&quot; visibility of this feature (on GNU/Linux,
the flag is -D_ISOC99_SOURCE, which is added automatically via
CPLUSPLUS_CPP_SPEC's addition of _GNU_SOURCE).
This option can change the library ABI.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-concept-checks </code></dt>
<dd><p>This turns on additional compile-time checks for instantiated
library templates, in the form of specialized templates,
<a href="19_diagnostics/howto.html#3">described here</a>. They
can help users discover when they break the rules of the STL, before
their programs run.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>--enable-symvers[=style] </code></dt>
<dd><p>In 3.1 and later, tries to turn on symbol versioning in the
shared library (if a shared library has been requested). The
only 'style' currently supported is 'gnu' which requires that
a recent version of the GNU linker be in use. With no style
given, the configure script will try to guess if the 'gnu'
style can be used, and if so, will turn it on. Hopefully
people will volunteer to do other 'style' options.
