C++ Compiler: CodeGuard compile support 

Description 

CodeGuard debug level  

None *
CodeGuard is off. This is the default.
Level 0 (-vG0)
Enables CodeGuard level 0.
Level 1 (-vG1)
Enables CodeGuard level 1. This turns on the -vGd option.
Level 2 (-vG2)
Enables CodeGuard level 2. This turns on the -vGd and -vGt options.
Level 3 (-vG3)
Enables CodeGuard level 3. This turns on the -vGd, -vGc , and -vGt options.  

C++ Compiler: Compatibility options 

Description 

Place no restrictions on where member pointers can point (-Vmv)  

When this option is enabled, the compiler places no restrictions on where member pointers can point. Member pointers use the most general (but not always the most efficient) representation.  

C++ Compiler: Other Options 

Description 

Ignore system header files while generating dependency info (-mm)  

Ignores system header files while generating dependency information  

Console application (-tC)  

 

C++ Compiler: Target Setting option 

Description 

Windows application (-tW)  

Target is a Windows application (same as -W)  

Console application (-tWC)  

Target is a console application (same as -WC)  

Dynamic-link library (-tWD)  

Generate a .DLL executable (same as -WD)  

32–bit multi-threaded project (-tWM)  

The compiler creates a multi-threaded .EXE or .DLL. (The command-line option -WM is supported for backward compatibility only; it has the same functionality as -tWM.)
This option is not needed if you include a module definition file in your compile and link commands which specifies the type of 32-bit application you intend to build.  

Generate a Unicode application (-tWU)  

Generates a Unicode application  

C++ Compiler: Template option

Exports symbols.  

Real-type compatibility (-$REALCOMPATIBILITY ON)  

Enables real-type compatibility.

IDL to C++ Compiler 

Description 

General  

The IDL to C++ Compiler is no longer in the product.  

Linker: Linking Options 

Description 

Suppress banner (-q)  

Suppresses the banner.  

Linker: Output Settings options 

Description 

Exe file  

The name you want given to the executable file ( .EXE, or .DLL). If you don't specify an executable file name, ILINK32 derives the name of the executable by appending .EXE or .DLL to the first object file name listed. (The linker assumes or appends an .EXE extensions for executable files if no extension is present. It also assumes or appends a .DLL extension for dynamic link libraries if no extension is present.)  

Map file  

Is the name you want given to the map file. If you don't specify a name, the map file name is given the same as exefile (but with the .MAP extension). (The linker appends a .MAP extensions if no extension is present.)  

Linker: Application Type option 

Description 

32–bit Windows application (-aa)  

Generates a protected-mode executable that runs using the 32-bit Windows API.  

Windows device driver (-ad)  

The application type is set to NATIVE, and the image checksum is calculated and set.  

Console application (-ap)  

Generates a 32-bit protected-mode executable file that runs in console mode.  

Linker: Input Setting option 

Description 

Object files  

The .OBJ files you want linked. Specify the path if the files aren't in the current directory. (The linker appends an .OBJ extensions if no extension is present.)  

Library files  

The library files you want included at link time. Do not use commas to separate the libraries listed. If a file is not in the current directory or the search path then you must include the path in the link statement. (The linker appends a .LIB extension if no extension is present.)
The order in which you list the libraries is very important; be sure to use the order defined in this list:

1. Code Guard libraries (if needed)
   
2. List any of your own user libraries, noting that if a function is defined more than once, the linker uses the first definition encountered
   
3. IMPORT32.LIB (if you’re creating an executable that uses the Windows API)
   
4. Math libraries
   
5. Runtime libraries

 

Resource files  

A list of .RES files (compiled resource files) to bind to the executable. (The linker appends an .RES extension if no extension is present.)  

Def file  

The module definition file for a Windows executable. If you don't specify a module definition (.DEF) file and you have used the /Twe or /Twd option, the linker creates an application based on default settings. (The linker appends a .DEF extension if no extension is present.)  

Linker: Packages option 

Description 

Package base name (-GB)  

Assigns a base name for the package  

Static package (-GI)  

Generates a static package  

Design time only package (-Gpd)  

Generates a design-time-only package. (If neither /Gpr nor /Gpd is used, the resulting package works at both design time and runtime.)  

Runtime only package (-Gpr)  

Generates a runtime-only package. (If neither /Gpr nor /Gpd is used, the resulting package works at both design time and runtime.)  

Linker: Paths and Defines option 

Description 

Specify object search paths (-j)  

Specifies the directories the linker will search if there is no explicit path given for an object module in the compile/link statement.
The Specify Object Search Path uses the following command-line syntax:
\j<PathSpec>[;<PathSpec>][..]
The linker uses the specified object search path(s) if there is no explicit path given for the object file and the linker cannot find the object file in the current directory. For example, the command
ILINK32 /jc:\myobjs;.\objs splash.\common\logo,,,utils logolib
directs the linker to first search the current directory for SPLASH.OBJ. If it is not found in he current directory, the linker then searches for the file in the C:\MYOBJS directory, and then in the .\OBJs directory. However, notice that the linker does not use the object search paths to find the file LOGO.OBJ because an explicit path was given for this file  

Linker: PE FiIe options 

Description 

Specify image base address (preserve relocation table) (-b)  

Specifies an image base address for your executable or DLL. The load address of the first object in the application or library is set to the number you specify, if possible, and all successive objects are aligned on 64K linear address boundaries; internal fixups are ignored. However, if the module cannot be loaded using the specified address, the operating system reverts to its default setting and applies internal fixups.  

Linker: Windows Application Type options 

Description 

Windows Dynamic-link Library (-Tpd)  

The linker generates a 32-bit protected-mode Windows .DLL file.  

Windows Executable (-Tpe)  

The linker generates a 32-bit protected-mode Windows .EXE file.
