Common items 

Description 

Value from <parent configuration or option set> 

Indicates the value in the parent build configuration or referenced option set. If you change this value here, the change will potentially affect the Base configuration (that is, if you click OK on the Project->Options dialog and subsequently build your project).  

<any item in red print> 

Indicates that this option has secondary options available. To view the secondary options, click the + sign in front of the option in red.  

<any item in boldface print> 

Indicates that the value of this option has been changed from the value in the parent configuration or referenced option set.  

Pop-Up Button 

Appears after you click an option that has a set of available choices (such as True, False). Click to display and choose the value you want from the available choices.  

Output options 

Description 

Disable compiler autodependency output (-X) 

Disables output of results of autodependency checking into the .obj file. The IDE uses the autodependency information (a list of the #include files in your project) to keep your object files up to date. If this option is enabled, the dependency checker does not rebuild source files whose Include files have changed. Default = False (Enabled)  

Don't prefix underbars to exported symbols (-vu) 

Do not prefix underscore characters to exported symbol names. Default = False  

Exclude system headers from dependency info (-mm) 

Ignores system header files while generating dependency information. Default = False  

Generate underscores on symbol names (-u)* 

The compiler automatically adds an underscore character (_) in front of every global identifier (functions and global variables) before saving them in the object module. Pascal identifiers (those modified by the __pascal keyword) are converted to uppercase and are not prefixed with an underscore.
Underscores for C and C++ are optional, but you should turn this option on to avoid errors if you are linking with the CodeGear C++ libraries.
Default = True  

Include browser information .obj files (-R) 

Includes browser information in generated .OBJ files. Default = False  

General option 

Description 

Default 

Saves the current settings as the default for each new project.
