- <a name="index-dialect-options"></a>
- <a name="index-language-dialect-options"></a>
- <a name="index-options_002c-dialect"></a>
-
- <p>The following options control the dialect of C (or languages derived
- from C, such as C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++) that the compiler
- accepts:
- </p>
- <dl compact="compact">
- <dd><a name="index-ANSI-support"></a>
- <a name="index-ISO-support"></a>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>-ansi</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-ansi-1"></a>
- <p>In C mode, this is equivalent to <samp>-std=c90</samp>. In C++ mode, it is
- equivalent to <samp>-std=c++98</samp>.
- </p>
- <p>This turns off certain features of GCC that are incompatible with ISO
- C90 (when compiling C code), or of standard C++ (when compiling C++ code),
- such as the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code> keywords, and
- predefined macros such as <code>unix</code> and <code>vax</code> that identify the
- type of system you are using. It also enables the undesirable and
- rarely used ISO trigraph feature. For the C compiler,
- it disables recognition of C++ style ‘<samp>//</samp>’ comments as well as
- the <code>inline</code> keyword.
- </p>
- <p>The alternate keywords <code>__asm__</code>, <code>__extension__</code>,
- <code>__inline__</code> and <code>__typeof__</code> continue to work despite
- <samp>-ansi</samp>. You would not want to use them in an ISO C program, of
- course, but it is useful to put them in header files that might be included
- in compilations done with <samp>-ansi</samp>. Alternate predefined macros
- such as <code>__unix__</code> and <code>__vax__</code> are also available, with or
- without <samp>-ansi</samp>.
- </p>
- <p>The <samp>-ansi</samp> option does not cause non-ISO programs to be
- rejected gratuitously. For that, <samp>-Wpedantic</samp> is required in
- addition to <samp>-ansi</samp>. See <a href="Warning-Options.html#Warning-Options">Warning Options</a>.
- </p>
- <p>The macro <code>__STRICT_ANSI__</code> is predefined when the <samp>-ansi</samp>
- option is used. Some header files may notice this macro and refrain
- from declaring certain functions or defining certain macros that the
- ISO standard doesn’t call for; this is to avoid interfering with any
- programs that might use these names for other things.
- </p>
- <p>Functions that are normally built in but do not have semantics
- defined by ISO C (such as <code>alloca</code> and <code>ffs</code>) are not built-in
- functions when <samp>-ansi</samp> is used. See <a href="Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins">Other
- built-in functions provided by GCC</a>, for details of the functions
- affected.
- </p>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>-std=</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-std-1"></a>
- <p>Determine the language standard. See <a href="Standards.html#Standards">Language Standards
- Supported by GCC</a>, for details of these standard versions. This option
- is currently only supported when compiling C or C++.
- </p>
- <p>The compiler can accept several base standards, such as ‘<samp>c90</samp>’ or
- ‘<samp>c++98</samp>’, and GNU dialects of those standards, such as
- ‘<samp>gnu90</samp>’ or ‘<samp>gnu++98</samp>’. When a base standard is specified, the
- compiler accepts all programs following that standard plus those
- using GNU extensions that do not contradict it. For example,
- <samp>-std=c90</samp> turns off certain features of GCC that are
- incompatible with ISO C90, such as the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code>
- keywords, but not other GNU extensions that do not have a meaning in
- ISO C90, such as omitting the middle term of a <code>?:</code>
- expression. On the other hand, when a GNU dialect of a standard is
- specified, all features supported by the compiler are enabled, even when
- those features change the meaning of the base standard. As a result, some
- strict-conforming programs may be rejected. The particular standard
- is used by <samp>-Wpedantic</samp> to identify which features are GNU
- extensions given that version of the standard. For example
- <samp>-std=gnu90 -Wpedantic</samp> warns about C++ style ‘<samp>//</samp>’
- comments, while <samp>-std=gnu99 -Wpedantic</samp> does not.

- <dt><code>-fgnu89-inline</code></dt>
- <dd><a name="index-fgnu89_002dinline"></a>
- <p>The option <samp>-fgnu89-inline</samp> tells GCC to use the traditional
- GNU semantics for <code>inline</code> functions when in C99 mode.
- See <a href="Inline.html#Inline">An Inline Function is As Fast As a Macro</a>.
- Using this option is roughly equivalent to adding the
- <code>gnu_inline</code> function attribute to all inline functions
- (see <a href="Function-Attributes.html#Function-Attributes">Function Attributes</a>).
- </p>
- <p>The option <samp>-fno-gnu89-inline</samp> explicitly tells GCC to use the
- C99 semantics for <code>inline</code> when in C99 or gnu99 mode (i.e., it
- specifies the default behavior).
- This option is not supported in <samp>-std=c90</samp> or
- <samp>-std=gnu90</samp> mode.
- </p>
- <p>The preprocessor macros <code>__GNUC_GNU_INLINE__</code> and
- <code>__GNUC_STDC_INLINE__</code> may be used to check which semantics are
- in effect for <code>inline</code> functions. See <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Common-Predefined-Macros.html#Common-Predefined-Macros">Common Predefined

- <p>ISO/IEC TS 18661-3 defines new permissible values for
- <code>FLT_EVAL_METHOD</code> that indicate that operations and constants with
- a semantic type that is an interchange or extended format should be
- evaluated to the precision and range of that type. These new values are
- a superset of those permitted under C99/C11, which does not specify the
- meaning of other positive values of <code>FLT_EVAL_METHOD</code>. As such, code
- conforming to C11 may not have been written expecting the possibility of
- the new values.
- </p>
- <p><samp>-fpermitted-flt-eval-methods</samp> specifies whether the compiler

- the keywords <code>__asm__</code>, <code>__inline__</code> and <code>__typeof__</code>
- instead. <samp>-ansi</samp> implies <samp>-fno-asm</samp>.
- </p>
- <p>In C++, this switch only affects the <code>typeof</code> keyword, since
- <code>asm</code> and <code>inline</code> are standard keywords. You may want to
- use the <samp>-fno-gnu-keywords</samp> flag instead, which has the same
- effect. In C99 mode (<samp>-std=c99</samp> or <samp>-std=gnu99</samp>), this
- switch only affects the <code>asm</code> and <code>typeof</code> keywords, since
- <code>inline</code> is a standard keyword in ISO C99.

- <dd><a name="index-fno_002dbuiltin"></a>

- <a name="index-built_002din-functions"></a>
- <p>Don’t recognize built-in functions that do not begin with
- ‘<samp>__builtin_</samp>’ as prefix. See <a href="Other-Builtins.html#Other-Builtins">Other built-in
- functions provided by GCC</a>, for details of the functions affected,
- including those which are not built-in functions when <samp>-ansi</samp> or
- <samp>-std</samp> options for strict ISO C conformance are used because they
- do not have an ISO standard meaning.
- </p>
- <p>GCC normally generates special code to handle certain built-in functions
- more efficiently; for instance, calls to <code>alloca</code> may become single
- instructions which adjust the stack directly, and calls to <code>memcpy</code>
- may become inline copy loops. The resulting code is often both smaller
- and faster, but since the function calls no longer appear as such, you
- cannot set a breakpoint on those calls, nor can you change the behavior
- of the functions by linking with a different library. In addition,
- when a function is recognized as a built-in function, GCC may use
- information about that function to warn about problems with calls to
- that function, or to generate more efficient code, even if the
- resulting code still contains calls to that function. For example,
- warnings are given with <samp>-Wformat</samp> for bad calls to
- <code>printf</code> when <code>printf</code> is built in and <code>strlen</code> is
- known not to modify global memory.
- </p>
- <p>With the <samp>-fno-builtin-<var>function</var></samp> option
- only the built-in function <var>function</var> is
- disabled. <var>function</var> must not begin with ‘<samp>__builtin_</samp>’. If a
- function is named that is not built-in in this version of GCC, this
- option is ignored. There is no corresponding
- <samp>-fbuiltin-<var>function</var></samp> option; if you wish to enable
- built-in functions selectively when using <samp>-fno-builtin</samp> or
- <samp>-ffreestanding</samp>, you may define macros such as:
- </p>
- <div class="smallexample">
- <pre class="smallexample">#define abs(n) __builtin_abs ((n))
- #define strcpy(d, s) __builtin_strcpy ((d), (s))

- <p>Let the type <code>char</code> be unsigned, like <code>unsigned char</code>.

- <p>Each kind of machine has a default for what <code>char</code> should
- be. It is either like <code>unsigned char</code> by default or like
- <code>signed char</code> by default.
- </p>
- <p>Ideally, a portable program should always use <code>signed char</code> or
- <code>unsigned char</code> when it depends on the signedness of an object.
- But many programs have been written to use plain <code>char</code> and
- expect it to be signed, or expect it to be unsigned, depending on the
- machines they were written for. This option, and its inverse, let you
- make such a program work with the opposite default.
- </p>
- <p>The type <code>char</code> is always a distinct type from each of
- <code>signed char</code> or <code>unsigned char</code>, even though its behavior
- is always just like one of those two.

- <p>Let the type <code>char</code> be signed, like <code>signed char</code>.

- <p>Note that this is equivalent to <samp>-fno-unsigned-char</samp>, which is

- <p>These options control whether a bit-field is signed or unsigned, when the
- declaration does not use either <code>signed</code> or <code>unsigned</code>. By
- default, such a bit-field is signed, because this is consistent: the
- basic integer types such as <code>int</code> are signed types.

- the target (the default). This option is not supported for C++.
- </p>
- <p><strong>Warning:</strong> the <samp>-fsso-struct</samp> switch causes GCC to generate
- code that is not binary compatible with code generated without it if the
- specified endianness is not the native endianness of the target.
