 - <h2 class="chapter">2 Command-Line Options</h2>
 - 
 - <a name="index-options_002c-all-versions-of-assembler"></a>
 - <p>This chapter describes command-line options available in <em>all</em>
 - versions of the <small>GNU</small> assembler; see <a href="Machine-Dependencies.html#Machine-Dependencies">Machine Dependencies</a>,
 - for options specific
 - to particular machine architectures.
 - </p>
 - 
 - <p>If you are invoking <code>as</code> via the <small>GNU</small> C compiler,
 - you can use the ‘<samp>-Wa</samp>’ option to pass arguments through to the assembler.
 - The assembler arguments must be separated from each other (and the ‘<samp>-Wa</samp>’)
 - by commas.  For example:
 - </p>
 - <div class="smallexample">
 - <pre class="smallexample">gcc -c -g -O -Wa,-alh,-L file.c
 - </pre></div>
 - 
 - <p>This passes two options to the assembler: ‘<samp>-alh</samp>’ (emit a listing to
 - standard output with high-level and assembly source) and ‘<samp>-L</samp>’ (retain
 - local symbols in the symbol table).
 - </p>
 - <p>Usually you do not need to use this ‘<samp>-Wa</samp>’ mechanism, since many compiler
 - command-line options are automatically passed to the assembler by the compiler.
 - (You can call the <small>GNU</small> compiler driver with the ‘<samp>-v</samp>’ option to see
 - precisely what options it passes to each compilation pass, including the
 - assembler.)
