HP aC++/HP C A.06.25 Programmer's Guide

The -L option must precede any -lname option entry on the command line; otherwise

-L is ignored. This option is passed directly to the linker.

Example:

The following example compiles and links prog.C and directs the linker to search the

directories and /project/libs for any libraries that prog.C uses (in this case,

mylib1 and mylib2).

aCC -L/project/libs prog.C -lmylib1 -lmylib2

-minshared

The -minshared option indicates that the result of the current compilation is going

into an executable file that will make minimal use of shared libraries. This option is

equivalent to -exec -Bprotected.

+nostl

By eliminating references to the standard header files and libraries bundled with HP

aC++, the +nostl option allows experienced users full control over the header files

and libraries used in compilation and linking of their applications, without potential

complications that arise in mixing different libraries.

NOTE: Complete understanding of the linking process and the behavior of the actual

(third party) libraries linked with the application is essential to avoid link or runtime

failures.

For more information on shared libraries, see “Creating and Using Libraries” (page 230).

+Onolibcalls=

+Onolibcalls=function1,function2,...

This option allows you to turn off libcall optimizations (inlining or replacement) for

calls to the listed functions. This option overrides system header files.

Linker Options

You can specify the following linker options on the compiler command line:

-e epsym

Using the -e epsym option sets the default entry point address for the output file to

be the same as the symbol epsym. This option only applies to executable files. It does

not work if epsym=xec.
