Building Projects and Targets

Chapter 2 71

For project build projects, you can override the default compiler ﬂags

sent to the compiler for a compile mode by changing the build

conﬁguration:

1. To change the compile mode settings for all targets using a build

conﬁguration, choose "Builder: Manage Build Configurations…".

To change the compile mode settings for a single target, select the

target, then choose "Target: Modify Properties…". In the "Modify

Target Properties" dialog box, select Customize Build Configuration….

2. Expand the "Specify Include and Compile Options" section of the

dialog box.

3. Select the compiler in the "Set Information for Compiler"

drop-down list. This setting controls what compiler is affected when

you enter information such as additional compiler ﬂags, deﬁnes,

undeﬁnes, and compile modes.

4. Select Set Compile Modes… to display the "Set Compile Modes" dialog

box.

5. In the "Set Compile Modes" dialog box, enter the compiler ﬂags. For

example, to override the "-g0" compile mode setting for debugging

aC++ code, enter another value, such as "-g" in the "DEBUG Compiler

Flags" input box.

6. Save your changes and close the dialog boxes.

Table 2-5 Compile Mode Settings

■ Optimized Select to tell the compiler to optimize the

and minimize space usage); "-O" is the
