Option Groups

Compiler options are grouped by:

HOST
LANGUAGE
OPTIMIZATIONS
CODE GENERATION
OUTPUT
INPUT
MESSAGES
VARIOUS
STARTUP

A special group is the STARTUP group: The options in this group cannot be specified interactively; they can only be specified on the command line to start the tool.

Refer to the following table:

Table 1. Compiler Option Groups
Group	Description
`HOST`	Lists options related to the host
`LANGUAGE`	Lists options related to the programming language (e.g., ANSI-C)
`OPTIMIZATIONS`	Lists optimization options
`OUTPUT`	Lists output file generation options (types of file generated)
`INPUT`	Lists options related to the input file
`CODE GENERATION`	Lists options related to code generation (memory models, float format, etc.)
`MESSAGES`	Lists options controlling error message generation
`VARIOUS`	Lists various options
`STARTUP`	Options specified only on tool startup

The group corresponds to the property sheets of the graphical option settings.

Note: Not all command line options are accessible through the property sheets as they have a special graphical setting (e.g., the option to set the type sizes).
