Cross Reference of Compiler Options

This section provides cross-reference tables of compiler options used on Windows* and Linux* operating systems.

It shows the option name, its equivalent (if any) on the other operating system, a short description of the option, and the default value for the option. This information previously appeared in the Compiler Options Quick Reference Guide.

Some compiler options are only available on certain systems, as indicated by these labels:

Label

Meaning

i32

The option is available on IA-32-based systems

i32em

The option is available on IA-32-based systems with IntelŪ Extended Memory 64 Technology (IntelŪ EM64T)

i64

The option is available on ItaniumŪ-based systems

If no label appears, the option is available on all supported systems.

If "only" appears in the label, the option is only available on the identified system.

For more details on the options, refer to the Alphabetical Compiler Options section.

For information on conventions used in this table, see Notation Conventions.
