21 When configuring libstdc++, you'll have to configure the entire
22 <emphasis>gccsrcdir</emphasis> directory. Consider using the
23 toplevel gcc configuration option
24 <literal>--enable-languages=c++</literal>, which saves time by only
25 building the C++ toolchain.
26 </para>

28 <para>
29 Here are all of the configure options specific to libstdc++. Keep
30 in mind that
31 <!-- This SECnn should be the "Choosing Package Options" section. -->
32 <ulink url="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_no de/autoconf_131.html#SEC131">they
33 all have opposite forms as well</ulink> (enable/disable and
34 with/without). The defaults are for the <emphasis>current
35 development sources</emphasis>, which may be different than those
36 for released versions.
37 </para>
38 <para>The canonical way to find out the configure options that are
39 available for a given set of libstdc++ sources is to go to the
40 source directory and then type:<command>./configure --help</command>.

44 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-multilib</code>[default]</term>
45 <listitem><para>This is part of the generic multilib support for building cross
46 compilers. As such, targets like &quot;powerpc-elf&quot; will have
47 libstdc++ built many different ways: &quot;-msoft-float&quot;
48 and not, etc. A different libstdc++ will be built for each of
49 the different multilib versions. This option is on by default.

53 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-sjlj-exceptions</code></term>
54 <listitem><para>Forces old, set-jump/long-jump exception handling model. If
55 at all possible, the new, frame unwinding exception handling routines
56 should be used instead, as they significantly reduce both
57 runtime memory usage and executable size. This option can
58 change the library ABI.

64 compiler-specific subdirectory (i.e.,
65 <code>${libdir}/gcc-lib/${target_alias}/${gcc_version}</code>)
66 instead of <code>${libdir}</code>. This option is useful if you
67 intend to use several versions of gcc in parallel. In addition,
68 libstdc++'s include files will be installed in
69 <code>${libdir}/gcc-lib/${target_alias}/${gcc_version}/include/g++</code >,

113 <para>As part of the configuration process, the "C" library is
114 probed both for sufficient vintage, and installed locale
115 data. If either of these elements are not present, the C++

160
161 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-libstdcxx-debug</code></term>
162 <listitem><para>Build separate debug libraries in addition to what is normally built.
163 By default, the debug libraries are compiled with
164 <code> CXXFLAGS='-g3 -O0 -fno-inline'</code>
165 , are installed in <code>${libdir}/debug</code>, and have the
166 same names and versioning information as the non-debug
167 libraries. This option is off by default.
168 </para>
169 <para>Note this make command, executed in
170 the build directory, will do much the same thing, without the
171 configuration difference and without building everything twice:
172 <code>make CXXFLAGS='-g3 -O0 -fno-inline' all</code>
173 </para>
174 </listitem></varlistentry>
175
176 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-libstdcxx-debug-flags=FLAGS</code></term>
177
178 <listitem><para>This option is only valid when <code> --enable-debug </code>
179 is also specified, and applies to the debug builds only. With
180 this option, you can pass a specific string of flags to the
181 compiler to use when building the debug versions of libstdc++.
182 FLAGS is a quoted string of options, like
183 </para>
184 <programlisting>
185 --enable-libstdcxx-debug-flags='-g3 -O1 -fno-inline'</programlisting>
186 </listitem></varlistentry>
187
188 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-cxx-flags=FLAGS</code></term>
189 <listitem><para>With this option, you can pass a string of -f (functionality)
190 flags to the compiler to use when building libstdc++. This
191 option can change the library ABI. FLAGS is a quoted string of
192 options, like
193 </para>
194 <programlisting>
195 --enable-cxx-flags='-fvtable-gc -fomit-frame-pointer -ansi'</programlisting>
196 <para>
197 Note that the flags don't necessarily have to all be -f flags,
198 as shown, but usually those are the ones that will make sense
199 for experimentation and configure-time overriding.
200 </para>
201 <para>The advantage of --enable-cxx-flags over setting CXXFLAGS in
202 the 'make' environment is that, if files are automatically
203 rebuilt, the same flags will be used when compiling those files
204 as well, so that everything matches.
205 </para>
206 <para>Fun flags to try might include combinations of
207 </para>
208 <programlisting>
209 -fstrict-aliasing
210 -fno-exceptions
211 -ffunction-sections
212 -fvtable-gc</programlisting>

214 mailing list) if you discover more!

218 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-c99</code></term>
219 <listitem><para>The &quot;long long&quot; type was introduced in C99, along
220 with many other functions for wide characters, and math
221 classification macros, etc. If enabled, all C99 functions not
222 specified by the C++ standard will be put into <code>namespace
223 __gnu_cxx</code>, and then all these names will
224 be injected into namespace std, so that C99 functions can be
225 used &quot;as if&quot; they were in the C++ standard (as they
226 will eventually be in some future revision of the standard,
227 without a doubt). By default, C99 support is on, assuming the
228 configure probes find all the necessary functions and bits
229 necessary. This option can change the library ABI.

232
233 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-wchar_t</code>[default]</term>
234 <listitem><para>Template specializations for the &quot;wchar_t&quot; type are
235 required for wide character conversion support. Disabling
236 wide character specializations may be expedient for initial
237 porting efforts, but builds only a subset of what is required by
238 ISO, and is not recommended. By default, this option is on.
239 This option can change the library ABI.

242
243 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-long-long </code></term>
244 <listitem><para>The &quot;long long&quot; type was introduced in C99. It is
245 provided as a GNU extension to C++98 in g++. This flag builds
246 support for &quot;long long&quot; into the library (specialized
247 templates and the like for iostreams). This option is on by default:
248 if enabled, users will have to either use the new-style &quot;C&quot;
249 headers by default (i.e., &lt;cmath&gt; not &lt;math.h&gt;)
250 or add appropriate compile-time flags to all compile lines to
251 allow &quot;C&quot; visibility of this feature (on GNU/Linux,
252 the flag is -D_ISOC99_SOURCE, which is added automatically via
253 CPLUSPLUS_CPP_SPEC's addition of _GNU_SOURCE).
254 This option can change the library ABI.

257
258 <varlistentry><term><code>--enable-fully-dynamic-string</code></term>
259 <listitem><para>This option enables a special version of basic_string avoiding
260 the optimization that allocates empty objects in static memory.
261 Mostly useful together with shared memory allocators, see PR
262 libstdc++/16612 for details.

268 library templates, in the form of specialized templates,
269 <link linkend="manual.diagnostics.concept_checking">described here</link >. They
270 can help users discover when they break the rules of the STL, before

276
277 <listitem><para>In 3.1 and later, tries to turn on symbol versioning in the
278 shared library (if a shared library has been
279 requested). Values for 'style' that are currently supported
280 are 'gnu', 'gnu-versioned-namespace', 'darwin', and
281 'darwin-export'. Both gnu- options require that a recent
282 version of the GNU linker be in use. Both darwin options are
283 equivalent. With no style given, the configure script will try
284 to guess correct defaults for the host system, probe to see if
285 additional requirements are necessary and present for
286 activation, and if so, will turn symbol versioning on. This
287 option can change the library ABI.

294 If enabled (as by default), and the compiler seems capable of
295 passing the simple sanity checks thrown at it, adjusts items
296 in namespace std, namespace std::tr1, and namespace __gnu_cxx
297 so that -fvisibility options work.

304 C++ includes. If enabled (as by default), and the compiler
305 seems capable of passing the simple sanity checks thrown at
306 it, try to build stdc++.h.gch as part of the make process.
307 In addition, this generated file is used later on (by appending <code>

334 implementation of [thread.thread.this] of the current C++0x draft.
335 The choice OPTION=yes checks for the availability of the facilities
336 in libc and libposix4. In case of need the latter is also linked
337 to libstdc++ as part of the build process. OPTION=rt also searches
338 (and, in case, links) librt. Note that the latter is not always
339 desirable because, in glibc, for example, in turn it triggers the
340 linking of libpthread too, which activates locking, a large overhead
341 for single-thread programs. OPTION=no skips the tests completely.
342 The default is OPTION=no.
