in that case. The option's behaviour mirrors GCC, the helpers are implemented
both in compiler-rt and libgcc.
-- -fpch-codegen and -fpch-debuginfo generate shared code and/or debuginfo
- for contents of a precompiled header in a separate object file. This object
- file needs to be linked in, but its contents do not need to be generated
- for other objects using the precompiled header. This should usually save
- compile time. If not using clang-cl, the separate object file needs to
- be created explicitly from the precompiled header.
- Example of use:
-
- .. code-block:: console
-
- $ clang++ -x c++-header header.h -o header.pch -fpch-codegen -fpch-debuginfo
- $ clang++ -c header.pch -o shared.o
- $ clang++ -c source.cpp -o source.o -include-pch header.pch
- $ clang++ -o binary source.o shared.o
-
- - Using -fpch-instantiate-templates when generating the precompiled header
- usually increases the amount of code/debuginfo that can be shared.
- - In some cases, especially when building with optimizations enabled, using
- -fpch-codegen may generate so much code in the shared object that compiling
- it may be a net loss in build time.
- - Since headers may bring in private symbols of other libraries, it may be
- sometimes necessary to discard unused symbols (such as by adding
- -Wl,--gc-sections on ELF platforms to the linking command, and possibly
- adding -fdata-sections -ffunction-sections to the command generating
- the shared object).
- New option ``-fbinutils-version=`` specifies the targeted binutils version.
For example, ``-fbinutils-version=2.35`` means compatibility with GNU as/ld
before 2.35 is not needed: new features can be used and there is no need to
