Options added to the compiler command line

The default value expands expands to appropriate
Microsoft Visual C++ command-line options
when the &cv-link-PDB; construction variable is set.
</para>
<para>
The Visual C++ compiler option that SCons uses by default
to generate PDB information is <option>/Z7</option>.
This works correctly with parallel (<option>-j</option>) builds
because it embeds the debug information in the intermediate object files,
as opposed to sharing a single PDB file between multiple object files.
This is also the only way to get debug information
embedded into a static library.
Using the <option>/Zi</option> instead may yield improved
link-time performance,
although parallel builds will no longer work.
</para>
<para>
You can generate PDB files with the <option>/Zi</option>
switch by overriding the default &cv-link-CCPDBFLAGS; variable as follows:
</para>
<example_commands>
env['CCPDBFLAGS'] = ['${(PDB and "/Zi /Fd%s" % File(PDB)) or ""}']
</example_commands>
<para>
An alternative would be to use the <option>/Zi</option>
to put the debugging information in a separate <filename>.pdb</filename>
file for each object file by overriding
the &cv-link-CCPDBFLAGS; variable as follows:
</para>
<example_commands>
env['CCPDBFLAGS'] = '/Zi /Fd${TARGET}.pdb'

<listitem><para>
An automatically-generated &consvar;
containing the C preprocessor command-line options
for specifying directories to be searched for include files.
The value of &cv-_CPPINCFLAGS; is created
by respectively prepending and appending
&cv-link-INCPREFIX; and &cv-link-INCSUFFIX;
to each directory in &cv-link-CPPPATH;.
</para>

<varlistentry id="cv-CPPPATH">
<term>
<envar>CPPPATH</envar>
</term>
<listitem><para>
The list of directories that the C preprocessor will search for include
directories. The C/C++ implicit dependency scanner will search these
directories for include files.
In general it's not advised to put include directory directives
directly into &cv-link-CCFLAGS; or &cv-link-CXXFLAGS;
as the result will be non-portable
and the directories will not be searched by the dependency scanner.
&cv-CPPPATH; should be a list of path strings,
or a single string, not a pathname list joined by
Python's <systemitem>os.sep</systemitem>.
</para>
<para>
Note:
directory names in &cv-CPPPATH;
will be looked-up relative to the directory of the SConscript file
when they are used in a command.
To force &scons;
to look-up a directory relative to the root of the source tree use
the <literal>#</literal> prefix:
</para>
<example_commands>
env = Environment(CPPPATH='#/include')
</example_commands>
<para>
The directory look-up can also be forced using the
&f-link-Dir;
function:
</para>
<example_commands>
include = Dir('include')
env = Environment(CPPPATH=include)
</example_commands>
<para>
The directory list will be added to command lines
through the automatically-generated
&cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS; &consvar;,
which is constructed by
respectively prepending and appending the values of the
&cv-link-INCPREFIX; and &cv-link-INCSUFFIX; &consvars;
to each directory in &cv-link-CPPPATH;.
Any command lines you define that need
the &cv-CPPPATH; directory list should
include &cv-link-_CPPINCFLAGS;:

The <firstterm>execution environment</firstterm> -
a dictionary of environment variables
used when &SCons; invokes external commands

When &cv-ENV; is passed to a command,
all list values are assumed to be path lists and
are joined using the search path separator.
Any other non-string values are coerced to a string.

<para>
Note that by default
&SCons;
does
<emphasis>not</emphasis>
propagate the environment in effect when you execute
&scons; (the "shell environment")
to the execution environment.
This is so that builds will be guaranteed
repeatable regardless of the environment
variables set at the time
&scons;
is invoked.
If you want to propagate a
shell environment variable
to the commands executed
to build target files,
you must do so explicitly.
A common example is
the system &PATH;
environment variable,
so that
&scons;
will find utilities the same way
as the invoking shell (or other process):
</para>
<example_commands>
import os
env = Environment(ENV={'PATH': os.environ['PATH']})
</example_commands>

Although it is usually not recommended,

<listitem><para>
Controls whether or not SCons will
add implicit dependencies for the commands
executed to build targets.
</para>
<para>
By default, SCons will add
to each target
an implicit dependency on the command
represented by the first argument of any
command line it executes (which is typically
the command itself). By setting such
a dependency, &SCons; can determine that
a target should be rebuilt if the command changes,
such as when a compiler is upgraded to a new version.
The specific file for the dependency is
found by searching the
<varname>PATH</varname>
variable in the
<varname>ENV</varname> dictionary
in the &consenv; used to execute the command.
The default is the same as
setting the &consvar;
&cv-IMPLICIT_COMMAND_DEPENDENCIES;
to a True-like value (<quote>true</quote>,
<quote>yes</quote>,
or <quote>1</quote> - but not a number
greater than one, as that has a different meaning).
</para>
<para>
Action strings can be segmented by the
use of an AND operator, <literal>&amp;&amp;</literal>.
In a segemented string, each segment is a separate
<quote>command line</quote>, these are run
sequentially until one fails or the entire
sequence has been executed. If an
action string is segmented, then the selected
behavior of &cv-IMPLICIT_COMMAND_DEPENDENCIES;
is applied to each segment.

is set to a False-like value
(<quote>none</quote>,
<quote>false</quote>,
<quote>no</quote>,
<quote>0</quote>,

then the implicit dependency will
not be added to the targets

</para>

is set to <quote>2</quote> or higher,
then that number of arguments in the command line

If any are present, they will be added as
implicit dependencies to the targets built
with that &consenv;.
The first argument in the command line will be
searched for using the <varname>PATH</varname>

The other arguments will only be found if they

Specifies the Java version being used by the &b-link-Java;

This is sometimes necessary because
Java 1.5 changed the file names that are created
for nested anonymous inner classes,
which can cause a mismatch with the files
that &SCons; expects will be generated by the &javac; compiler.
Setting &cv-JAVAVERSION; to a version greater than
<literal>1.4</literal> makes &SCons; realize that a build
with such a compiler is actually up to date.
The default is <literal>1.4</literal>.
</para>
<para>
While this is <emphasis>not</emphasis> primarily intended for
selecting one version of the Java compiler vs. another,
it does have that effect on the Windows platform. A
more precise approach is to set &cv-link-JAVAC; (and related
&consvars; for related utilities) to the path to the specific
Java compiler you want, if that is not the default compiler.
On non-Windows platforms, the
<systemitem>alternatives</systemitem> system may provide a
way to adjust the default Java compiler without
having to specify explicit paths.

<listitem><para>
A list of all legal prefixes for library file names.

SCons will look for files with these prefixes,
the base library name,

<listitem><para>
A list of one or more libraries
that will be added to the link line
for linking with any executable program, shared library, or loadable module
created by the &consenv; or override.
</para>
<para>
String-valued library names should include
only the library base names,
without prefixes such as <filename>lib</filename>
or suffixes such as <filename>.so</filename> or <filename>.dll</filename>.
The library list will be added to command lines
through the automatically-generated
&cv-_LIBFLAGS; &consvar;
which is constructed by
respectively prepending and appending the values of the
&cv-LIBLINKPREFIX; and &cv-LIBLINKSUFFIX; &consvars;
to each library name in &cv-LIBS;.
Library name strings should not include a
path component, instead the compiler will be
directed to look for libraries in the paths
specified by &cv-link-LIBPATH;.
</para>
<para>
Any command lines you define that need
the &cv-LIBS; library list should
include &cv-_LIBFLAGS;:
</para>
<example_commands>
env = Environment(LINKCOM="my_linker $_LIBDIRFLAGS $_LIBFLAGS -o $TARGET $SOURCE")
</example_commands>
<para>
If you add a
<classname>File</classname>
object to the
&cv-LIBS;
list, the name of that file will be added to
&cv-_LIBFLAGS;,
and thus to the link line, as-is, without
&cv-LIBLINKPREFIX;
or
&cv-LIBLINKSUFFIX;.
For example:
</para>
<example_commands>
env.Append(LIBS=File('/tmp/mylib.so'))

In all cases, scons will add dependencies from the executable program to
all the libraries in this list.

<para>
On POSIX systems (those using the &t-link-link; tool),
you should normally not change this value as it defaults
to a "smart" linker tool which selects a compiler
driver matching the type of source files in use.
So for example, if you set &cv-link-CXX; to a specific

the smartlink function will automatically select the same compiler
for linking.

<listitem><para>
The Microsoft Visual C++ PDB file that will store debugging information for
object files, shared libraries, and programs. This variable is ignored by
tools other than Microsoft Visual C++.
When this variable is
defined SCons will add options to the compiler and linker command line to
cause them to generate external debugging information, and will also set up the
dependencies for the PDB file.
Example:
</para>
<example_commands>
env['PDB'] = 'hello.pdb'
</example_commands>
<para>
The Visual C++ compiler switch that SCons uses by default
to generate PDB information is <option>/Z7</option>.
This works correctly with parallel (<option>-j</option>) builds
because it embeds the debug information in the intermediate object files,
as opposed to sharing a single PDB file between multiple object files.
This is also the only way to get debug information
embedded into a static library.
Using the <option>/Zi</option> instead may yield improved
link-time performance,
although parallel builds will no longer work.
You can generate PDB files with the <option>/Zi</option>
switch by overriding the default &cv-link-CCPDBFLAGS; variable;
see the entry for that variable for specific examples.

A Python function used to print the command lines as they are executed
(assuming command printing is not disabled by the
<option>-q</option>
or
<option>-s</option>
options or their equivalents).
The function must accept four arguments:
<varname>s</varname>,
<varname>target</varname>,
<varname>source</varname> and
<varname>env</varname>.
<varname>s</varname>
is a string showing the command being executed,
<varname>target</varname>,
is the target being built (file node, list, or string name(s)),
<varname>source</varname>,
is the source(s) used (file node, list, or string name(s)),
and <varname>env</varname>
is the environment being used.
</para>
<para>
The function must do the printing itself.
The default implementation,
used if this variable is not set or is <constant>None</constant>,
is to just print the string, as in:
</para>
<example_commands>
def print_cmd_line(s, target, source, env):
sys.stdout.write(s + "\n")
</example_commands>
<para>
Here is an example of a more interesting function:
</para>
<example_commands>
def print_cmd_line(s, target, source, env):
sys.stdout.write(
"Building %s -&gt; %s...\n"
% (
' and '.join([str(x) for x in source]),
' and '.join([str(x) for x in target]),
)
)
env = Environment(PRINT_CMD_LINE_FUNC=print_cmd_line)
env.Program('foo', ['foo.c', 'bar.c'])
</example_commands>
<para>
This prints:
</para>
<screen>
...
scons: Building targets ...
Building bar.c -&gt; bar.o...
Building foo.c -&gt; foo.o...
Building foo.o and bar.o -&gt; foo...
scons: done building targets.

&cv-link-HOST_ARCH; and &cv-TARGET_ARCH;.
If a value is not specified,
will be set to the same value as &cv-link-HOST_ARCH;.
Changing the value after the environment is initialized
will not cause the tool to be reinitialized.
Compiled objects will be in the target architecture if
the compilation system supports generating for that target.
The latest compiler which can fulfill the requirement will
be selected, unless a different version is directed by the
value of the &cv-link-MSVC_VERSION; &consvar;.
</para>
<para>
On the win32/msvc combination, valid target arch values are
<literal>x86</literal>,
<literal>arm</literal>,
<literal>i386</literal>
for 32-bit targets and
<literal>amd64</literal>,
<literal>arm64</literal>,
<literal>x86_64</literal>
and <literal>ia64</literal> (Itanium)
for 64-bit targets.
For example, if you want to compile 64-bit binaries, you would set
<literal>TARGET_ARCH='x86_64'</literal> when creating the &consenv;.
Note that not all target architectures are
supported for all Visual Studio / MSVC versions.

<listitem><para>
A callable object used to handle overly long command line strings,
since operations which call out to a shell will fail
if the line is longer than the shell can accept.
This tends to particularly impact linking.
The tempfile object stores the command line in a temporary
file in the appropriate format, and returns
an alternate command line so the invoked tool will make
use of the contents of the temporary file.
If you need to replace the default tempfile object,
the callable should take into account the settings of
&cv-link-MAXLINELENGTH;,
&cv-link-TEMPFILEPREFIX;,
&cv-link-TEMPFILESUFFIX;,
&cv-link-TEMPFILEARGJOIN;,
&cv-link-TEMPFILEDIR;

The default argument escape function is

If you need to apply extra operations on a command argument
(to fix Windows slashes, normalize paths, etc.)
before writing to the temporary file,
you can set the &cv-TEMPFILEARGESCFUNC; variable to a custom function.
Such a function takes a single string argument and returns
a new string with any modifications applied.
Example:
</para>
<example_commands>
import sys
import re
from SCons.Subst import quote_spaces
WINPATHSEP_RE = re.compile(r"\\([^\"'\\]|$)")
def tempfile_arg_esc_func(arg):
arg = quote_spaces(arg)
if sys.platform != "win32":
return arg
# GCC requires double Windows slashes, let's use UNIX separator
