Version A.11.01.00 of HP C/HP-UX includes support for the following new options:

  • +objdebug leaves debugging information in the object files rather than copying it to the executable file.

    NOTE: You must install the latest linker patch (PHSS_16841) or its successor for this option to work. Without this patch, the option is ignored.

  • +W suppresses warnings.

  • +We changes warnings to errors.

  • +Ww enables warnings that would otherwise not be enabled.

  • +Olevel=name lowers the optimization level for the named functions.

  • +Oreusedir=directory reduces link time by saving and reusing object files in directory rather than recompiling them from intermediate object files.

  • +O[no]promote_indirect_calls promotes indirect calls to direct calls to improve performance.

This chapter summarizes these new options and provides additional information on the pragmas HP_NO_RELOCATION, HP_LONG_RETURN, and HP_DEFINED_EXTERNAL which were introduced in an earlier version of HP C/HP-UX.
