Borland c++ compiler

C++Builder includes BCC32.EXE, the Borland C++ command-line compiler.

Command-line compiler syntax

The syntax for BCC32 is:

BCC32 [option [option...]] filename [filename...]

Where:

Items enclosed in brackets are optional.
option refers to the command-line options.
filename refers to the source-code files you want to compile.

To see a list of the commonly used compiler options, type BCC32 at the command line (without any options or file names), then press ENTER. This list displays the options that are enabled by default.

The command-line compiler name, each option, and the file names must all be separated by at least one space. Precede each option by either a hyphen (-) or a forward slash (/). For example:

BCC32 -Ic:codehfiles

Options and file names entered on the command line override settings in configuration files.

You can use BCC32 to send .OBJ files to ILINK32 or .ASM files to TASM32 (if you have TASM32 installed on your machine).

Default settings

BCC32.EXE has specific options that are on by default. To turn off a default option or to override options in a configuration file, follow the option with a minus (-) sign.

Files with the .CPP extension compile as C++ files. Files with a .C extension, with no extension, or with extensions other than .CPP, .OBJ, .LIB, or .ASM compile as C files.

The compiler tries to link with a module-definition file with the same name as the executable.
