bcc32.exe

Author: (Norbert) Suedland, Aalen, Germany

The very compiler, here the same for 32 bit architectures, which also does an own call of the preprocessor, thus even macro abbreviations can conveniently be translated from another language into traditional C and backwards.

The possible control parameters are ascertained by a call (without arguments) of:

bcc32.exe

Borland C++ 5.2 for 32 bit Windows Copyright © 1993, 1997 Borland International
Syntax is: bcc32 [ options ] file[s]		* = default; -x- = turn switch x off

-3	*	commands of the 80386		-4		commands of the 80486
-Ax		disable extensions		-B		compile via assember use
-C		allow nested comments		-Dxxx		define macro abbreviation
-Exxx		alternative assembler name		-Hxxx		use pre-compiled header files
-Ixxx		directory of include files		-K		default character is unsigned
-Lxxx		libraries directory		-M		generate link map
-N		check stack overflow		-Ox		optimizations
-P		force C++ compile		-R		produce internet browser information
-RT	*	generate Run-time Type Information (RTTI)		-S		produce assemby output
-Txxx		set assembler option		-Uxxx		undefine macro abbreviation
-Vx		virtual table control		-X		suppress autodependency output
-aN		align on N bytes		-b	*	treat enumerations as integers
-c		compile only		-d		merge duplicate strings
-exxx		executable file name		-fxx		floating point options
-gN		stop after N warnings		-iN		maximum identifier length
-jN		stop after N errors		-k	*	standard stack frame
-lx		set option for linker		-nxxx		output file directory
-oxxx		object file name		-p		Pascal calls
-tWxxx		generate Windows application		-u	*	underscores on externs
-v		source level debugging		-wxxx		warning control
-xxxx		exception handling		-y		produce line number information
-zxxx		set segment names

Whether in case of a translation of this programme into other languages also all option characters are to be translated, can be discussed.

The following call compiles a C programme without linker:

bcc32.exe -w -v -C -K -ID:\Borland\BC5\Include -c wmain.c
