OCC(1) Silicon Graphics OCC(1)NAMEOCC - old (cfront-based) C++ compiler
SYNOPSISOCC [ option ] ... file ...
CC -use_cfront [ option ] ... file ...
DESCRIPTIONOCC (capital OCC) invokes the cfront translator to translate C++ source
code to C source code. Its normal operation is then to invoke the C
compiler cc(1) to generate an object file.
CC will invoke OCC if given the -use_cfront option. In the subsequent
discussion below, CC refers to OCC.
CC takes arguments ending in .C, .c, .c++, .cc, or .cxx to be C++ source
programs. Files with the suffixes .a , .o, and .s, are also accepted by
the CC command and passed to cc(1).
CC defines the same symbols for preprocessing as cc, except that
__cplusplus and _LANGUAGE_C_PLUS_PLUS are defined, and LANGUAGE_C and
_LANGUAGE_C are not.
By default, CC invokes the ANSI preprocessor and generates ANSI C
intermediate code, just as if -xansi were specified on the command line.
Note that when the ANSI preprocessor is used, the symbol __ANSI_CPP is
always defined. Normally, programmers will not care about the
intermediate code, but they may want to do K&R-style preprocessing. The
-cckr command line option makes this possible.
CC interprets the following options (see ld(1) for load-time options):
-c Produce binaries only, suppressing the link phase.
-cckr
Do K&R preprocessing and generate K&R C.
-xansi
Do ANSI preprocessing and generate ANSI C. This is the default. If
more than one of -cckr and -xansi is specified, the one last on the
command line prevails.
-E Run only the preprocessor on the C++ source files and send the
result to standard output.
-F Run only the preprocessor and C++-to-C translator on the C++
source files. The output is C source code suitable as a .c file
for cc(1).

+I Save the intermediate C source file with suffix ..c in the
current directory.
+L Output line numbers to intermediate file in #line format.
-.suffix
Instead of using standard output for the -E or -F options, place
the output from each C++ source file on a file with the
corresponding .suffix.
-MDupdate filename
While compiling, update filename to contain header, library, and
runtime make(1) dependencies for CC's output file.
-all Link in all of the objects from the archive following this flag.
Used in conjunction with the -shared flag when creating a shared
object.
+d Suppress inline expansion of functions declared as inline.
-dollar Allow the dollar sign ($) as a character in C++ identifiers.
-n Print commands generated by CC but do not execute them.
-nofilt Normally, CC pipes the error output from the link phase through
the filter /usr/lib/c++/c++filt so that the names of undefined
symbols will be translated from their internal, encoded
("mangled") form to a more easily readable form: for example,
foo__Fii will be translated to foo(int, int). -nofilt suppresses
this filtering operation.
-o output
Name the final output file output.
+p Disallow all anachronistic constructs. Ordinarily the translator
warns about anachronistic constructs. Under +p (for "pure"), the
translator will not compile code containing anachronistic
constructs, such as "assignment to this." See the 3.0 C++
Product Reference Manual for a list of anachronisms.
-shared Create a dynamic shared object (DSO) as the final output file.
+v print commands invoked by CC as they are executed (verbose
output). To print commands invoked by cc , use the -v option.
+w Warn about all questionable constructs. Without the +w option,
the translator issues warnings only about constructs that are
almost certainly problems.
+a[01] The translator can generate either ANSI C style or "Classic C"
(also known as K&R C) style declarations. The +a option
specifies which style of declarations to produce. +a0 causes the

OCC(1) Silicon Graphics OCC(1)
translator to produce "Classic C" style declarations. +a1, the
default, causes the translator to produce ANSI C style
declarations.
The template instantiation system adds several options to CC.
-pta Instantiate a whole template class rather than only those
members that are needed.
-ptesuffix
Use suffix as the standard source suffix instead of .c. Only
the standard suffixes .C, .c++, .cc, and .cxx are allowed.
-ptn Change the default instantiation behavior for one-file programs
to that of larger programs, where instantiation is broken out
separately and the repository updated. One-file programs
normally have instantiation optimized so that instantiation is
done into the application object itself.
-ptrpathname
Specify a repository, with ./ptrepository the default. If
several repositories are given, only the first is writable, and
the default repository is ignored unless explicitly named.
-pts Split instantiations into separate object files, with one
function per object (including overloaded functions), and all
class static data and virtual functions grouped into a single
object.
-ptv Turn on verbose or verify mode, which displays each phase of
instantiation as it occurs, together with the elapsed time in
seconds that phase took to complete. Use of this option is
recommended if you are new to templates. With verbose mode,
the reason why an instantiation is done and the exact CC
command used are displayed.
In release 3.0, -pts and -pta cannot be used together, that is, -pts can
only be used to split up needed functions rather than all functions.
The template instantiation mechanism uses the system utilities sort and
grep. It uses the search path to find these utilities, so if there is a
version of one of them in the search path ahead of the standard system
version, surprising errors may occur.
-D, -I, -U, -P, and -M are passed to the preprocessor (see cpp(1)). -M
also causes processing to stop after the preprocessor. It is used to
generate make dependencies, which are written to the standard output.
All other options are passed to the C compiler, except the -j option,
which is not supported by CC.

DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics produced by CC itself are intended to be self-
explanatory. Occasional messages may be produced by ld(1). No messages
should be produced by cc(1).
NOTES
CC always defines the symbol __cplusplus to the preprocessor.
The -j option is not supported by OCC. (It is supported by CC). -O3
compilations require all the source files to be listed on a single
commandline.
