Arguments

name

Is the name of the g++ compiler to use. It can include the path where the g++ compiler is located.

Default

OFF

The compiler uses the PATH setting to find the g++ compiler and resolve environment settings.

Description

This option lets you specify the name of the g++ compiler that should be used to set up the link-time environment, including the location of standard libraries. If you do not specify a path, the compiler will search the PATH settings for the compiler name you provide.

This option is helpful if you have multiple gcc++ installations on your system. The compiler will match gcc++ version values to the gcc++ compiler you specify.

The C equivalent to option -gxx-name is -gcc-name.

Note

When compiling a C++ file with icc, g++ is used to get the environment.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

None

Example

If the following option is specified, the compiler looks for the g++ compiler named foobar in the PATH setting:

-gxx-name=foobar

If the following option is specified, the compiler looks for the g++ compiler named foobar in the path specified:

-gxx-name=/a/b/foobar
