General Dialog Help

Use this dialog to set compiler options used when creating C++ module objects.

Functionally-related options are grouped together into separate panels. To select a panel, click on its tab. Tabs in this panel are:


Module Panel Defines the object module created.

Compile Panel Specifies compiler options to use when the source code is being compiled.

Generation Panel Defines the output generated by the compiler.

Listing Panel Specifies options for source listings.

Debug Panel Defines error and debugging information produced by the compiler.

Diagnostic Panel Defines what informational messages indicating possible programming errors are generated by the compiler.

Performance Panel Specifies options to improve and report on performance of the compiled object.

Other Panel Contains various language, locale, and file system options.

*CMDDFT Default Settings
The string *CMDDFT appears in or beside many selections in the compiler options panels. These selections are preset according to the defaults that are currently set on your host system, which may not necessarily be the installation defaults. You can leave these selections at their default values, or change them to suit your needs.

Where *CMDDFT appears beside a checkbox, that checkbox has three possible states: selected, not selected, or grayed out.

If the checkbox for an option is grayed out, or a selection list for an option is showing *CMDDFT as the selected choice, those options are not passed along to the compiler. Instead, the compiler assumes the default value currently set on your host system for that option..

Pushbuttons
The following pushbuttons are found at the bottom of the dialog:

OK
Accepts changes made to compiler options, then closes this dialog.

Cancel
Discards changes to options, then closes this dialog.

Default
Changes the settings on the current options panel to their default values as set by the host system.
