Chapter 5. Compiler Command-Line Driver
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The compiler command-line driver (xc16-gcc) is the application that invokes the oper-
ation of the MPLAB XC16 C Compiler. The driver compiles, assembles and links C and
assembly language modules and library archives. Most of the compiler command-line
options are common to all implementations of the GCC toolset. A few are specific to
the compiler and will be discussed below.
The compiler driver also may be used with MPLAB X IDE or MPLAB IDE v8. Compiler
options are selected in the GUI and passed to the compiler driver for execution.
Topics concerning the command-line use of the driver are discussed below.
