Specify the name of the cpu target architecture.
Allowed values for this option: 'AARCH64','ARMv7','PPC64LE','X86','X86_64',
'unknown'.
Default value: 'unknown'.
--debug (-g)
Specify that this was a debug compile.
--disable-warnings (-w)
Inhibit all warning messages.
--dlto (-dlto)
Do link-time optimization, alias for -lto.
--dump-callgraph (-dump-callgraph)
Dump callgraph information.
--dump-callgraph-no-demangle (-dump-callgraph-no-demangle)
Dump callgraph information without demangling.
--emit-ptx <file name> (-emit-ptx)
Emit ptx file if LTO is used.
--extra-warnings (-extrawarn)
Emit extra warnings about possible problems.
--gen-host-linker-script <host linker script type> (-ghls)
Specify the type of host linker script to be generated.
Allowed values for this option: 'lcs-abs','lcs-aug'.
--help (-h)
Print this help information on this tool.
--ignore-host-info (-ignore-host-info)
Ignore information about host references, so don't removedevice code that
could potentially be referenced by host.
--keep-system-libraries (-keep-system-libraries)
Don't optimize away system library (e.g. cudadevrt) code.
--kernels-used <kernel>,... (-kernels-used)
Specify kernels that are used. Can be part of a kernel name so any kernels
with that string in name are matched. If this option is used, then any other
kernels are considered dead-code and removed.
--library <library>,... (-l)
Specify libraries to be used in the linking stage. The libraries are searched
for on the library search paths that have been specified using option '-L'.
--library-path <library-path>,... (-L)
Specify library search paths.
--link-time-opt (-lto)
Do link-time optimization.
--machine <bits> (-m)
Specify 64 bit architecture.
Allowed values for this option: 64.
Default value: 64.
--maxrregcount <amount> (-maxrregcount)
Max regcount (only used with LTO).
--nvvmpath (-nvvmpath)
Path to libnvvm library.
--options-file <file>,... (-optf)
Include command line options from specified file.
--output-file <file name> (-o)
Specify name and location of the output file.
--preserve-relocs (-preserve-relocs)
Preserve resolved relocations in linked executable.
--register-link-binaries <file name> --register-link-binaries <file
name>
Specify name and location of output file that will contain names of cudaRegister
routines for each linked file.
--report-arch (-report-arch)
Report SM target arch in error messages.
--split-compile <amount> (-split-compile)
Max threads nvvm can use for split compilation (only used with LTO).
Default value: 1.
--split-compile-extended <amount> (-split-compile-extended)
Max threads linker can use for extended split compilation (only used with
LTO).
Default value: 1.
--suppress-arch-warning (-suppress-arch-warning)
Suppress the warning that otherwise is printed when object does not contain
code for target arch.
--suppress-debug-info (-suppress-debug-info)
Do not preserve debug symbols in output.
Note: This option is ignored if used without --debug option.
--suppress-stack-size-warning (-suppress-stack-size-warning)
Suppress the warning that otherwise is printed when stack size cannot be
determined.
--time <file name> (-time)
Generate a comma separated value table with the time taken by this program
and sub-component invocations, and append it at the end of the file given
as the option argument. If the file is empty, the column headings are generated
in the first row of the table. If the file name is '-', the timing data is
generated in stdout.
--uidx-file (-uidx)
Path to uidx file.
--use-host-info (-use-host-info)
Use information about host references to remove unused device code.
--variables-used <variable>,... (-variables-used)
Specify variables that are used. Can be part of a variable name so any variable
with that string in name are matched. If this option is used, then any other
variables are considered dead-code and potentially removed unless have other
accesses from device code.
--verbose (-v)
Enable verbose mode which prints code generation statistics.
--version (-V)
Print version information on this tool.
--warning-as-error (-Werror)
Make all warnings into errors.
