DESCRIPTION
The cc and cxx commands serve as interfaces to the Microsoft C compiler (cl). Versions 5.0 and
higher of this compiler are supported. cc is for compiling C files, while cxx is for compiling C++
files.
Note:
The behavior of cc depends upon whether or not you are working in the standard MKS
Toolkit development environment or the development environment designed for use with the
MKS Toolkit UNIX APIs.
cxx is only available in the MKS Toolkit UNIX APIs development environment.
These commands are just wrappers that invoke the cl utility. If you are using MKS Toolkit
for Professional Developers or MKS Toolkit for Developers, the presence of cl in PATH is
checked for during installation. For other Toolkit products, you must ensure yourself that cl
is in the PATH.
Files with a .c suffix are taken to be C source files, files with a .cpp or .cxx extension are taken
to be C++ source files, and files with a .asm extension are taken to be assembly language source
files. The presence of source files with a .cpp or .cxx automatically causes the source files to be
compiled as if the cxx command had been invoked instead.
The cc and cxx commands implicitly set the following Microsoft compiler switches (for Intel
platforms only):
