2.1.137 --reduce_paths, --no_reduce_paths
This option enables or disables the elimination of redundant path name information in
file paths.
When elimination of redundant path name information is enabled, the compiler
removes sequences of the form xyz\.. from directory paths passed to the operating
system. This includes system paths constructed by the compiler itself, for example, for
#include searching.
Note
The removal of sequences of the form xyz\.. might not be valid if xyz is a link.
Mode
This option is effective on Windows systems only.
Usage
Windows systems impose a 260 character limit on file paths. Where path names exist
whose absolute names expand to longer than 260 characters, you can use the
--reduce_paths option to reduce absolute path name length by matching up directories
with corresponding instances of .. and eliminating the directory/.. sequences in pairs.
Note
It is recommended that you avoid using long and deeply nested file paths, in preference
to minimizing path lengths using the --reduce_paths option.
Default
The default is --no_reduce_paths.
