Compiler Command-line Options
The initial value of the U bit is determined by the UBITINIT input
to the core.
Note
Unaligned doubleword accesses, for example unaligned accesses to long
long integers, are not supported by ARM processor cores. Doubleword
accesses must be either eight-byte or four-byte aligned.
The compiler does not provide support for modulo eight-byte alignment
checking. That is, the configuration U = 0, A = 1 in CP15 register 1 is not
supported by the compiler, or more generally, by the RVCT toolset.
The RVCT libraries include special versions of certain library functions
designed to exploit unaligned accesses. To prevent these enhanced library
functions being used when unaligned access support is disabled, you have
to specify --no_unaligned_access on both the compiler command line and
the assembler command line when compiling a mixture of C and C++
source files and asssembly language source files.
Restrictions
Code compiled for processors supporting unaligned accesses to data can run correctly
only if the choice of alignment support in software matches the choice of alignment
support on the processor core.

2.1.162 --use_pch=filename
This option instructs the compiler to use a PCH file with the specified filename as part
of the current compilation.
This option takes precedence if you include --pch on the same command line.
Syntax
--use_pch=filename
Where:
filename
is the PCH file to be used as part of the current compilation.
