Specifies build flags to modify the compiling or linking process.
flags { "flag_list" }
flag_list
is a list of string flag names; see below for a list of valid flags. The flag values are not case-sensitive. Flags that are not supported by a particular platform or toolset are ignored.
Flag | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
ExcludeFromBuild | Exclude a source code file from the build, for the current configuration. | |
FatalCompileWarnings | Treat compiler warnings as errors. | |
FatalLinkWarnings | Treat linker warnings as errors. | |
FatalWarnings | Treat all warnings as errors; equivalent to FatalCompileWarnings, FatalLinkWarnings | |
LinkTimeOptimization | Enable link-time (i.e. whole program) optimizations. | |
Maps | Enable Generate Map File for Visual Studio | |
MFC | Enable support for Microsoft Foundation Classes. | |
MultiProcessorCompile | Enable Visual Studio to use multiple compiler processes when building. | |
No64BitChecks | Disable 64-bit portability warnings. | |
NoBufferSecurityCheck | Turn off stack protection checks. | |
NoCopyLocal | Prevent referenced assemblies from being copied to the target directory (C#) | |
NoFramePointer | Disable the generation of stack frame pointers. | |
NoImplicitLink | Disable Visual Studio's default behavior of automatically linking dependent projects. | |
NoImportLib | Prevent the generation of an import library for a Windows DLL. | |
NoIncrementalLink | Disable support for Visual Studio's incremental linking feature. | |
NoManifest | Prevent the generation of a manifest for Windows executables and shared libraries. | |
NoMinimalRebuild | Disable Visual Studio's minimal rebuild feature. | Visual Studio has deprecated this feature as of vs2015. |
NoPCH | Disable precompiled header support. If not specified, the toolset default behavior will be used. | |
NoRuntimeChecks | Disable Visual Studio's default stack frame and uninitialized variable checks on debug builds. | |
OmitDefaultLibrary | Omit the specification of a runtime library in object files. | |
RelativeLinks | Forces the linker to use relative paths to libraries instead of absolute paths. | |
ShadowedVariables | Warn when a variable, type declaration, or function is shadowed. | |
StaticRuntime | Perform a static link against the standard runtime libraries. | Deprecated - use staticruntime "On" instead. |
UndefinedIdentifiers | Warn if an undefined identifier is evaluated in an #if directive. | |
WinMain | Use WinMain() as entry point for Windows applications, rather than the default main() . |
|
WPF | Mark the project as using Windows Presentation Framework, rather than WinForms. | |
C++11 | Pass the c++11 flag to the gcc/clang compilers (msvc ignores this currently) | |
C++14 | Pass the c++14 flag to the gcc/clang compilers (msvc ignores this currently) | |
C90 | Pass the c90 flag to the gcc/clang compilers (msvc ignores this currently) | |
C99 | Pass the c99 flag to the gcc/clang compilers (msvc ignores this currently) |
Project and file configurations, though not all flags are yet supported for files across all exporters.
Unless otherwise noted, Premake 5.0 or later.
-- Enable link-time (i.e. whole program) optimizations.
