7.6.12 Miscellaneous Options

The following options do not fit in any of the previous categories.

Table 7-19. Miscellaneous Options
Option	Definition
`--nofallback`	By default, the tool will fall back to a free license when a network, or other license, is unavailable. Specifying this option will prevent fallback and cause the compilation to fail instead.
`-v`	Print the commands executed during each stage of compilation.
`-x`	You can specify the input language explicitly with the `-x` option: -x language Specify explicitly the language for the following input files (rather than letting the compiler choose a default based on the file name suffix). This option applies to all following input files until the next `-x` option. The following values are supported by the compiler: `c c-header cpp-output` `assembler assembler-with-cpp` -x none Turn off any specification of a language, so that subsequent files are handled according to their file name suffixes. This is the default behavior but is needed if another `-x` option has been used. For example: `xc16-gcc -x assembler foo.asm bar.asm -x none main.c mabonga.s` Without the `-x none`, the compiler will assume all the input files are for the assembler.
