7 Compiler Command-Line Driver

The compiler command-line driver (xc16-gcc) is the application that invokes the operation of the MPLAB XC16 C Compiler. The driver compiles, assembles and links C and assembly language modules and library archives. Most of the compiler command-line options are common to all implementations of the GCC toolset. A few are specific to the compiler and will be discussed below.

The compiler driver also may be used with MPLAB X IDE. Compiler options are selected in the GUI and passed to the compiler driver for execution.
