see cc(1) and CC(1) (or whatever your underlying C/C++ compilers are)
for all other options.
DESCRIPTION
hcc
and
hcp
are convenience wrappers for the local native C and C++ compilers.
Translation of a LAM program requires the linkage of the LAM specific
libraries which may not reside in one of the standard search
directories of ld(1). It also often requires the inclusion of header
files what may also not be found in a standard location.
hcc
passes its arguments to the local native C compiler along with the -I,
-L and -l options required by LAM programs. This includes all
necessary options for ROMIO and/or C++ bindings support (if ROMIO/C++
support was included when LAM was compiled).
hcp
is similar, but invokes the native C++ compiler instead.
mpicc
is now the same as
hcc,
just as
mpiCC
is now the same as
hcp.
See the NOTES section, below.
By default,
hcc
uses the C compiler that was selected when LAM was configured (with
the --with-cc flag to ./configure, or by setting the environment
variable CC before ./configure was invoked) as the local native C
compiler, but this can be overridden by the LAMHCC environment
variable. Likewise,
hcp
uses the C++ compiler that was selected when LAM was configured (with
the --with-cpp flag to ./configure, or by setting the environment
variable CXX before invoking ./configure) by default, but this can be
overridden by the LAMHCP environment variable.
OPTIONS
-showme
Does not invoke the underlying C/C++ compiler. Instead, it shows the
command line that would be executed to compile the C/C++ program.
NOTES
Previous versions of
hcc
and
hcp
did not automatically link in the MPI library. Starting with LAM
version 6.3, since
hcc
and
hcp
have become the de facto LAM C and C++ compilers, the
-lmpi
option is now automatically passed to the underlying compiler when
linking LAM/MPI programs.
Previous versions of LAM included the
mpicc
and
mpiCC
wrapper scripts to automatically pass
-lmpi
to
hcc
and/or
hcp.
These scripts are now obsolete since
hcc
and
hcp
now include
-lmpi
automatically.
mpicc
and
mpiCC
are now symbolic links to
hcc
and
hcp,
respectively, to ensure backward compatibility.
