A compiler definition. compiler elements may be placed either as children of a cc element or the project element. A compiler element with an id attribute may be referenced from compiler elements with refid or extends attributes.

Attribute	Description	Type
classname	Sets the default compiler adapter. Use the "name" attribute when the compiler is a supported compiler.	String
debug	If set true, all targets will be built for debugging.	boolean
description	Sets a description of the current data type.	String
exceptions	Enables or disables exception support.	boolean
extends	Specifies that this element extends the element with id attribute with a matching value. The configuration will be constructed from the settings of this element, element referenced by extends, and the containing cc element.	Reference
id	Sets an id that can be used to reference this element.	String
if	Sets the property name for the 'if' condition. The configuration will be ignored unless the property is defined. The value of the property is insignificant, but values that would imply misinterpretation ("false", "no") will throw an exception when evaluated.	String
inherit	If inherit has the default value of true, defines, includes and other settings from the containing cc element will be inherited.	boolean
libtool	Set use of libtool. If set to true, the "libtool " will be prepended to the command line	boolean
multithreaded	Enables or disables generation of multithreaded code. Unless specified, multithreaded code generation is enabled.	boolean
name	Sets compiler type.

newenvironment	Do not propagate old environment when new environment variables are specified.	boolean
optimize	Sets optimization level.	OptimizationEnum
rebuild	If set true, all targets will be unconditionally rebuilt.	boolean
refid	Specifies that this element should behave as if the content of the element with the matching id attribute was inserted at this location. If specified, no other attributes or child content should be specified, other than "if", "unless" and "description".	Reference
rtti	Enables or disables run-time type information.	boolean
unless	Set the property name for the 'unless' condition. If named property is set, the configuration will be ignored. The value of the property is insignificant, but values that would imply misinterpretation ("false", "no") of the behavior will throw an exception when evaluated.	String
warnings	Enumerated attribute with the values "none", "severe", "default", "production", "diagnostic", and "aserror".	WarningLevelEnum

compilerarg

Adds a compiler command-line arg.

compilerparam

Adds a compiler command-line arg.

defineset

Adds a defineset.

env

Add an environment variable to the launched process.

fileset

Adds a source file set. Files in these set will be processed by this configuration and will not participate in the auction.

includepath

Creates an include path.

precompile

Specifies precompilation prototype file and exclusions.

sysincludepath

Creates a system include path. Locations and timestamps of files located using the system include paths are not used in dependency analysis. Standard include locations should not be specified. The compiler adapters should recognized the settings from the appropriate environment variables or configuration files.
