| <h3 class="section">23.1 Loading Plugins</h3> |
| |
| <p>Plugins are supported on platforms that support <samp>-ldl |
| -rdynamic</samp>. They are loaded by the compiler using <code>dlopen</code> |
| and invoked at pre-determined locations in the compilation |
| process. |
| </p> |
| <p>Plugins are loaded with |
| </p> |
| <p><samp>-fplugin=/path/to/<var>name</var>.so</samp> <samp>-fplugin-arg-<var>name</var>-<var>key1</var>[=<var>value1</var>]</samp> |
| </p> |
| <p>The plugin arguments are parsed by GCC and passed to respective |
| plugins as key-value pairs. Multiple plugins can be invoked by |
| specifying multiple <samp>-fplugin</samp> arguments. |
| </p> |
| <p>A plugin can be simply given by its short name (no dots or |
| slashes). When simply passing <samp>-fplugin=<var>name</var></samp>, the plugin is |
| loaded from the <samp>plugin</samp> directory, so <samp>-fplugin=<var>name</var></samp> is |
| the same as <samp>-fplugin=`gcc -print-file-name=plugin`/<var>name</var>.so</samp>, |
| using backquote shell syntax to query the <samp>plugin</samp> directory. |
| </p> |
