clang++:tldr:ac213
clang++: Display (almost) all errors and warnings.
$ clang++ ${path-to-source-cpp} -Wall -o ${path-to-output_executable}
try on your machine
This command is using the clang++
compiler to compile a C++ source file and generate an executable file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
clang++
: This is the command to invoke theclang++
compiler.clang++
is a C++ compiler that is part of the LLVM project.${path-to-source-cpp}
: This is a placeholder for the path to the C++ source file you want to compile. You need to replace${path-to-source-cpp}
with the actual path to your source file. For example, if your source file is located at/path/to/myfile.cpp
, you would replace${path-to-source-cpp}
with/path/to/myfile.cpp
.-Wall
: This is a compiler flag that enables all warning messages. The-W
option is used to enable specific warning categories, andall
indicates that all warning categories should be enabled.-o
: This option is followed by${path-to-output_executable}
, which is another placeholder for the desired path and name of the output executable file. Just like${path-to-source-cpp}
, you need to replace${path-to-output_executable}
with the actual path to the desired output file. For example, if you want the output file to be namedmyprogram
and located in the current directory, you would replace${path-to-output_executable}
with./myprogram
.
So, in summary, this command compiles the C++ source file specified by ${path-to-source-cpp}
using clang++
, enables all warning messages with -Wall
, and generates an executable file named as specified by ${path-to-output_executable}
.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
