clang:tldr:d3c87
The given command is a compilation command for the Clang compiler. Here's what each part of the command does:
-
clang
: This is the command to invoke the Clang compiler. -
${input_source-c}
: This is a variable reference that represents the input source file. The${input_source-c}
notation means that if the variableinput_source
is not defined, it will use the value-c
instead. The-c
option tells Clang to compile the source file into an object file but not to perform the final linking step. -
-Wall
: This is an option that enables a set of warning messages. The-Wall
flag stands for "all warnings" and instructs the compiler to emit a wide range of potentially useful warning messages. -
-o ${output_executable}
: This is another variable reference that represents the output executable file. The${output_executable}
notation represents the value of theoutput_executable
variable. The-o
option is used to specify the output file or the name of the resulting executable.
Overall, the command compiles the input source file (with optional -c
flag), enables all warning messages with -Wall
, and produces an output executable file with the provided name in the output_executable
variable.
