g++:tldr:30af2
g++: Choose a language standard to compile for (C++98/C++11/C++14/C++17).
$ g++ ${path-to-source-cpp} -std=${select} -o ${path-to-output_executable}
try on your machine
This command is used to compile C++ source code and generate an executable file. Let's break down each part of the command:
g++
: This is the name of the GNU C++ compiler.${path-to-source-cpp}
: This should be replaced with the actual path to the C++ source code file you want to compile.-std=${select}
: This option specifies which C++ standard to use for compilation.${select}
should be replaced with a specific C++ standard version (e.g.,c++11
,c++14
,c++17
, etc.). This is optional and usually depends on the features and compatibility requirements of your code.-o
: This option is used to specify the output file name for the generated executable.${path-to-output_executable}
: This should be replaced with the actual path and name you want to give to the output executable file.
By running this command, the g++
compiler will read the specified source code file, compile it according to the selected C++ standard, and generate an executable file with the specified name and location.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
