ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Build Smarts Window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Build Smarts window is a fast path for setting options for the VisualAge
C++ actions Compile and Link, and for two options that affect the way your
project target is built. The options that you set in the Build Smarts window
work in combination with the options that are set for the individual actions
themselves.
You can select the following options:
Debugger
Browser
Performance Analyzer
Optimizer
Generate a make file
Build any subprojects first
You can also define and remove macros you specify for a particular stage of
development:
Development
Production
The top four settings in the Build Smarts window affect both the Compiler and
Linker options. For example, selecting the Debugger checkbox effectively adds
the /Ti option to the compiler command line, and the /DE option to the linker
command line, when you initiate a build involving those actions.
The settings in this window do not change the options already set for Compile
and Link in their options dialogs. The Tools setup settings are simply added
to what is already set for the involved actions. When there are conflicts, the
Build Smarts settings override those already set for the individual actions.
Two important build options are also included here: Generate a make file and
Build any subprojects first. Select the first option to generate a new make
file as part of running the build. Select the second option to build any child
projects before building the current project so that all the dependencies are
up to date.
At any time, you can disable the Build Smarts options by deselecting the
Enable Build Smarts features checkbox if you only want to use the options set
for the individual VisualAge C++ actions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. Enable Build Smarts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Enable Build Smarts to use the options settings below it, enabling the
features that are selected and disabling the features that are not selected.
If Enable Build Smarts is not selected, then none of the options are used, even
if some are selected.
The following options are controlled by Enable Build Smarts:
Debugger
Browser
Performance Analyzer
Optimizer
Generate a make file
Build any subprojects first
Development user macro sets
Production user macro sets
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Debugger ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Debugger to enable your application for debugging with the VisualAge C++
debugger.
Selecting this option is equivalent to specifying the following compiler and
linker options:
/Ti (compiler)
/O- (compiler)
/Os- (compiler)
/DE (linker)
These options are specified in addition to any options specified in the
Compiler and Linker Options notebooks. In case of conflict, the options
specified by Build Smarts take precedence.
Do not select both Debugger and Optimizer. The debugger is very limited in its
ability to debug optimized code. See Generating Debugger Information for more
information.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Browser ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Browser to enable your application for browsing with the VisualAge C++
browser.
Selecting this option is equivalent to specifying the following compiler and
linker options:
/Fb (compiler)
/BR (linker)
These options are specified in addition to any options specified in the
Compiler and Linker Options notebooks. In case of conflict, the options
specified by Build Smarts take precedence.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. Performance Analyzer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Performance Analyzer to enable your application for performance analysis
with the VisualAge C++ Performance Analyzer.
Selecting this option is equivalent to specifying the following compiler and
linker options:
/Ti (compiler)
/Gh (compiler)
/DE (linker)
/NOE (linker)
When you select this option, the object file CPPOPA3.OBJ, which is required by
the Performance Analyzer, is linked in automatically.
These options are specified in addition to any options specified in the
Compiler and Linker Options notebooks. In case of conflict, the options
specified by Build Smarts take precedence.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.5. Optimizer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Optimizer to have the compiler optimize your code to improve the speed
of your application. See Optimizing Object Code for more information.
Selecting this option is equivalent to specifying the following compiler
option:
/O+
This option is specified in addition to any options specified in the Compiler
and Linker Options notebooks. In case of conflict, options specified by Build
Smarts take precedence.
Do not select both Optimizer and Debugger. The debugger is very limited in its
ability to debug optimized code. See Generating Debugger Information for more
information.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.6. Generate a make file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Generate a make file if you want WorkFrame to produce a new make file
each time the Build action is executed. Deselect this button if you have your
own make file that you want the Build action to use.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Build any subprojects first ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Build any subprojects first to build any child projects before building
the current project so that all the dependencies are up to date.
Deselect this option to perform a partial build. The current project will be
built, but any projects nested inside it will not. For example, you might want
to build an executable without rebuilding a DLL upon which it depends.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. Development ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Development when you are developing your application (debugging it
rather than optimizing it) to define or remove any macros specified in the
Development entry fields Define and Remove.
This is equivalent to specifying those macros with the command-line compiler
options /D and /U.
The macros you specify in the Define and Remove fields next to the Development
checkbox are only defined or removed when Development is selected.
The macro definitions and removals you specify are performed in addition to any
you specified in the Compiler notebook. In case of conflict, macro
specifications in Build Smarts take precedence.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. Production ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Production when you are working on the production of your application
(optimizing it rather than debugging it) to define or remove any macros
specified in the Production entry fields Define and Remove.
This is equivalent to specifying those macros with the command-line compiler
options /D and /U.
The macros you specify in the Define and Remove fields next to the Production
checkbox are only defined or removed when Production is selected.
The macro definitions and removals you specify are performed in addition to any
you specified in the Compiler notebook. In case of conflict, macro
specifications in Build Smarts take precedence.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.10. Define Development macros ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify macros in this field that you want defined when you are in your
development phase (debugging rather than optimizing). The macros are defined
when you check the Development checkbox.
This is equivalent to defining the macros with the /D command-line compiler
option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.11. Remove Development macros ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify macros in this field that you want undefined when you are in your
development phase (debugging rather than optimizing). The macros are undefined
when you check the Development checkbox.
This is equivalent to undefining the macros with the /U command-line compiler
option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.12. Define Production macros ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify macros in this field that you want defined when you are in your
production phase (optimizing rather than debugging). The macros are defined
when you check the Production checkbox.
This is equivalent to defining the macros with the /D command-line compiler
option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.13. Remove Production macros ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify macros in this field that you want undefined when you are in your
production phase (optimizing rather than debugging). The macros are undefined
when you check the Production checkbox.
This is equivalent to undefining the macros with the /U command-line compiler
option.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.14. OK ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select OK to close the Build Smarts window and save your changes. The options
you selected will be in effect the next time you build your project.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.15. Cancel ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Cancel to cancel your changes and close the Build Smarts window without
saving your selections.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.16. Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select Help to display contextual help for the item currently in focus in the
window.
