+
+@node Input and Output files
+@section Input and Output files
+@cindex suffixes for D source
+@cindex D source file suffixes
+
+For any given input file, the file name suffix determines what kind of
+compilation is done. The following kinds of input file names are supported:
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+@item @var{file}.d
+D source files.
+@item @var{file}.dd
+Ddoc source files.
+@item @var{file}.di
+D interface files.
+@end table
+
+You can specify more than one input file on the @command{gdc} command line,
+in which case they will all be compiled. If you specify a
+@code{-o @var{file}} option, all the input files will be compiled together,
+producing a single output file, named @var{file}. This is allowed even
+when using @code{-S} or @code{-c}.
+
+@cindex D interface files.
+A D interface file contains only what an import of the module needs,
+rather than the whole implementation of that module. They can be created
+by @command{gdc} from a D source file by using the @code{-fintfc} option.
+When the compiler resolves an import declaration, it searches for matching
+@file{.di} files first, then for @file{.d}.
+
+@cindex Ddoc source files.
+A Ddoc source file contains code in the D macro processor language. It is
+primarily designed for use in producing user documentation from embedded
+comments, with a slight affinity towards HTML generation. If a @file{.d}
+source file starts with the string @code{Ddoc} then it is treated as general
+purpose documentation, not as a D source file.
+
+@node Runtime Options
+@section Runtime Options
+@cindex options, runtime
+
+These options affect the runtime behavior of programs compiled with
+@command{gdc}.
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+
+@item -fall-instantiations
+@cindex @option{-fall-instantiations}
+@cindex @option{-fno-all-instantiations}
+Generate code for all template instantiations. The default template emission
+strategy is to not generate code for declarations that were either
+instantiated speculatively, such as from @code{__traits(compiles, ...)}, or
+that come from an imported module not being compiled.
+
+@item -fno-assert
+@cindex @option{-fassert}
+@cindex @option{-fno-assert}
+Turn off code generation for @code{assert} contracts.
+
+@item -fno-bounds-check
+@cindex @option{-fbounds-check}
+@cindex @option{-fno-bounds-check}
+Turns off array bounds checking for all functions, which can improve
+performance for code that uses array extensively. Note that this
+can result in unpredictable behavior if the code in question actually
+does violate array bounds constraints. It is safe to use this option
+if you are sure that your code will never throw a @code{RangeError}.
+
+@item -fbounds-check=@var{value}
+@cindex @option{-fbounds-check=}
+An alternative to @option{-fbounds-check} that allows more control
+as to where bounds checking is turned on or off. The following values
+are supported:
+
+@table @samp
+@item on
+@cindex @option{-fbounds-check=on}
+Turns on array bounds checking for all functions.
+@item safeonly
+@cindex @option{-fbounds-check=safeonly}
+Turns on array bounds checking only for @code{@@safe} functions.
+@item off
+@cindex @option{-fbounds-check=off}
+Turns off array bounds checking completely.
+@end table
+
+@item -fno-builtin
+@cindex @option{-fbuiltin}
+@cindex @option{-fno-builtin}
+Don't recognize built-in functions that do not begin with
+@samp{__builtin_} as prefix. By default, the compiler will recognize
+when a function in the @code{core.stdc} package is a built-in function.
+
+@item -fdebug
+@item -fdebug=@var{value}
+@cindex @option{-fdebug}
+@cindex @option{-fno-debug}
+Turn on compilation of conditional @code{debug} code into the program.
+The @option{-fdebug} option itself sets the debug level to @code{1},
+while @option{-fdebug=} enables @code{debug} code that are identified
+by any of the following values:
+
+@table @samp
+@item level
+@cindex @option{-fdebug=level}
+Sets the debug level to @var{level}, any @code{debug} code <= @var{level}
+is compiled into the program.
+@item ident
+@cindex @option{-fdebug=ident}
+Turns on compilation of any @code{debug} code identified by @var{ident}.
+@end table
+
+@item -fno-invariants
+@cindex @option{-finvariants}
+@cindex @option{-fno-invariants}
+Turns off code generation for class @code{invariant} contracts.
+
+@item -fno-moduleinfo
+@cindex @option{-fmoduleinfo}
+@cindex @option{-fno-moduleinfo}
+Turns off generation of the @code{ModuleInfo} and related functions
+that would become unreferenced without it, which may allow linking
+to programs not written in D. Functions that will not be generated
+include module constructor and destructors (@code{static this} and
+@code{static ~this}), @code{unittest} code, and @code{DSO} registry
+functions for dynamically linked code.
+
+@item -fonly=@var{filename}
+@cindex @option{-fonly}
+Tells the compiler to parse and run semantic analysis on all modules
+on the command line, but only generate code for the module specified
+by @var{filename}.
+
+@item -fno-postconditions
+@cindex @option{-fpostconditions}
+@cindex @option{-fno-postconditions}
+Turns off code generation for postcondition @code{out} contracts.
+
+@item -fno-preconditions
+@cindex @option{-fpreconditions}
+@cindex @option{-fno-preconditions}
+Turns off code generation for precondition @code{in} contracts.
+
+@item -frelease
+@cindex @option{-frelease}
+@cindex @option{-fno-release}
+Turns on compiling in release mode, which means not emitting runtime
+checks for contracts and asserts. Array bounds checking is not done
+for @code{@@system} and @code{@@trusted} functions, and assertion
+failures are undefined behaviour.
+
+This is equivalent to compiling with the following options:
+
+@example
+gdc -fno-assert -fbounds-check=safe -fno-invariants \
+ -fno-postconditions -fno-preconditions -fno-switch-errors
+@end example
+
+@item -fno-switch-errors
+@cindex @option{-fswitch-errors}
+@cindex @option{-fno-switch-errors}
+This option controls what code should be generated when no case is
+matched in a @code{final switch} statement. The default run time
+behavior is that a @code{SwitchError} will be thrown. Turning off
+@option{-fswitch-errors} means that instead the execution of the
+program is immediately halted.
+
+@item -funittest
+@cindex @option{-funittest}
+@cindex @option{-fno-unittest}
+Turns on compilation of @code{unittest} code, and turns on the
+@code{version(unittest)} identifier. This implies @option{-fassert}.
+
+@item -fversion=@var{value}
+@cindex @option{-fversion}
+Turns on compilation of conditional @code{version} code into the program
+identified by any of the following values:
+
+@table @samp
+@item level
+@cindex @option{-fversion=level}
+Sets the version level to @var{level}, any @code{version} code >= @var{level}
+is compiled into the program.
+@item ident
+@cindex @option{-fversion=ident}
+Turns on compilation of @code{version} code identified by @var{ident}.

+@node Directory Options
+@section Options for Directory Search
+@cindex directory options
+@cindex options, directory search
+@cindex search path
+
+These options specify directories to search for files, libraries, and
+other parts of the compiler:
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+
+@item -I@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-I}
+Specify a directory to use when searching for imported modules at
+compile time. Multiple @option{-I} options can be used, and the
+paths are searched in the same order.
+
+@item -J@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-J}
+Specify a directory to use when searching for files in string imports
+at compile time. This switch is required in order to use
+@code{import(file)} expressions. Multiple @option{-J} options can be
+used, and the paths are searched in the same order.
+
+@item -L@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-L}
+When linking, specify a library search directory, as with @command{gcc}.
+
+@item -B@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-B}
+This option specifies where to find the executables, libraries,
+source files, and data files of the compiler itself, as with @command{gcc}.
+
+@item -fmodule-filepath=@var{module}=@var{spec}
+@cindex @option{-fmodule-filepath}
+This option manipulates file paths of imported modules, such that if an
+imported module matches all or the leftmost part of @var{module}, the file
+path in @var{spec} is used as the location to search for D sources.
+This is used when the source file path and names are not the same as the
+package and module hierachy. Consider the following examples:
+
+@example
+gdc test.d -fmodule-filepath=A.B=foo.d -fmodule-filepath=C=bar
+@end example
+
+This will tell the compiler to search in all import paths for the source
+file @var{foo.d} when importing @var{A.B}, and the directory @var{bar/}
+when importing @var{C}, as annotated in the following D code:
+
+@example
+module test;
+import A.B; // Matches A.B, searches for foo.d
+import C.D.E; // Matches C, searches for bar/D/E.d
+import A.B.C; // No match, searches for A/B/C.d
+@end example
+
+@item -imultilib @var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-imultilib}
+Use @var{dir} as a subdirectory of the gcc directory containing
+target-specific D sources and interfaces.
+
+@item -iprefix @var{prefix}
+@cindex @option{-iprefix}
+Specify @var{prefix} as the prefix for the gcc directory containing
+target-specific D sources and interfaces. If the @var{prefix} represents
+a directory, you should include the final @code{'/'}.
+
+@item -nostdinc
+@cindex @option{-nostdinc}
+Do not search the standard system directories for D source and interface
+files. Only the directories that have been specified with @option{-I} options
+(and the directory of the current file, if appropriate) are searched.

+@section Code Generation
+@cindex options, code generation
+
+In addition to the many @command{gcc} options controlling code generation,
+@command{gdc} has several options specific to itself.
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+
+@item -M
+@cindex @option{-M}
+Output the module dependencies of all source files being compiled in a
+format suitable for @command{make}. The compiler outputs one
+@command{make} rule containing the object file name for that source file,
+a colon, and the names of all imported files.
+
+@item -MM
+@cindex @option{-MM}
+Like @option{-M} but does not mention imported modules from the D standard
+library package directories.
+
+@item -MF @var{file}
+@cindex @option{-MF}
+When used with @option{-M} or @option{-MM}, specifies a @var{file} to write
+the dependencies to. When used with the driver options @option{-MD} or
+@option{-MMD}, @option{-MF} overrides the default dependency output file.
+
+@item -MG
+@cindex @option{-MG}
+This option is for compatibility with @command{gcc}, and is ignored by the
+compiler.
+
+@item -MP
+@cindex @option{-MP}
+Outputs a phony target for each dependency other than the modules being
+compiled, causing each to depend on nothing.
+
+@item -MT @var{target}
+@cindex @option{-MT}
+Change the @var{target} of the rule emitted by dependency generation
+to be exactly the string you specify. If you want multiple targets,
+you can specify them as a single argument to @option{-MT}, or use
+multiple @option{-MT} options.
+
+@item -MQ @var{target}
+@cindex @option{-MQ}
+Same as @option{-MT}, but it quotes any characters which are special to
+@command{make}.
+
+@item -MD
+@cindex @option{-MD}
+This option is equivalent to @option{-M -MF @var{file}}. The driver
+determines @var{file} based on the name of the input file, removes any
+directory components and suffix, and applies a @file{.deps} suffix.
+
+@item -MMD
+@cindex @option{-MMD}
+Like @option{-MD} but does not mention imported modules from the D standard
+library package directories.
+
+@item -X
+@cindex @option{-X}
+Output information describing the contents of all source files being
+compiled in JSON format to a file. The driver determines @var{file} based
+on the name of the input file, removes any directory components and suffix,
+and applies a @file{.json} suffix.
+
+@item -Xf @var{file}
+@cindex @option{-Xf}
+Same as @option{-X}, but writes all JSON contents to the specified
+@var{file}.
+
+@item -fdeps
+@cindex @option{-fdeps}
+Dump module dependencies of all source files being compiled in a machine
+readable format. Suitable for any build tool that needs to track source
+file dependencies for incremental builds.
+
+@item -fdeps=@var{file}
+@cindex @option{-fdeps=}
+Same as @option{-fdeps}, but writes dependencies to the specified
+@var{file}.
+
+@item -fdoc
+@cindex @option{-fdoc}
+Generates @code{Ddoc} documentation and writes to a file. The compiler
+determines @var{file} based on the name of the input file, removes any
+directory components and suffix, and applies a @file{.html} suffix.
+
+@item -fdoc-dir=@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-fdoc-dir}
+Same as @option{-fdoc}, but writes documentation to @var{dir} directory.
+This option can be used with @option{-fdoc-file=@var{file}} to
+independently set the output file and directory path.
+
+@item -fdoc-file=@var{file}
+@cindex @option{-fdoc-file}
+Same as @option{-fdoc}, but writes documentation to @var{file}. This
+option can be used with @option{-fdoc-dir=@var{dir}} to independently
+set the output file and directory path.
+
+@item -fdoc-inc=@var{file}
+@cindex @option{-fdoc-inc}
+Specify @var{file} as a @var{Ddoc} macro file to be read. Multiple
+@option{-fdoc-inc} options can be used, and files are read and processed
+in the same order.
+
+@item -fintfc
+@cindex @option{-fintfc}
+Generates D interface files for all modules being compiled. The compiler
+determines the output @var{file} based on the name of the input file,
+removes any directory components and suffix, and applies the @file{.di}
+suffix.
+
+@item -fintfc-dir=@var{dir}
+@cindex @option{-fintfc-dir}
+Same as @option{-fintfc}, but writes interface files to @var{dir}
+directory. This option can be used with @option{-fintfc-file=@var{file}}
+to independently set the output file and directory path.
+
+@item -fintfc-file=@var{filename}
+@cindex @option{-fintfc-file}
+Same as @option{-fintfc} but writes interface files to @var{file}. This
+option can be used with @option{-fintfc-dir=@var{dir}} to independently
+set the output file and directory path.

+@node Warnings
+@section Warnings
+@cindex options to control warnings
+@cindex warning messages
+@cindex messages, warning
+@cindex suppressing warnings
+
+Warnings are diagnostic messages that report constructions that
+are not inherently erroneous but that are risky or suggest there
+is likely to be a bug in the program. Unless @option{-Werror} is
+specified, they do not prevent compilation of the program.
+
+@table @gcctabopt
+
+@item -Wall
+@cindex @option{-Wall}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-all}
+Turns on all warnings messages. Warnings are not a defined part of
+the D language, and all constructs for which this may generate a
+warning message are legal code.
+
+@item -Wcast-result
+@cindex @option{-Wcast-result}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-cast-result}
+Warn about casts that will produce a null or zero result. Currently
+this is only done for casting between an imaginary and non-imaginary
+data type, or casting between a D and C++ class.
+
+@item -Wno-deprecated
+@cindex @option{-Wdeprecated}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-deprecated}
+Do not warn about usage of deprecated features and symbols with
+@code{deprecated} attributes.
+
+@item -Werror
+@cindex @option{-Werror}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-error}
+Turns all warnings into errors.
+
+@item -Wspeculative
+@cindex @option{-Wspeculative}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-speculative}
+Report on all error messages from speculative compiles, such as
+@code{__traits(compiles, ...)}. This option does not report
+messages as warnings, and these messages therefore never become
+errors when the @option{-Werror} option is also used.
+
+@item -Wtemplates
+@cindex @option{-Wtemplates}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-templates}
+Warn when a template instantiation is encountered. Some coding
+rules disallow templates, and this may be used to enforce that rule.
+
+@item -Wunknown-pragmas
+@cindex @option{-Wunknown-pragmas}
+@cindex @option{-Wno-unknown-pragmas}
+Warn when a @code{pragma()} is encountered that is not understood by
+@command{gdc}. This differs from @option{-fignore-unknown-pragmas}
+where a pragma that is part of the D language, but not implemented by
+the compiler, will not get reported.
+
+@item -fignore-unknown-pragmas
+@cindex @option{-fignore-unknown-pragmas}
+@cindex @option{-fno-ignore-unknown-pragmas}
+Turns off errors for unsupported pragmas.
+
+@item -fmax-errors=@var{n}
+@cindex @option{-fmax-errors}
+Limits the maximum number of error messages to @var{n}, at which point
+@command{gdc} bails out rather than attempting to continue processing the
+source code. If @var{n} is 0 (the default), there is no limit on the
+number of error messages produced.
+
+@item -fproperty
+@cindex @option{-fproperty}
+@cindex @option{-fno-property}
+Enforces the @code{@@property} syntax in D.
+
+@item -fsyntax-only
+@cindex @option{-fsyntax-only}
+@cindex @option{-fno-syntax-only}
+Check the code for syntax errors, but do not actually compile it. This
+only suppresses the generation of the object code, and can be used in
+conjunction with @option{-fdoc} or @option{-fintfc} options.
+
+@item -ftransition=@var{id}
+@cindex @option{-ftransition}
+Report additional information about D language changes identified by
+@var{id}. The following values are supported:
+
+@table @samp
+@item all
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=all}
+List information on all language changes.
+@item checkimports
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=checkimports}
+Give deprecation messages about @option{-ftransition=import} anomalies.
+@item complex
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=complex}
+List all usages of complex or imaginary types.
+@item dip1000

+Implements @uref{http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP1000} (experimental).
+@item dip25
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=dip25}
+Implements @uref{http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP25} (experimental).
+@item field
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=field}
+List all non-mutable fields which occupy an object instance.
+@item import
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=import}
+Tells the compiler to revert to using an old lookup behavior for resolving
+unqualified symbol names, where this was done in a single pass, ignoring any
+protection attributes. The default name lookup strategy is to use two passes,
+the first ignoring imported declarations, and the second only looking at imports.
+The protection (@code{private}, @code{package}, @code{protected}) of symbols is
+also enforced to resolve any conflicts between private and public symbols.
+@item nogc
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=nogc}
+List all hidden GC allocations.
+@item tls
+@cindex @option{-ftransition=tls}
+List all variables going into thread local storage.

+as @option{-static-libphobos} or @option{-shared-libphobos}, are ignored.
+
+@item -nophoboslib

+Do not use the Phobos or D runtime library when linking. Options specifying
+the linkage of libphobos, such as @option{-static-libphobos} or
+@option{-shared-libphobos}, are ignored. The standard system libraries are
+used normally, unless @option{-nostdlib} or @option{-nodefaultlibs} is used.
+
+@item -shared-libphobos
+@cindex @option{-shared-libphobos}
+On systems that provide @file{libgphobos} and @file{libgdruntime} as a
+shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the shared
+version. If no shared version was built when the compiler was configured,
+this option has no effect.
+
+@item -static-libphobos
+@cindex @option{-static-libphobos}
+On systems that provide @file{libgphobos} and @file{libgdruntime} as a
