Change the architecture that V will tell the C compiler to build.
List of supported architectures: `x86` and `x64` (default).
-cc <compiler>, -compiler <compiler>
-cc <compiler>
Change the C compiler V invokes to the specified compiler.
The C compiler is required to support C99.
Officially supported/tested C compilers include: `clang`, `gcc`, `tcc`, `mingw-w64` and `msvc`.
-cf <flag>, -cflags <flag>
-cflags <flag>
Pass the provided flag as is to the C compiler.
Can be specified multiple times to provide multiple flags.
Use quotes to wrap the flag argument if it contains spaces.
-cg, -cdebug
Enable debug mode while preserving C line numbers in the compiled executable.
This allows issues regarding C compilation to be located more easily.
-printfn <fn_name>
Prints the content of the generated C function named fn_name. You can repeat that many times.
This is useful when you just want to quickly tweak the generated C code,
without opening the generated .c file in an text editor.
-cg
Enable generating more debug information in the compiled executable.
This makes program backtraces more useful.
Using debuggers like gdb/lldb with such executables is easier too.
-compress
Strip the compiled executable to compress it.
-csource <keep|drop>
Specify how V deals with the intermediate C source code.
* `keep` - The C source code will be kept as generated by V.
* `drop` (default) - The C source code will be deleted after compiling the executable.
-keepc
Specify that you want V to not delete the intermediate generated C source code.
Use with -cg for best debugging experience.
-freestanding
Build the executable without dependency on libc.

@ -41,11 +41,7 @@ The build flags are shared by the build and run commands:
Enable the specified experiment.
Currently, the only experiment available is: `prealloc`
-full-rebuild
Force a full rebuild of all dependencies.
Enabled by default currently until caching works reliably.
-g
-cg
Compile the executable in debug mode, allowing code to be debugged more easily.

v [options] [command] [arguments]
Examples:
v hello.v Compile the file `hello.v` and output it as `hello` or `hello.exe`.
v run hello.v Same as above but also run the produced executable immediately after compilation.
v -o h.c hello.v Translate `hello.v` to `h.c`. Do not compile further.
v hello.v Compile the file `hello.v` and output it as `hello` or `hello.exe`.
v run hello.v Same as above but also run the produced executable immediately after compilation.
v -keepc -cg run hello.v Same as above, but make debugging easier (in case your program crashes).
v -o h.c hello.v Translate `hello.v` to `h.c`. Do not compile further.
The commands are:
build Build V code in the provided path (default).
V supports the following commands:
* New project scaffolding:
new Setup the file structure for a V project (in a sub folder).
init Setup the file structure for an already existing V project.
doc Generate the documentation for a V module.
fmt Format the V code provided.
repl Run the REPL.
* Ordinary development:
run Compile and run a V program.
symlink Create a symbolic link for V.
test Run all test files in the provided directory.
translate Translate C code to V (coming soon in 0.3).
fmt Format the V code provided.
doc Generate the documentation for a V module.
repl Run the REPL.
* Installation/self updating:
symlink Create a symbolic link for V.
up Run the V self-updater.
self [-prod] Run the V self-compiler, use -prod to optimize compilation.
version Print the version text and exits.
* Module/package management:
install Install a module from VPM.
remove Remove a module that was installed from VPM.
search Search for a module from VPM.
update Update an installed module from VPM.
* Others:
build Build a V code in the provided path (the default, so you can skip the word `build`).
translate Translate C code to V (coming soon in 0.3).
Use "v help <command>" for more information about a command, example: `v help build`
Use "v help <command>" for more information about a command, example: `v help build`, `v help build-c`
Use "v help other" to see less frequently used commands.
