AspectC++(1)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this page is all about ag++ 💖, which is a frontend to ac++ and g++. It's basically g++ with aspect superpowers 🔥.

---

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

ag++  -o output input.cpp

ag++  -c -o output.o -o input.cpp

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so this manual page only gives you a quick overview of the ag++ command 🌸. It's the bare-bones version, so don't panic if you want more detail.

ag++ is a frontend to ac++ and g++, and it comes from AspectC++ 🦋. For a better and more complete reference, go read the AspectC++ documentation. Trust me, it's giving full lore 📚.

ag++ is called pretty much like g++ itself 💅. Peep the two syntax forms up in SYNOPSIS, then follow these explanations:

The first syntax form takes input.cpp and makes an executable named output. Along the way it weaves into input.cpp every aspect that crosscuts it ✨. Honestly this is the main character move. Your input.cpp still has the same restrictions it would have if you were compiling a regular C++ program, so it needs a main() function, plus everything you already know 🙈.

The second syntax form takes input.cpp and makes an object file named output.o, and again it weaves in all the aspects that crosscut it 🧚.

Note: in both cases, input.cpp isn't actually changed 🫶. g++ weaves into temporary files instead, so your original file stays exactly as it is.

Common g++ arguments, like -I INDCIR, -L LIBCIR, -l libfoo, and so on, get recognized by ag++ and passed along to g++ 💜. It's giving seamless.
