gdmd(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, meet gdmd — it's a wrapper script for gdc that emulates the dmd command. that's the whole vibe. she's a translator, a hype-woman, a middle-manager between you and your compiler. 💅

(this page lives in the General Commands Manual, section 1, iykyk.)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gdmd files.d { -switch }

💖 OPTIONS 💖

here's the whole menu, no skips, no cuts, we're eating today 🍓

• files.di — D interface files
• files.o — object files to link in
• files.a — library files to link in
• -arch — pass the -arch option to gdc
• -c — compile only, do not link
• -cov — do code coverage analysis
• -D — generate documentation ✨
• -Dddocdir — write the documentation file to the docdir directory
• -Dffilename — write the documentation file to filename
• -d — allow deprecated features (they're deprecated, but ok, go off)
• -debug — compile in debug code
• -debug=level — compile in debug code <= level
• -debug=ident — compile in debug code identified by ident
• -debuglib=lib — debug library to use instead of phobos
• -defaultlib=lib — default library to use instead of phobos
• -deps=filename — write module dependencies to filename
• -f... — pass an -f... option to gdc
• -fall-sources — for every source file, semantically process each file preceding i
• -framework — pass a -framework ... option to gdc
• -g — add symbolic debug info
• -gs — always emit stack frame
• -H — generate a 'header' file
• -Hdhdrdir — write the 'header' file to the hdrdir directory
• -Hffilename — write the 'header' file to filename
• -Ipath — where to look for imports
  • path is a ; separated list of paths. Multiple -I's can be used, and the paths are searched in the same order.
• -ignore — ignore unsupported pragmas 🙈
• -inline — do function inlining

• -noboundscheck — turns off array bounds checking for all functions ⚠️
• -O — optimize 🔥
• -o- — do not write object file
• -odobjdir — write object files to the objdir directory
• -offilename — name the output file filename
• -op — do not strip paths from source file
• -pipe — use pipes instead of intermediate files
• -profile — profile runtime performance
• -quiet — suppress unnecessary error messages 🤫
• -q,<arg1>[,<arg2>,<arg3>,...] — pass the comma-separated arguments to gdc
• -release — compile release version
• -run — run the resulting program, passing args
• -shared — generate shared library (DLL)
• -unittest — compile in unit tests
• -v — verbose
• -vdmd — Print commands executed by this wrapper script
• --version — print compiler version and exit
• -h|--help — Print the usage information and exit
• -version=level — compile in version code >= level
• version=ident — compile in version code identified by ident
• -vtls — list all variables going into thread local storage
• -w — enable warnings
• -wi — enable informational warnings compile in version code identified by ident
• -X — generate JSON file
• -Xffilename — write JSON to filename

not me flagging this but the page literally glues two things together in -wi up there — both halves are staying exactly as written, no cap. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie 🦋 this was gdmd(1) from the General Commands Manual — that bottom-line tag is the source/version marker, so if you see gdmd(1) stamped on it, you know exactly which queen you're reading. slay, go compile something iconic 💜🌸
