Chapter 3. Compiler Command-Line Driver
3.1
INTRODUCTION
The compiler command-line driver (xc16-gcc) is the application that invokes the oper-
ation of the MPLAB XC16 C Compiler. The driver compiles, assembles and links C and
assembly language modules and library archives. Most of the compiler command-line
options are common to all implementations of the GCC toolset. A few are specific to
the compiler and will be discussed below.

The compiler driver also may be used with MPLAB IDE. Compiler options are selected
in the GUI and passed to the compiler driver for execution.

Topics concerning the command-line use of the driver are discussed below. For more
on how to use the compiler with MPLAB IDE, please refer to the MPLAB Assembler,
Linker and Utilities for PIC24 MCUs and dsPIC DSCs User’s Guide (DS51317).
