Book Info
Definitive reference
to the GCC open-source compiler.
Get up to date information on the latest features-including compiling Java code, building applications using multiple
languages, using the debugger, linking, libraries, and more. Softcover.
The first part delves into the reasons as to why? and what? regarding the
creation/use of GCC. It also covers some incentives to continue through the book, which are later examined in detail. Installation, configuration, and usage is covered here.
And covered quite well!
The second part details the mechanics of the compiler with tests and examples that take you through the workings of it.
Mixing of different languages into one native-executable, experiments and understanding of the compiler's built in extensions/pragmas, and demystification
of the command-line switches are all covered in this section. Also this section covers this in great detail as with the first part!
The third part of this book
gets right into the fun stuff of learning how to properly set up configuration and make files. It covers a *great* deal of extra resources commonly found on systems with GCC
installed and makes haste to demystify these as well.
This was my favorite part of the book. I had no idea in the nine hells to even begin creation of
'configure' scripts manually(try reading the man/info pages for make and autoconf and watch your hairs get pulled out by your hands!). This section is concise and to the
point!
Part 4 is an extremely important part of the book.
This part covers ALL of the command-line switches and directives for use
with GCC(and it's family of compilers).
You learn where, when, and how to use the advanced functionality.
A section in this part
also covers all the environmental variables; this helps greatly when you are trying to figure out a perfect function/class/struct/call to do a procedure that ends up taking
months...then you see here that a single variable contains actual data/info already!
All in all, this book is concise. I love it.
It
currently sits next to my Stroustrup(C++ Programming Language), Josuttis(C++ Standard Library), and Sedgewick(Algorithms in C++ 1-5). This book is upstanding.
The only reason as to why I gave it 4/5 stars is because of the formatting.
It reminds me of something you would find in a Prima Tech
"Game Programming" book: large font, bulky, and divided. This is not the authors fault though since this same tasteless formatting is used in all other Osborne "Complete
Reference" books.
NOTE: Do NOT get this book to learn C or C++. This book is for the intermediate to advanced programmer wanting to better optimize
their usage of the GCC package.
