Syntax


>>- -MF--file_path---------------------------------------------><

Defaults

If -MF is not specified, the dependency output file is generated with the same name as the object file but with a .u suffix in the current working directory.

Parameters

file_path: The target output path. file_path can be a full directory path or file name. If file_path is the name of a directory, the dependency file generated by the compiler is placed into the specified directory. If you do not specify a directory, the dependency file is stored in the current working directory.

Usage

If the file specified by -MF option already exists, it will be overwritten.

If you specify a single file name for the -MF option when you compile multiple source files, only a single dependency file will be generated. The dependency file contains the make rule for the last file specified on the command line.
