START | NOSTART
Category
Object code control
Pragma equivalent
#pragma options(start) (C only), #pragma options(nostart) (C only)
Purpose
Generates a CEESTART, which is an object that controls initialization at execution, when necessary.
When the NOSTART compiler option is in effect, it indicates that CEESTART is never to be generated.
Syntax
Defaults
START
Usage
The usage status of this option is inserted in the object file to aid you in diagnosing a problem with your program.
IPA effects
If you specify the START option for any compilation unit in the IPA compile step, the compiler generates information for the IPA link step. This option also affects the regular object module if you request one by specifying the IPA(OBJECT) option.
The IPA link step uses the value of the START option that you specify for that step. It does not use the value that you specify for the IPA compile step.
Predefined macros
None.
