28.4 Link options

The following options control the behavior of linker. All options in this category also affects the interactive session.

-l$library$

Link with the specified library. In interactive session, this option allows the user to import functions in the given library interactively.

-L$dir$

Add the directory $dir$ to the library search path. If more than two -L options are specified, it searches for libraries in the given order.

-nostdlib

Search for libraries only in directories specified by -L options.

-c++

Use C++ compiler driver instead of C compiler driver for linking. This is needed to link a SML# program with C++ libraries.

-Wl $args$, -Xlinker $arg$

Add $arg$s to the additional arguments to be passed to the C/C++ compiler driver command when linking. $args$ of -Wl is a comma-separated list of arguments. -Xlinker specifies just one argument. If more than two of them are specified, all of them are passed to C/C++ compiler driver command in the given order.

-filemap $filename$

Use $filename$ as the map of filenames that the compiler uses for searching for files. The smlsharp command attempts to obtain object file name by replacing the .smi suffix of a .smi file with .o. By specifying this option, you can change this correspondence. Each line of the given file must be a = sign followed by a filename that the compiler generates followed by its corresponding file, separated by white-spaces. The map file must contain all files that would be visited by the compiler. If a file not in the map file is needed, it causes an error.
