ccWrapper Sample: Demonstrates How to Map C/C++ Compiler Flags from Other Compilers to Visual C++

  • Article

ccWrapper shows how to programmatically map flags from other compilers to the Visual C++ compiler. The included configuration file is used only as an example, not as an official way of showing how the flags map from one architecture to another, and is configurable so that you can change the configuration. For more information, see the README.htm file.
