Arguments

name

Is the name of the Clang compiler to use. It can include the path where the Clang compiler is located.

Default

OFF

The compiler uses the PATH setting to find the Clang compiler and resolve environment settings.

Description

This option specifies the name of the Clang compiler that should be used to set up the environment for C compilations. If you do not specify a path, the compiler will search the PATH settings for the compiler name you provide.

This option is helpful when you are referencing a non-standard Clang installation.

The C++ equivalent to option -clang-name is -clangxx-name.

NOTE:

This option applies to the Intel compiler running in a CLANG environment. It does not apply to the Intel CLANG-based compiler.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

None

Example

If the following option is specified, the compiler looks for the Clang compiler named foobar in the PATH setting:

-clang-name=foobar

If the following option is specified, the compiler looks for the Clang compiler named foobar in the path specified:

-clang-name=/a/b/foobar
