save-temps, Qsave-temps

Tells the compiler to save intermediate files created during compilation.

Syntax

Linux:

-save-temps

-no-save-temps

Windows:

/Qsave-temps

/Qsave-temps-

Arguments

None

Default

Linux systems: -no-save-temps
Windows systems: .obj files are saved

On Linux systems, the compiler deletes intermediate files after compilation is completed.

On Windows systems, the compiler saves only intermediate object files after compilation is completed.

Description

This option tells the compiler to save intermediate files created during compilation. The names of the files saved are based on the name of the source file; the files are saved in the current working directory.

If option -save-temps (Linux) or option /Qsave-temps (Windows) is specified, the following occurs:

  • On Linux, the object .o file is saved.

  • On Windows, the .obj file object .o file is saved.

  • The assembler .s file (Linux) or .asm file (Windows) is saved if you specified the [Q]use-asm option.

  • The .i or .i90 file is saved if the fpp preprocessor is invoked.

If -no-save-temps is specified on Linux systems, the following occurs:

  • The .o file is put into /tmp and deleted after calling ld.

  • The preprocessed file is not saved after it has been used by the compiler.

If /Qsave-temps- is specified on Windows systems, the following occurs:

  • The .obj file is not saved after the linker step.

  • The preprocessed file is not saved after it has been used by the compiler.

NOTE:

This option only saves intermediate files that are normally created during compilation.

IDE Equivalent

None

Alternate Options

None

Example

If you compile program my_foo.F on a Linux system and you specify option -save-temps and option -use-asm, the compilation will produce files my_foo.o, my_foo.s, and my_foo.i.

If you compile program my_foo.fpp on a Windows system and you specify option /Qsave-temps and option /Quse-asm, the compilation will produce files my_foo.obj, my_foo.asm, and my_foo.i.
