"g++ --verbose" - GCC Compiler Steps and Settings

This section provides a tutorial example on how to dump GCC compiler steps and settings using the 'g++ --verbose' command option.

If you are running into issues with the GCC C++ compiler, you may want to use the "g++ --verbose" to dump all current settings from the compiler.

herong$ g++ --verbose hello.cpp

...
Target: x86_64-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --enable-bootstrap --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,lto ...

/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/cc1plus -quiet -v -D_GNU_SOURCE hello.cpp
   -quiet -dumpbase hello.cpp -mtune=generic -march=x86-64 -auxbase hello -version
   -o /tmp/cceaNqFM.s
ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/include-fixed"
ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/x86_64-redhat-linux/include"

#include <...>  search starts here:

as -v --64 -o /tmp/ccGgvc09.o /tmp/cceaNqFM.s

COMPILER_PATH=/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/: ...
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/:...

/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/collect2 -plugin \
   /usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/liblto_plugin.so ...

So the "g++" command actually runs 3 commands: cc1plus, as, collect2.
