Go Up to Delphi Compiler


Project > Options > Building > Delphi Compiler > Output - C/C++

Allows you to specify the C/C++ output from the Delphi compiler (exactly what the Delphi compiler is to output and the directory for the output).

By default, the Delphi compiler generates all C++Builder files (not just the .dcu files), including the required Delphi files. The only other option that generates the necessary Delphi portions is Generate DCUs. Use the C/C++ Output file generation option to specify the files you want to output.

Output Option Description Compiler switches All platforms supported unless noted

C/C++ .bpi output directory (package import libraries)

Specifies the output directory for the package import libraries (.bpi) for use in C++ projects. Click the ellipsis [...] to open a Browse for Folder dialog box.

‑NB

  • 32‑bit Windows
  • 64‑bit Windows
  • macOS 

C/C++ .hpp output directory

Specifies the output directory for the C++ header files (.hpp).

‑NH

C/C++ .obj/.lib output directory

Specifies the output directory for the C++ object (.obj, .o) and static library (.lib, .a) files.

‑NO

C/C++ Output file generation

Specifies the files that are to be output by the Delphi compiler.

Note: For Delphi packages, only two choices are offered:
  • Generate DCUs (appropriate when you do not plan to use the package from C++)
  • Generate all C++Builder files (including package libs)

Click the down-arrow to display the choices:

  • 32‑bit Windows
  • 64‑bit Windows
  • macOS 

Generate DCUs only

Generates the package and associated .dcu and .dcp files.

Generate C .objs

Creates a C object file for linking with a C program (no name mangling).

‑J

Generate C++ .objs

Creates a C++ object file for linking with C++ (uses C++ name mangling).

‑JP

Generate C++ .objs, headers

Generates a header file (.hpp) and an object file (.obj)

‑JPH

Generate C++ .objs, headers, namespaces

Includes C++ namespace information in the .obj and .hpp files generated.

‑JPHN

Generate C++ .objs, headers, namespaces, export

Includes all symbol information in the .obj and .hpp files generated.

‑JPHNE

Generate C++ .objs, namespaces

Includes C++ namespace information in the .obj files generated. This is the default for mixed Delphi and C++ projects.

‑JPN

Generate C++ .objs, namespaces, export

Includes C++ namespace and symbol information in the .obj files generated.

‑JPNE

Generate C++ .objs, headers, exports

Includes symbol information in the generated object (.obj) and header (.hpp) files.

‑JPHE

Generate C++ .objs, exports

Includes symbol information in the generated object (.obj) files.

‑JPE

Generate all C++Builder files (including package libs) *

Generates the package and all Delphi pieces, along with all necessary header files (.hpp), package import library file (.bpi), and package static library file (.lib, .a) for C++ projects. This is the default in desktop platforms.

‑JL

Generate .hpp file.

Generates a header file (.hpp). It is set to True by default.
