Output - C/C++

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.			iOS Device (64-bit)
