C Optimizing Compilers (cont'd)
C Options
Green Hills C contains many specific language options so code can meet specific needs. These options add extensions or select aspects of the C language which are not defined by the language specification. These options include:

Ignore Duplicate #include - Ignores a #include directive if attempting to include a file already included.
Allow macros to be Re#defined - Suppresses the warning or error normally given when two #define directives provide different values for the same preprocessor symbol.
Allow Wrong #directives inside #if 0 - During preprocessing, lines inside of a false #if, #elif, #ifdef, or #ifndef are ignored.
No Warning for Incorrect #pragma - Suppresses warnings for errors in #pragma that are recognized by the compiler or are incorrect.
Allow #pragma asm and #pragma inline - Allows the use of #pragma asm, #pragma endasm, and #pragma inline in C source files.
No output for #ident or #pragma ident - Prevents the compiler from emitting an ident directive in the assembly language output or placing the same information in the .comment section when generating COFF or ELF object files directly.
Allow // style comments in C - Allows C++ style comments in C source code.
Concat 2 Symbols Separated by Comment - Allows /* */ as concatenation in K & R C.
Allow GNU Syntax Extensions - Supports GNU extensions, such as #import, zero size arrays, compound statements as part of expressions, inline functions, and the __inline__keyword.
Japanese Automotive C - Enables a set of extensions to ANSI C used by Japanese automobile manufacturers.
Allow extern to be Initialized - Allows variables declared with the extern storage class to accept initial values.
Disallow Old Fashioned Syntax - Does not recognize outdated syntax for initializing variables, such as int i 5; and for assignment operators like =+, =-, =*.
Allocate Small Enums as char or short - Allocates enumerated types to the smallest storage possible.
Truncate External Symbols - Truncate all symbol names to eight characters for compatibility with older compilers and linkers.
True Optimizing Compilers
Optimizations can significantly decrease program size and increase execution speed. Green Hills C Compilers typically apply more than 100 optimizations on each program, producing efficient code with a minimal footprint.
