Create Bound C Program (CRTBNDC)

Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No
Parameters
Examples
Error messages

The Create Bound C Program (CRTBNDC) command starts the ILE C compiler. You can use this command in either batch or interactive mode, or from a CL program. The compiler attempts to create a program object based on the ILE C statements in the source code. The full compilation sequence is always run.

Note: When the CRTBNDC command is invoked, a temporary *MODULE object is created in the QTEMP library. The name of the temporary module object is the same as the name you specified on the PGM parameter of the CRTBNDC command. If a *MODULE object with that name already exists in QTEMP, an error message is generated and compilation stops. The temporary module object, which is used with the CRTBNDC command, is deleted after compilation stops whether or not compilation is successful.

*NOEVENTF
Do not create an event file for use by CoOperative Development Environment/400 (CODE/400).
*EVENTF
Create an event file for use by CoOperative Development Environment/400 (CODE/400). The event file is created as a member in file EVFEVENT in the library where the module or program object being created will be stored. If the file EVFEVENT does not exist it is automatically created. The event file member name is the same as the name of the object being created. CODE/400 uses this file to provide error feedback integrated with the CODE/400 editor. An event file is normally created when you create a module or program object from within CODE/400.
*NOEXPMAC
Macros are not expanded in the listing unless a syntax error is encountered within the macro.
*EXPMAC
Expand all macros in the listing. This parameter conflicts with DBGVIEW(*ALL) and DBGVIEW(*LIST). Compilation will stop with an error message if OPTION(*EXPMAC) is used together with DBGVIEW(*ALL) or DBGVIEW(*LIST).

Top

Optimization (OPTIMIZE)

Specifies the levels of optimization of the generated object.

10
Generated code is not optimized. This level has the shortest compile time. This level allows variables to be displayed and modified while debugging.
20
Some optimization is performed on the code. This level allows user variables to be displayed but not modified while debugging.
30
Full optimization is performed on the generated code. During a debug session, user variables may not be modified but may be displayed. The presented values may not be the current value of the variable.
40
All optimizations done at level 30 are performed on the generated code. In addition, code is eliminated from procedure prologue and epilogue routines that enable instruction trace and call trace system functions. Eliminating this code enables the creation of leaf procedures. A leaf procedure is a procedure that contains no calls to other procedures. Procedure call performance to a leaf procedure is significantly faster than to a normal procedure.
Top

Inline options (INLINE)

Specifies whether the compiler should consider replacing a function call with the called function's instructions. Inlining a function eliminates the overhead of a call and can result in better optimization. Small functions that are called many times are good candidates for inlining.

Element 1: Inliner

Specifies whether or not inlining will be used.

*OFF
Specifies that inlining will not be performed on the compilation unit.
*ON
Specifies that inlining will be performed on the compilation unit. If a debug view is specified, the inliner is turned off.

Element 2: Mode

Specifies whether or not the inliner should attempt to automatically inline functions depending on their Threshold and Limit values.

*NOAUTO
Specifies that only the functions that have been specified with the #pragma inline directive should be considered candidates for inlining.
*AUTO
Specifies that the inliner should determine if a function can be inlined based on the Threshold and Limit values specified. The #pragma noinline directive overrides *AUTO.

Element 3: Threshold

Specifies the maximum size of a function that can be a candidate for automatic inlining. The size is measured in Abstract Code Units (ACUs). ACUs are proportional in size to the executable code in the function. Source code is translated into ACUs by the compiler.

250
Specifies a threshold of 250.
number-of-ACUs
Specifies a threshold from 1 to 65535 ACUs.
*NOLIMIT
Defines the threshold as the maximum size of the program object.

Element 4: Limit

Specifies the maximum relative size a function can grow before auto-inlining stops.

2000
Specifies a limit of 2000 ACUs.
*NOLIMIT
Limit is defined as the maximum size of the program object. System limits may be encountered.
number-of-ACUs
A limit from 1 to 65535 ACUs may be specified.

Element 5: Report

Specifies whether or not to produce an inliner report with the compiler listing.

*NO
The inliner report is not produced.
*YES
The inliner report is produced as part of the compiler listing. An OUTPUT option must be specified to produce the inliner report.
Top

Debugging view (DBGVIEW)

Specifies which level of debugging is available for the module in the created program object. It also specifies which source views are available for source level debugging. Requesting a debug view will turn inlining off.

*NONE
Debug capability is not inserted into the program object.
*ALL
Enables all of the debug options (*STMT, *SOURCE and *LIST)
*STMT
Allows the program object to be debugged using program statement numbers and symbolic identifiers.

Note: To debug a module object using the *STMT option you need a listing.

*SOURCE
Generates the source view for debugging the program object. OPTION parameter values *NOSHOWINC, *SHOWINC, *SHOWSYS, and *SHOWUSR determine the content of the source view created.

Note: In order to use this view for debugging, the root source file should not be modified, renamed or moved after the program object is created.

*LIST
Generates the listing view for debugging the program object. OPTION parameter values *SHOWINC, *SHOWUSR, *SHOWSYS, and *NOSHOWINC determine the content of the listing view created.
Top

Define names (DEFINE)

Specifies preprocessor macros that take effect before the file is processed by the compiler. Using the format DEFINE(macro) is equivalent to DEFINE('macro=1').

*NONE
No macro is defined.
'name' or 'name=value'
A maximum of 32 macros may be defined. Each macro name is enclosed in apostrophes. The maximum length of a macro name is 80 characters. The apostrophes are not part of the 80 character string. The apostrophes are required for case-sensitive macro names.

Note: Macros defined in the command override any macro definition of the same name in the source but a warning message is generated by the compiler. Function-like macros such as #define max(a,b) ((a)>(b):(a)?(b)) cannot be defined on the command line.

Top

Language level (LANGLVL)

Specifies the capabilities of the compiler and which prototypes are declared when the source is created.

*EXTENDED
Defines the preprocessor variable __EXTENDED__ and undefines other language-level variables. This parameter should be used when all the capabilities of ILE C are required.
*ANSI
Defines the preprocessor variables __ANSI__ and __STDC__ and undefines other language-level variables. Only ANSI-standard C is made available.

Note: The ILE C compiler always predefines the __ILEC400__ macro.

Top

*ADDRTAKEN
The program object will have its class of variables disjoint from pointers unless their address is taken.
*NOADDRTAKEN
The program object will not use the *ADDRTAKEN aliasing rules.
*ALLPTRS
The program object will not allow any two pointers to be aliased.
*NOALLPTRS
The program object will not use the *ALLPTRS aliasing rules.
*TYPEPTR
The program object will not allow any two pointers of different types to be aliased.
*NOTYPEPTR
The program object will not use the *TYPEPTR aliasing rules.
Top

System interface options (SYSIFCOPT)

Specifies which system interface options will be used for the module object being created. You can specify them in any order, separated by one or more blanks. When an option is specified more than once, or when two options conflict, the last one specified is used.

*NOIFSIO
The module object will use the iSeries Data Management file system for C stream I/O operations.
*IFSIO
The module object will use the Integrated File System for C stream I/O operations.
*IFS64IO
The module object will use the Integrated File System for 64-bit C stream I/O operations.
*NOASYNCSIGNAL
Does not enable runtime mapping of synchronous signalling functions to asynchronous signalling functions.
*ASYNCSIGNAL
Enable runtime mapping of synchronous signalling functions to asynchronous signalling functions. Specifying this option causes C runtime to map the synchronous signal() and raise() functions to the asynchronous sigaction() and kill() functions respectively.
Top

Locale object type (LOCALETYPE)

Specifies the type of locale support to be used by the program object being created.

*LOCALE
Program objects created with this option use the locale support provided by *LOCALE objects.
*LOCALEUCS2
Program objects created with this option use the locale support provided by *LOCALE objects. Wide-character types will contain two-byte universal character set values.
*CLD
Program objects created with this option use the locale support provided by *CLD objects.
*LOCALEUTF

Element 1: Message Limit

Specifies the maximum number of messages that can occur at, or above, the message severity level specified.

*NOMAX
Compilation continues regardless of the number of messages that have occurred at the message severity level specified.
message-limit
Specify the number of messages that can occur. The valid range is 0 to 32767.

Element 2: Message Severity

Specifies the message severity that can stop the compilation if the message-limit number of messages at the specified severity or above occur.

30
Specifies that a message-limit of messages at severity 30 can occur before compilation stops.
0
Specifies that a message-limit of messages at severity 0 or above can occur before compilation stops.
10
Specifies that a message-limit of messages at severity 10 or above can occur before compilation stops.
20
Specifies that a message-limit of messages at severity 20 or above can occur before compilation stops.
Top

Replace program object (REPLACE)

Specifies whether the existing version of the object will be replaced by the current version.

*YES
The existing object is replaced by the new version. The old version is moved to the QRPLOBJ library and renamed based on the system date and time. The text description of the replaced object is changed to the name of the original object. The old object is deleted at the next IPL if it has not been explicitly deleted.
*NO
The existing object is not replaced. When an object with the same name is found in the specified library, a message is displayed and compilation stops.
Top

User profile (USRPRF)

Specifies the user profile that is used when the created program object is run, including the authority that the program object has for each object. The profile of either the program owner or the program user is used to control which objects can be used by the program object.

*USER
The profile of the user running the program object is used.
*OWNER
The user profiles of both the program's owner and the program's user are used when the program object is processed. The collective sets of object authority in both user profiles are used to find and access objects during program processing. Authority from the owning user profile's group profile is not included in the authority for the running program object.
Top

Authority (AUT)

Specifies the authority granted to users who do not have specific authority to the object, who are not on the authorization list, or whose group has no specific authority to the object.

*LIBCRTAUT
Public authority for the object is taken from the CRTAUT keyword of the target library (the library that contains the created object). This value is determined when the object is created. When the CRTAUT value for the library changes after the object is created, the new value does not affect any existing objects in the library.
*ALL
Provides authority for all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by authorization list management authority. Any user can control the object's existence, specify the security for it, change it, and perform basic functions on it, including transfer its ownership.
*CHANGE
Provides all data authority and the authority to perform all operations on the object except those limited to the owner or controlled by object authority and object management authority. The object can be changed and basic functions can be performed on it.
*USE
Provides object operational authority; read authority; and authority for basic read-only operations on the object, such as binding of a module object. Users without specific authority are prevented from changing the object.
*EXCLUDE
Users without special authority cannot access the object.
authorization-list-name
Enter the name of an authorization list of users and authorities to which the object is added. The object is secured by this authorization list, and the public authority for the object is set to *AUTL. The authorization list must exist on the system when the command is issued.
Top

Target release (TGTRLS)

Specifies the release of the operating system on which the user intends to use the object being created.

In the examples given for the *CURRENT and *PRV values, and when specifying the release-level value, the format VxRxMx is used to specify the release, where Vx is the version, Rx is the release, and Mx is the modification level. For example, V4R5M0 is version 4, release 5, modification level 0.

*CURRENT
The object will be used on the release of the operating system currently running on the user's system. For example, if V4R5M5 is running on the system, *CURRENT means the user intends to use the object on a system with V4R5M5 installed. The user can also use the object on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

Note: If V4R5M5 is running on the system, and the object will be used on a system with V4R5M0 installed, specify TGTRLS(V4R5M0) not TGTRLS(*CURRENT).

*PRV
The object will be used on the previous release with modification level 0 of the operating system. For example, if V4R5M5 is running on the user's system, *PRV means the user intends to use the object on a system with V4R4M0 installed. The user can also use the object on a system with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.
release-level
Specify the release in the format VxRxMx. The object can be used on a system with the specified release or with any subsequent release of the operating system installed.

Valid values depend on the current version, release, and modification level. They change with each new release. If you specify a release level which is earlier than the earliest release level supported by this command, an error message is sent.

Top

Enable performance collection (ENBPFRCOL)

Specifies whether performance measurement code should be generated in the object. The data collected can be used by the system performance tool to profile an application's performance. Generating performance measurement code in a created object will result in slightly larger objects and may affect performance.

*PEP
Performance statistics are gathered on the entry and exit of the program entry procedure only. Choose this value when you want to gather overall performance information for an application.
*ENTRYEXIT *NONLEAF
Performance statistics are gathered on the entry and exit of all procedures of the program object that are not leaf procedures. This includes the program PEP routine.

This choice would be useful if you only wanted to capture information on those routines that invoke other routines in your application.

*ENTRYEXIT *ALLPRC
Performance statistics are gathered on the entry and exit of all the procedures of the program object (including those that are leaf procedures). This includes the program PEP routine.

This choice would be useful if you wanted to capture information on all routines. Use this option when you know that all the program objects called by your application were created with either the *PEP, *ENTRYEXIT or *FULL option. Otherwise, if your application calls other program objects that are not enabled for performance measurement, the performance tool will charge their use of resources against your application. This would make it difficult for you to determine where resources are actually being used.

*FULL *NONLEAF
Performance statistics are gathered on entry and exit of all procedures that are not leaf procedures. Also, statistics are gathered before and after each call to an external procedure.
*FULL *ALLPRC
Performance statistics are gathered on the entry and exit of all procedures including leaf procedures. Also statistics are gathered before and after each call to an external procedure.

Use this option when you think that your application will call other program objects that were not created with either *PEP, *ENTRYEXIT or *FULL. This option allows the performance tools to distinguish between resources that are used by your application and those used by program objects it calls (even if those program objects are not enabled for performance measurement). This option is the most expensive but allows for selectively analyzing various program objects in an application.

Performance options (PFROPT)

Specifies various options available to boost performance. You can specify them in any order, separated by one or more blanks. When an option is specified more than once, or when two options conflict, the last one specified is used.

The possible options are:

*SETFPCA
Causes the compiler to set the floating point computational attributes to achieve ANSI semantics for floating point computations.
*NOSETFPCA
No computational attributes will be set. This option should only be used when the object being created does not have any floating point computations in it.
*NOSTRDONLY
Specifies that the compiler must place strings into writeable memory.
*STRDONLY
Specifies that the compiler may place strings into read-only memory.
Top

Profiling data (PRFDTA)

Specifies the program profiling data attribute for the program object. Program profiling is an advanced optimization technique used to reorder procedures and code within the procedures based on statistical data (profiling data).

*NOCOL
The program object is not enabled to collect profiling data.
*COL
The program object is enabled to collect profiling data. *COL can be specified only when the optimization level is 30 or greater.
Top

Teraspace options (TERASPACE)

Specifies whether the program object is enabled to work with teraspace storage. This includes teraspace storage allocated by the program object and parameters passed from other teraspace-enabled program and service program objects.

Element 1: Teraspace Enabled

*NO
The program object is not enabled to handle addressing of storage allocated from teraspace.
*YES
The program object is enabled to handle addressing of storage allocated from teraspace, including parameters passed from other teraspace-enabled program and service program objects.

Element 2: Use Teraspace Interfaces

*NOTSIFC
The program object will default to use the non-teraspace versions of the storage functions.
*TSIFC
The program object will default to use the teraspace versions of the storage functions. The compiler will define macro variable __TERASPACE__.
Top

Storage model (STGMDL)

Specifies the type of storage to be used by the object created.

*SNGLVL
The object created will use single-level storage.
*TERASPACE
The object created will use teraspace storage.
Top

Data model (DTAMDL)

Specifies the sizes (in bytes) of variables declared as int, long, pointer.

*P128
Causes the sizes of int, long, pointer to be 4, 4, 16 respectively.
*LLP64
Causes the sizes of int, long, pointer to be 4, 4, 8 respectively. The compiler will define the macro __LLP64_IFC__.
Top

Pack structure (PACKSTRUCT)

Specifies the alignment boundary to use for members of a structure.

*NATURAL
Structure members are aligned on their natural boundaries. For example, a short integer will be two-byte aligned. 16-byte pointers will always align on 16-byte boundaries.
1
Pack structure members on a 1-byte alignment.
2
Pack structure members on a 2-byte alignment.
4
Pack structure members on a 4-byte alignment.
8
Pack structure members on a 8-byte alignment.
16
Pack structure members on a 16-byte alignment.
Top

Enum size (ENUM)

Specifies the number of bytes the compiler uses to represent an enumeration.

*SMALL
Make all enum variables the smallest size that can represent the range of values.
1
Make all enum variables 1 byte.
2
Make all enum variables 2 bytes.
4
Make all enum variables 4 bytes.
*INT
Use the ANSI-standard enum size, which is 4 bytes.
Top

Dependency information (MAKEDEP)

Specifies whether or not to generate dependency information into a file. This information can be used by a make tool.

*NONE
Do not generate dependency information.
'path-name'
Specify a path name for the stream file in which to store the dependency information.
Top

Include directory (INCDIR)

Specifies one or more directories to add to the search path used by the compiler to find include files. Use of INCDIR overrides the INCLUDE environment variable.

The search path can be further modified by using the following parameters on the OPTION keyword:

*NONE
Unless modified, the default system include directory and the source directory will be searched for user include files.
'directory'
Specify up to 32 directories in which to search for include files. In addition to the specified directories, the source directory is searched for user include files.
Top

Compiler services option (CSOPT)

Specifies one or more compiler service options. This parameter allows IBM to provide switchable compiler capability between releases.

*NONE
No compiler service option is selected.
'compiler-service-options-string'
The selected compiler service options are used when creating the module object. Valid strings will be described in PTF cover letters or in release notes.
Top

Licensed internal code options (LICOPT)

Specifies one or more Licensed Internal Code compile-time options. This parameter allows individual compile-time options to be selected, and is intended for the advanced programmer who understands the potential benefits and drawbacks of each selected type of compiler option.

The possible values are:

*NONE
No compile-time options are selected.
'Licensed-Internal-Code-options-string'
The selected Licensed Internal Code compile-time options are used when creating the module object. Certain options may reduce your ability to debug the created module object.
Top

Default char type (DFTCHAR)

Specifies the default sign for the char data type.

*UNSIGNED
Make default char type unsigned.
*SIGNED
Make default char type signed.
Top

Target CCSID (TGTCCSID)

Specifies the target coded character set identifier used to describe data stored into the resulting program object.

The possible values are:

*SOURCE
The root source file's CCSID is used.
*JOB
The current job's CCSID is used.
*HEX
The CCSID 65535 is used, which indicates that character data is treated as binary data and is not converted.
coded-character-set-identifier
Specify the CCSID to be used.
