C # Editor Csc.exe parameters detailed

CSC.exe has many parameters and switch options when compiling Visual C # program code into IL files. The correct understanding and application of these parameters and switches can sometimes solve seemingly intractable problems. Here is a table to outline the specific functions of these parameters and switches. These parameters and switch options are sorted alphabetically. Which with "*", is a number of commonly used parameters or switches.

Specific Description:
A @
This option is used to specify the response file. A response file is a file that contains a number of compilation options. These compilation options are handled by the compiler along with the source code files. Generally speaking, this kind of response file appears as a text file. His extension is. rsp. A comment that starts with a # symbol in the response file.
For example: The following is the content of a response file RESP1.RSP:
# This is a simple response file, the filename is called RESP1.RSP
#使用方法: csc @resp1. RSP
/target:exe/out:sample.exe Sample.cs
The function of this response file is to compile the Sample.cs file into a Sample.exe file. If you want to specify multiple response files in a compilation, you can specify multiple response file options, such as:
@file1. RSP @file2. RSP
Two /? and/help
This option should be needless to say, those who have used DOS programs will probably use this option.
Three /addmodule
This option is to enable the compiler to gather information of the type from the project that the user is compiling to the available files. All modules that have been added to the/addmodule must be in the same directory as the output file at run time. This means that the user can specify a module in any directory at compile time, but the module must be in the application directory at run time. The list of compilations cannot be included in the document. For example, if the output file is created with/taarget:module, its metadata can be imported with/addmodule.
Example: Add two modules to the MyProject.cs
Csc/addmodule:module1.dll;module2.dll MyProject.cs
Four /baseaddress
This option allows the user to specify the preferred address for loading the DLL, which can be decimal, 16, octal. The default preferred address for DLLs is set at the. NET Runtime. This option is ignored if the destination file is not a DLL file.
Example: MyLibrary.cs the compiler DLL file, and when the DLL is loaded in the. NET runtime environment, the address is 0x1111000
Csc/baseaddres:0x1111000/target:library MyLibrary.cs
Five /bugreport
This option is used to report compile-time error messages. Include the following in the report:
1. A copy of all source code in the compilation
2. All compilation options in the compilation
3. Compile information, including compiler, run time, operating system version information
4). Compiler output
5). Description of the problem
6. How to solve the problem description
Example: Generate a Bugs.txt file, and put the error report inside the file
Csc/bugreport:bugs.txt Hello.cs
Six /checked
This option specifies whether an integer evaluation statement that does not validate or not verify the scope of the keyword and causes a value that is outside the range of the data type produces a running exception. Specifically, if the value produced by an integer evaluation statement that is not in the validation or validation of the keyword range is outside the allowable range of the data type, and/checked+ (/checked) is used in the compilation, the statement will produce an exception at run time, if/checked-is used at compile time, The statement does not produce an exception at run time.
Example: Compiling MyMath.cs and specifying an integer evaluation statement that is not in the scope of the validation or validation of a keyword (and whose resulting value is outside the range of the data type) will cause an exception at run time.
Csc/checked+ MyMath.cs
Seven /codepage
If the user compiles one or more source code that does not use the default code page on the computer, you can use the/codepage option to specify the code page that you want to use. /codepage applies to all source code files in the compilation.
If the source code file is created in the same Code page location on the computer, or if the source code file is created with Unicode or UTF-8, the user does not need to use/codepage.
Eight /debug
This option is used during debugging, and when the debugger enables this option to debug its own program, a. pdb file is created and a variety of debugging information is written to this file. There are 2 options to specify the type of debugging:
/debug [+ +]: Elected with/debug + will create the. pdb file, and store the debug information inside;/debug-is a default setting that does not produce any debugging information.
/debug:[full/pdbonly]: When using/debug:full is to create default debugging information, a bit like the/debug+ option. The/debug:pdbonly option is to create a. pdb file, and you can only use source code debugging in the Debugging tools.
Example: Compiling Hello.cs and creating debug information for Hello.cs
csc/debug+ HelloWorld.cs
Nine /define
This option defines a symbol in the program, and he uses the #define preprocessor in the source program to indicate the same functionality, which remains in the defined state until the #undef indicator in the source file deletes the definition or the compiler has reached the end of the file. You can use/d shorthand instead.
Example: The following is the My.cs source program
Using System;
public class mybuild{
public static void Main () {
#if (Final)
Console.WriteLine ("Final Build");
#else
Console.WriteLine ("Trial Build");
#endif
}
}
If you compile with csc/define:final My.cs, the final build is displayed, and if there is no/define, then the compile execution will display the "Trial builds".
Ten /doc
Documents are becoming more and more important today, and a good program should have quite a lot of documentation. If you are using the "///" identifier in the document where you write the program, annotate it. When you compile with the/doc option, your annotation document will automatically remain in an XML file.
Example: The following is the My.cs source program
Using System;
///
This is a sample class that has some documentation
///
public class MyDocument {
///
Main entry point of the class
///
public static void Main (string[] argv)
{
Console.WriteLine ("A Sample Class");
}
}
Using the following compile statement produces a my.xml file to see what is stored in the My.xml file.
Csc/doc:my.xml My.cs
11./fullpaths
By default, compilation errors or warnings only indicate the name of the file where the error was found, and adding this option will show the full path when the compiler generates an error or warning. You can make the above My.cs program syntax wrong, and then use Csc/fullpaths My.cs and CSC My.cs separately compiled to see how the error hint is different.
12./incremental
This option is primarily to activate the incremental compiler, which compiles only those functions that have changed since the last compilation. If the/debug option is selected at compile time, the state of the debug information is stored in the corresponding. PDB file. In addition to this compile-time information is stored in the. incr file, the name of this. incr file is output_file_name.extension.incr. That is, if the output file is Out.exe, the corresponding incr file for this file is the out.exe.incr file.
Example: Compiling files with an incremental compiler
Csc/incremental/out:my.exe My.cs
If the compilation succeeds, it will produce 2 files, respectively: My.exe and MY.EXE.INCR.
13./linkresource
This option is created in the output file. NET resource. His shorthand is/linkres. Resource files are all the resources that are used in engineering files, such as pictures, sounds, and so on. This option simply establishes a link to the resource file, which helps manage programs that use the same resource without requiring multiple replicas. The specific syntax for this option is as follows:
/linkresource:filename,identifier,mimetype
which
FileName: is to establish a link. NET resource file
Identifier (optional): The logical name of the resource, which is used to load resources, and the default name is the file name.
MimeType (optional): is a string representing the media type of the resource. The default is empty.
Example: Create a link to reso.resource in a file
Csc/linkres:reso.resource MyResource.cs
14./main
When we compile two or more classes that have the main method, we can use this option to let the user specify the method in the final output file that uses that main.
Example: compiling two files, but the main method in the output file is from Main1 Class
csc MyMain1.cs mymain2.cs/main:main1
15./nologo
This option disables display of the start flag when the compiler starts and displays the report information during compilation.
Example:
Csc/nologo My.cs
16./nooutput
Compiles the file, but does not create any output files. Users can see any compilation errors and warnings.
Example:
Csc/nooutput My.cs
17./nostdlib
This option prohibits importing mscorlib.dll. This DLL contains the System namespace. This option is typically used when users want to use their own system namespaces.
Example: compiling a file but not importing MSCORLIB.DL
Csc/nooutput MyOutput.cs
18./nowarn
This option suppresses the specified warning type during compilation. If you are prohibiting multiple warning types, separate them with commas.
Example: Suppress warning types during compilation CS0108 and CS0109
csc/nowarn:108,109 Warn.cs
19./optimize
This option activates or disables optimizations performed by the compiler. The result of optimization is to make the output file smaller, faster, and more efficient. By default,/optimize performs optimizations, and if you choose/optimize-, you prohibit optimization. /O is a shorthand for/optimize.
Example: compiling files, and preventing optimizations
Csc/optimise-my.cs
20./Out
In the case where the output file is not specified, if the file is an EXE after compiling through the compiler, the output file obtains a name from the file containing the source code of the Main method, and if the compiled file is a DLL file, the name is obtained from the first source file. This option is available if the user wants to specify the output file name.
Example: Compiling the HelloWord.cs file and naming the output file as Hello.exe
Csc/out:hello.exe HelloWorld.cs
21./recurse
This option allows the user to compile all source code files in the specified directory or in a subdirectory of the engineering directory. The user can use wildcard characters to compile all matching files in the engineering directory.
Example: Compile all C # files in the/DIR1/DIR2 directory and its subdirectories, and generate Dir2.dll
Csc/target:library/out:dir2.dll/recurse:dir1\dir2\*.cs
22./refrence
This option enables the current compilation project to use the public type information in the specified file. This option is very important for beginners. The abbreviation for this option is/R. You must refer to all files imported using the "using" keyword in your program code, and if you use your own class library in your program, you must refer to it at compile time.
Example: compiling a file and referencing the file used in the program
Csc/r:system.dll;myexec.exe;mylibrary.dll MyProject.cs
(Note: One of the MyExec.exe and MyLibrary.dll created it himself)
23./target
This option is to tell the compiler what type of output file you want to get. Unless you use the/target:module option, the output files created by the other options contain the assembly list. The Assembly list stores information about all the files in the compilation. If multiple output files are generated on one command line, only one assembly list is created and stored in the first output file.
Here are 4 ways to use/target:
/target:exe to create an executable (EXE) console application
/target:library Create a code base (DLL)
/target:winexe Create a Windows program (EXE)
/target:module Create a module (DLL)
Example:
Csc/target:exe MyProj.cs//Create an EXE file
Csc/target:winexe myProject.cs file://Create a Windows program
Csc/target:library MyProject.cs file://Create a code base
Csc/target:module myProject.cs file://Create a module
24./resource
This option is just the opposite of/linkresource. His role is to put. NET resource files in the output file, parameters, usage and/linkresource are the same, the specific reference to the previous/linkresource options.
25./unsafe
This option tells the compiler to compile the file in unsafe mode
Example: Compiling My.cs in unsafe mode
Csc/unsafe My.cs
26./warn
Using this option is the level of warning that is used during the compilation process
Warning Level implications
0 Turn off all warnings
1 Show only severe warnings
2 Level 1 warnings and some not-so-serious warnings
3 level 2 warnings and some not very serious warnings
4 Level 3 Warning and informational warning
Example: compiling a file without displaying any errors
csc/warn:0 My.cs
27./warnaserror
Tell the compiler to treat all warnings as errors in the compilation. /warnaserror-is the default option, in which the warnings in compilation do not affect the output of the file. /warnaserror and/warnaserror+ are the same.
Example: Compiling a file and taking warnings as errors in the compilation
Csc/warnaserror Myj.cs
28./win32icon
Inserts an icon file (. ico) into the output file. The file identified with this icon is visible in the resource manager in Windows.
Example:
Csc/win32icon:myicon.ico My.cs
29./win32res
Adds a Win32 resource file to the output file. This resource file includes version information or bitmap (icon) information for the user application. If the user does not specify/win32res, the compiler generates version information from the assembly version.
Example: Add a Win32 resource file to the output file
Csc/win32res:winrf.res Mt.cs
These are all the options that Csc.exe in compiling the C # file. Understanding and mastering these options is sometimes very useful for us to program.
