Bug ID: 87758
Summary: --print-file-name= ignores -L
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: John.Ericson at Obsidian dot Systems
Target Milestone: ---
Not respecting -L makes for confusing behavior. I'm surprised there was no
issue for this before, as this behavior is probably quite old.
--print-prog-name= likewise doesn't use PATH, but at least in that case gcc
will also use just -B to find as/ld, so this is honest. [I take some issue with
ignoring PATH, but that is a separate issue.]
A --print-include-name= using -I (and maybe variants for -isystem, and -iquote)
would also be useful primitives.
