6.. envvar:: CPATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH
7
8 .. Commented out until ObjC++ is part of GCC:
9 @itemx OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
10
11 Each variable's value is a list of directories separated by a special
12 character, much like :envvar:`PATH`, in which to look for header files.
13 The special character, ``PATH_SEPARATOR``, is target-dependent and
14 determined at GCC build time. For Microsoft Windows-based targets it is a
15 semicolon, and for almost all other targets it is a colon.
16
17 :envvar:`CPATH` specifies a list of directories to be searched as if
18 specified with :option:`-I`, but after any paths given with :option:`-I`
19 options on the command line. This environment variable is used
20 regardless of which language is being preprocessed.
21
22 The remaining environment variables apply only when preprocessing the
23 particular language indicated. Each specifies a list of directories
24 to be searched as if specified with :option:`-isystem`, but after any
25 paths given with :option:`-isystem` options on the command line.
26
27 In all these variables, an empty element instructs the compiler to
28 search its current working directory. Empty elements can appear at the
29 beginning or end of a path. For instance, if the value of
30 :envvar:`CPATH` is ``:/special/include``, that has the same
31 effect as :samp:`-I. -I/special/include`.

35 See also :ref:`search-path`.

37.. index:: dependencies for make as output
38
39.. envvar:: DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT
40
41 If this variable is set, its value specifies how to output
42 dependencies for Make based on the non-system header files processed
43 by the compiler. System header files are ignored in the dependency
44 output.
45
46 The value of :envvar:`DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT` can be just a file name, in
47 which case the Make rules are written to that file, guessing the target
48 name from the source file name. Or the value can have the form
49 :samp:`{file}{target}`, in which case the rules are written to
50 file :samp:`{file}` using :samp:`{target}` as the target name.
51
52 In other words, this environment variable is equivalent to combining
53 the options :option:`-MM` and :option:`-MF`
54
55 .. only:: cpp
56
57 (see :ref:`invocation`),
58
59 .. only:: not cpp
60
61 (see :ref:`preprocessor-options`),
62
63 with an optional :option:`-MT` switch too.
64
65.. index:: dependencies for make as output
66
67.. envvar:: SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES
68
69 This variable is the same as :envvar:`DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT` (see above),
70 except that system header files are not ignored, so it implies
71 :option:`-M` rather than :option:`-MM`. However, the dependence on the
72 main input file is omitted.
73
74 .. only:: cpp
75
76 See :ref:`invocation`.
77
78 .. only:: not cpp
79
80 See :ref:`preprocessor-options`.
81
82.. envvar:: SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
83
84 If this variable is set, its value specifies a UNIX timestamp to be
85 used in replacement of the current date and time in the ``__DATE__``
86 and ``__TIME__`` macros, so that the embedded timestamps become
87 reproducible.
88
89 The value of :envvar:`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` must be a UNIX timestamp,
90 defined as the number of seconds (excluding leap seconds) since
91 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 represented in ASCII; identical to the output of
92 ``date +%s`` on GNU/Linux and other systems that support the
93 ``%s`` extension in the ``date`` command.
94
95 The value should be a known timestamp such as the last modification
96 time of the source or package and it should be set by the build
3ed1b4ce 97 process.
