C++ Bare Bones: Difference between revisions

▲Note #3: The reasons for the disabling of exceptions, RTTI and the stack protector is because they usually require runtime support (which you in a basic kernel don't have). For a more thorough explanation, see the [[C++]] article. There is also an article about the [[GCC_Stack_Smashing_Protector|stack smashing protector]] if you want to enable -fstack-protector.

▲Note #4: The option -nostdlib is equivalent to passing both -nodefaultlibs and -nostartfiles. You just need to pass -nostdlib.

▲Note #5: Previous versions of this tutorial suggested passing the -fno-builtin option, but this is actually harmful as you most certainly want compiler builtins (without the __builtin_ prefix) as it lets the compiler understand your code better.
