<use>
<flag name="ada">Build the ADA language (GNAT) frontend</flag>
<flag name="cet" restrict=">=sys-devel/gcc-10">
Enable support for Intel Control Flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
Only effective on amd64/x86.
Only provides benefits on newer CPUs. For Intel, the CPU
must be at least as new as Tiger Lake. For AMD, it must be
at least as new as Zen 3. This is harmless on older CPUs,
but provides no benefit either.
When combined with USE=hardened, GCC will set -fcf-protection
by default when building software. The effect is minimal
on systems which do not support it, other than a possible
small increase in codesize for the NOPs. The generated
code is therefore compatible with i686 at the earliest.
</flag>
<flag name="d">Enable support for the D programming language</flag>
<flag name="default-stack-clash-protection">
Build packages with stack clash protection on by default as
a hardening measure.
This enables -fstack-clash-protection by default which protects against
large memory allocations allowing stack smashing.
May cause slightly increased codesize, but modern compilers
have been adapted to optimize well for this case, as
this mitigation is now quite common.
See https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2020/05/22/stack-clash-mitigation-in-gcc-part-3
and https://www.qualys.com/2017/06/19/stack-clash/stack-clash.txt.
</flag>
<flag name="default-znow">
Request full relocation on start from ld.so by default.
This sets the -z,now (BIND_NOW) flag by default on all linker invocations. By
resolving all dynamic symbols at application startup, parts of the program
can be made read-only as a hardening measure.
This is closely related to RELRO which is also separately
enabled by default.
In some applications with many unresolved symbols (heavily plugin based,
for example), startup time may be impacted.
</flag>
<flag name="fixed-point">Enable fixed-point arithmetic support for MIPS targets in gcc (Warning: significantly increases compile time!)</flag>
<flag name="go">Build the GCC Go language frontend.</flag>
<flag name="graphite">Add support for the framework for loop optimizations based on a polyhedral intermediate representation</flag>
<flag name="ieee-long-double">Use accelerated 128-bit IEEE long double ABI (ppc64le only)</flag>
<flag name="jit">Enable libgccjit so other applications can embed gcc for Just-In-Time compilation.</flag>
<flag name="libssp">Build SSP support into a dedicated library rather than use the code in the C library (DO NOT ENABLE THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT DOES)</flag>
<flag name="lto">
Build using Link Time Optimizations (LTO).
Note that GCC is always built with support for building
other programs with LTO. This USE flag is for whether
GCC itself is built and optimized with LTO.
</flag>
<flag name="mpx">Enable support for Intel Memory Protection Extensions (MPX)</flag>
<flag name="nptl">Enable support for Native POSIX Threads Library, the new threading module (requires linux-2.6 or better usually)</flag>
<flag name="objc">Build support for the Objective C code language</flag>
<flag name="objc++">Build support for the Objective C++ language</flag>
<flag name="objc-gc">Build support for the Objective C code language Garbage Collector</flag>
<flag name="pgo">
Build GCC using Profile Guided Optimization (PGO).
GCC will build itself and then analyze the just-built
binary and then rebuild itself using the data obtained
from analysis of codepaths taken.
It does not affect whether GCC itself supports PGO
when building other software.
This substantially increases the build time needed for
building GCC itself.
</flag>
<flag name="rust">Build support for the Rust language, installs gccrs.</flag>
<flag name="sanitize">
Build support for various sanitizer functions (ASAN/TSAN/etc...)
to find runtime problems in applications.
</flag>
<flag name="ssp">Build packages with stack smashing protection on by default</flag>
<flag name="systemtap">enable systemtap static probe points</flag>
<flag name="valgrind">Enable valgrind annotations for gcc internals (useful for gcc debugging).</flag>
<flag name="vtv">
Build support for virtual table verification (a C++ hardening feature).
This does not control whether GCC defaults to using VTV>
Note that actually using VTV breaks ABI and hence the whole
system must be built with -fvtable-verify.
</flag>
