NAME

       diet - mangle gcc command line arguments

SYNOPSIS

       diet [-v] [-Os] [normal gcc command line]

DESCRIPTION

       diet is a small wrapper around gcc or clang.  It will try to look at the command line you specify and try
       to  mangle it so that gcc/clang will compile against the diet libc header files and link against the diet
       libc itself.

       diet tries to be smart for cross compiling.  If the first argument is not gcc but  sparc-linux-gcc,  diet
       will  guess  that  you  want  to  cross  compile  for  sparc  and use bin-sparc/dietlibc.a instead of the
       dietlibc.a for your default architecture. This does not work yet for clang.

       The -v option will make diet print the modified gcc command line before executing it.

       When passed the -Os option before the gcc argument, diet will mangle the gcc options to include the  best
       known for-size optimization settings for the platform.

FILES

       ~/.diet/compiler  may  contain  compiler  options  as  you  would  specify them on the command line, i.e.
       separated by spaces.  Those will then be used instead of the built-in defaults for diet -Os.
