NAME

       hipcc - HIP compiler driver

SYNOPSIS

       usage: hipcc [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hipcc script wraps clang or nvcc, depending on the value of the $HIP_PLATFORM reported by hipconfig.
       When building for the AMD platform, the options given to hipcc are passed through  to  clang.  The  hipcc
       script  adds  number  of  additional  options  to those explicitly given, including "-x hip" to force the
       compilation language  to  HIP,  "-O3"  when  no  optimization  level  is  otherwise  specified,  and  the
       autodetected target GPU architecture when no target has been otherwise specified.

ENVIRONMENT

       HIPCC_VERBOSE
              The  $HIPCC_VERBOSE  variable can enable additional output.  0x1 - the clang command being invoked
              0x2 - the paths to HIP components 0x3 - the arguments hipcc was called with

       HIPCC_COMPILE_FLAGS_APPEND
              The contents of $ HIPCC_COMPILE_FLAGS_APPEND are added to the end of the  argument  list  that  is
              passed to clang when compiling.

       The contents of
              $  HIPCC_LINK_FLAGS_APPEND  are added to the end of the argument list that is passed to clang when
              linking.

       DEVICE_LIB_PATH
              The $DEVICE_LIB_PATH variable is used to override the path to the rocm-device-libs.

       HIP_LIB_PATH
              The $HIP_LIB_PATH variable is used to override the path to the HIP Runtime library directory.

       HIP_CLANG_HCC_COMPAT_MODE
              The $HIP_CLANG_HCC_COMPAT_MODE variable is used to specify if clang should allow  half  floats  in
              arguments and return and if __HIP_HCC_COMPAT_MODE__ should be defined.

       HIP_CLANG_LAUNCHER
              The $HIP_CLANG_LAUNCHER variable specifies a path to an executable to use for launching HIP clang.
              This can be useful for making use of a compiler caching tool.
