qactypes, Qactypes

Tells the compiler to include the Algorithmic C (AC) data type folder for header searches and link to the AC data types libraries for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and CPU compilations.

Syntax

Linux:

-qactypes

Windows:

/Qactypes

Arguments

None

Default

OFF

The compiler does not search the Algorithmic C (AC) data type folders for headers and doesn’t link to AC data type libraries for FPGA and CPU compilations. As a result, AC data types cannot be used in the source program.

Description

This option tells the compiler to include the Algorithmic C (AC) data type folder when searching for headers, and to link to the AC data types libraries for Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and CPU compilations.

AC data types provide support for arbitrary precision integers, fixed precision integers and arbitrary precision floating-point data types. They are built on top of the _ExtInt extended-integer type class.

When you specify option [q or Q]actypes, dynamic linking is the default. You cannot link to the AC data type libraries statically.

Linux

The driver must add the library names explicitly to the link command. You must use option -qactypes to perform the link to pull in the dependent libraries.

Windows

This option adds directives to the compiled code, which the linker then reads without further input from the driver. You do not need to specify a separate link command.

NOTE:

This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation.
