fpie

Tells the compiler to generate position-independent code. The generated code can only be linked into executables.

Syntax

Linux:

-fpie

macOS:

None

Windows:

None

Arguments

None

Default

OFF

The compiler does not generate position-independent code for an executable-only object.

Description

This option tells the compiler to generate position-independent code. It is similar to -fpic, but code generated by -fpie can only be linked into an executable.

Because the object is linked into an executable, this option causes better optimization of some symbol references.

To ensure that run-time libraries are set up properly for the executable, you should also specify option -pie to the compiler driver on the link command line.

Option -fpie can also be specified as -fPIE.
