NAME
castxml - Create an XML representation of C++ declarations
SYNOPSIS
castxml ( <castxml-opt> | <clang-opt> | <src> )...
DESCRIPTION
Options interpreted by castxml are listed below. Remaining options are given to the internal
Clang compiler.
OPTIONS
--castxml-cc-<id> <cc>
--castxml-cc-<id> "(" <cc> <cc-opt>... ")"
Configure the internal Clang preprocessor and target platform to match that of the given compiler
command. The <id> must be "gnu", "msvc", "gnu-c", or "msvc-c". <cc> names a compiler (e.g.
"gcc") and <cc-opt>... specifies options that may affect its target (e.g. "-m32").
--castxml-output=<v>
Write castxml-format output to <src>.xml or file named by '-o' The <v> specifies the "epic" format
version number to generate, and must be '1'.
--castxml-gccxml
Write gccxml-format output to <src>.xml or file named by '-o' Use this option if you need an
output similar to the one generated by the legacy gccxml tool.
--castxml-start <name>[,<name>]...
Start AST traversal at declaration(s) with the given (qualified) name(s). Multiple names may be
specified as a comma-separated list or by repeating the option.
-help, --help
Print castxml and internal Clang compiler usage information
-o <file>
Write output to <file>
--version
Print castxml and internal Clang compiler version information
Help for the internal Clang compiler appears below.

size (and any type), as well as any calls to alloca or the taking of an address from a local
variable
-fstack-protector
Enable stack protectors for some functions vulnerable to stack smashing. This uses a loose
heuristic which considers functions vulnerable if they contain a char (or 8bit integer) array or
constant sized calls to alloca , which are of greater size than ssp-buffer-size (default: 8
bytes). All variable sized calls to alloca are considered vulnerable. A function with a stack
protector has a guard value added to the stack frame that is checked on function exit. The guard
value must be positioned in the stack frame such that a buffer overflow from a vulnerable variable
will overwrite the guard value before overwriting the function's return address. The reference
stack guard value is stored in a global variable.
