Why impossible?
Because devs of gnu ld.so were inconsistent or for other reasons?

Because to do so, you would need to modify and rebuild your application.

Exporting LD_DEBUG before you start the application requires no
changes to the application - and given the RTLD isn't technically
part of the application and most developers don't build their
own RTLD, it doesn't make sense to include run-time loader debugging
capabilities in applications.

The question was about possibilty to call your app via "ld.so myapp
-relevant-flags". Or, may be, via gdb. Or some other utility of that
sort. The field is completely alien to me, so I can easily miss
something.

Why?   Leaving aside the difficulty of disambiguating flags for
the app from flags for ld.so before starting the app, LD_DEBUG
works great and there is no reason to change it.

Out of prnciples like:
- when you do something atomically it is less likely to bite your a*s
  then the same thing done via several steps.
- stateless preferable over stateful.

Yes, both reasons are too abstract, I know.

One can use modules:

$ type gcc
gcc is a tracked alias for /usr/bin/gcc
$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0
Copyright (C) 2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

$ module load gcc/11.3
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 11.3.0

$ type gcc
gcc is a tracked alias for /nfs/asim/Software/bin/gcc-11.3.0/bin/gcc

Generally when supporting multiple gcc releases, you'll also need
multiple binutils releases (in case the compiler generates newer
assembler instructions that aren't supported in older versions of
as(1)).

Keith has explained many times that the GNU Compiler development team
develops for Unix, not Windows.   Unix doesnt have DLLs (it does have
shared objects, which IMO are superior to windows DLLs).

On Ubuntu, the "module" command isn't installed by default.  You can
install it via the "environment-modules" package.  (I've used it
on SGI and Cray systems, where it originated, but not on Ubuntu,
and not in the last couple of decades or so.)

touch empty.c
gcc -E -v empty.c

That will show you, amongst other things, the default include paths.  On 
my system, it shows :

#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/13/include
  /usr/local/include
  /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
  /usr/include
End of search list.

It is also where using a decent OS appropriate for the task is even easier.

I copy gcc setups between systems (albeit cross-compilation toolchains). 
  It's easy with scp, sshfs, rsync, network shares, or a USB stick.  The 
cheapest USB drives I can find from my usual IT supplier are 32 GB - the 
biggest toolchain I have is about 1.2 GB for everything.  The same 
applies to Linux and Windows.

Sure, the process would be faster if the toolchain directories were 
smaller, but I only need to do it once or twice a year for new versions.

The only time things are difficult is when some idiot device 
manufacturer thinks their Windows version should use an installer 
program that screws with the registry, environment variables or system 
paths.

I got a lot more output than that. Then I noticed you said 'amongst 
other things'. So -v does not produce less output than --verbose!

On my C compiler I used to have an option -paths which listed all the 
include paths it would use.

I'm surprised that gcc, amongst it 1000s of options, doesn't have a 
dedicated one for this.

Amazingly, my own tools would still fit on one 1.44MB floppy - uncompressed.

I think the approach you and others use now is to manage bloat and 
complexity, or somehow hide it away under additional layers, rather than 
do anything about it.

And the approach to keep things moving is to add extra hardware. If that 
doesn't work then avoid recompiling anything if at all possible!

Mine are to actually keep things simple, and to keep on top of raw speed.

The problem with not doing anything about complexity is that probably no 
one knows how it all works. So when it goes wrong...

Yes.  You might think it strange, but I only posted the relevant lines 
here.  There were a total of 31 lines from that command - it was not 
difficult to spot the ones relevant to the include paths.

I've never needed to see the list of paths before - they are all 
entirely obvious and standard, and "just work".  Why would a compiler 
need to add a specific option for something that is rarely required and 
where there is a simple and fairly obvious common option ("-v", or 
"--verbose") to get the information?

My approach is to care about things that are worth caring about, and not 
bother about things that are not worth bothering about.

I need tools that do the job I need them to do.

I don't need "as small as possible" - I need "small enough that their 
size is not an inconvenience".  I don't need "as fast as possible" - I 
need "fast enough that their speed is not an inconvenience".  Small 
enough is small enough.  Fast enough is fast enough.  After that, 
smaller or faster is irrelevant and not part of the consideration for 
picking a tool.

On the other hand, slightly better code optimisation can mean longer 
battery life, smaller and cheaper hardware, or more functionality in my 
program.  A bit more static error checking can mean bugs caught during 
development and building, rather than during testing or after 
deployment.  Better standards conformance can mean more portable code 
and easier testing, support for newer standards and useful extensions 
means more expressive, re-usable or maintainable source code, better 
optimisation, and more static error checking.

I do software development.  I don't spend my days copying compilers to 
floppy disks or trying to run tools on systems from last century.  I am 
not interested in how quickly a compiler can compile an almost-empty 
test file, 50 times sequentially.  I don't care if "bcc test.c" runs 
faster than "gcc test.c" when "bcc test.c" is no more use to me than 
"cat test.c > /dev/null".

By all means, play with your "benchmarks" if you enjoy doing so.  But 
stop expecting anyone else to care.

Always making excuses for gcc! I get 37 lines from it, but because many 
are long and wrap, my screen shows over 85 lines, with 25 of them 
scrolling off the top of the window. It looks a mess.

Yeah, everything 'just works' for you. But if ever it reports it can't 
find some header, you will want to know:

(1) The list of locations that it will be looking

(2) All the locations it's checked (this is not necessarily the
     same list; see my last post)

That option is next to useless because it buries what you need in a 
mountain of junk.

Maybe you do get it after all. Using smaller, simpler, faster tools 
gives all those advantages too.

It's a shame you don't see language tools in the same light as some of 
your applications.

A better language can also do that!

So do I, but I develop experimental language tools. You want to get your 
applications (it will be more embedded systems stuff I expect) as small 
and efficient as possible.

I do too.

Come on, I sure you know what is involved in benchmarking. You often 
have to isolate some part if looking for a the bottleneck.

But in this case the point of the test was to measure the impact of a 
large header used across a sizeable number of modules.

This is the RAW impact. All that YOU can do, and are interested in, is 
in mitigating that (more cores, avoid recompiling etc).

But I am interested in reducing that raw overhead.

This is the funny thing I've discovered when discussing compilers elsewhere:

* When a compiler builds an app then the speed of that app is the most
   important thing in the world, no matter what the app is ...
* ... unless the app is a compiler. Then its speed is the least
   important thing in the world!

So, you care about your apps being fast; I care about /my/ apps being 
fast. Even for language tools, as they open up interesting new ways of 
working as well as being an interesting endeavour in itself.Now, it 
could be that there is some gross inefficiency in your tools that no one 
spotted, if everyone is as incurious and as tolerant as you.

One way of telling is if there was an alternative product that does the 
same thing faster.

Before you tell me that your prefered tool does that much more, remember 
the examples I gave of assemblers with a 10:1 disparity between fastest 
and slowest. There is no deep analysis or opimisation there. Some tools 
are just Slow.

If gcc had a flag to show the include paths, and nothing but the include 
paths, you'd complain that you had to read through piles of 
documentation to find it.  It does not seem to matter what inane, 
pointless task you and you alone think is vital, your life seems to 
revolve around saying that gcc is bad in every way.  So what's next? 
gcc is a terrible tool because you find it harder to type "gcc" than "bcc" ?

Sometimes you have sane points about weaknesses in C, or things that 
could be improved in gcc, clang, and other tools - or at least, they 
were sane points the first time you raised them rather than the 
hundredth time.  But this moan is pathetic even by your standards.


Oh, and does your fantastic OS not have scrollbars to see more lines of 
output?  Are you stuck with terminal windows limited to 80 characters 
wide, just like we all used last century?  Do you not know how to use 
the "less" command? (Oh, wait, "less" is only 42 years old - we could 
not expect Windows to have caught up with such basic tools in that time. 
  But you can use "more".)

Learn to use a computer for software development, and stop bleating when 
you actually have to lift a finger!  Of course I have occasionally had a 
compile fail because my code references a missing header.  When it 
happens I either find the header, or fix the typo in my code.  We are 
not doing brain surgery here.

If you can't program in C, and can't use normal C compilers, that's 
/your/ problem.  Millions of others manage to use gcc for C programming. 
  Start facing the reality that it is /you/ who is doing something 
wrong, not the rest of the world.

And /why/ is it a shame?  In all your endless posts, you have never 
given a reason why it should matter to me.

More mitigation. Do you ever stop giving excuses for poor software?

Somebody needs some a few lines of info from a program, but the tool 
buries it in 1000 lines of output, and your suggestion is to just to 
scroll up and down trying to find it?

Anything but fix the problem!

I mentioned in another post about Clang choosing to write error messages 
/in the same colour/ as my console background.

It also likes to generate LOTS of messages. So scrolling here wouldn't help.

gcc has its own problems: only the name of failing program is invisible, 
but for the rest, it annoying changes my background colour to black and 
does not restore it.

You'd think major tools like these wouldn't be so brain-dead.

It's not hard to do these checks and to restore original settings.

But if it there was a dedication option for it, you'd use it? Maybe that 
info can be listed at the same time it reports the missing header.

See, creating a more friendly compiler is easy! But, no, it's better 
that a million programmers have to mess around even if it's not brain 
surgery.

If I do 'gcc -v hello.c' it produces 6724 bytes of output (remember this 
is a mess of wrapped lines).

The relevant info is 367 bytes of that, so about 95% of the output was 
irrelevant junk.

Hardly exaggerating.

What ****ing problem?  You are talking about something that virtually no 
C programmer ever bothers doing, and anyone who needs to ask their 
compiler about the include paths only ever needs to do so /once/.  There 
were 31 lines - not a 1000 - and the relevant lines are blindingly 
obvious in the output.  If it took you more than a second or two to spot 
them, you should get a better screen or a better pair of glasses.  Get 
over your paranoia and your egoism - compiler vendors (and compiler 
users) are not all dedicated to causing you trouble, and they don't all 
have to revolve around trying to support whatever daft uses and misuses 
you want to make of their tools.

If only there were a simple way to change these for people who don't 
like the defaults (which were probably picked to fit the extremely 
common choice of black background in terminal windows).  If only there 
were a simple way to change the background colour of your console.  If 
only there were a simple website that could help you find out how to 
change these colours by typing in a question, and copying out the 
answers it gives you.  But no, you don't want answers, or help - you 
want to cry about how tools that are fine for countless other developers 
are not fine-tuned exactly to your personal preferences.

And yes, I am being patronising - stop acting like a spoiled child, and 
I will stop being patronising.

There were 85 lines that scrolled up the screen.

But if it was 1000, then so what: your suggestion to use the scrollbar 
would still work, yes?

That info is also presented appallingly. What's wrong with blank lines 
to separate the different sections?

And what's with the super-long lines that are guaranteed to wrap? The 
two longest lines are 1700-1800 characters.

It's a joke, seriously. My own diagnostics are better, but they would 
not be good enough for a professional product.

And you continue making excuses for poor software.

Are you seriously suggesting that, each time I run some console program, 
I should change my screen background colour in order to be able to see 
its messages? Each program make might choose a different colour!

Or even that I have to investigate every such program to change its 
default colours? They should Just Work.

It's a bug; not a serious one, it's more amusing/incredulous, but still 
a bug.

 > If only there were a simple way to change the background colour

If only there was a way of avoiding text that would inadvertently 
clashes with the screen background.

 > want to cry about how tools that are fine for countless other developers

By luck apparently; presumably they manage to avoid colour 0xC0C0C0 or 
something near for their background.

People here are always on about making assumptions, so why assume a 
black background /in a system where the background colour can be chosen 
by the user/? The choice of light grey isn't that great for a white 
background either.

    May be you can code a patch who fix the^Wyour problem, and
    send it to the Gcc team ? Any positive contribution is
    benefit to all of us.

I'm not interested in gcc. I have my own solutions.

This is just one more annoying thing about that program. The issue here 
is that nobody is daring to criticise its crass behaviours, while trying 
to deflect issues onto users.

Its crassness starts here:

   c:\c>gcc
   gcc: fatal error: no input files
   compilation terminated.

Most command-line compilers give you version and help info when no 
parameters follow. But at least it says something; try this:

   c:\c\as

and it apparently hangs (it's waiting for you type an assembly program 
from the console!)

How did programs which work like some student's crude first console app 
ever make it into the wild?

Yes, you are.

There are plenty of things I'm not interested in.  I express my
lack of interest by not talking about them.  You talk about gcc a
lot more than I do.

Can you explain to us what you actually mean when you say you're
"not interested in gcc"?  And when you decide what you mean, can
you start saying that rather than saying you're "not interested"?
