DESCRIPTION

Compiler for the F# language, version 3.0

SYNOPSIS

fsharpc [options...] file [file...]

OPTIONS

OUTPUT FILES

--out:file, -o file
Name of the output file
--target:exe
Build a console executable
--target:winexe
Build a Windows executable
--target:library, -a
Build a library
--target:module
Build a module that can be added to another assembly
--delaysign[+|-]
Delay-sign the assembly using only the public portion of the strong name key
--doc:file
Write the xmldoc of the assembly to the given file
--keyfile:file
Specify a strong name key file
--keycontainer:string
Specify a strong name key container
--platform:string
Limit which platforms this code can run on: x86
, Itanium, x64, anycpu32bitpreferred, or anycpu.

The default is anycpu.

--nooptimizationdata
Only include optimization information essential for implementing inlined constructs. Inhibits cross-module inlining but improves binary compatibility.
--nointerfacedata
Don't add a resource to the generated assembly containing F#-specific metadata
--sig:file
Print the inferred interface of the assembly to a file

INPUT FILES

--reference:file, -r file
Reference an assembly

RESOURCES

--win32res:file
Specify a Win32 resource file (.res)

Specify a Win32 manifest file
--nowin32manifest
Do not include the default Win32 manifest
--resource:file[,string_name[,public|private]]
Embed the specified managed resource
--linkresource:file[,string_name[,public|private]]
Link the specified resource to this assembly

CODE GENERATION

--debug[+|-], -g
Emit debug information
--debug:[full|pdbonly]
Specify debugging type: full, pdbonly. full is the default and enables attaching a debugger to a running program.
--optimize[+|-], -O
Enable optimizations
--tailcalls[+|-]
Enable tailcalls
--crossoptimize[+|-]
Enable cross-module optimizations

ERRORS AND WARNINGS

--warnaserror[+|-]
Report all warnings as errors
--warnaserror[+|-]:warn[;warn[;...]]
Report specific warnings as errors
--warn:n
Set a warning level (0-5)
--nowarn:warn[;warn[;...]]
Disable specific warning messages
--warnon:warn[;warn[;...]]
Enable specific warnings that may be off by default
--consolecolors[+|-]

--utf8output
Output messages in UTF-8 encoding
--fullpaths
Output messages with fully qualified paths
--lib:dir[;dir[;...]], -I dir[;dir[;...]]
Specify a directory for the include path which is used to resolve source files and assemblies
--baseaddress:address
Base address for the library to be built
--noframework
Do not reference the default CLI assemblies by default
--standalone
Statically link the F# library and all referenced DLLs that depend on it into the assembly being generated
--staticlink:assembly
Statically link the given assembly and all referenced DLLs that depend on this assembly. Use an assembly name e.g. mylib, not a DLL name.
--resident
Use a resident background compilation service to improve compiler startup times.
--pdb:file
Name the output debug file
--simpleresolution
Resolve assembly references using directory-based rules rather than MSBuild resolution
--highentropyva[+|-]
Enable high-entropy ASLR
--subsystemversion:string
Specify subsystem version of this assembly
