But it does basically work fine to have gcc questions about using gcc to link a. That "linker" part of the tag wiki description is what made me think keeping it separate from the MSVC tag was a good idea. (Side-note: we have g++ and gfortran tags which are as much about the GNU dialect of those languages than the actual command line tools, although I'd still tag gcc on a question about how GCC compiles C++, especially if the question is about the back-end optimizer, but even in general.) The more this gets discussed, the less sure I am that it makes any sense to have a separate tag for cl, the command-line tool, separate from the compiler itself ( msvc, currently a synonym for visual-c++ which has the downside of not leaving any tag for MS's compiler in C mode.)įor example, the gcc and g++ command-line front-ends for the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) can invoke ld (with options that link libc and CRT startup, etc.), so in some sense you can call gcc a linker, too. Anyone investigating these tags should keep an eye out for that. The first time I ever encountered either of these tags ( here), retagging to visual-c++ was more appropriate because the question had nothing to do with the cl command line tool, just the compiler / language extensions.
So perhaps we should synonym the other direction, cl -> cl.exe? There's no reason the tag with the most questions needs to selected, especially in this case where one is a prefix of the other it won't cause any problems for searching or typing it. (OTOH, cl.exe does make the command-line nature clearer, and avoids confusion with other contexts with cl might possibly mean something, if there are any in the future.) It's redundant to have both of these tags, but I don't think we need to burninate cl.exe. is where someone can suggest cl.exe as a synonym and vote on it. The tag wiki for even mentions that the command is cl.exe.Ĭl.exe should probably be a synonym of cl, but I don't have reputation points in either of those tags. We also have a cl.exe (100 questions), which AFAICT is exactly the same thing as cl (234 questions). When you compile an invalid synonym, it becomes valid again.We apparently have a tag for MSVC's compiler command-line, cl, separate from the compiler itself and the dialect of C/C++ it supports ( msvc which is a synonym for visual-c++ AFAIK we don't have a tag for MSVC C as opposed to C++.). A synonym places a dependency on its target object and becomes invalid if the target object is changed or dropped. Restriction on EDITIONABLE | NONEDITIONABLE You cannot specify these clauses for a public synonym because editioning is always enabled for the object type SYNONYM in the PUBLIC schema. For information about altering editioned and noneditioned objects, see Oracle Database Development Guide. Use these clauses to specify whether the synonym becomes an editioned or noneditioned object if editioning is later enabled for the schema object type SYNONYM in schema. Specify the name of the synonym to be altered.
If you omit schema, then Oracle Database assumes the synonym is in your own schema. Specify the schema containing the synonym. You cannot use this clause to change a public synonym to a private synonym, or vice versa. Specify PUBLIC if synonym is a public synonym.
