What configure options were used when building gcc / libstdc++?
After reading about the problem of passing empty std::string objects between DLLs and EXEs, I am concerned about the configure options used to build my gcc / libstdc++. More specific I want to know if --enable-fully-dynamic-string was used during ./configure.
I'm using MinGW 4.4.0 on Windows XP.
Does anybody know the configuration used to build this release?
Is there a general way to find this information for any installation of GNU gcc? The gcc manual gives me no hint on this topic.
Thanks for your input!
Answer
gcc -v prints out the configuration options among other stuff:
$ gcc -v
