The software application, written in C/C++ using the XRT native API, is built
using the GNU C++ compiler (g++) which is based on GNU
compiler collection (GCC). Each source file is compiled to an object file (.o) and linked with the Xilinx Runtime (XRT) shared library to create the executable which runs on
an x86 or embedded Arm processor.
To use the native XRT APIs, the host application must link with the
xrt_coreutil library. For example:
g++ -g -std=c++17 -I$XILINX_XRT/include -L$XILINX_XRT/lib -lxrt_coreutil -pthreadCompiling host code with XRT native C++ API requires C++ standard with
-std=c++17. On GCC version older than 4.9.0, use
-std=c++1y instead because -std=c++17 is introduced to GCC from 4.9.0.
Tip:
g++ supports many standard GCC options which are not documented here. For
information refer to the GCC Option Summary.
