Property | Description | Choices

--- | ---| ---

Additional Include Directories | Specifies one or more directories to add to the include path; separate with semi-colons if more than one. (-I[path]).

Debug Information Format | Specifies the type of debugging information generated by the compiler. | **None** - Produces no debugging information, so compilation may be faster.<br>**Minimal Debug Information** - Generate minimal debug information.<br>**Full Debug Information (DWARF2)** - Generate DWARF2 debug information.<br>

Object File Name | Specifies a name to override the default object file name; can be file or directory name. (-o [name]).

Warning Level | Select how strict you want the compiler to be about code errors. Other flags should be added directly to Additional Options. (/w, /Weverything). | **Turn Off All Warnings** - Disables all compiler warnings.<br>**EnableAllWarnings** - Enables all warnings, including those disabled by default.<br>

Treat Warnings As Errors | Treats all compiler warnings as errors. For a new project, it may be best to use /Werror in all compilations; resolving all warnings will ensure the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.

C Additional Warnings | Defines a set of additional warning messages.

C++ Additional Warnings | Defines a set of additional warning messages.

Enable Verbose mode | When Verbose mode is enabled, this tool would print out more information that for diagnosing the build.

C++ Compiler | Specifies the program to invoke during compilation of C++ source files, or the path to the C++ compiler on the remote system.

Compile Timeout | Remote compilation timeout, in milliseconds.

Copy Object Files | Specifies whether to copy the compiled object files from the remote system to the local machine.

Property | Description | Choices

--- | ---| ---

Optimization | Specifies the optimization level for the application. | **Custom** - Custom optimization.<br>**Disabled** - Disable optimization.<br>**Minimize Size** - Optimize for size.<br>**Maximize Speed** - Optimize for speed.<br>**Full Optimization** - Expensive optimizations.<br>

Strict Aliasing | Assume the strictest aliasing rules. An object of one type will never be assumed to reside at the same address as an object of a different type.

Unroll Loops | Unroll loops to make application faster by reducing number of branches executed at the cost of larger code size.

Link Time Optimization | Enable Inter-Procedural optimizations by allowing the optimizer to look across object files in your application.

Omit Frame Pointer | Suppresses creation of frame pointers on the call stack.

No Common Blocks | Allocate even unintialized global variables in the data section of the object file, rather then generating them as common blocks

Property | Description | Choices

--- | ---| ---

Preprocessor Definitions | Defines a preprocessing symbols for your source file. (-D)

Undefine Preprocessor Definitions | Specifies one or more preprocessor undefines. (-U [macro])

Undefine All Preprocessor Definitions | Undefine all previously defined preprocessor values. (-undef)

Position Independent Code | Generate Position Independent Code (PIC) for use in a shared library.

Statics are thread safe | Emit Extra code to use routines specified in C++ ABI for thread safe initilization of local statics. | **No** - Disable thread safe statics.<br>**Yes** - Enable thread safe statics.<br>

Floating Point Optimization | Enables floating point optimizations by relaxing IEEE-754 compliance.

Inline Methods Hidden | When enabled, out-of-line copies of inline methods are declared 'private extern'.

Symbol Hiddens By Default | All symbols are declared 'private extern' unless explicitly marked to be exported using the '__attribute' macro.

Enable C++ Exceptions | Specifies the model of exception handling to be used by the compiler. | **No** - Disable exception handling.<br>**Yes** - Enable exception handling.<br>

C Language Standard | Determines the C language standard. | **Default**<br>**C89** - C89 Language Standard.<br>**C99** - C99 Language Standard.<br>**C11** - C11 Language Standard.<br>**C99 (GNU Dialect)** - C99 (GNU Dialect) Language Standard.<br>**C11 (GNU Dialect)** - C11 (GNU Dialect) Language Standard.<br>

C++ Language Standard | Determines the C++ language standard. | **Default**<br>**C++03** - C++03 Language Standard.<br>**C++11** - C++11 Language Standard.<br>**C++14** - C++14 Language Standard.<br>**C++03 (GNU Dialect)** - C++03 (GNU Dialect) Language Standard.<br>**C++11 (GNU Dialect)** - C++11 (GNU Dialect) Language Standard.<br>**C++14 (GNU Dialect)** - C++14 (GNU Dialect) Language Standard.<br>

Property | Description | Choices

--- | ---| ---

Compile As | Select compile language option for .c and .cpp files. 'Default' will detect based on .c or .cpp extention. (-x c, -x c++) | **Default** - Default.<br>**Compile as C Code** - Compile as C Code.<br>**Compile as C++ Code** - Compile as C++ Code.<br>

The properties set on this property page apply to all files in the project except whose file-level properties are set.

Sources To Copy | Specifies the sources to copy to the remote system. Changing this list might shift or otherwise affect the directory structure where files are copied to on the remote system.

Copy Sources | Specifies whether to copy the sources to the remote system.

Additional Sources To Copy | Specifies additional sources to copy to the remote system. Optionally the list can be provided as a local to remote mapping pairs using a syntax like this: fulllocalpath1:=fullremotepath1;fulllocalpath2:=fullremotepath2, where a local file can be copied to the specified remote location on the remote system.

Property | Description

--- | ---

Command Line | The command to be executed by the custom build step.

Description | A message that's displayed when the custom build step runs.

Outputs | The output file that the custom build step generates. This setting is required so that incremental builds work correctly.

Additional Dependencies | A semicolon-delimited list of any additional input files to use for the custom build step.

Execute After and Execute Before | These options define when the custom build step is run in the build process, relative to the listed targets. The most commonly listed targets are BuildGenerateSources, BuildCompile, and BuildLink, because they represent the major steps in the build process. Other often-listed targets are Midl, CLCompile, and Link.

Treat Output As Content | This option is only meaningful for Windows Store or Windows Phone apps, which include all content files in the .appx package.
