HIPCC documentation

hipcc is a compiler driver utility that will call clang or nvcc, depending on target, and pass the appropriate include and library options for the target compiler and HIP infrastructure.

There are both Perl and C++ executable versions of the hipcc and hipconfig compiler driver utilities provided. By default the C++ version is used when hipcc is run. To enable the Perl versions of these commands set the environment variable HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS=1.

Note

While C++ is the default command, HIPCC still requires Perl to be installed for its operation.
