If a library is specified with -library, the proper -I paths are set during compilation. The proper -L,-Y P, -R paths and -l options are set during linking.

Use of the -library option ensures that the -l options for the specified libraries are emitted in the right order. For example, the -l options are passed to ld in the order -lrwtool -liostream for both -library=rwtools7,iostream and -library=iostream,rwtools7.

The specified libraries are linked before system support libraries.

Only one Rogue Wave tools library can be used at a time.

The Rogue Wave Tools.h++ version 7 library is built with classic iostreams. Therefore, when you include the Rogue Wave tools library in standard mode, you must also include libiostream.

If you include both libCstd and libiostream, you must be careful to not use the old and new forms of iostreams (for example, cout and std::cout) within a program to access the same file. Mixing standard iostreams and classic iostreams in the same program is likely to cause problems if the same file is accessed from both classic and standard iostream code.

Programs linking neither libC nor libCrun might not use all features of the C++ language.

If -xnolib is specified, -library is ignored.
