Tool Naming Conventions
The names of the Carbide command-line tools follow this convention:
mw<tool><type>
where:
- <tool> is cc/c++ for the C/C++ compiler, and ld for the linker
- <type> is sym2 for the Symbian EKA2 compiler/linker, and filt for the filter
Tools include:
- mwccsym2 — x86 C/C++ compiler
- mwldsym2 — x86 linker
- mwc++filt — x86 filter
NOTE The prefix "mw" is an artifact of the pre-Carbide days when Metrowerks owned the x86 compiler technology used by Carbide.c++.
