Actually I'm trying to read out the version of my cc1plus executable in windows. This is a rather simple job:
cc1plus -version
I need this for a scons script (Tool), to integrate an ARM cross compiler. Because of that I directly call cc1plus instead of using some compiler driver. There is no useful compiler driver available.
Back to my problem: When I'm calling "cc1plus -version" on cmd I get a version string back, but cc1plus isn't terminated. Instead it is continuously executed. I have to kill cc1plus with CRTL+D. For my script this is a problem.
In the following a snippet of my cmd:
C:\DevTools\CrossWorks_for_ARM_2.3\bin>cc1plus -version
GNU C++ (GCC) version 4.7.3 20121207 (release) [ARM/embedded-4_7-branch revision 194305] (arm-unknown-eabi)
compiled by GNU C version 3.4.4 (mingw special), GMP version 4.3.2, MPFR version 2.4.2, MPC version 0.8.1
GGC heuristics: --param ggc-min-expand=100 --param ggc-min-heapsize=131072
^C
C:\DevTools\CrossWorks_for_ARM_2.3\bin>
Is there any trick to terminate cc1plus after retrieving the version? For me it is rather incomprehensible why cc1plus isn't terminating.
You might want to give it something to compile. Maybe be redirecting input from null: (not sure if that's correct for windows). Though if so, that looks like a moderately strange compiler
