You can produce a .c file, *without* compiling it further with `v -o file.c file.v` .
That is useful, if you want to integrate v as a transpiler into the build system (probably using a Makefile) of an existing large C code base, or if you just want to read the produced C code.
You can prevent V from deleting the intermediate .c file (which is useful if you want to use a debugger like gdb or msvc) by: `v -debug file.v` .
You can prevent V from deleting the intermediate .c file (which is useful if you want to use a debugger like gdb or msvc) by: `v -keep_c file.v` .
You can pass `-g`, which has the effect of -debug, and in addition will make the debugger information to have V line numbers, instead of C ones (NB: this will make the intermediate .c file harder to read).
You can pass `-g`, which will generate debugging symbols in your executable. The debugging symbols have V line numbers, instead of C ones (NB: this will make the intermediate .c file harder to read).
You can pass `-cg`, which will generate debugging symbols in your executable just like -g. The debugging symbols have C line numbers. NB: this will make the intermediate .c file easier to read, but in effect you will be debugging an ordinary generated C program, without a mapping to the underlying V source code.
You can also set the VFLAGS environment variable to pass one or more flags to v, so that you do not have to type them manually everytime.
