Is the option that you want to pass to the backend tool in device compilation.

Description

This option passes options to the backend tool. It is a shortcut for option Xsycl-target-backend.

For example, the following option (using syntax form -Xsoption):

  -Xsversion

and the following option (using syntax form -Xs -option):

  -Xs -version

are both equivalent to specifying:

  -Xsycl-target-backend -version

Note

When using Ahead of Time (AOT) compilation, the options passed with -Xs are not compiler options.

To see a list of the options you can pass with -Xs when using AOT, specify -fsycl-help=gen, -fsycl-help=x86_64, or -fsycl-help=fpga on the command line.
