We recommend that you follow these conventions wherever possible, but you don’t have to.

There are several options for customization, as you’ll see next.

NOTE: All link:{groovyDslPath}/org.gradle.language.cpp.tasks.CppCompile.html[CppCompile] tasks are incremental and cacheable.

=== Supported tool chain

Gradle offers the ability to execute the same build using different tool chains.

Passing additional compiler arguments now follow the same pattern as the `CppCompile` and other tasks.
