GCC option to specify the filename which is being compiled

Assume there are 3 files which I need to compile, a.cpp, b.cpp and c.cpp. When I compile the above 3 files using microsoft compiler, the compiler outputs the file name which it completed compiling.

ex: cl a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp

a.cpp

b.cpp

c.cpp

But GCC compiler doesnot output the filename which it completed compiling.

ex: g++ a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp

//no output is shown.

Is there any option in GCC and clang which will show the filename after the compilation of it.

Sorry for the terrible english. Also I don't need any suggestions about achieving the desired result using make files.

Thanks inadvance

No, there is no such option. Unix tools are designed to do one thing well. Compilers compile and echo $filename echoes arguments.

As an alternative, make by default outputs the commands it executes. Use it for your build and you have many options.
