On UNIX, you can use the dirname and basename commands to get the directory and file name, respectively, from a fully qualified path. That would make it easy to do in scripts.

I can see where one can direct the output to a specific name, via the -o option, which allows one to specify a full path specification, but I don't see where one can just specify the output directory without having to specify the full output name. The latter would be useful in scripts and batch files where separating a filename from the full path specification is not that easy, while providing an output directory and letting GCC automatically put the appropriately named output files there is a good deal simpler.
