klic - Portable KL1 compiler

klic [options] [files ...]

klic is an implementation of a concurrent logic programming language KL1. The system is portable to almost any UNIX system by its compilation scheme using C as the intermediate language.

-c

Stop after generating relocatable object and don't link the program.

-C

Stop after translation into C.

-d

Don't try any compilation (dry run). Implies -v.

-dp

Compile for distributed parallel execution (available only when installed with distributed parallel system configuration).

-D database_manager

Specifies alternative database manager program.

-g

Debug flag passed to the C compiler.

-I directory

Specifies alternative include directory for C compilation.

-K klic_compiler

Specifies alternative KL1 to C translator.

-l library

Specifies additional library for linking.

-L directory

Specifies additional directory to be searched for -l.

-o file

Specifies the name of executable file.

-O [level]

Specifies optimization level. With no level specified, level of 1 is assumed. When non-zero level is specified, some additional optimization flags may be also passed to the C compiler. Such Additional optimization flags are system dependent and determined on KLIC system installation procedure.

-P [parallel]

Run subtasks (C compilers &c) in parallel. At most parallel subtasks are forked at a time.

-R

Specifies recompilation regardless of file dates.

-shm

Compile for shared memory parallel execution (available only when installed with shared memory parallel system configuration).

-S

Stop after generating assembly code output.

-n

Link with the non-debugging runtime library. Default uses the debugging library.

-v

Verbose run. All the commands executed through the compielr driver will be output to standard error.

-x directory

Use database file klic.db in the directory and also place atom.c and funct.c and their corresponding objects in the same directory. This flag is useful when programs to be linked together are distributed to multiple directories.

-X directory

When the database file klic.db does not exist, initiate it from the database initiation file klicdb.init under directory. It defaults to the default library directory.

-Fld loader

Force the linker program to loader. The default linker which is used by klic command is selected by the linked programs, i.e, "cc" in C version, and "f77" or "cc" in Fortran version. This option make the linker program loader forcely.

-Flo options

Force the linker options to to options.

Distributed parallel implementation is a beta version.

The released version is not throughly tested.
