ozc - compile oz code

ozc [mode] options ...

MODES

The `ozc' compiler can operate in one of several mutually exclusive modes selected by the options below:

-h, -?, --help

Prints out information on all legal options, then exits

-c, --dump

`ozc -c FILE.oz' compiles and evaluates the expression in file FILE.oz, then pickles the resulting value into the output file, FILE.ozf by default.

-e, --feedtoemulator

`ozc -e FILE.oz' compiles and executes the statement in file FILE.oz. This is the default mode of operation.

-E, --core

`ozc -E FILE.oz' translates the statement in file FILE.oz into the core language, then writes this expanded form into the output file, FILE.ozi by default.

-S, --outputcode

`ozc -S FILE.oz' compiles the statement in file FILE.oz into the assembly bytecode format, then writes it to the output file, FILE.ozm by default.

-x, --executable

`ozc -x FILE.oz' much like -c, compiles and evaluates the expression in file FILE.oz, then writes the resulting value into the output file, by default: FILE (no extension) under Unix or FILE.exe under Windows. Additionally, it makes the output file executable. Thus, if Foo.oz contains an application functor: `ozc -x Foo.oz' creates the file Foo (Foo.exe under Windows), which is executable and can be invoked directly from the shell. However, you can always run an application functor as follows: `ozengine url args ...' where url is a URL or pathname that references the application functor.

OPTIONS

Additionally, the compiler understands the following general options:

-v, --verbose

Display all compiler messages

-q, --quiet

Inhibit compiler messages

-M, --makedepend

Instead of executing, write a list of dependencies to stdout

-o FILE, --outputfile=FILE

Write output to FILE (- for stdout)

--execheader=STRING

When invoked with option -x the compiler first outputs a header so that the output file may be interpreted by the operating system as an executable. Under Unix, the default behaviour is to use the following as header:

#!/bin/sh exec ozengine $0 "$@"

The --execheader option allows you to specify a different header.

--execpath=STRING

Uses the header given above in the description of --execheader, except that ozengine is replaced by STRING.

--execfile=FILE

Reads in FILE and uses this as header. Under Windows, the default behaviour is to use the file provided in ozhome/bin/ozwrapper.bin, where ozhome is Mozart's installation folder. ozwrapper.bin is a Windows executable that launches ozengine.

--execwrapper=FILE

Reads in ozhome/bin/FILE and uses it as header for executable files. Apart from ozwrapper.bin, an ozwrapperw.bin is supplied that launches ozenginew instead of ozengine. This option provides a convenient way to use this alternative wrapper.

-z N, --compress=N

Pickles may be written in a compressed format. By default they are not compressed. `-z N' selects a compression level: N is an integer between 1 and 9. Compressing a pickle may improve loading/downloading time.

-D NAME, --define=NAME

Define macro NAME. Code source may have `\ifdef NAME' conditional directives that tests whether macro NAME is defined.

-U NAME, --undefine=NAMEFP Undefines macro NAME

-l MODULES, --environment=MODULES

ozc -l Baz=$HOME/baz.ozf -c Foo.oz

Makes MODULES, a comma-separated list of pairs VAR=URL, available in the environment. For each VAR=URL, the module available through the functor at URL is obtained and VAR is bound to it. The file Foo.oz being compiled can then reference variable VAR.

-I DIR, --incdir=DIR

Adds DIR to the head of OZPATH which is used to locate files to \insert.

--include=FILE

Compile and execute the statement in FILE before processing the remaining options. This can be used e. g. to extend the compilation environment by executing a declare.

--maxerrors=N

Limit the number of errors reported to N.

--baseurl=STRING

Set the base URL to resolve imports of computed functors to STRINGFP.

SWITCHES

Finally, phases of the compiler can be controlled by the compiler switches below:

-g, --(n)debuginfo

Emits code with debugging information. Use this option if you want to take advantage of The Mozart Debugger. The -g option is actually an abbreviation for the combination of --controlflowinfo and --staticvarnames.

--(n)controlflowinfo

Include control flow information

--(n)staticvarnames

Include static variable name information

-p, --(n)profile

Emits code with profiling information. Use this option if you want to take advantage of The Mozart Profiler.

--(n)gump

Allow Gump definitions.

--(n)compilerpasses

Show compiler passes.

--(n)warnredecl

Warn about top-level redeclarations.

--(n)warnunused

Warn about unused variables.

--(n)warnunusedformals

Warn about unused variables and formals.

--(n)warnforward

Warn about oo forward declarations.

--(n)warnopt

Warn about missed optimizations.

--(n)expression

Expect expressions, not statements.

--(n)allowdeprecated

Allow use of deprecated syntax.

--(n)staticanalysis

Run static analysis.

--(n)realcore

Output the real non-fancy core syntax.

--(n)debugvalue

Annotate variable values in core output.

--(n)debugtype

Annotate variable types in core output.

--functionalpatterns

Use functional pattern-matching.
