OMG INTERFACE DEFINITION LANGUAGE COMPILER FRONT END: COMMAND LINE INTERFACE
-==========================================================================-
INTRODUCTION
This document describes general OMG Interface Definition Language compiler
command line options. Options that are specific to a given back end, object
adapter or language are not described here. These should be described in a
document detailing the interface implemented by each specific back end.
OMG INTERFACE DEFINITION LANGUAGE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
OMG Interface Definition Language compiler options are described below.
Unless otherwise noted, only one occurrence of each option is allowed.
The following conventions are used
- Text in '[..]' is optional.
- Text followed by '*' can be repeated zero or more times.
- Text followed by '+' can be repeated once or more times.
- '{' and '}' are used to group text to cause '+' or '*' to apply to
the entire grouped text.
- 'aa|bb' means either 'aa' or 'bb'.
COMMAND LINE SUMMARY
idl [flag | file-name]*
Flags are command line words that start with a '-'. All other command line
words are assumed to be file names. If no file names are given, input is
taken from stdin.
COMMAND LINE FLAGS
-A[xyz] A local escape. This can be used to specify additional options that
are specific to a given implementation. More than one -A option is
allowed
-Dname[=value]
Defines name and an optional value to be passed to a compliant C++
preprocessor, as if by #define. White space between the -D option
and the name is optional. More than one -D option is allowed.
-d If no parse errors were found, prints out a representation of the
IDL input to stderr.
-E Runs the C++ preprocessor on the OMG Interface Definition Language
input and sends the result to the standard output.
-Idirectory
Causes directory to be added to the search path for include files.
More than one -I option is allowed. This option is processed by a
compliant C++ preprocessor.
-Uname Undefines name, as if by #undef. White space between the -U option
and the name is optional. More than one -U option is allowed.
-V Causes the version information of the CFE to be displayed. No other
work is done, regardless of any other options.
-W[b|p][,arg]+
Hands off the arguments supplied to a specific portion of the OMG
Interface Definition Language compiler:
- -Wb arguments are handed to the loaded back end
- -Wp arguments are handed to a compliant C++ preprocessor
-Yp,pathname
Specifies an alternate path for finding a C++ compliant
preprocessor. Specifiers other than 'p' may be defined in future
versions of the CFE. More than one -Y option may appear. The last
one specifying each component takes effect.
This option exists but currently does nothing. Instead, we use the
preprocessing facilities provided by invoking CC -E always.
-bback_end
Causes the CFE to use a different compiler back end than the
default one (if dynamic loading is supported). Legal values for
this option and the default value are implementation specific.
-u Prints a usage message from the CFE. All possible options are
shown. No other work is done regardless of any other options.
-v Causes the CFE to produce informational output as the various
phases of the compiler execute.
-w Suppresses IDL compiler warning messages.
WHITESPACE
All option arguments may be separated from their option letter by
whitespace. For example, -D FOO is equivalent to -DFOO.
UNKNOWN OPTIONS
If an unknown option is passed to the CFE, the offending option is
displayed to the user together with a usage message, and no compilation is
performed.
PASSING OPTIONS TO COMPILER PHASES
The order in which options appear on the command line is preserved when
they are passed to various compiler phases.
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE OPTION COMBINATIONS
Mutually exclusive or ambiguous option combinations are resolved by using
the option that appears later on the command line. For example,
-DFOO -UFOO
has no effect and leaves FOO undefined for the preprocessor.
OPTION SCOPE
All options are in effect for the entire IDL compilation run. If multiple
IDL source file names are given on the command line, all options apply to
each file. If different IDL source files require different sets of options
for successfull compilation, they must be compiled separately.
EXIT STATUS
IDL Compilers exit with status equal to zero for successfull compilations.
If errors were found by the CFE, the exit status is a count of the errors.
The exit status for unsuccessfull compilations aborted by BEs is defined by
each BE.
