.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I afm2
|
|
is a fast
|
|
.B Modula-2
|
|
compiler. It translates
|
|
.B Modula-2
|
|
programs
|
|
into ack(1ACK)-compatible relocatable object modules, and does so in one pass.
|
|
Then, if the \fB\-c\fP flag is not given,
|
|
.I afm2
|
|
offers the object modules to a link-editor,
|
|
to create an executable binary.
|
|
.LP
|
|
.I Afm2
|
|
accepts several types of filename arguments. Files with
|
|
names ending in
|
|
.B .mod
|
|
are taken to be
|
|
.B Modula-2
|
|
source programs.
|
|
They are compiled, and the resulting object module is placed in the current
|
|
directory.
|
|
The object module is named after its source file, the suffix
|
|
.B .o
|
|
replacing
|
|
.BR .mod
|
|
in the name of the object.
|
|
A file with suffix
|
|
.B .mod
|
|
is passed through the C preprocessor if it begins with a '#'.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Definition modules are not separately compiled. The compiler reads them when
|
|
it needs them.
|
|
Definition modules are expected to reside in files with names ending
|
|
in
|
|
.BR .def .
|
|
The name of the file in which a definition module is stored must be the same as
|
|
the module-name, apart from the extension.
|
|
Also, in most Unix systems filenames are only 14 characters long.
|
|
So, given an IMPORT declaration for a module called "LongModulName",
|
|
the compiler will try to open a file called "LongModulN.def".
|
|
The requirement does not hold for implementation or program modules,
|
|
but is certainly recommended.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Other arguments refer to loader options,
|
|
object modules, or object libraries.
|
|
Unless the
|
|
.B \-c
|
|
flag is given, these modules and libraries, together with the results of any
|
|
specified compilations, are passed (in the order given) to the
|
|
link-editor to produce
|
|
an output file named
|
|
.IR a.out .
|
|
You can specify a name for the executable by using the
|
|
.B \-o
|
|
option.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.LP
|
|
The \fB\-l\fIlib\fR, \fB\-d\fP, \fB\-n\fP, \fB\-N\fP,
|
|
\fB\-r\fP, \fB\-s\fP, \fB\-S\fP, \fB\-i\fP, and \fB\-u\fP options are
|
|
passed to the link-editor program.
|
|
The \fB\-u\fP option takes an extra argument.
|
|
.IP \fB\-c\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Suppress the loading phase of the compilation, and force an object module to
|
|
be produced, even if only one program is compiled.
|
|
A single object module can be named explicitly using the
|
|
.B \-o
|
|
option.
|
|
.IP \fB\-D\fIname\fR\fB=\fIdef\fR
|
|
Define a symbol
|
|
.I name
|
|
to the
|
|
preprocessor, as if by "#define".
|
|
.IP \fB\-D\fIname\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
same as \fB\-D\fIname\fB=1\fR.
|
|
.IP \fB\-I\fIpathname\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
Add
|
|
.I pathname
|
|
to the list of directories in which to search for
|
|
.B #include
|
|
files with filenames not beginning with slash.
|
|
The preprocessor first searches for
|
|
.B #include
|
|
files in the directory containing
|
|
.I sourcefile,
|
|
then in directories in
|
|
.B \-I
|
|
options, then in the ACK include directory,
|
|
and finally, in
|
|
.I /usr/include.
|
|
This flag is also passed to the compiler. When the compiler needs a definition
|
|
module, it is first searched for in the current directory, then in the
|
|
directories given to it by the \fB\-I\fP flag, and then in a default directory,
|
|
.I CHANGE_ME.
|
|
.I afm2
|
|
This default directory contains all definition modules of
|
|
the runtime system.
|
|
.IP "\fB\-o \fIoutput\fR"
|
|
Name the final output file
|
|
.I output.
|
|
.IP \fB\-O\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Use a version of the compiler that is just a bit slower, but produces
|
|
better code.
|
|
.IP \fB\-U\fIname\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
Remove any initial definition of
|
|
.I name.
|
|
.IP \fB\-v\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Verbose. Print the commands as they are executed.
|
|
.IP \fB\-vn\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Verbose, no execute. Only print the commands, do not execute them.
|
|
.IP \fB\-L\fR
|
|
do not generate code to keep track of
|
|
the current location in the source code.
|
|
.IP \fB\-w\fR\fIclasses\fR
|
|
suppress warning messages whose class is a member of \fIclasses\fR.
|
|
Currently, there are three classes: \fBO\fR, indicating old-flashioned use,
|
|
\fBW\fR, indicating "ordinary" warnings, and \fBR\fR, indicating
|
|
restricted Modula-2.
|
|
If no \fIclasses\fR are given, all warnings are suppressed.
|
|
By default, warnings in class \fBO\fR and \fBW\fR are given.
|
|
.IP \fB\-W\fR\fIclasses\fR
|
|
allow for warning messages whose class is a member of \fIclasses\fR.
|
|
.IP \fB\-R\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
disable all range-checks.
|
|
.IP \fB\-A\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
enable extra array bound checks. Unfortunately, the back-end used for this
|
|
compiler is a bit sloppy, so extra array bound checks are needed if you want
|
|
detection of array bound errors.
|
|
.IP \fB\-3\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
Only accept Modula-2 programs that strictly conform to the 3rd Edition of
|
|
[1].
|
|
.IP \fB\-_\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
allow for underscores within identifiers. Identifiers may not start or end
|
|
with an underscore, even if this flag is given.
|
|
.IP \fB\-M\fIcompiler\fR
|
|
.br
|
|
use \fIcompiler\fR as Modula-2 compiler instead of the default.
