Compiler Switches
Canterbury Pascal for Java accepts the following command line
switches:
-
-M
-
Make: Also recompile updated dependent source files.
-
-B
-
Build: Also recompile all dependent source files.
-
-R
-
Runtime files of the "mhc.runtime.pas" package are compiled into the
current working directory without a package clause. It also requires the
-M or -B switch. This switch is useful for applets whose classes, including
those of the runtime system, are all to reside in the same current working
directory, especially when being loaded and run from a browser
environment.
-
-W0 or -W1
-
Warning messages: -W0=no -W1=yes
-
-C=n
-
Cancel after n error messages
-
-XF
-
Extended function designator usage. Enable using them in procedure calls
ignoring return value.
-
-XL
-
Enable Pascal language extensions.
-
-XT
-
Enable stricter type checking for
arithmetic and
relational operations
with mixed typed operands.
-
-JAVAC
-
Also write *.class files after Pascal compilation using the
JDK Javac compiler
in a subprocess. Note: Quite slow on systems with less than 32 MB RAM. Only
works on systems where subprocess can be called from Java as "javac
<class-file> <options>".
-
-JIKES
-
Also write *.class files after Pascal compilation using
IBM Alphaworks
Jikes compiler. Note: Only works on systems where subprocess can be called
from java as "jikes <class-file> <options> +$". At the time of
this publication, Jikes still has some problems returning from the subprocess
to the waiting Pascal compiler. It also has problems recognizing generated
Java symbols containing the $-sign. IBM will hopefully fix these problems.
Jikes is otherwise a very promising product, it is much faster than
Javac.
-
-O or -D
-
Optimized or debugger-supported class file output, only accepted in
conjunction with -JAVAC or -JIKES switch.
-
-L
-
Also write Pascal source lines as comments into the output Java
files.
-
-R4 or -R8
-
4- or 8-bytes REAL, default is -R8.
-
-SERIAL
-
Generate Java serializable record or class types. Needed when writing
or reading records or classes to or from files.
