NAME

rperl Front-End Program

Restricted Perl, The Optimizing Perl 5 Compiler

SYNOPSIS

rperl [ARGUMENTS] input_program_0.pl [input_program_1.pl input_program_2.pl ...]
rperl [ARGUMENTS] MyClassFoo.pm [MyClassBar.pm MyClassBat.pm ...]
rperl [ARGUMENTS] input_program_0.pl MyClassFoo.pm [input_program_1.pl ... MyClassBar.pm ...]

ARGUMENTS

--help ...OR... -h ...OR... -?
Print this (relatively) brief help message for command-line usage.
For additional explanations, run the command `perldoc RPerl::Learning` and see Appendix B.
--version ...OR... -v
--vversion ...OR... -vv
Print version number and copyright information.
Repeat as 'vv' for more technical information, similar to `perl -V` configuration summary argument.
Lowercase 'v' not to be confused with uppercase 'V' in 'Verbose' argument.
--infile=MyFile.pm ...OR... -i=MyFile.pm
Specify input file, may be repeated for multiple input files.
Argument prefix '--infile' may be entirely omitted.
Argument prefix MUST be omitted to specify wildcard for multiple input files.
--outfile=MyCompiledModule ...OR... -o=MyCompiledModule
--outfile=my_compiled_program ...OR... -o=my_compiled_program
Specify output file prefix, may be repeated for multiple output files.
RPerl *.pm input file with PERL ops will create MyCompiledModule.pmc output file.
RPerl *.pl input file with PERL ops will create my_compiled_program (or my_compiled_program.exe on Windows) output file.
RPerl *.pm input file with CPP  ops will create MyCompiledModule.pmc, MyCompiledModule.cpp, & MyCompiledModule.h output files.
RPerl *.pl input file with CPP  ops will create my_compiled_program (or my_compiled_program.exe on Windows) & my_compiled_program.cpp output files.
Argument may be entirely omitted, foo.* input file will default to foo.* output file(s).
--CXX=/path/to/compiler
Specify path to C++ compiler for use in subcompile modes, equivalent to '--mode CXX=/path/to/compiler' or 'CXX' manual Makefile argument, 'g++' by default.
--mode ops=PERL ...OR... -m ops=PERL
--mode ops=CPP ...OR... -m ops=CPP
Specify operations mode, CPP by default.
If set to PERL, generate Perl operations in the source code output file(s).
If set to CPP, generate C++ operations in the source code output file(s).
PERL ops mode forces PERL types mode & PARSE or GENERATE compile mode; PERLOPS_PERLTYPES is test mode, does not actually compile.
--mode types=PERL ...OR... -m types=PERL
--mode types=CPP ...OR... -m types=CPP
--mode types=DUAL ...OR... -m types=DUAL
Specify data types mode, CPP by default.
If set to PERL, generate Perl data types in the source code output file(s).
If set to CPP, generate C++ data types in the source code output file(s).
If set to DUAL, generate both Perl and C++ data types in the source code output file(s).
DUAL mode allows generate-once-compile-many types, selected by '#define __FOO__TYPES' in lib/rperltypes_mode.h or `gcc -D__FOO__TYPES` manual subcompile argument.
--mode check=OFF ...OR... -m check=OFF
--mode check=ON ...OR... -m check=ON
--mode check=TRACE ...OR... -m check=TRACE
Specify data type checking mode, TRACE by default.
If set to OFF, do not perform dynamic type checking, only built-in C++ static type checking.
If set to ON, perform dynamic type checking in addition to built-in C++ static type checking.
If set to TRACE, perform dynamic type checking in addition to built-in C++ static type checking, with subroutine-and-variable trace information.
--mode dependencies=OFF ...OR... -m dependencies=OFF
--mode dependencies=ON ...OR... -m dependencies=ON
Specify dependencies mode, ON by default.
If set to OFF, do not search for or compile dependencies.
If set to ON, recursively search for dependencies and subdependencies, include as additional input file(s).
WARNING: Disabling dependencies will likely cause errors or undefined behavior.
--mode uncompile=OFF ...OR... -m uncompile=OFF
--mode uncompile=SOURCE ...OR... -m uncompile=SOURCE
--mode uncompile=BINARY ...OR... -m uncompile=BINARY
--mode uncompile=INLINE ...OR... -m uncompile=INLINE

Specify uncompile mode, OFF by default.
If set to SOURCE, delete all generated C++ output source code (not subcompiled) files: *.cpp, *.h, *.pmc
If set to BINARY, delete all generated C++ output binary (subcompiled) files: *.o, *.a, *.so, *.exe, non-suffixed executables
If set to INLINE, delete all generated C++ output Inline::CPP files: _Inline/ directory
If set to SOURCE_BINARY, delete both SOURCE and BINARY files.
If set to SOURCE_BINARY_INLINE, delete SOURCE, BINARY, and INLINE files.
For *.pm Perl module input files, BINARY and INLINE are equivalent.

--mode compile=GENERATE ...OR... -m compile=GENERATE
--mode compile=SAVE ...OR... -m compile=SAVE

If set to PARSE, begin with RPerl input source code file(s), and end with RPerl abstract syntax tree output data structure.
If set to GENERATE, begin with RPerl input source code file(s), and end with RPerl and/or C++ output source code in memory.
If set to SAVE, begin with RPerl input source code file(s), and end with RPerl and/or C++ output source code file(s) saved to disk.
If set to SUBCOMPILE, begin with RPerl input source code file(s), and end with C++ output binary file(s).
--mode subcompile=OFF ...OR... -m subcompile=OFF
