NAME

4glc - Aubit 4GL compiler

SYNOPSIS

4glc [options] -oOutFile.ext file.ext [file.ext ...]

DESCRIPTION

Aubit 4GL source compiler 4glc is generally invoked using the 4glpc wrapper. It can be involked directly:

4glc <filename>.4gl

For historic reasons, the 4glc compiler can also compile most modules to an executable. In order to do this the 4glc compiler uses the normal C compiler and passes unknown options on to it e.g.:

4glc file.4gl -c -o file.o
4glc -shared file.4gl -o file.4ge
4glc -static -echo file.4gl -o file.4ge
4glc -debug file.4gl -o file.debug
4glc -map -echo file.4gl
compiles to an object file rather than a linked executable

It is now best practice, unless there is a very good reason otherwise, to not call 4glc directly as all, and to invoke it via the 4glpc compiler instead.

OPTIONS

When A4GL_LEXTYPE=C :
-o[outfile] name output file
(no flags) compile to C only

When A4GL_LEXTYPE=PERL :
(no flags) compile to Perl only

Other options:
-G, --globals
Generate the globals map file

-S, --silent
No output other then errors

-V, --verbose
Verbose output

-N name, --namespace name
Prefix all functions with name(default ’aclfgl_’)

-v, --version
Show compiler version and exit

-f, --version_full
Show full compiler version and details

-?, --help
Show this help and exit

-t TYPE, --lextype=TYPE
Output language, TYPE=C(default) or PERL

-k, --keep
Keep intermediate files (default)

-w, --keep-warn
Keep warnings output file [.warn](default=do not)

-K, --clean
Clean intermediate files when done

-s0|1, --stack_trace 0|1
Include the stack trace in file

-h, --as-dll
Make -o by linking all resulting object into shared library

-H, --shared
Compile each input object into shared object (.so/.aso/.dll)

If ’outfile’ was not specified, it is generated from first 4gl file name specified. All options that are not recognised, are passed to C compiler, if -c -o -d or -l was specified.
