compile

Purpose

Compile a source model.

Synopsis

function compile(src:string):integer

function compile(opt:string, src:string):integer

function compile(opt:string, src:string, dst: string):integer

function compile(opt:string, src:string, dst: string, com:string, pwd:string, pke:string, kls:string):integer

function compile(mi:Mosel, opt:string, src:string, dst: string):integer

function compile(mi:Mosel, opt:string, src:string, dst: string, com:string, pwd:string, pke:string, kls:string):integer

Arguments

opt

Compilation options (may be separated by spaces or '-' symbols):

"g"	Include debugging information
"G"	Include tracing information
"s"	Strip symbols
"p"	parse only: stop after the syntax analysis of the source file, do not compile (no file generated)
"bx=prefix"	Package prefix (can be quoted with single or double quotes)
"ix=prefix"	Include source prefix (can be quoted with single or double quotes)
"S"	Sign the bim file
"E"	Encrypt the bim file
"F"	The argument pass is a file name (not the password itself)
"V"	Accept to load signed packages only if their signature can be verified
"T"	Accept to load only signed packages with a valid signature

src

Source file name

dst

Destination file name

com

Comment to store in the bim file

The Mosel instance to perform the compilation

pass

Password or password file (for encryption with a password)

pke

Private key file (for bim file signing)

kls

File of public keys (for encryption with public keys)

Return value

0	Function executed successfully
1	Parsing phase has failed (syntax error or file access error)
2	Error in compilation phase (a semantic error has been detected)
3	Error writing the output file
4	License error (compiler not authorized)

Example

Compile the local file "src.mos" stored on the current directory using the instance inst1 and store the resulting BIM file on the current directory of this instance:

r:=compile(ins1,"","rmt:src.mos","dst.bim")

Further information

1. This function compiles a given model source file into a binary model file (bim file) that is required as input to function load for executing the model.

2. If no destination file name is provided, the output file takes the same name as the source file with the extension .bim.

3. When sending a compilation request to a separate Mosel instance, it is important to keep in mind that the operation is performed in the environment of this instance (in particular its current working directory) and file names should be specified appropriately (the rmt: IO driver can be particularly helpful in this context).

4. The argument kls is a list of public key files ( i.e. each line of the file is a key file name): when encrypting a file, the encryption is performed for each of the listed public keys such that the bim file can be decrypted by any of the corresponding private keys.

5. When prefixes provided via bx or ix are quoted with double quotes, backslashes are interpreted such that special characters can be included in the string. It is therefore required to double this symbol when it has to be included ( e.g. 'bx="C:\\mydir"').
