Special sentences for setting compilation options.
§1. The Use sentence. Note that any sentence beginning with the word "Use" is accepted here, which is a very wide net: unlike most special meaning sentences, there's no attempt to cut down the risk of false positives by screening the noun phrase.
int UseOptions::use_SMF(int task, parse_node *V, wording *NPs) { wording OW = (NPs)?(NPs[1]):EMPTY_WORDING; switch (task) { "Use American dialect." case ACCEPT_SMFT: <np-articled-list>(OW); V->next = <<rp>>; return TRUE; case ALLOW_IN_OPTIONS_FILE_SMFT: return TRUE; case PASS_1_SMFT: case PASS_2_SMFT: UseOptions::set_use_options(V->next, task); break; } return FALSE; }
§2. "Use" sentences are simple in structure. Their object noun phrases are articled lists:
Use American dialect and the serial comma.
void UseOptions::set_use_options(parse_node *p, int task) { if (Node::get_type(p) == AND_NT) { UseOptions::set_use_options(p->down, task); UseOptions::set_use_options(p->down->next, task); return; } Set a single use option2.1; }
§3. Needed to provide a structured response from <use-setting>:
typedef struct parsed_use_option_setting { struct wording textual_option; struct use_option *resolved_option; struct parse_node *made_at; int at_least; int value; struct text_stream *language_for_pragma; struct text_stream *content_of_pragma; CLASS_DEFINITION } parsed_use_option_setting; parsed_use_option_setting *UseOptions::new_puos(wording W) { parsed_use_option_setting *puos = CREATE(parsed_use_option_setting); puos->textual_option = W; puos->resolved_option = NULL; puos->at_least = NOT_APPLICABLE; puos->value = -1; puos->language_for_pragma = NULL; puos->content_of_pragma = NULL; return puos; } parsed_use_option_setting *UseOptions::force_setting(int notable_code) { use_option *uo = NewUseOptions::find_uo(notable_code); if (uo == NULL) return NULL; parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::new_puos(EMPTY_WORDING); puos->resolved_option = uo; return puos; } parsed_use_option_setting *UseOptions::parse_setting(wording W) { <use-setting>(W); parsed_use_option_setting *puos = <<rp>>; puos->made_at = current_sentence; if (Wordings::empty(W)) internal_error("cannot parse empty setting wording"); puos->resolved_option = NewUseOptions::parse_uo(puos->textual_option); return puos; }
- The structure parsed_use_option_setting is accessed in 3/nuor and here.
§4. Each of the entries in this list must match the following; the text of the option name is taken from the ... or ### as appropriate:
<use-inter-pipeline> ::= inter pipeline {<quoted-text>} ==> { TRUE, - } <use-index-language> ::= ... language index ==> { TRUE, - } <use-memory-setting> ::= ... compiler option {<quoted-text>} | ==> Make a compiler option4.3 ### of <cardinal-number-unlimited> ==> Make an exact setting4.4 <use-setting> ::= ... of at least <cardinal-number-unlimited> | ==> Make an at-least setting4.2 ... of <cardinal-number-unlimited> | ==> Make an exact setting4.4 <definite-article> ... | ==> Make a non-setting4.1 ... ==> Make a non-setting4.1
- This is Preform grammar, not regular C code.
parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::new_puos(GET_RW(<use-setting>, 1)); ==> { -1, puos }
- This code is used in §4 (twice).
§4.2. Make an at-least setting4.2 =
int val = R[1]; if (val < 0) { StandardProblems::sentence_problem(Task::syntax_tree(), _p_(PM_UseOptionAtLeastNegative), "the minimum possible value is not allowed to be negative", "since it describes a quantity which must be 0 or more"); val = 0; } parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::new_puos(GET_RW(<use-setting>, 1)); puos->at_least = TRUE; puos->value = val; ==> { val, puos }
- This code is used in §4.
§4.3. Make a compiler option4.3 =
int val = R[1]; parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::new_puos(EMPTY_WORDING); puos->at_least = FALSE; puos->value = val; puos->language_for_pragma = Str::new(); WRITE_TO(puos->language_for_pragma, "%+W", GET_RW(<use-memory-setting>, 1)); puos->content_of_pragma = Str::new(); WRITE_TO(puos->content_of_pragma, "%+W", GET_RW(<use-memory-setting>, 2)); Str::delete_first_character(puos->content_of_pragma); Str::delete_last_character(puos->content_of_pragma); ==> { -1, puos }
- This code is used in §4.
§4.4. Make an exact setting4.4 =
int val = R[1]; parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::new_puos(GET_RW(<use-setting>, 1)); puos->at_least = FALSE; puos->value = val; ==> { val, puos }
- This code is used in §4 (twice).
§2.1. Set a single use option2.1 =
wording S = Node::get_text(p); if (<use-inter-pipeline>(S)) Set the pipeline given in this word range2.1.1 else if (<use-index-language>(S)) Set index language2.1.2 else if (<use-memory-setting>(S)) Set a memory setting2.1.3 else Set the option given in this word range2.1.4
- This code is used in §2.
§2.1.1. This is an undocumented feature used during the transition from I6 to Inter:
Set the pipeline given in this word range2.1.1 =
wording CW = GET_RW(<use-inter-pipeline>, 1); if (global_pass_state.pass == 1) { TEMPORARY_TEXT(p) WRITE_TO(p, "%W", CW); Str::delete_first_character(p); Str::delete_last_character(p); Supervisor::set_inter_pipeline(p); DISCARD_TEXT(p) }
- This code is used in §2.1.
§2.1.2. This is a somewhat experimental feature, too. For now, it is a deliberate choice to fail silently if no such language is available.
Set index language2.1.2 =
wording CW = GET_RW(<use-index-language>, 1); TEMPORARY_TEXT(name) WRITE_TO(name, "%+W", CW); inform_language *L = Languages::find_for(name, Projects::nest_list(Task::project())); DISCARD_TEXT(name) if (L) Projects::set_language_of_index(Task::project(), L); else LOG("Cannot find language %S: ignoring use option\n", name);
- This code is used in §2.1.
§2.1.3. ICL, the "Inform 6 control language", is a set of a pragma-like settings for the I6 compiler. Of course, in the age in Inter, those might well be ignored, since the compiler next down the chain may no longer be I6.
See Use Options (in runtime) for what happens to these.
Set a memory setting2.1.3 =
parsed_use_option_setting *puos = (parsed_use_option_setting *) <<rp>>; if (Str::len(puos->language_for_pragma) > 0) { NewUseOptions::pragma_setting(puos); } else { int n = <<r>>, w1 = Wordings::first_wn(S); TEMPORARY_TEXT(icl_identifier) WRITE_TO(icl_identifier, "%+W", Wordings::one_word(w1)); NewUseOptions::memory_setting(icl_identifier, n); DISCARD_TEXT(icl_identifier) }
- This code is used in §2.1.
§2.1.4. Whereas this is the standard use option syntax:
Set the option given in this word range2.1.4 =
parsed_use_option_setting *puos = UseOptions::parse_setting(S); if (global_pass_state.pass > 1) { if (puos->resolved_option) NewUseOptions::set(puos); else { LOG("Used: %W\n", S); StandardProblems::sentence_problem(Task::syntax_tree(), _p_(PM_UnknownUseOption), "that isn't a 'Use' option known to me", "and needs to be one of the ones listed in the documentation."); } }
- This code is used in §2.1.
