Build subcommand
The build subcommand can be used to compile your Spice project to an executable file and save it to the current directory.
Usage¶
Options¶
You can apply following options to the build subcommand:
| Option | Long | Description |
|---|---|---|
-d | --debug-output | Print compiler output for debugging. |
-cst | --dump-cst | Dump CST as serialized string and SVG image |
-ast | --dump-ast | Dump AST as serialized string and SVG image |
-symtab | --dump-symtab | Dump serialized symbol tables |
-types | --dump-types | Dump all used types |
-ir | --dump-ir | Dump LLVM-IR |
-s, -asm | --dump-assembly | Dump Assembly code |
-b, -obj | --dump-object-file | Dump object files |
| - | --dump-to-files | Redirect all dumps to files instead of printing them to the screen |
| - | --abort-after-dump | Abort the compilation process after dumping the first requested resource |
-j <n> | --jobs <n> | Set number of jobs to parallelize compilation (default is auto) |
-t | --target | Target triple for the emitted executable (for cross-compiling). Format: <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi> |
-o | --output | Set path for executable output. |
-O<n> | - | Set optimization level. Valid options: -O0, -O1, -O2, -O3, -Os, -Oz |
-m | --build-mode | Controls the build mode. Valid values are debug, release and test. |
-lto | - | Enable link-time-optimization |
-g | --debug-info | Generate debug info to debug the executable in GDB, etc. |
| - | --static | Produce stand-alone executable by linking statically |
| - | --no-entry | Do not require or generate main function (useful for web assembly target) |
| - | --disable-verifier | Disable LLVM module and function verification (only recommended for debugging the compiler) |
| - | --ignore-cache | Compile always and ignore the compile cache |
| - | --use-lifetime-markers | Generate lifetime markers to enhance optimizations |
