THEME_D_LINK(1)

NAME
theme-d-link - the Theme-D linker

SYNOPSIS
theme-d-link [ OPTION ] ... FILE

DESCRIPTION
Link the Theme-D pseudocode file FILE and Theme-D libraries it uses into Guile bytecode. The default bytecode filename is obtained by appending .go to the basename of FILE. Command theme-d-link creates an intermediate file either in Guile Tree-IL or Scheme and uses Guile to compile it into bytecode. The default suffix of the intermediate file is either .tree-il or .scm.

By default, the output file and the intermediate file are placed into the directory where the command theme-d-link is invoked.

OPTIONS

-o, --output=OUTPUTFILE
    Specify the compilation output file.

-m, --module-path=PATH
    Specify the search path for Theme-D modules. The path should be a list of directories separated with :'s. You can prefix or suffix the list with a colon in order to include the default Theme-D library path in the search path.

-l, --message-level=LEVEL
    Specify the message level of the compiler. The level has to be an integer number from 0 to 3. Value 0 means no output and value 3 the most verbose output.

-n, --intermediate-file=INTFILE
    Specify the intermediate filename.

-i, --intermediate-language=LANGUAGE
    Specify the intermediate language. Value LANGUAGE has to be either tree-il, tree-il-3.0, tree-il-2.2, scheme, or scheme-no-opt. When value tree-il is used the Tree-IL version for which Theme-D has been configured is used.

-x MODULE
    Link (load) module MODULE into the target program. The syntax of MODULE is (sym1...symn) in double quotes.

--no-final-compilation
    Do not compile the intermediate file with guild compile.

--no-strip
    Do not strip away unused code.

--no-factorization
    Do not factorize the type expressions out of procedure implementations.

--no-weak-assertions
    Do not check ordinary assertions. Strong assertions are always checked.

--backtrace
    Print backtrace on compilation error.

--pretty-print
    Pretty print the pseudocode output.

--no-verbose-errors
    Less information in the error messages.

--verbose-typechecks
    More information for runtime type errors.

--keep-intermediate
    Keep the intermediate Tree-IL or Scheme file. By default the intermediate file is deleted.

--link-to-cache
    Link the target bytecode file into the guile cache.

--runtime-pretty-backtrace
    Generate code to support runtime pretty printed backtraces.

--no-unlinked-procedure-names
    Do not generate code for reporting unlinked procedure names.

--module-debug-output
    Print debug messages when a module body linkage is started and ended.

--show-inst-number
    Show the numbers for instantiated expressions.

--check-all-primitives
    Check that primitive procedure result values match the result types for all primitives, including those defined with unchecked-prim-proc.

--duplicates=symbols
    Set the values passed to default-duplicate-binding-handler in the target program. If there are several symbols enclose them in quotes.

--split
    Split the linker output.

--split-dir=dir
    Set the directory where to put the split linker output.

--split-basename=name
    Split the basename for split linker output files.

--guile-opt-level=level
    Set the optimization level for final guile compilation. The default is 1.

--extra-guild-options=options
    Set extra guild options for the final compilation. If there are several options enclose the in quotes.

--no-inline-constructors
    Do not inline constructors in the linked code.

--no-optimization
    Use the nonoptimized Guile backend. This option has no effect if the Tree-IL backend is used.

--no-pair-class-optimization
    Do not optimize pair class typechecking.

--no-proc-arg-opt
    Do not optimize procedure arguments by inlining.

--unit-type=name
    Specify the source file unit type explicitly. The unit type has to be one of proper-program, script, body, or interface.

--module
    Link the file modularly to a Guile bytecode module.

--plugin
    Link the file modularly to a Theme-D plugin. This option implies --module. The file has to be a Theme-D module body.

--allow-dupl-foreign-classes
    Do not give an error if the same foreign class is used to implement several Theme-D foreign class definitions.

--guile-target-path=DIRS
    Set the Guile library path for final compilation. The argument DIRS has to be a colon-separated list of directories. You can prefix or suffix the list with a colon in order to include the default path in the search path.

--empty-guile-target-path
    Set GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH to an empty string. Normally the value of GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH is not modified if no Guile target path is given.

-M, --full-module-path=DIRS
    This option is equivalent to -m DIRS --guile-target-path=DIRS.

--version
    Show the Theme-D version number and exit.

TARGET PLATFORMS
The following intermediate languages are available:

tree-il
    Guile Tree-IL 3.0.

scheme
    Guile Scheme 3.0.

scheme0
    Guile Scheme 3.0 without optimizations.

ENVIRONMENT

THEME_D_CONFIG_FILE
    If this variable is defined its value is used as the Theme-D configuration file instead of the default configuration file.

FILES

/etc/theme-d-config
    The Theme-D configuration file.

~/.theme-d-config
    The Theme-D configuration file. This file should be normally present only if you use Theme-D in local mode.
