Compiler Switches
It is occasionally necessary for you to pass switches to the assembler
or compiler in a COMPILE, LOAD, EXECUTE, or DEBUG command. For each
translation (assembly or compilation), the COMPIL program sends a
command string to the translator, containing three parts:
1. Binary output file specification.
2. Listing file specification.
3. Source file specification.
To include switches with these files, you must do the following:
o Group the switches according to each related source file, if
you use the + construction.
o Group the switches according to the three types of files for
each source file. The order of the groups of switches is
a. Binary
b. Listing
c. Source
o Separate the groups of switches by commas for each source
file.
o Enclose all switches for each source file within one set of
parentheses.
o Place each parenthetical string immediately after the source
file to which it refers.
The COMPIL program interprets the groups of switches according to
these rules:
o The switches immediately before a closing right parenthesis
are source (SSSS).
o The switches before the first comma are binary (BBBB,,).
o The switches before the second comma are listing (,LLLL,).
o The order of the switches is BBBB, LLLL, SSSS.
o The individual switches are separated by spaces.
o The switches contain no more than 150 characters in all.
o The switches contain only the following non-alphanumeric
characters within the parentheses: colon (:), hyphen (-),
slash (/), comma (,), and parentheses.
Examples
(SSSS) Source switch
(BBBB,,) Binary switch
(BBBB,LLLL,SSSS) Binary, list, and source switches
(,,SSSS) Source switch(es)
(,LLLL,) Listing switch(es)
(BBBB,,SSSS) Binary and source switches
(BBBB,LLLL,) Binary and list switches
(,LLLL,SSSS) List and source switches
The processor switches are listed below, with their meanings and the
types of files to which they apply.
Processor Switches
Processor Binary Listing Source Meaning
ALGOL D Set dynamic storage region
for your own array (known as
the heap).
E The source file has line
numbers in columns 73 to 80.
L List the source program.
N Suppress output of error
messages on the terminal.
Q Delimit the words in quotes.
S Suppress the listing of the
source program.
COBOL A A A Allow the listing of code
generated.
C Produce a cross-referenced
listing of all user-defined
items in the source program.
E E E Check the program for errors,
but do not generate code.
I Suppress generation of the
starting address of a main
program.
J Force a starting address to
be generated for a
subprogram.
L Use the preceding file
descriptor as a library file
whenever the COPY verb is
encountered.
M M M Print a map showing the
parameters of the
user-defined items.
N Suppress output of source
errors on the terminal.
P Do not generate trace calls
and symbols.
R Produce a two-segment object
program. The high segment
contains the resident
sections of the Procedure
division; the low segment
contains everything else.
When the object program is
loaded, LIBOL is added to the
high segment.
S S S The source file has sequence
numbers in columns 1 through
6 and comments starting at
column 73.
W W W Rewind the magnetic tape.
Z Z Z Zero the DECtape directory.
FORTRAN-10 C Generate a file that is to be
input to the CREF program.
E Include the octal-formatted
version of the object file in
the listing.
I Translate the letter D in
column 1 as a space, and
treat the line as a normal
FORTRAN statement.
M Add the mnemonic translation
of the object code to the
listing file.
NOE NOE Suppress output of error
messages on the terminal.
NOW NOW Suppress output of warning
messages on the terminal.
O Perform optimization of
global symbols when producing
processor code.
S Perform compilation, checking
for syntax errors only.
MACRO A A A Advance the magnetic tape
reel by one file.
B B B Backspace the magnetic tape
reel by one file.
C Produce a listing file in a
format acceptable as input to
CREF.
E List the macro expansions.
F Byte sizes match the format
of the instruction.
G Byte sizes are two 18-bit
fields.
L Reinstate listing (used after
list suppression by S
switch).
M Suppress ASCII test in macro
and repeat the expansion
(SALL).
N Suppress output of error
messages on the terminal.
O O O Allow literals to occupy only
one file.
P Increase the size of the
pushdown list.
Q Q Q Suppress questionable (Q)
error indications on the
listing.
S Suppress the listing.
T T T Skip to the logical end of
the magnetic tape.
X Suppress all macro
expansions.
Z Z Zero the DECtape directory.
The following are examples of the use of switches:
Examples
.DEBUG TEST(,N,) Suppress error message during
assembly.
.COMPILE OUTPUT=MTA0:(M,W)/L Rewind the magtape (W),
compile the first file, and
include the MACRO coding in
the output listing file (M).
Output files are given the
names OUTPUT.REL and
OUTPUT.LST.
.COMPILE/MACRO A=MTA0:(,Q,W)/L Rewind the magtape (W),
compile the first file, and
suppress Q (questionable)
error indications in the
listing. When a binary switch
is not present, the delimiting
comma must appear.
.COMPILE/MACRO A=MTA0:(,Q,)/L Compile the file at the
current position of the tape
and suppress Q error
indications on the listing.
When the source and binary
switches are not present, the
delimiting commas must appear.
.COMPILE FOO (NOWARN DEBUG) Compile the file named FOO
using the F10 source switches
NOWARN and DEBUG.
