| ===== Common command-line options ===== | |
| | |
| ACT tools that use the core act library all accept the following command-line options. These options should come first, before any tool-specific options: | |
| * ''-T//techname//'': changes the technology [[config:start|configuration files]] to ''techname''. This specifies that the config files are in directory ''$ACT_HOME/conf/''//techname//. If an absolute path is specified, then that path is used as the directory location for configuration files. | |
| * ''-D//name//=//value//'': defines the specified parameter (either a ''pbool'' or a ''pint'') as a global parameter that can then by used by the ACT file | |
| * ''-cnf=//file//'': reads in the specified file as an ACT configuration file (after the default files for the specified technology) | |
| * ''-W//name//:on'' or ''-W//name//:off'': turn on/off warnings. ''name'' can be: | |
| * ''empty_select'' : warn if all the guards in a selection statement in ACT are false. | |
| * ''dup_pass'' : warn if an ACT tool registers a duplicate pass. | |
| * ''no_local_driver'' : warn if a local variable doesn't have a driver if detected during some of the ACT analysis passes. | |
| * ''double_expand'' : warn if an ACT tool attempts to expand an already expanded ACT object. | |
| * ''lang_subst'' : warn if an ACT tool uses a different language body within a process than the default choice. | |
| * ''all'' : turn on all warnings | |
| * ''-V//name//'': turn on verbose log messages in the ACT library. Currently ''name'' can be: | |
| * ''config'' : print out absolute paths for the config files read. This goes to stderr by default | |
| * ''-log=//file//'': save log messages to the specified file | |
| * ''-lev=//level//'': set log level flags | |
| * ''-opt=//str//'': set option string for ACT ''getopt()'' API | |
| | |
| An individual project might want to include a standard set of ACT options (e.g. -T//tech//) for all ACT tool invocations. The environment variable ''ACT_STD_CMDLINE'' can be set to the standard command-line options. | |
