CreateObjectFile


compiles a string of C code and creates an executable file, .

compiles a number of C source files and creates a library file, .
MORE INFORMATION
  • To use , you first need to load the CCompilerDriver package using Needs.
  • If source is a string, treats it as C code. If source is a list of one or more strings, it treats it as a list of files that contain C code.
  • If cannot find a suitable C compiler, it issues a message and returns $Failed.
  • The extension given to the object file depends on the platform on which it is created.
  • The following options can be given:
"Compiler"Automaticthe compiler to use
"CleanIntermediate"Automaticwhether temporary files should be deleted
"CreateBinary"Truewhether the object file should be created
"CompileOptions"""options to pass through to the compiler
"CompilerInstallation"Automaticlocation of the compiler software
"CompilerName"Automaticwhich compile command to use
"Debug"Falsecompiles with debug information, does not clean the intermediate output, and prints the compile commands and output
"Defines"{}C preprocessor defines to use for the build
"IncludeDirectories"{}directories to add to the include path
"Language"Automaticwhat language the source code is in (can be used to assume source is C or C++ rather than relying on automatic detection)
"PreCompileCommands"""shell commands to run before compilation
"PostCompileCommands"""shell commands to run after compilation
"ShellCommandFunction"Nonefunction to call with the shell commands used for compilation
"ShellOutputFunction"Nonefunction to call with the shell output of running the compilation commands
"SystemCompileOptions"{}options to pass through to the compiler before
"SystemIncludeDirectories"Automaticdirectories to locate Mathematica header files
"TargetDirectory"Automaticthe directory in which the executable file should be created
"TargetSystemID"$SystemIDthe system for which output should be generated
"WorkingDirectory"Automaticthe directory in which temporary files should be generated
