FunctionCompileExportLibrary
FunctionCompileExportLibrary[file,fspec]
exports a compiled version of function specification fspec as a shared library suitable for external use.
FunctionCompileExportLibrary[file,defs,fspec]
uses the auxiliary definitions defs for compilation.
Details and Options

- FunctionCompileExportLibrary generates a library suitable for use on the type of computer on which it is run.
- Functions can be given as a Function pure function, a list of pure functions or an association of pure functions.
- Auxiliary definitions can be given with FunctionDeclaration or by giving a CompilerEnvironment option.
- The following library types are generated on different types of systems:
-
Macintosh .dylib Windows .dll Linux .so - The following option can be given:
-
CompilerEnvironment Automatic an environment of definitions for compilation ProgressReporting Automatic how to report progress during the compilation - By default, FunctionCompileExportLibrary creates a library in the current directory given by Directory[].
- FunctionCompileExportLibrary has the option CompilerOptions, which allows detailed options to be passed to different parts of the compilation pipeline.
- The library generated by FunctionCompileExportLibrary is suitable for linking into external programs. It can also be loaded into the Wolfram System using LibraryFunctionLoad.

Export a compiled version of a function into a library:
Load the library and create a CompiledCodeFunction:
Execute the function in the CompiledCodeFunction:
The file can be an absolute path:
Several functions can be compiled with FunctionCompileExportLibrary:
Loading the library creates a list of compiled code functions:

Options (2)
CompilerEnvironment (1)
Create a compiler environment and add a function definition:
Use a compiler environment in a compilation:
Loading the library creates a CompiledCodeFunction:
ProgressReporting (1)
Progress during a compilation is reported:
This can be suppressed by setting the option ProgressReporting to False.
The default value of ProgressReporting is Automatic, which means that the global setting $ProgressReporting is used. If this is set to False, then no progress reporting takes place.
