NAME

       Uil — Invokes the UIL compiler from within an application "Uil" "uil functions" "Uil" "uil
       compiler"

SYNOPSIS

       #include <uil/UilDef.h>

       Uil_status_type Uil(
       Uil_command_type *command_desc,
       Uil_compile_desc_type **compile_desc,
       Uil_continue_type (*message_cb) (),
       char *message_data,
       Uil_continue_type (*status_cb) (),
       char *status_data);

DESCRIPTION

       The Uil function provides a callable entry point for the UIL compiler.  The  Uil  callable
       interface  can  be used to process a UIL source file and to generate UID files, as well as
       return a detailed description of the UIL source module in  the  form  of  a  symbol  table
       (parse tree).

       command_desc
                 Specifies the uil command line.

       compile_desc
                 Returns the results of the compilation.

       message_cb
                 Specifies a callback function that is called when the compiler encounters errors
                 in the UIL source.

       message_data
                 Specifies  user  data  that  is  passed  to  the   message   callback   function
                 (message_cb).  Note  that  this  argument is not interpreted by UIL, and is used
                 exclusively by the calling application.

       status_cb Specifies a callback function that is called to allow X applications to  service
                 X  events  such as updating the screen. This function is called at various check
                 points,  which  have   been   hard   coded   into   the   UIL   compiler.    The
                 status_update_delay  argument  in  command_desc  specifies  the  number of check
                 points to be passed before the status_cb function is invoked.

       status_data
                 Specifies user data that is passed to the status callback function  (status_cb).
                 Note  that  this  argument  is  not  interpreted by the UIL compiler and is used
                 exclusively by the calling application.

       Following are the data structures Uil_command_type and Uil_compile_desc_type:

       typedef struct Uil_command_type {
       char *source_file;
           /* single source to compile */
       char *resource_file; /* name of output file */
       char *listing_file; /* name of listing file */
       unsigned int *include_dir_count;
           /* number of dirs. in include_dir */
       char *((*include_dir) []);
           /* dir. to search for include files */
       unsigned listing_file_flag: 1;
           /* produce a listing */
       unsigned resource_file_flag: 1;
           /* generate UID output */
       unsigned machine_code_flag: 1;
           /* generate machine code */
       unsigned report_info_msg_flag: 1;
           /* report info messages */
       unsigned report_warn_msg_flag: 1;
           /* report warnings */
       unsigned parse_tree_flag: 1;
           /* generate parse tree */
       unsigned int status_update_delay;
           /* number of times a status point is */
           /* passed before calling status_cb */
           /* function 0 means called every time */
       char *database;
           /* name of database file */
       unsigned database_flag: 1;
           /* read a new database file */
       unsigned use_setlocale_flag: 1;
           /* enable calls to setlocale */
       };
       typedef struct Uil_compile_desc_type {
       unsigned int compiler_version;
           /* version number of compiler */
       unsigned int data_version;
           /* version number of structures */
       char *parse_tree_root; /* parse tree output */
       unsigned int message_count [Uil_k_max_status+1];
       /* array of severity counts */
       };

       Following is a description of the message callback function specified by message_cb:

       Uil_continue_type (*message_cb) (message_data, message_number, severity, msg_buffer,
       src_buffer, ptr_buffer, loc_buffer, message_count)
               char *message_data;
               int message_number;
               int severity;
               char *msg_buffer, *src_buffer;
               char *ptr_buffer, *loc_buffer;
               int message_count[];

       This function specifies a callback function that UIL invokes instead of printing an  error
       message  when  the  compiler  encounters  an error in the UIL source.  The callback should
       return one of the following values:

       Uil_k_terminate
                 Terminate processing of the source file

       Uil_k_continue
                 Continue processing the source file

       The arguments are

       message_data
                 Data supplied by the  application  as  the  message_data  argument  to  the  Uil
                 function.  UIL does not interpret this data in any way; it just passes it to the
                 callback.

       message_number
                 An index into a table of error messages and severities for internal use by UIL.

       severity  An integer that indicates the severity of the error.  The  possible  values  are
                 the  status  constants  returned by the Uil function.  See Return Value for more
                 information.

       msg_buffer
                 A string that describes the error.

       src_buffer
                 A string consisting of the source line where the error occurred.  This string is
                 not always available. In this case, the argument is NULL.

       ptr_buffer
                 A  string  consisting  of  whitespace  and a printing character in the character
                 position corresponding to  the  column  of  the  source  line  where  the  error
                 occurred.   This  string  may  be  printed  beneath the source line to provide a
                 visual indication of the column where the error occurred.  This  string  is  not
                 always available. In this case, the argument is NULL.

       loc_buffer
                 A string identifying the line number and file of the source line where the error
                 occurred.  This is not always available; the argument is then NULL.

       message_count
                 An array of integers containing the number of diagnostic  messages  issued  thus
                 far  for  each  severity  level.   To find the number of messages issued for the
                 current severity level, use the severity argument as the index into this array.

       Following is a description of the status callback function specified by status_cb:

       Uil_continue_type (*status_cb) (status_data, percent_complete,
               lines_processed, current_file, message_count)
               char *status_data;
               int percent_complete;
               int lines_processed;
               char *current_file;
               int message_count[];

       This function specifies a callback function that is invoked to  allow  X  applications  to
       service  X  events  such  as  updating  the screen.  The callback should return one of the
       following values:

       Uil_k_terminate
                 Terminate processing of the source file

       Uil_k_continue
                 Continue processing the source file

       The arguments are

       status_data
                 Data supplied by  the  application  as  the  status_data  argument  to  the  Uil
                 function.  UIL does not interpret this data in any way; it just passes it to the
                 callback.

       percent_complete
                 An integer indicating what percentage  of  the  current  source  file  has  been
                 processed so far.

       lines_processed
                 An  integer  indicating how many lines of the current source file have been read
                 so far.

       current_file
                 A string containing the pathname of the current source file.

       message_count
                 An array of integers containing the number of diagnostic  messages  issued  thus
                 far  for each severity level.  To find the number of messages issued for a given
                 severity level, use the severity level  as  the  index  into  this  array.   The
                 possible  severity levels are the status constants returned by the Uil function.
                 See Return Value for more information.
