NAME

       ecc - eC Compiler

SYNOPSIS

       ecc [-t target-platform]
           [-cpp C-preprocessor]
           [-defaultns default-namespace]
           [-strictns]
           [-memguard]
           [-nolinenumbers]
           [understood-C-flags]
           -c input
           [-o output]
           [-symbols intermediate-dir]

DESCRIPTION

       ecc will compile the eC source file specified in input to intermediate C code.

       Additionnally,  it will generate the symbols import files (.imp) and (if the compiled source contains any
       internationalizable string) partial translation strings catalogs (.bowl)  used  by  ecs  to  produce  the
       symbol loader, and generate the module's translation template (.pot).

       ecc  relies  on  the  symbols  (.sym)  for the input source as well as any other eC source files imported
       within it to be precompiled by ecp, and found in intermediate-dir.

OPTIONS

   Output
       -o output The location and name for the output intermediate C file
       (Defaults to the location and name of input with the .ec extension replaced by .c)

   Intermediate Directory
       -symbols intermediate-dir

       Location of symbols (.sym) output from precompiler (ecp), and where to output  import  files  (.imp)  and
       partial translation strings catalogs (.bowl)

   Platform
       -t target-platform

       Where target-platform is one of: win32 linux apple
       (Defaults to the host platform if not specified)

   Toolchain Options
       -cpp C-preprocessor

       Which C preprocessor to use (defaults to gcc)

   Namespace Options
       -defaultns default-namespace

          Assume  all  classes and namespaces defined in source file are within the namespace default-namespace.
       This does not affect constructs defined with the  default  access  mode,  which  are  non-mangled  and  C
       compatible.

       -strictns
          Do  not  automatically resolve constructs within namespaces and sub-namespaces. All classes, functions
       and defines must then be explicitly qualified with their full namespaces.

   Debugging Options
       -memguard
          Generate MemoryGuard function call stack information for use with MemoryGuard.  To enable MemoryGuard,
       the MemoryGuard configuration of the Ecere runtime library must be used.  The easiest way  to  do  so  is
       adding the ecere runtime library project (sdk/ecere/ecere.epj) to the workspace, toggle its configuration
       to  "MemoryGuard"  and build it.  MemoryGuard can then be toggled by toggling the active configuration of
       the ecere project.

       -nolinenumbers
          Omit outputting eC source file line numbers in generated C file.

   Understood C Flags
       -Iincludedir

       -isystem|-isysroot sysincludedir

       -Ddefinition

       -m32
