NAME
ecppc - compiler for ecpp(7)
SYNOPSIS
ecppc [-bhszvtM] [-s-] [-o filename] [-n name] [-m mimetype] [--mimetypes filename] [-I dir] [-l
log-category] filename
ecppc -bb filename ...
DESCRIPTION
ecppc is the compiler for the ecpp-language. ecpp is a template language, which lets the user embed
C++-code into HTML for use in tntnet(8). ecppc generates a C++-class from a ecpp template. It can
also compile binary data into a C++-class, which makes it possible to integrate them in a tntnet
application.
OPTIONS
-b This enables binary-mode. Ecppc does not look for ecpp-tags, but creates a class, which just
copies the data
-bb This enables multi-binary-mode. Every binary-file has some overhead, when packed into a
tntnet-application. This overhead can be quite significant, when binary-files are small, like
small icons in a web application. To reduce this overhead, multiple binaries can be packed into a
single class, which removes the per-binary overhead completely.
When the component is called, it uses the path-info-parameter (request.getPathInfo()) from the
request, to decide, which binary to send. If no filename matches the path-info, processing is
declined. The binaries need not be of same mime-type, since the mime-type is looked automatically
from the mime-database by file- extension of the source-file.
-i filename
In multi binary mode (option -bb) filenames can be read from the file specified with this option.
This can be useful when the command line gets too long or just for convenience.
-I dir Search include-files in directory. This option can be passed multiple times. All specified
directories are searched in turn for include-files.
-l log-category
Set log category. Default is component.componentname.
-L Disable generation of #line-directives
-m mimetype
Set mimetype of output. This is the mimetype, sent by the component to the browser in the
Content-Type- header. Without this parameter the mimetype is looked up from the mime-database of
your system using the file-extension of the source-file.
--mimetypes file
Read mimetypes from file (default: /etc/mime.types).
-M This disables normal processing and prints just the ecpp-dependencies from this component. The
output can be included into a Makefile. Ecpp-dependencies are introduces by the <%include>-tag.
-n name
Set the name of the component. Normally this is derived from the source-file-name by removing the
path and .ecpp-extension.
-o filename
Write the generated file to the specified file instead of deriving the filename from the
source-file-name. The outputfilename is normally the source-file where the extension is replaced
by .cpp.
-p Keep path name when deriving name of component from input file name.
-s Generate singleton. Normally ecppc decides automatically, if the template is suitable for a
singleton. This option force ecppc to generate a singleton.
-s- Do not generate a singleton.
-v Enable verbose mode. This prints additional information about the processing on the
standard-output.
-z Compress the data in the component. Compressed data is automatically decopressed on first use.
This reduces the code-size, but slightly slows down the first call of the component.
