Compiler Interface

Compilation-unit settings, external-function attributes, and assorted utilities. None of these may be overloaded.

Compiler Flags

ExceptionsEnabled?

// If exceptions are enabled in this compilation unit:
alias ExceptionsEnabled? = true;
// Otherwise:
alias ExceptionsEnabled? = false;

A global alias set to true when exceptions are enabled for the current compilation, false otherwise.

Flag?

[name | Identifier?(name)]
Flag?(static name) : Bool;

true if the compiler was invoked with a -D<name> or -D<name>=value matching name.

Flag

[name | Identifier?(name)]
Flag(static name);

Returns the value of the compiler flag -D<name>=value as a static string. If no such flag was given, or the flag was given without a value, returns the empty static string #"".

External Function Attributes

These symbols may be used as attributes on external function declarations.

Calling Convention

Attribute	Effect
AttributeCCall	C calling convention
AttributeStdCall	__stdcall (Windows x86)
AttributeFastCall	__fastcall (Windows x86)
AttributeThisCall	__thiscall (Windows x86)
AttributeLLVMCall	LLVM ccc calling convention

Linkage

Attribute	Effect
AttributeDLLImport	__dllimport linkage on Windows targets
AttributeDLLExport	__dllexport linkage on Windows targets

Miscellaneous

staticIntegers

[n | n >= 0]
staticIntegers(static n);

Returns a multiple-value list of static integers from static 0 up to static n - 1. staticIntegers(static 0) returns no values.
