Package eu.bandm.tools.option

Class Compiler

java.lang.Object
eu.bandm.tools.option.Compiler
public class Compiler extends Object
Compile java source for different front-ends for editing, saving, decoding etc. program options, from an abstract option and type description.

The abstract description is given as an XML document. Its document type and semantics are discussed in the user documentation.
The compiled code is executed on the basis of the run-time system in package eu.bandm.tools.option.runtime
Each run generates code for one class derivend from Model and one optional from Gui. Both will be in the same package, so that "protected" fields and methods are mutally accessible.
The process of parsing is a complicated ping-pong between runtime class and generated code and documented with Model.

In BandM meta-tools one currently finds examples for all important special cases:

fragmentedListsxslt/base/Options.xml : sourceRoots, etc.
option w/o argument ("switch") tdom_withOptions : patterns, noCompress, etc.

  • Field Details

    • NAME_PROGRAM

      public static final String NAME_PROGRAM
      Used only as argument to Formats.generationComment(String,String,int,boolean,String[]). Therefore an html encoding is sensible.
      See Also:

    • VERSION_PROGRAM

      public static final String VERSION_PROGRAM
      See Also:

    • formatCache

      protected Map<String,Format> formatCache

    • LINGUA_FRANCA

      public static final String LINGUA_FRANCA
      Language selection for generating source comments and for the unparamterized usage() method. Since the lingua franca of the computer area is English, these documentation texts are taken for program documentation = API documentation (NOT user documentation like "usage()" and error messages). It will also be used as the fall-back for usage() if some doc text in the required language does not exist. If even a text in LINGUA_FRANCA does not exist, a language will be chosen by random.
