gac - Man Page

gac [-d] [-c|-C] [-o <output>] {-f<option>} <input> ...

GAC compiles GAP input files, which must be GAP source code (suffix '.g' or ´.gap'), C source code (suffix '.c'), or compiled code files (suffix '.o').

If neither -c nor -C is given, then gac compiles the code completely, producing a new kernel for static compilation or a dynamically loadable '.so' file for dynamic compilation.

-d,  --dynamic

Compile for dynamic loading.

-c,  --compile

Only compile the input files to '.o' object files, which must be further linked to make a static kernel or dynamically loadable module.

-C,  --create-c

Only compile the input files to C code, which will require compilation and linking to be usable.

-r

Statically compiled files are assumed to be given by pathnames relative to the GAP root, and will be compiled for automatic loading when files are sought relative to the GAP root.

-o,  --output <output>

Set the name of the output file.

-ffast-int-arith

Emit code for arithmetic operations which works faster if both operands are small integers, and slower otherwise.

-ffast-plain-lists

Emit code for list access which works faster if the list is a plain list, and slower otherwise.

-ffast-list-funcs

Inline the list functions 'Add' and 'Length', for a small speed boost.

-fno-check-types

Emit no error checks for element types, which improves performance but may result in a crash if an error happens.

-fno-check-list-elms

Emit no error checks for list access, which improves performance but may result in a crash if an error happens.

-p <option>

Pass the given option to the C compiler.

-P <option>

Pass the given option to the C linker.

-k,  --gap-compiler <path>

Use the given path to find the GAP binary, instead of the default.

-i,  --gap-include <path>

Use the given path to find the GAP header files, instead of the default.

-l,  --gap-binary <path>

Use the given path to find the GAP binary directory, instead of the default.
