Sample Hello module

For example, we create a module Hello what is part of subsystem Priv (e.g. it located at path Priv/Mod/Hello.cp).

Hello.cp

MODULE PrivHello;
IMPORT Out;
BEGIN
  Out.String ("Hello world!"); Out.Ln
END PrivHello.

Parameters

CompilerOptions

• checks - (0): Enable index range checks and type guard checks (inxchk, typchk & ptrinit in DevCPC486) (default).
• allchecks - (1): Enable overflow checks and range checks (ovflchk & ranchk in DevCPC486).
• assert - (2): Execute ASSERT instructions (assert in DevCPV486) (default).
• obj - (3): Enable code output (outObj in DevCPE) (default except in interface modules).
• ref - (4): Record references to variables (outRef in DevCPE) (default).
• allref - (5): Record more references, about RECORDs & static ARRAYs (outAllRef & outURef in DevCPE) (default).
• srcpos - (6): Record positions in source (outSrc in DevCPE) (default).
• hint - (29): Insert additional error marks (warnings) in source text (hint in DevCompiler.Module & hints in DevCPC486).
• oberon - (30): Compatibility with Oberon, relative to the use of IN and OUT (oberon in DevCPM.options).
• errorTrap - (31): Makes the compiler trap (HALT(100)) if an error in the source is detected (trap in DevCPM.options).

Default compiler options are {checks, assert, obj, ref, allref, srcpos, signatures}.

CompilerOptions is a combination of options in one string. Valid characters are '-', '!', '+', '$', '?' and '@'.

• first '-' excludes srcpos from compiler options.
• second '-' excludes allref from compiler options.
• third '-' excludes ref from compiler options.
• fourth '-' excludes obj from compiler options.
• first '!' excludes assert from compiler options.
• second '!' excludes checks from compiler options.
• '+' includes allchecks into compiler options.
• '?' includes hint into compiler options.
• '@' includes errorTrap into compiler options.
• '$' includes oberon into compiler options.

Paths

All paths are relative to root directory of all subsystems.

Sample Project

In order to build program for native OS you need create a project document for module "PrivHello".
