#80 Adding the possiblity to compile a law using python module

[Lucie Berthon]

Instead of doing a os.command avec "mfront --obuild --interface=" etc.

Hi Lucie,

MFront relies on external tools, called generators, for this step
(this semantic is the same than the one used by cmake).

The only available generator is currently the Makefile generator,
handled by the MakefileGenerator class. This generator can be used
as follows:

import mfront
dsl = mfront.getDSL("Chaboche.mfront")

dsl.setInterfaces(['castem'])
dsl.analyseFile("Chaboche.mfront")
dsl.generateOutputFiles()

m = mfront.MakefileGenerator()
m.exe(dsl.getTargetsDescription())

The exe methods provides several overloads and may accept an additional argument of type GeneratorOptions which let the user specifiy the optimisation level to be used.

Regards,
Thomas
