22 ; This file is processed by the script opts.sh. It is a database of
23 ; command line options, with each record separated by a blank line,
24 ; and each field appearing on its own line. The first field is the
25 ; command-line switch with the leading "-" removed. All options
26 ; beginning with "f" or "W" are implicitly assumed to take a "no-"
27 ; form; this form should not be listed. If you do not want this
28 ; negative form and you want it to be automatically rejected, add
29 ; RejectNegative to the second field.
31 ; The second field is a space-separated list of which parts of the
32 ; compiler recognize the switch, as declared by "Language" entries.
33 ; If the switch takes an argument, then you should also specify
34 ; "Joined" and/or "Separate" to indicate where the argument can
35 ; appear. If a Joined argument can legitimately be omitted, specify
36 ; "JoinedOrMissing" instead of "Joined". If the argument to a switch
37 ; is a non-negative integer, you can specify "UInteger" and the switch
38 ; decoder will convert the argument for you, or complain to the user
39 ; if the argument is invalid. "Var(name,set)" creates an integer
40 ; variable "name". The variable is declared and initialized to value
41 ; given by "Init(value)" (or zero if this property is not defined).
42 ; When the option is passed to compiler, this variable is set to "set"
43 ; if value passed through the flag is nonzero, !"set" if value is zero,
44 ; or to value if "set" is omitted. If "VarExists" is specified, the
45 ; declaration for the variable is not created. If "Report" is specified,
46 ; the flag is output with -fverbose-asm.
48 ; The third field is the help text to output with --help. This is
49 ; automatically line-wrapped on output. Normally the switch is output
50 ; automatically, with the help text on the right hand side of the
51 ; output. However, if the help text contains a tab character, the
52 ; text to the left of the tab is output instead of the switch, and the
53 ; text to its right forms the help. This is useful for elaborating on
54 ; what type of argument a switch takes, for example. If the second
55 ; field contains "Undocumented" then nothing is output with --help.
56 ; Only do this with good reason like the switch being internal between
57 ; the driver and the front end - it is not an excuse to leave a switch
60 ; Comments can appear on their own line anwhere in the file, preceded
61 ; by a semicolon. Whitespace is permitted before the semicolon.
63 ; For each switch XXX below, an enumeration constant is created by the
64 ; script opts.sh spelt OPT_XXX, but with all non-alphanumeric
65 ; characters replaced with an underscore.
67 ; Please try to keep this file in ASCII collating order.
