.SH NAME
|
|
qfcc \- The QuakeForge Code Compiler
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B qfcc
|
|
.RI [ options ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fBqfcc\fP compiles Ruamoko source into a form that the QuakeForge server can
|
|
understand.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
\fBqfcc\fP takes the following arguments:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-s, \-\-source DIR
|
|
look for progs.src in DIR instead of the current directory.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-q, \-\-quiet
|
|
Inhibit some of qfcc's normal output.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-v, \-\-verbose
|
|
Display more output than usual.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-code OPTION,...
|
|
Set code generation options. See \fBCODE GENERATION OPTIONS\fP for details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-\-warn OPTION,...
|
|
Set warning options. See \fBWARNING OPTIONS\fP for details.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-g, \-\-debug
|
|
Synonym for \fB\-\-code debug\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-h, \-\-help
|
|
Show summary of options.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-V, \-\-version
|
|
Show the version of qfcc.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-D, \-\-define SYMBOL[=VAL],...
|
|
Define symbols for the preprocessor, if it is in use.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-I, \-\-include DIR,...
|
|
Add DIR to the list of directories for the preprocessor to search when looking
|
|
for include files.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B \-U, \-\-undefine SYMBOL,...
|
|
Undefine preprocessor symbols, if the preprocessor is in use.
|
|
.SH "CODE GENERATION OPTIONS"
|
|
Code generation options are processed in the order of their appearance on the
|
|
command line. Unsupported options are ignored. The following options are
|
|
supported by \fBqfcc\fP's \fB\-\-code\fP argument:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B cow
|
|
Allow assignment to initialized globals. In Quake-C and Ruamoko, a global
|
|
that has been initialized to a value is not a variable, but a named constant.
|
|
However, \fBqcc\fP never really enforced this. The \fBcow\fP option allows
|
|
\fBqfcc\fP to gracefully cope with QuakeC source that assigns values to
|
|
initialized globals in this manner. (also known as "copy on write" \(em never
|
|
mind the bovine connotations)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B debug
|
|
Generate debug code for QuakeForge engines. The QuakeForge engine has the
|
|
ability to load line number info and other debugging information for use in
|
|
diagnosing progs crashes. This option tells \fBqfcc\fP to generate this
|
|
information. It is written to a secondary file with the extension "sym" \(em
|
|
if your output file is "progs.dat", the symbol file will be "progs.sym".
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B v6only
|
|
Restrict the compiler to only version 6 progs (original Quake/QuakeWorld)
|
|
features. This means that the compiled data file should be able to run on
|
|
older servers, as long as you have not used any QuakeForge-specific built-in
|
|
functions. Also disables some of the compiler's features (like integers and
|
|
string manipulation support).
|
|
.SH "WARNING OPTIONS"
|
|
Warning options are processed in the order of their appearance on the command
|
|
line. Unsupported options are ignored. The following options are supported by
|
|
\fBqfcc\fP's \fB\-\-warn\fP argument:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B cow
|
|
Emit a warning when the source assigns a value to a named constant. See the
|
|
description of the \fBcow\fP code option above for a description of what this
|
|
means.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B undef\-function
|
|
Emit a warning when a function is called, but has not yet been defined.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B uninited\-var
|
|
Emit a warning when a variable is read from that has not been initalized to a
|
|
value.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B vararg\-integer
|
|
Emit a warning when a function that takes a variable number of arguments is
|
|
passed a constant of an integer type.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B error
|
|
Promote warnings to errors.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Any of the above can be prefixed with \fBno\-\fP to negate its meaning. There
|
|
are also two special options:
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B all
|
|
Turns on all warning options except \fBerror\fP.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B none
|
|
Turns off all warning options except \fBerror\fP.
|
|
.SH "FAQ"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Where did the name Ruamoko come from?
|
|
In Maori mythology, Ruamoko is the youngest child of Ranginui, the
|
|
Sky\-father, and Papatuanuku, the Earth\-mother. Ruamoko is the god of
|
|
volcanoes and earthquakes \fB(Quake, get it?)\fP. For more information, see
|
|
the Web site at <\fBhttp://maori.com/kmst1.htm\fP>.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B qfcc is singing a bad 80s rap song to me. What's going on?
|
|
"ice ice baby" is QuakeForge-speak for "Internal Compiler Error". It usually
|
|
means there's a bug in qfcc, so please report it to the team.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B qfcc is mooing at me. What's wrong with you people?
|
|
The compiler doesn't like being treated like a slab of beef. Seriously, the
|
|
code you are trying to compile is using constants as if they weren't.
|
|
Normally, qfcc would just stop and tell the code to sit in the corner for a
|
|
while, but you told it not to do that by passing the \fBcow\fP option to
|
|
\fB\-\-code\fP, so it has its revenge by mooing out a warning. Or something
|
|
like that. To disable the warning, pass \fBno-cow\fP to \fB\-\-warn\fP.

.SH AUTHORS
|
|
The original \fBqcc\fP program, for compiling the QuakeC language, was written
|
|
by Id Software, Inc. The members of the QuakeForge Project have modified it to
|
|
work with a new, but very similar language called \fBRuamoko\fP.
