  33 .Nm cw
  34 .Op Fl C
  35 .Op Fl -versions
  36 .Op Fl -noecho

  41 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  42 .Nm cw
  43 is a facility for invoking one or more compilers, providing translation from
  44 Sun style arguments as appropriate.
  45 This allows the use of arbitrary compilers without the need to alter large
  46 numbers of makefiles.
  47 A mode called shadow compilation invokes multiple compilers so that warnings
  48 and errors may be obtained from all of them.
  49 See
  50 .Sx SHADOW COMPILATION
  51 for details.
  52 This version of cw supports compilers with both Sun Studio 12 and GCC-style
  53 command lines.
  54 .Sh ARGUMENTS
  55 Both the
  56 .Fl -primary
  57 and
  58 .Fl -shadow
  59 parameters take a
  60 .Em compiler specification .
  61 This is a comma-separated list of the form
  62 .Ar name,executable,style
  63 Where
  64 .Ar name
  65 is a name for the compiler,
  66 .Ar executable
  67 is the full path to the compiler executable, and
  68 .Ar style
  69 is the style of command-line options the compiler expects, either
  70 .Em sun
  71 or
  72 .Em gnu .
  73 .Bl -tag -width indent
  74 .It Fl -primary Ar compiler
  75 Specify the compiler to be used primarily (that which is used for link-editing
  76 and pre-processing, and whos objects we deliver).
  77 .It Fl -shadow Ar compiler
  78 Specify a shadow compiler, which builds sources for the sake of checking code
  79 quality and compatibility, but has its output discarded.
  80 .It Fl -noecho
  81 Do not echo the actual command line of any compilers invoked.
  82 .It Fl -versions
  83 Request from each configured primary and shadow compiler its version
  84 information.
  85 .It Fl C
  86 The sources being compiled are C++.  This is necessary as it affects the
  87 translation of compiler arguments.
  88 .It Fl -
  89 Arguments intended for the compilers themselves must be separated from those
  90 of
  91 .Nm cw
  92 by a
  93 .Fl - .
  94 .It Fl _name=
  95 .It Fl _style=
  96 Parameters intended for the compiler be guarded with options of the form
  97 .Fl _name=
  98 and
  99 .Fl _style=
 100 Where
 101 .Em name
 102 and
 103 .Em style
 104 are those passed to
 105 .Fl -primary
 106 and
 107 .Fl -shadow
 108 this allows certain flags to be passed only to certain classes of compiler.
 109 .Pp
 110 For historical reasons, the
 111 .Fl _style=
 112 option is also translated such that a style of
 113 .Em sun
 114 may use the flag
 115 .Fl _cc=
 116 and a style of
 117 .Em gnu
 118 may use the flag
 119 .Fl _gcc= ,
 120 and when the
 121 .Fl C
 122 option is given and C++ is in use the style of
 123 .Em sun
 124 may use the flag
 125 .Fl _CC=
 126 and the style of
 127 .Em gnu
 128 may use the flag
 129 .Fl _g++= .
 130 .El
 131 .Sh SHADOW COMPILATION
 132 If
 133 .Fl -shadow
 134 compilers are specified
 135 .Nm cw
 136 will invoke each shadow compiler, with the outputs modified (as well as any
 137 translation for compiler style) as follows:
 138 .Bl -enum
 139 .It
 140 If
 141 .Nm cw
 142 is invoked to link-edit without compilation (the input files are all objects),
 143 the shadow compiler is not invoked.
 144 .It
 145 If the
 146 .Fl o Ar filename
 147 option was provided, with or without a separating space, it will be replaced with
 148 .Fl o Ar tempfile
 149 .It
 150 If the option
 151 .Fl o
 152 was not provided,
 153 .Fl o Ar tempfile
 154 will be added to the end of the argument list used to invoke
 155 the shadow compilers.
 156 .El
 157 When shadow compilation is in effect,
 158 .Nm cw
 159 writes to standard error each compiler's standard error output following its
 160 argument list.
 161 Messages from the compilers will not be interleaved.
 162 If
 163 .Nm cw
 164 is used to invoke the preprocessor and no output location is specified,
 165 .Nm cw
 166 will write to standard output the primary compiler's standard output.
 167 .Pp
 168 Because the Sun compilers write intermediate objects to fixed
 169 filenames in the current directory when instructed to compile and
 170 link multiple source files via a single command line, it would be
 171 unsafe to invoke more than one compiler in this fashion.
 172 Therefore
 173 .Nm cw
 174 does not accept multiple source files unless the preprocessor is to be
 175 invoked.
 176 An attempt to invoke
 177 .Nm cw
 178 in this manner will result in an error.
 179 .Sh ARGUMENT TRANSLATION
 180 If the compiler to be invoked is a GNU-style C or C++ compiler, a set of
 181 default flags is added to the beginning of the argument list, and the
 182 remaining arguments are translated to their closest appropriate
 183 semantic equivalents and passed in the same order as their
 184 counterparts given to
 185 .Nm cw .
 186 See the comments at the head of
 187 .Pa usr/src/tools/cw/cw.c
 188 for a detailed list of translations.
 189 .Sh ENVIRONMENT
 190 .Bl -tag -width indent
 191 .It CW_SHADOW_SERIAL
 192 If this variable is set in the environment, invoke the primary compiler, wait
 193 for it to complete, then invoke the shadow compilers.
 194 Normally the primary and shadow compilers are invoked in parallel.
 195 .It CW_NO_EXEC
 196 f this variable is set in the environment, write the usual output to
 197 standard error but do not actually invoke any compiler.
 198 This is useful for debugging the translation engine.
 199 .El
 200 .Sh EXIT STATUS
 201 The following exit status values are returned:
 202 .Bl -tag -width indent
 203 .It 0
 204 The primary compiler, and shadow compilers if invoked, all completed
 205 successfully.
 206 .It >0
 207 A usage error occurred, or one or more compilers returned a nonzero
 208 exit status.

 214 .Sh BUGS
 215 The translations provided for gcc are not always exact and in some cases
 216 reflect local policy rather than actual equivalence.
 217 .Pp
 218 Additional compiler types should be supported.
 219 .Pp
 220 The translation engine is hacky.
