970ed795 | 43 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
af710487 | 44 | This manual page is a quick reference for the TTCN-3 and ASN.1 to C++ (or JSON schema) |
970ed795 EL |
45 | compiler of the TTCN-3 Test Executor. It only summarizes the meaning of |
46 | all command line options. For more details please consult the | |
47 | .B Programmer's Technical Reference for TITAN TTCN-3 Test Executor. | |
48 | .SH OPTIONS | |
49 | The following options are supported (in alphabetical order): | |
50 | .TP 10 | |
51 | .BI \-A " file" | |
52 | Forces the interpretation of | |
53 | .I file | |
54 | as an | |
55 | .I ASN.1 module. | |
56 | It is useful when automatic module type detection fails | |
57 | due to some strange language constructs. The option takes exactly one file | |
58 | name as argument. The option must be repeated when used with multiple files. | |
59 | See also: option | |
60 | .B \-T. | |
61 | .TP | |
62 | .B \-a | |
63 | Force | |
64 | .I XER | |
65 | in ASN.1 files | |
66 | .TP | |
67 | .B \-b | |
68 | Disables the generation of | |
69 | .I BER | |
70 | encoder/decoder routines for all ASN.1 types. | |
71 | .TP | |
66d5fa86 BB |
72 | .B \-B |
73 | Allows the selected field in a union value to be unbound, when setting module | |
74 | parameters (legacy behavior). A warning is displayed whenever a union value | |
75 | receives an unbound selected field and when a union with an unbound selected field | |
76 | is copied. | |
77 | .TP | |
970ed795 EL |
78 | .B \-c |
79 | Write out | |
80 | .I checksums | |
81 | in case of error | |
82 | .TP | |
83 | .B \-d | |
84 | Treat ASN.1 | |
85 | .I SEQUENCE/SET | |
86 | fields with DEFAULT values as | |
87 | .I omit | |
88 | in TTCN-3. | |
89 | .TP | |
feade998 | 90 | .B \-E |
91 | Instructs the variant attribute parser to display warnings instead of errors | |
92 | for unrecognized/erroneous attributes. | |
93 | .TP | |
970ed795 EL |
94 | .B \-f |
95 | Forces the compiler to | |
96 | .I overwrite | |
97 | the output files even if they exist or are unchanged. | |
98 | .TP | |
99 | .B \-g | |
100 | The compiler error/warning messages will contain only the starting | |
101 | line number and column, in a format compatible with th GNU compiler (gcc). | |
102 | .B \-g | |
103 | takes precedence over | |
104 | .B \-i | |
105 | if both are specified. | |
106 | .TP | |
107 | .B \-i | |
108 | The compiler error/warning messages | |
109 | will contain only the | |
110 | .I line numbers, | |
111 | the column numbers will remain hidden. This option provides backward | |
112 | compatibility with the error message format of earlier versions. | |
113 | .TP | |
114 | .B \-j | |
115 | Disables JSON encoder/decoder functions. | |
116 | .TP | |
117 | .BI \-K " file" | |
118 | Enables selective code coverage. | |
119 | .TP | |
120 | .B \-l | |
121 | Instructs the compiler to generate source file and line information (i.e. | |
122 | .I #line | |
123 | directives) into the output C++ code so that the C++ compiler error | |
124 | messages refer back to the lines of original TTCN-3 input module. | |
125 | .br | |
126 | This option is | |
127 | .I obsolete | |
128 | and will be removed in future versions as the | |
129 | compiler does not generate erroneous C++ code because of the full | |
130 | semantic analysis. | |
131 | .TP | |
132 | .B \-L | |
133 | Instructs the compiler to add source file and line | |
134 | .I source file | |
135 | and | |
136 | .I line number | |
137 | information into the generated code to be included in the | |
138 | .I log | |
139 | during execution. | |
140 | .br | |
141 | This option is only a prerequisite for logging the source code information. | |
142 | Options | |
143 | .I SourceInfoFormat | |
144 | and | |
145 | .I LogEntityName | |
146 | have also to be set appropriately in section | |
147 | .I [LOGGING] | |
148 | of the run-time configuration file. | |
149 | .br | |
150 | Usage of this option a bit enlarges the size of the generated code and slightly | |
151 | reduces execution speed. This flag is not recommended when the TTCN-3 test | |
152 | suite is used for load generation. | |
153 | .TP | |
3abe9331 | 154 | .B \-M |
155 | Allows the use of the value | |
156 | .B omit | |
157 | in template lists and complemented template lists (legacy behavior). | |
158 | If set, an omitted field will match a template list, if the value | |
159 | .B omit | |
160 | appears in the list, and it will match a complemented template list, if | |
161 | .B omit | |
162 | is not in the list (the | |
163 | .B ifpresent | |
164 | attribute can still be used for matching omitted fields). This also affects the | |
165 | .B ispresent | |
166 | operation and the | |
167 | .B present | |
168 | template restriction accordingly. | |
169 | .TP | |
f08ff9ca BB |
170 | .B \-n |
171 | Activates the debugger and generates extra code for storing debug information. | |
172 | .TP | |
970ed795 EL |
173 | .BI \-o " dir" |
174 | The output files (including Test Port skeletons) will be placed into | |
175 | the directory specified by | |
176 | .I dir. | |
177 | The current working directory is the default otherwise. | |
178 | .TP | |
179 | .B \-p | |
180 | Instructs the compiler only to | |
181 | .I parse | |
182 | the given TTCN-3 and ASN.1 modules. This will detect only the syntax errors | |
183 | because semantic checkings are | |
184 | .I not | |
185 | performed. The presence of all imported modules is not necessary thus it is | |
186 | allowed (and recommended) to parse the modules one-by-one. | |
187 | .br | |
188 | All options that influence the code generation are silently ignored when used | |
189 | together with | |
190 | .B \-p. | |
191 | .br | |
192 | .B Note: | |
193 | This option includes complete syntax checks for TTCN-3 modules, but in ASN.1 | |
194 | there are some special constructs (e.g. the user-defined syntaxes) that cannot | |
195 | be even parsed without semantic analysis. So there is no guarantee that an ASN.1 | |
196 | module is free of syntax errors if it was analyzed with compiler using the | |
197 | .B -p | |
198 | flag. | |
199 | .TP | |
200 | .BI \-P " top_level_pdu" ... | |
201 | Defines a top-level pdu. | |
202 | .I top_level_pdu | |
203 | must have the following format: | |
204 | .I modulename.identifier. | |
205 | If this switch is used, then only the defined top-level PDU(s) and the | |
206 | referenced assignments are checked and included in code generation, the | |
207 | other ASN.1 assignments are skipped. | |
208 | .TP | |
209 | .B \-q | |
210 | .I Quiet | |
211 | mode. Equivalent with | |
212 | .B \-V 0. | |
213 | .TP | |
214 | .B \-Qn | |
215 | .I Quits | |
216 | after | |
217 | .B n | |
218 | errors. | |
219 | .TP | |
220 | .B \-r | |
221 | Disables the generation of | |
222 | .I RAW | |
223 | encoder/decoder routines for all TTCN-3 types. | |
224 | .TP | |
225 | .B \-R | |
226 | Use function test runtime (TITAN_RUNTIME_2). The compiler will generate source | |
227 | code for use with function test runtime. | |
228 | .TP | |
229 | .B \-s | |
230 | Instructs the compiler to parse the given TTCN-3 and ASN.1 modules and perform | |
231 | .I semantic analysis | |
232 | on them, but | |
233 | .I not | |
234 | to generate C++ output. The list of given modules shall be complete so it is | |
235 | not allowed to import from a module that is not in the list. All options that | |
236 | influence the code generation are silently ignored when used together with | |
237 | .B \-s. | |
238 | .TP | |
239 | .B \-S | |
240 | .I Suppresses | |
241 | context information. | |
242 | .TP | |
243 | .B \-t | |
244 | Generates | |
245 | .I Test Port | |
246 | skeleton header and source files for all port types that can be found in | |
247 | TTCN-3 modules. Existing Test Port files will not be overwritten unless the | |
248 | .B \-f | |
249 | option is used. | |
250 | .TP | |
251 | .BI \-T " file" | |
252 | Forces the interpretation of | |
253 | .I file | |
254 | as a | |
255 | .I TTCN-3 module. | |
256 | See also: option | |
257 | .B \-A. | |
258 | .TP | |
259 | .B \-u | |
260 | Forces the compiler to do | |
261 | .I duplicate underscore | |
262 | characters in all output file names. This option turns on the | |
263 | compatibility mode with versions 1.1 or earlier. | |
264 | .TP | |
14e21cff | 265 | .BI \-U " none|type|'number'" |
970ed795 | 266 | Selects code splitting mode for the generated C++ code. |
14e21cff | 267 | The 'number' should be a positive number between 1 and 999999. |
268 | If the 'number' is present the files will be sliced into 'number' files. | |
970ed795 EL |
269 | .TP |
270 | .B \-v | |
271 | Prints | |
272 | .I version | |
273 | and license key information and exits. | |
274 | .TP | |
275 | .BI \-V " verb_level" | |
276 | Sets the verbosity bit-mask directly to | |
277 | .I verb_level | |
278 | (where | |
279 | .I verb_level | |
280 | is a decimal value between 0 and 65535). | |

329 | .TP | |
a38c6d4c | 330 | .BI \-z " file" |
331 | Enables profiling and code coverage in the selected TTCN-3 files. The | |
332 | .I file | |
333 | argument contains a list of TTCN-3 files separated by new lines. Each TTCN-3 file must be among the compiler's TTCN-3 file arguments. | |
334 | .TP | |
970ed795 EL |
335 | .B \- |
336 | The single dash character as command line argument controls the | |
337 | .I selective code generation | |
338 | option. | |
339 | After the list of all TTCN-3 and ASN.1 modules a subset of these files can | |
340 | be given separated by a dash. This option instructs the compiler to parse all | |
341 | modules, perform the semantic analysis on the entire module hierarchy, but | |
342 | generate code | |
343 | .I only | |
344 | for those modules that are listed after the dash again. | |
345 | .br | |
346 | It is not allowed to specify a file name after the dash that was not present | |
347 | in the list before the dash. If the single dash is not present in the command | |
348 | line the compiler will generate code for | |
349 | .I all | |
350 | modules. | |
af710487 | 351 | .TP |
352 | .B \-\-ttcn2json | |
353 | Generates a JSON schema from the types defined in the specified TTCN-3 and ASN.1 modules. | |
354 | Must always be the first compiler option. From the previously listed options only | |
355 | .B \-T | |
356 | and | |
357 | .B \-A | |
358 | can be used, instead the JSON schema generator has options of its own: | |
359 | .TP | |
360 | .B \-j | |
361 | Only types that have JSON coding enabled are included in the schema. | |
362 | .TP | |
363 | .B \-f | |
364 | The schema only validates types that have a JSON encoding or decoding method declared. | |
365 | .TP | |
366 | .BI \- " file" | |
367 | The single dash character as command line argument specifies the name of the generated | |
368 | JSON schema file. If it is not present, then the schema file name is generated from | |
369 | the name of the first input file (by replacing its suffix with | |
370 | .I \.json | |
371 | or appending | |
372 | .I \.json | |
373 | to the end of the file). | |
970ed795 EL |
374 | .SH EXIT STATUS |
375 | The compiler exits with a status of zero when no errors were encountered | |
376 | during its operation. A status of one will be returned if syntax or | |
377 | semantic errors were detected in the input modules. | |
378 | .SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES | |
379 | .TP | |
380 | .SM | |
381 | TTCN3_DIR | |
382 | The installation directory where the uncompressed binary package of | |
383 | TTCN-3 Test Executor can be found. | |
384 | .TP | |
385 | .SM | |
386 | TTCN3_LICENSE_FILE | |
387 | It shall point to the | |
388 | .I file | |
389 | .RB ( NB: | |
390 | .I not | |
391 | to its directory) that contains the personalized license key for the | |
392 | current user or host. | |
393 | .SH BUGS | |
394 | The compiler does not support all constructs of TTCN-3 Core Language and ASN.1. | |
395 | It reports an error when encountering an unsupported language element. | |
396 | The detailed list of deficiencies and language extensions can be found in the | |
397 | referenced documentation. | |
