SSL(1)

NAME
ssl - syntax/semantic language preprocessor, for parser description/generation

SYNOPSIS
ssl [ -TLs ] [ -E Name ] [ -D type ] [ -h file.sst.h ] [ -t file.sst.c ] [ -l file.lst ] [ -e file.entry ] [ -i file.ssl ]

DESCRIPTION
Ssl reads the input S/SL file, and produces C code. It accepts the following options:

-T  Trace S/SL processor execution

-L  Produce a listing of the S/SL source program with table coordinates in the left margin.

-s  Summarize usage of symbol and output tables.

-D Type
    Sets type of the S/SL table to Type. The default is int.

-E EnumName
    Sets name of the enumerated type list to EnumName, which will have nilEnumName as the first item in the enumeration (with a value of -1). The default is no name.

-i file.ssl
    Input S/SL program file. The default is stdin.

-h file.sst.h
    Output C header file with the constant definitions for the program. The default is
    `basename inputfile.ssl`.sst.h.

-t file.sst.c
    Output C S/SL program table file. The default is
    `basename inputfile.ssl`.sst.c.

-l file.lst
    Output listing of the S/SL program with table coordinates in the left margin, if requested with the -L option. The default is
    `basename inputfile.ssl`.lst.

-e file.entry
    Entry points file. The default is
    `basename inputfile.ssl`.entry.
