plcc-make

Build a PLCC project from a spec file. Runs the full pipeline — spec parsing, LL(1) analysis, code model generation, language emit, and language build — stopping at the stage specified by --through.

Called internally by plcc-scan, plcc-parse, plcc-rep, and plcc-diagram. You can also call it directly to pre-build before running other commands.

Usage

plcc-make [-v ...] [options]

Arguments and Options

Option	Description
-s PATH, --spec=PATH	Spec file to build from. Remembered across invocations in the same directory. Defaults to spec.plcc on first use.
--through=LEVEL	Build up to this level: scan, parse, model, or all. Default: all.
-b, --banner	Print the plcc-ng version and spec path to stderr.
-h, --help	Show usage and exit.
-v	Increase verbosity (repeat for more: -v, -vv, -vvv).
--verbose-format=FMT	Verbosity output format: text (default) or json.

Examples

# Build everything
plcc-make -s subtract.plcc

# Rebuild after editing the spec (spec remembered from previous run)
plcc-make

# Build only through the scan stage
plcc-make --through=scan

Build levels

--through value	Stages run
scan	plcc-spec
parse	plcc-spec, plcc-ll1
model	plcc-spec, plcc-model
all (default)	plcc-spec, plcc-ll1, plcc-model, plcc-lang-emit, plcc-lang-build

plcc-make caches its output in build/ and skips stages whose inputs haven't changed since the last successful run.
