B.1 Using the Oolong Assembler

Name

COM.sootNsmoke.oolong.Oolong

Assemble an Oolong source file.

Abbreviated name

 Oolong 

Synopsis

 java COM.sootNsmoke.oolong.Oolong [-g] [-n] [-d directory]     file1.j ... java Oolong [-g] [-n] [-d directory] file1.j ... 

Description

Oolong reads the file file1.j, which is expected to contain a number of class descriptions in the Oolong language, as described in section B.4. The compiled classes are placed in separate files. The name of the file is the name of the class (with any package name removed) with the extension .class.

For example, suppose file1.j contains this class declaration:

 .class foo/bar 

The resulting file will be called bar.class.

The main executable class is called COM.sootNsmoke.oolong.Oolong. The class Oolong, in the default package, is also provided, which has a main method that calls the main in COM.sootNsmoke.oolong.Oolong. This class is a convenience if you don't want to type the longer name when compiling.

Options

g	Use .line and .var directives to generate debugging information.

d directory	Place generated .class files into directory.
