TXLC(1)                                                   TXLC(1)



NAME
       txlc - TXL Programming Language Compiler (Version 10.3)

SYNOPSIS
       txlc [ txloptions ] txlfile

DESCRIPTION
       The  `txlc'  command  provides  a convenient interface for
       compiling a TXL program to a standalone  executable  which
       can be distributed and executed independently of TXL.  The
       single command argument `program.Txl' is the  TXL  program
       to be compiled.  The TXL program file must be named ending
       in the suffix  `.Txl'andmustbeeitherinthecurrentworkingdi-
       rectory,  in  the ./Txl subdirectory of the current direc-
       tory,   or   in   the   system    TXL    library    (e.g.,
       /usr/local/lib/txl).

       txlc uses the TXL interpreter (see txl(1) ) to compile the
       program to a TXL virtual machine byte code file, and  then
       runs  the  TXL  byte code converter to produce a C program
       that is compiled and linked with the TXL  virtual  machine
       to  produce  the output file filename.x, a standalone exe-
       cutable program.

       All TXL information and error messages  from  the  compile
       are sent to the terminal via the standard error stream.

OPTIONS
       Command  line options of the txlc command are identical to
       those for txl(1).

FILES
       filename.Txl             input TXL program to be compiled (txlfile)
       filename.CTxl            intermediate TXL virtual machine byte code
       filename_TXL.c           intermediate C code
       filename.x               output executable program
       /usr/local/lib/txl       system TXL program library

       Bugs should be reported using the support page on the  TXL

AUTHORS
       Version  10.3  of TXL was designed and implemented by J.R.
       Cordy at Queen's University, Legasys Corp. and  TXL  Soft-
       ware Research Inc.  between 1994 and 2003.

       TXL  was  originally  designed  by  J.R.  Cordy  and  C.D.
       Halpern-Hamu at the University of Toronto in 1985, and was
       originally  implemented  by J.R. Cordy, E.M. Promislow and
       I.H. Carmichael at Queen's  University  between  1986  and
       1988.  Version 7 was completely redesigned and implemented
       by J.R. Cordy and A. Malton at Queen's University in 1992.
