The ZPL compiler produces object C files along with a Makefile for compiling the resulting C code and linking them in with the machine-specific libraries. The machine-specific executable can be created by simply typing make in the proper directory. The current ZPL compiler, zpl, supports the following flags.
-a Enables efficient access to parallel arrays. Program executiontime will decrease while code size will increase.
-c Enables optimized communication insertion algorithm. Both execution
time and code size will decrease.
-h Displays this message.
-n Disables the C pre-processor. By default, the ZPL input file is passed
through cpp before it is passed to the ZPL compiler.
-v Displays version information and quits.
-V Displays verbose error messages.
-I<path> Adds the specified include path during object code compilation, where
object code refers to the C code produced by the ZPL compiler.
-L<path> Adds the specified library path during object code compilation.
-l<library> Links in the specified library during object code compilation.
User-written C files and object files (files using the Unix .o format) can be also be specified at the command line when compiling a ZPL program. These C files and object files are included in the automatically generated Makefile. See the on-line documentation for further details on using the compiler and compiling the object C files.
