5.1.2.2.45 -v* Trap use of inactive variants
This command-line compiler option enables/disables variant checking.
Syntax: -v[+|-]
Default: Enabled
Notes: When variant checking is enabled the compiler generates code to check each time a field of a
variant, is accessed, to make sure that the variant is active.
5.1.2.2.46 -W Control warning messages
This command-line compiler option enables/disables warning messages.
Syntax: -W[nn][+|-]
Default: All warning messages enabled.
Use -W or -W+ to enable all warning messages.
Use -W- to disable all warning messages.
Use -Wnn or -Wnn+ to enable warning message number nn.
Use -Wnn- to disable warning message number nn.
5.2.1 Using the interpreter
The Irie Virtual Machine Interpreter is used to run Irie Virtual Machine executables.
The interpreter should be run from a command-line prompt.
Once you are at a command-line prompt use the following syntax:
Syntax: ivm [filename] [arguments]
where filename specifies the Irie Virtual Machine Executable to run.
and [arguments] are program arguments passed to the executable.
NOTE: [x] indicates that x is optional.
For example if you compile the sample program hello.pas, the compiler will generate a file called
hello.ivm which contains an Irie Virtual Machine Executable.
You can run it by entering ivm hello or ivm hello.ivm.
NOTE: If you do not specify a path for the executable (as in the example above) the interpreter will first
look in the current directory and if not found the interpreter will search the path.
