2.4 Compiler options
Here we describe some of the frequently used options. A complete list of options is given by the command options all.
source_paths -- the set of directories where the source files are searched. With current implementation, once Vortex finds a file in some directory, it will always look for that file in that same directory during subsequent incremental recompilations.
gen_dir -- the gen directory for the application, absolute or relative to the directory where Vortex is run
debug_support -- determines availability of source-level debugging support in the compiled program. A program compiled without debugging support runs faster, but does not provide the features described in Section 3.
show_directory_in_prompt -- determines how many directory levels are displayed as part of the compiler prompt. This option allows one to distinguish more easily between Vortex processes compiling different programs.
loud_compile -- controls display of individual methods being compiled
show_phases -- controls display of individual optimization passes (with optimization-specific characters) performed for each method being compiled.
