Name

traian - compilation of LNT specifications

Synopsis

traian [-analysis] [-c] [-depend] [-lotos] [-noindent] [-silent] [-verbose] [-version] filename[.lnt]

Description

traian is a compiler for LNT. Taking as input filename.lnt, which is an LNT program, traian translates it to C programs and/or a finite state automaton. This allows to execute, simulate, and/or verify LNT programs. For the moment, only the syntactic and semantic analyses and the translation in C of the data part (LNT types and functions) is available.

Options

-analysis
Perform lexical, syntactic, and semantic checks and stop before undertaking code generation. Not a default option.

-c
Instruct traian to generate C code. Opposite of -lotos. Default option.

-depend
Display the list of dependencies of filename.lnt and stop. Not a default option.

-lotos
Instruct traian to generate LOTOS code (not yet implemented). Opposite of -c. Not a default option.

-noindent
Do not format the generated C file filename.c using indent(1). This can be useful when indent(1) does not exist on the host machine, or when it crashes with core dumps. Not a default option.

-silent
Execute silenty. Opposite of -verbose. Not a default option.

-verbose
Animate the user's screen, telling what is going on. Opposite of -silent. Default option.

-version
Display the current version number of the software and stop. Not a default option.

Output

If the specification is correct, traian produces a file filename.c that contains the C code generated for the specification.

Diagnostics

When the source is erroneous, error messages are issued. The errors are listed in the filename.err file.

Exit Status

Exit status is 0 if everything is alright, 1 otherwise.

Operands

filename.lnt
LNT specification (input)

filename.t
external C implementation for types (input)

filename.f
external C implementation for functions (input)

filename.c
generated C code (output)

filename.err
detailed error messages (output)
