From 18315c1675d965e5d0210a560e4742c483fcfd7f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tuncer Ayaz Date: Tue, 3 Dec 2013 18:43:30 +0100 Subject: Officially support building assembler files erlc is wired to treat *.S files as assembler and build them as compile:file(File, [from_asm]), but this is not documented. There's also a documented compile:file/2 option called 'asm' (mapping to 'from_asm'), but the wording discourages its use. All of this has been in place and in use for a long time. Therefore, it should be supported officially. To fix that, make the following changes: * document erlc handling of *.core files * un-document 'asm' and document 'from_asm' instead * deprecate 'asm' While at it, fix a minor typo in the test suite. --- lib/compiler/doc/src/compile.xml | 5 ++--- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'lib/compiler/doc') diff --git a/lib/compiler/doc/src/compile.xml b/lib/compiler/doc/src/compile.xml index 73d75851cf..eb7745890e 100644 --- a/lib/compiler/doc/src/compile.xml +++ b/lib/compiler/doc/src/compile.xml @@ -350,12 +350,11 @@ module.beam: module.erl \ parsed code before the code is checked for errors.

- asm + from_asm

The input file is expected to be assembler code (default file suffix ".S"). Note that the format of assembler files - is not documented, and may change between releases - this - option is primarily for internal debugging use.

+ is not documented, and may change between releases.
