generate_source

Name

generate_source() - generates the C code corresponding to (a) given object(s)

Synopsis

int generate_source( string file );
int generate_source( string *files );

Description

This efun is only available if LPC_TO_C is defined.

generate_source() calls the LPC->C compiler to generate the source code for a given object or objects. If more than one file is passed, a directory named 'mudlib' is created in the SAVE_BINARIES directory, and that directory can be copied into the driver source directory and compiled into the driver.

If one file is given, the C source for that file is compiled, and the driver attempts to link it into the running executable using the RUNTIME_LOADING option.
