Compiler Command Line Options
= --help
Displays the list of command line options with short descriptions.
= -t, --target=TARGET
This sets the mode of operation for hphp. TARGET is one of lint,
analyze, php, cpp, filecache, and run
(default).
lint: only parses the input files.
analyze: runs the analysis phases of hphp but does not generate output files.
php: runs analysis on the input files and generates php source files as output.
cpp: runs analysis on the input files, generates c++ source files as output and optionally builds the program. See format options for cpp.
run: is the same as cpp but also builds and executes the program.
filecache: only builds the static file cache.
= -f, --format=FORMAT
The possible values of FORMAT depends on the chosen target.
If the target is lint or analyze, the format option is unused.
If the target is php, FORMAT is a comma separated list of the following:
pickled: This outputs php code in a canonicalized format and stripped of comments.
trimmed: This is the same as pickled, but also does not output functions that are never used.
inlined: The same as pickled but generates a single file where all includes are inlined.
typeinfo: The same as pickled, but also runs type inference on the php code and outputs the inferred types in comments.
If the target is cpp, FORMAT is one of the following:
cluster: (default) The generated C++ code is divided up among a fixed number of files. The number is set by the cluster-count option.
file: There is one C++ source file generated for each input PHP file. The paths to generated C++ files mirror the paths to the PHP files.
sys: This is used to generate the C++ used for the system library.
exe: This is the same as cluster but also compiles the generated C++ into an executable.
lib: The same as cluster but compiles the generated C++ into a libraray.
If the target is run, FORMAT can be either cluster or file. These behave
the same as the corresponding formats for cpp. However, with run the generated
sources are always compiled into executables and run.
= --cluster-count=COUNT
COUNT is an integer and determines the number of output C++ files to generate
when using the cluster format for cpp or run targets.
= --input-dir=PATH
PATH is the path to the root directory of the PHP sources.
= --program=NAME
When using the exe format or run target, NAME will be the name of the compiled
executable.
= --args=ARGUMENTS
When using the run target, the executable will be run with arguments ARGUMENTS.
= -i, --inputs=FILE
FILE is added to the list of input PHP files.
= --input-list=FILE
FILE is the path to a file with a list of PHP sources to add to the input
list. The format is one path per line.
= --module=DIR
DIR is a path to a directory. All PHP sources in that directory, including
subdirectories, are added to the input list.
= --exclude-dir=DIR
DIR is the path to a directory. All PHP sources in that directory, including
subdirectories, are excluded from the input list with the exception of
forced inputs.
= --fmodule=DIR
--fmodule is the same as --module, except it will override any --exclude-dir
commands that would affect inclusion of the PHP files.
= --ffile=FILE
FILE is included, overriding exclusion commands.
= --exclude-file=FILE
FILE is excluded from the input list, except where overridden by --ffile.
= --cfile=FILE
FILE is included in the file cache. It is not affected by exclusion commands.
= --cmodule=DIR
All static resources in DIR, including subdirectories, are added to the file
cache. It is not affected by exclusion commands.
= --parse-on-demand=BOOL (default: true)
If BOOL is true, then include statements in PHP sources will add files to
the input list as they are encountered when the filename is statically
knowable.
= --branch=STRING
This specifies the SVN branch for logging purposes.
= --revision=NUMBER
This specifies the SVN revision for logging purposes.
= -o, --output-dir=DIR
The compiler will place the generated sources in DIR. If this parameter is
not specified, the compiler will use a new directory in /tmp.
= --sync-dir=DIR
If this parameter is set, the compiler will first output to DIR, and then
only copy over files that have changed to the output directory. This is to
preserve their timestamps so that a make will not recompile unchanged files.
= --optimize-level=INT (default: 1)
This sets the severity of optimizations performed on the PHP code before
being translated into C++. Currently, there are two levels of optimization.
0 performs no optimizations, and 1 performs some optimizations.
= --gen-stats=BOOL (default: false)
If BOOL is true, then detected errors in the code and code statistics will
be output to CodeError.js and Stats.js respectively in the output directory.
= --keep-tempdir=BOOL (default: false)
If no output directory is specified, the compiler will place generated sources
into a directory in /tmp. If BOOL is true, then this directory will not be
deleted after the program is compiled and, optionally, run.
= --static-method-autofix=BOOL (default: true)
If a method is found to be called statically but not declared static and BOOL
is true, then it will be treated as a static method.
= --db-stats=STRING
If this parameter is given, and --gen-stats also set, the dependency graph
and code errors will be stored in the database specified by STRING.
The format is :@:/.
= --no-type-inference=BOOL (default: false)
If BOOL is true, then no type inference will be performed before outputting
the translated sources.
= --no-min-include=BOOL (default: false)
If BOOL is true, then minimum include analysis will not be performed for an
analyze target.
= --no-meta-info=BOOL (default: false)
If BOOL is true, then generated C++ code will not include a class map, jump
tables, or use macros. This is intended to produce readable but non-functional
code.
= --config=FILE
This reads in a configuration file to set options. FILE should be in HDF
format.
= --db-config=STRING
This reads configuration from a database. STRING is of the format
:@:/.
= --config-dir=DIR (default: --input-dir)
This sets the root directory for configuration purposes to be DIR. All
relative paths passed as options will be treated as relative from this
directory.
= -v, --config-value=STRING
This sets a configuration option on the command line. STRING should be
a line of HDF, e.g. Section.Name=Value. The options settable are the same
as those set by --config or --db-config.
= -l, --log=INT (default: -1)
This sets the level of logging output to standard out. The Levels are:
-1: If the target is run, then none, else the same as 3.
0: No logging
1: Only errors
2: The same as 1 plus warnings.
3: The same as 2 plus extra information.
4: All log messages.
= --force=BOOL (default: true)
Forces the compiler to generate output even if there are code errors
encountered.
= --filecache=FILE
If this argument is given, a static file cache will be created with path FILE.
