genccode - generate C or platform specific assembly code
from an ICU data file.
genccode [ -h, -?, --help ]
[ -a, --assembly name ]
[ -d, --destdir destination
] [ -n, --name name
] [ -e, --entrypoint name
] [ -f, --filename name
] [ filename ... ]
genccode reads each of the supplied filename and
writes out a C file containing a compilable definition of the data in the
data file. The C file name is made by taking the base name of the data
filename, replacing dots by underscores, and adding a .c file
extension.
If the -a option is used, platform specific assembly code
is generated instead of C code. Most C compilers will accept both C and
assembly files. Instead of writing a filename with a .c file
extension, a filename with a .s will be written instead.
If genccode is called with no filename it terminates
gracefully.
- -h, -?,
--help
- Print help about usage and exit.
- -a,
--assembly name
- Output assembly code instead of C code. Use -h to see the list of
available types of assembly to generate and to specify for this
option.
- -d,
--destdir destination
- Set the destination directory to destination. The default
destination directory is the current directory.
- -n,
--name name
- Set the data name to name instead of the default. This name is also
used as the base name of the output. The default name is made of the
icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version number corresponding
to the current version of the ICU release, and a single letter indicating
the endianness of the data (the letter b indicated big endian data,
and the letter l indicates little endian ones).
- -f,
--filename name
- Normally, an ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be turned into
mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o. However, if this parameter was set to
"somedata", the output files will be somedata.o and somedata.c,
respectively.
- -e,
--entrypoint name
- Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in a shared
library form) to name. The default entry point name is made of the
data (set by the -n, --name option) followed by an
underscore and the type of the data (set by the -t,
--type option).
