rdmd

概要

In a command prompt:

> cat myprog.d

import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, world without explicit compilations!");
}

> rdmd myprog
Hello, world without explicit compilations!

Inside a D program:

> cat myprog.d

#!/usr/bin/env rdmd
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, world with automated script running!");
}

> ./myprog.d
Hello, world with automated script running!

解説

rdmd is a companion to the dmd compiler that simplifies the typical edit-compile-link-run or edit-make-run cycle to a rapid edit-run cycle. Like make and other tools, rdmd uses the relative dates of the files involved to minimize the amount of work necessary. Unlike make, rdmd tracks dependencies and freshness without requiring additional information from the user.

rdmd:

• shields its user from the notion that producing a running program from D programming language files may entail several concerted steps against different source files producing various intermediate files;
• automatically infers and builds dependent files, transitively, by following import directives;
• recognizes and passes down all of dmd's command-line options;
• understands how various dmd compiler options (e.g. -release vs. -debug) affect generation of intermediate files, and avoids conflations (e.g., does not unwittingly run a debug executable when the release executable is asked for);
• recompiles files only on a needed basis, e.g. two invocations of rdmd in sequence without an intervening change to any relevant source file does not produce the executable again.

使用法

rdmd [dmd and rdmd options] progfile[.d] [program arguments]

In addition to dmd's options, rdmd recognizes the following:

--build-only

just build the executable, don't run it. By default, the executable is placed into the source file directory

--chatty

write dmd commands to stdout before executing them

--compiler=/path/to/compiler

use the specified compiler (e.g. gdmd) instead of dmd

--dry-run

do not compile, just show what commands would be run (implies --chatty)

--eval=code

evaluate code including it in

void main(string[] args) { ... }

(multiple --eval allowed, will be evaluated in turn)

--exclude=package

exclude a package from the build (multiple --exclude allowed)

--include=package

negate --exclude or a standard package (std, etc, core)

--extra-file=file

include an extra source or object in the compilation (multiple --extra-file allowed)

--force

force a rebuild even if apparently not necessary

--help

show a help message and exit

--loop=code

like --eval, but code will be additionally included in a loop

foreach (line; stdin.byLine()) { ... }

--main

add an empty

void main() {}

(useful for running unittests)

--makedepend

print dependencies in makefile format and exit

--man

open web browser on manual page

--shebang

rdmd is in a shebang line (put as first argument). Example:

> cat myprog.d

#!/usr/bin/rdmd --shebang -version=test -O
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
    writeln("Hello, world with automated script running!");
}

--tmpdir

use a different temporary directory
