NAME
kp6 - Frontend to the KindaPerl6 Perl 6 in Perl 6 compiler
SYNOPSIS
kp6 [OPTIONS] < source.p6 > out.pl
kp6 [OPTIONS] source.p6 > out.pl
PERL5LIB=$(kp6 -lib) perl out.pl
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
Print a usage message listing all available options
- -v, --version
-
Print the version number, then exit successfully.
- -r, --runtime
-
The runtime to use, defaults to mp6 but kp6 can also be selected. This option will go away when the compiler has been bootstraped to kp6.
- --lib
-
Print the library path for the current runtime, this is mostly a hack at the moment until we have a decent interface to also execute code directly with the current backend, not just emit it.
- --secure
-
Tell the emitter KindaPerl6::Visitor::Emit* emitter being used to disable any unsafe features (e.g.
system
). - --do
-
A comma seperated list of KindaPerl6::Visitors to use, some pre-made sequences (listed below) are also availible.
Example:
# process the ast by expanding 'token' into plain Perl; # then replace method calls with MO calls; # then emit Perl 5 code kp6 --do Token,MetaClass,EmitPerl5 < examples/token.pl | perltidy
- --ast
-
Dump the Abstract Syntax Tree of the program, see KindaPerl::Ast and KindaPerl::Visitor::Perl.
- --perl5
-
Emit Perl 5 code via KindaPerl::Visitor::EmitPerl5, this is not the same thing as the default Perl 5 sequence which has more visitors.
- --perl5rx
-
Use the KindaPerl6::Visitor::EmitPerl5Regex Perl 6 to Perl 5 regex emitter.
- --perl6
-
Emit Perl 6 via KindaPerl6::Visitor::EmitPerl6.
- --parrot
-
Emit PIR via KindaPerl6::Visitor::Parrot, currently broken.
- --lisp
-
Emit Common Lisp via KindaPerl6::Visitor::Lisp.
