This +mechanism imposes a severe performance penalty and it's recommended +that you not use it. +.LP +.I -arrayperabi +results in a separate array for each string. This is +the default behavior if makestrs was compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR +(it almost never is). +.LP +.I -defaultabi +forces the generation of the "normal" string table even +if makestrs was compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR. Since makestrs is almost +never compiled with -DARRAYPERSTR this is the default behavior if +no abioptions are specified. +.LP +.I -i includedir +forces the reading of templates from the includedir instead of the local +directory. This is useful to have separate source and build directories. +.SH SYNTAX +The syntax for string-list file is (items in square brackets are optional): +.RS 4 +\&#prefix <text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&#feature <text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&#externref <text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&#externdef [<text>] +.RE +.RS 4 +[#ctempl <text>] +.RE +.LP +.RS 4 +\&#file <filename> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&#table <tablename> +.RE +.RS 4 +[#htempl] +.RE +.RS 4 +<text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&... +.RE +.RS 4 +<text> +.RE +.RS 4 +[#table <tablename> +.RE +.RS 4 +<text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\&... +.RE +.RS 4 +<text> +.RE +.RS 4 +\& ... +.RE +.RS 4 +\&#table <tablename> +.RE +.RS 4 +\& ...] +.RE +.RS 4 +[#file <filename> +.RE +.RS 4 +\& ...] +.RE +.LP +In words you may have one or more #file directives. Each #file may have +one or more #table directives. +.LP +The #prefix directive determines the string that makestr will prefix +to each definition. +.LP +The #feature directive determines the string that makestr will use +for the feature-test macro, e.g. X[TM]STRINGDEFINES. +.LP +The #externref directive determines the string that makestr will use +for the extern clause, typically this will be "extern" but Motif wants +it to be "externalref" +.LP +The #externdef directive determines the string that makestr will use +for the declaration, typically this will be the null string (note that +makestrs requires a trailing space in this case, i.e. "#externdef "), +and Motif will use "externaldef(_xmstrings). +.LP +The #ctmpl directive determines the name of the file used as a template +for the C source file that is generated +.LP +Each #file <filename> directive will result in a corresponding header +file by that name containing the appropriate definitions as specified +by command line options. A single C source file containing the +declarations for the definitions in all the headers will be printed +to stdout. +.LP +The #htmpl directive determines the name of the file used as a template +for the C header file that is generated. +.LP +Each #table <tablename> directive will be processed in accordance with +the ABI. On most platforms all tables will be catenated into a single +table with the name of the first table for that file. To conform to +the Intel ABI separate tables will be generated with the names indicated. +.LP +The template files specified by the #ctmpl and #htmpl directives +are processed by copying line for line from the template file to +the appropriate output file. The line containing the string +.I <<<STRING_TABLE_GOES_HERE>>> +is not copied to the output file. The appropriate data is then +copied to the output file and then the remainder of the template +file is copied to the output file. +.SH BUGS +makestrs is not very forgiving of syntax errors. Sometimes you need +a trailing space after # directives, other times they will mess you +up. No warning messages are emitted. +.SH SEE ALSO +SPARC Compliance Definition 2.2., SPARC International Inc., +535 Middlefield Road, Suite 210, Menlo Park, CA 94025 +.LP +System V Application Binary Interface, Third Edition, +ISBN 0-13-100439-5 +UNIX Press, PTR Prentice Hall, 113 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, +NJ 07632 +.LP +System V Application Binary Interface, Third Edition, Intel386 +Architecture Processor Supplement +ISBN 0-13-104670-5 +UNIX Press, PTR Prentice Hall, 113 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, +NJ 07632 +.LP +System V Application Binary Interface, Third Edition, SPARC +Architecture Processor Supplement +ISBN 0-13-104696-9 +UNIX Press, PTR Prentice Hall, 113 Sylvan Avenue, Englewood Cliffs, +NJ 07632 |
