✨ I8C — Infinity Note Compiler ✨

okay bestie 💖 welcome to the Infinity Note Compiler manual page, aka section 1 of the User Commands zone. Yes, I8C(1) — that's literally the whole title. Sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

i8c [OPTION]... [FILE]...

That's it. That's the whole vibe. Options and files, in whatever order your heart desires. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Infinity Note Compiler.

No like, that's genuinely the entire description in the original and honestly? iconic minimalism. It compiles Infinity Notes. That's the job. Periodt. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Gather round, this is the good part, the way that every single flag is here and I'm not skipping a single one. 🙈

  • --help — shows you this info. Your "help me bestie" button. 🫶
  • --version — spills the version tea. ⭐
  • -E — preprocess only; no compile, no assemble, no link. Just the preprocessing era, nothing more. ✨
  • -S — compile only; no assemble, no link. Halfway there, living on a prayer. 🌈
  • -c — compile AND assemble, but no link. It's giving "almost done but not quite." 💜
  • -fpreprocessed — do NOT preprocess. Skip that whole step, we're built different. 🧚
  • --wrap-asm — wraps the -S output up in C asm statements like a lil cozy blanket. 🎀
  • -o FILE — puts the output into FILE. Naming your baby, basically. 👑
IMPORTANT NOTE, no cap: I8C uses GCC both to preprocess its input (unless you invoked it with -fpreprocessed) and to assemble its output (unless you invoked it with -E or -S). And if GCC is used, all options not explicitly listed above will be passed to GCC unmodified. So like, GCC is the third wheel and it's fully involved. 💀

In general I8C operates like GCC, so if you're used to GCC then I8C should make sense. Try it! 🔥

In most cases the command you want is:

i8c -c file.i8

which reads and compiles file.i8 and writes the result to file.o. That's the one, bestie. That's the main character command. 👑✨
