🦋 OKA(1) — pipeline Hazards Description Translator — User Manuals 🦋

💅 NAME 💅

oka is the pipeline Hazards Description Translator. That’s the whole vibe: it’s the tool that translates your pipeline-hazard description into code. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

oka [ -c++ -debug -enum -export -no-minimization -split number -pprefix
-v ] specification-file

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here’s the tea: OKA generates code for fast recognition of pipeline hazards of a processor, and that processor is described in the specification file. The specification file must have the suffix .oka. No cap.

The generated code comes as an interface file and an implementation file. They have the same names as one of specification file, with the corresponding suffixes .h and .c for C code, or .cpp for C++ code. ✨

Full documentation of OKA is in the OKA User’s manual. Go read that if you want the deep lore. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

The options which are known for OKA are:

• -c++ — OKA generates C++ code instead of C code (default).
• -debug — OKA creates code for output of debugging information during execution of the generated code.
• -enum — OKA generates instruction codes as enumeration constant. By default, OKA generates instructions code as macro definition.
• -export — OKA generates macros defining identifiers of instructions in the interface file (instead of in the implementation file).
• -no-minimization — OKA does not minimization of generated deterministic finite state automaton (DFA). Like, it skips the minimization step entirely.
• -split number — OKA makes automatic splitting automaton on given number automata in order to decrease sizes of generated tables. The option is taken into account only if constructions %unit are absent in the specification file. This option has not been implemented yet. 💀
• -pprefix — Generated code uses prefix instead of OKA for names of the generated objects.
• -time — OKA outputs detail time statistics of its work into stderr.
• -v — OKA creates description file which contains description of result automaton and statistics information. The file will have the same name as one of given specification file and suffix .output into standard stream.

🦋 FILES 🦋

• file.oka — OKA specification file
• file.c — generated C implementation file
• file.cpp — generated C++ implementation file
• file.h — generated interface file

There are no any temporary files used by OKA. Not a single one, bestie. 🧚

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

There are no environment variables which affect OKA behavior. Zero. None. The environment is not the main character here. 💅

⭐ DIAGNOSTICS ⭐

OKA diagnostics is self-explanatory. It tells you what’s up. 🔥
