2.2 General Flags

For lack of better organization, many general purpose flags are folded into the -f option. Unless otherwise noted, all -f options have a no- prefixed counterpart, so -f no-disassemble is the intuitive negation of -f disassemble. Later options always override earlier options.

— User Option: -f check-structure

Run additional internal graph (nodes and edges) consistency checks. Enabled by default.

— User Option: -f default

Resets to default flags. Has no negation.

— User Option: -f dump-graph-alloc

Diagnostic tool. Produce a textual dump of expression allocation after the internal whole-program graph has been constructed.

— User Option: -f dump-dot-struct

Produce a textual netlist of the whole-program event graph in dot format 1. A list of options that tune this output can be found in Graph Generation.

— User Option: -f run

Actually run the simulator's interpreter. Enabled by default. ‘-f no-run’ is explicitly needed when all that is desired are diagnostic dumps.

— User Option: -f ack-loaded-fns

Print names of functions as they are loaded from dlopened modules. Default on. Mostly useful for diagnostics.
