SAC YAML Module

About

This is a SaC module that wraps around some of the LibYAML. With this we are able to emit YAML. Currently there is no support for parsing YAML.

Build Instructions

You'll need to have installed sac2c and have a copy of the Stdlib installed as well.

$ cd YAML
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j4
$ make install //you might need to use `sudo'

Examples

Examples of how to use the YAML module are found in the examples directory. The module usage matches closely to that of the LibYAML C-API in that we need to pass around the emitter object.

Variables that can be passed to CMake

When running CMake it is possible to pass the following variables:

• -DTARGETS=x;y;z --- build stdlib for targets x, y and z. (defaults are cuda)
• -DSAC2C_EXEC=/path/to/sac2c --- specify sac2c executable directly. Otherwise CMake will try to find sac2c on yout PATH.
• -DLINKSETSIZE=n --- set -linksetsize n when calling sac2c. This option is responsible for the number of C functions that are put in a single C file when compiling a SaC program. The rule of thumb:

  • value 0 is the fastest time-wise but potentially results in a large memory consumption

  • value 1 reduces the memory consumption to minimum, buy significantly increases compilation time.

    Default value: 500.
