- <h3>com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main</h3>
-
- <p>
- The normal main entry point is
- <a href="../../src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/main/Main.java" class=code>com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main</a>,
- with a public API entry point at
- <a href="../../src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/Main.java" class=code>com.sun.tools.javac.Main</a> which just calls down to <code>com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main</code>.
- </p>
-
- <p>The various parts of the compiler share common information by means of a
- <a href="../../src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/util/Context.java" class=code>Context</a>.
- Every invocation of the compiler must have its own Context.
-
- <p>
- <code>com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main</code> does command line processing to determine the list of files to be compiled, and any applicable options. There are four types of options:
- <ul>
- <li>standard public options, e.g. <code>-classpath</code>
- <li>extended public options, beginning -X, e.g. <code>-Xlint</code>
- <li>hidden options -- not public or documented, e.g. -fullversion
- <li>even more hidden options -- typically for debugging the compiler, beginning -XD, e.g. -XDrawDiagnostics
- </ul>
-
- If there are files to be compiled, <code>Main</code> invokes
- <a href="../../src/share/classes/com/sun/tools/javac/main/JavaCompiler.java" class=code>JavaCompiler</a> <i>(<a href="JavaCompiler.html">more...</a>)</i>
- After <code>JavaCompiler</code> completes, the list of class symbols that was returned is discarded.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Any and all exceptions are caught and handled, and a return code is
- determined. Finally, the compiler exits.
