Advanced commands:
//compileToC, cc compile project with C code generator
//compileToCpp, cpp compile project to C++ code
//compileToOC, objc compile project to Objective C code
//js compile project to Javascript
//e run a Nimscript file
//rst2html convert a reStructuredText file to HTML
//rst2tex convert a reStructuredText file to TeX
//jsondoc extract the documentation to a json file
//ctags create a tags file
//buildIndex build an index for the whole documentation
//run run the project (with Tiny C backend; buggy!)
//genDepend generate a DOT file containing the
module dependency graph
//dump dump all defined conditionals and search paths
//check checks the project for syntax and semantic
Advanced options:
-o:FILE, --out:FILE set the output filename
--stdout output to stdout
--colors:on|off turn compiler messages coloring on|off
--listFullPaths list full paths in messages
-w:on|off|list, --warnings:on|off|list
turn all warnings on|off or list all available
--warning[X]:on|off turn specific warning X on|off
--hints:on|off|list turn all hints on|off or list all available
--hint[X]:on|off turn specific hint X on|off
--styleCheck:off|hint|error
produce hints or errors for Nim identifiers that
do not adhere to Nim's official style guide
https://nim-lang.org/docs/nep1.html
--lib:PATH set the system library path
--import:PATH add an automatically imported module
--include:PATH add an automatically included module
--nimcache:PATH set the path used for generated files
--header:FILE the compiler should produce a .h file (FILE
is optional)
-c, --compileOnly compile Nim files only; do not assemble or link
--noLinking compile Nim and generated files but do not link
--noMain do not generate a main procedure
--genScript generate a compile script (in the 'nimcache'
subdirectory named 'compile_$$project$$scriptext'),
implies --compileOnly
--genDeps generate a '.deps' file containing the dependencies
--os:SYMBOL set the target operating system (cross-compilation)
--cpu:SYMBOL set the target processor (cross-compilation)
--debuginfo enables debug information
-t, --passC:OPTION pass an option to the C compiler
-l, --passL:OPTION pass an option to the linker
--cincludes:DIR modify the C compiler header search path
--clibdir:DIR modify the linker library search path
--clib:LIBNAME link an additional C library
(you should omit platform-specific extensions)
--genMapping generate a mapping file containing
(Nim, mangled) identifier pairs
--project document the whole project (doc2)
--docSeeSrcUrl:url activate 'see source' for doc and doc2 commands
(see doc.item.seesrc in config/nimdoc.cfg)
--lineDir:on|off generation of #line directive on|off
--embedsrc embeds the original source code as comments
in the generated output
--threadanalysis:on|off turn thread analysis on|off
--tlsEmulation:on|off turn thread local storage emulation on|off
--taintMode:on|off turn taint mode on|off
--implicitStatic:on|off turn implicit compile time evaluation on|off
--patterns:on|off turn pattern matching on|off
--memTracker:on|off turn memory tracker on|off
--hotCodeReloading:on|off
turn support for hot code reloading on|off
--excessiveStackTrace:on|off
stack traces use full file paths
--oldNewlines:on|off turn on|off the old behaviour of "\n"
--laxStrings:on|off when turned on, accessing the zero terminator in
strings is allowed; only for backwards compatibility
--nilseqs:on|off allow 'nil' for strings/seqs for
backwards compatibility
--skipCfg do not read the general configuration file
--skipUserCfg do not read the user's configuration file
--skipParentCfg do not read the parent dirs' configuration files
--skipProjCfg do not read the project's configuration file
--gc:refc|v2|markAndSweep|boehm|go|none|regions
select the GC to use; default is 'refc'
--index:on|off turn index file generation on|off
--putenv:key=value set an environment variable
--NimblePath:PATH add a path for Nimble support
--noNimblePath deactivate the Nimble path
--noCppExceptions use default exception handling with C++ backend
--cppCompileToNamespace:namespace
use the provided namespace for the generated C++ code,
if no namespace is provided "Nim" will be used
--excludePath:PATH exclude a path from the list of search paths
--dynlibOverride:SYMBOL marks SYMBOL so that dynlib:SYMBOL
has no effect and can be statically linked instead;
symbol matching is fuzzy so
that --dynlibOverride:lua matches
dynlib: "liblua.so.3"
--dynlibOverrideAll makes the dynlib pragma have no effect
--listCmd list the commands used to execute external programs
--parallelBuild:0|1|... perform a parallel build
value = number of processors (0 for auto-detect)
--verbosity:0|1|2|3 set Nim's verbosity level (1 is default)
--experimental:$1
enable experimental language feature
-v, --version show detailed version information
