Field Detail

• public static final CompilerConfiguration DEFAULT

  A convenience for getting a default configuration. Do not modify it! See CompilerConfiguration(Properties) for an example on how to make a suitable copy to modify. But if you're really starting from a default context, then you probably just want new CompilerConfiguration().

Constructor Detail

• public CompilerConfiguration()

  Sets the Flags to defaults.

• public CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration configuration)

  Copy constructor. Use this if you have a mostly correct configuration for your compilation but you want to make a some changes programatically. An important reason to prefer this approach is that your code will most likely be forward compatible with future changes to this configuration API.

  An example of this copy constructor at work:

      // In all likelihood there is already a configuration in your code's context
      // for you to copy, but for the sake of this example we'll use the global default.
      CompilerConfiguration myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT);
      myConfiguration.setDebug(true);
  

  Parameters:

  configuration - The configuration to copy.

• public CompilerConfiguration(Properties configuration)

  Sets the Flags to the specified configuration, with defaults for those not supplied. Note that those "defaults" here do not include checking the settings in System.getProperties in general, only file.encoding, groovy.target.directory and groovy.source.encoding are.

  If you want to set a few flags but keep Groovy's default configuration behavior then be sure to make your settings in a Properties that is backed by System.getProperties() (which is done using this constructor). That might be done like this:

   Properties myProperties = new Properties(System.getProperties());
   myProperties.setProperty("groovy.output.debug", "true");
   myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(myProperties);
   

  And you also have to contend with a possible SecurityException when getting the system properties (See System.getProperties). A safer approach would be to copy a default CompilerConfiguration and make your changes there using the setter:

   // In all likelihood there is already a configuration for you to copy,
   // but for the sake of this example we'll use the global default.
   CompilerConfiguration myConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration(CompilerConfiguration.DEFAULT);
   myConfiguration.setDebug(true);
   

  Another reason to use the copy constructor rather than this one is that you must call setOutput. Calling setOutput(null) is valid and will set up a PrintWriter to a bit bucket. The copy constructor will of course set the same one as the original.

  a list of global AST transformation fully qualified class names

• public Map<String, Object> getJointCompilationOptions()

  Gets the joint compilation options for this configuration.

  Gets the optimization options for this configuration.

  Returns:

  the options (always not null)

• public PrintWriter getOutput()

  Gets the currently configured output writer.

• public ParserPluginFactory getPluginFactory()

• public boolean getRecompileGroovySource()

• public static boolean isPostJDK5(String bytecodeVersion)

  Checks if the specified bytecode version string represents a JDK 1.5+ compatible bytecode version.

  Parameters:

  bytecodeVersion - the bytecode version string (1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 or 1.8)

  Turns debugging operation on or off.

• public void setDefaultScriptExtension(String defaultScriptExtension)

• public void setDisabledGlobalASTTransformations(Set<String> disabledGlobalASTTransformations)

  Disables global AST transformations. In order to avoid class loading side effects, it is not recommended to use MyASTTransformation.class.getName() by directly use the class name as a string. Disabled AST transformations only apply to automatically loaded global AST transformations, that is to say transformations defined in a META-INF/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation file. If you explicitly add a global AST transformation in your compilation process, for example using the ASTTransformationCustomizer or using a org.codehaus.groovy.control.CompilationUnit.PrimaryClassNodeOperation, then nothing will prevent the transformation from being loaded.

  disabledGlobalASTTransformations - a set of fully qualified class names of global AST transformations which should not be loaded.

• public void setJointCompilationOptions(Map<String, Object> options)

  Sets the joint compilation options for this configuration. Using null will disable joint compilation.

  Parameters:

  options - the options

• public void setMinimumRecompilationInterval(int time)

• public void setOptimizationOptions(Map<String, Boolean> options)

  Sets the optimization options for this configuration. No entry or a true for that entry means to enable that optimization, a false means the optimization is disabled. Valid keys are "all" and "int".

  throws:

  IllegalArgumentException if the options are null

  Parameters:

  options - the options.

• public void setOutput(PrintWriter output)

  Sets the output writer.

• public void setPluginFactory(ParserPluginFactory pluginFactory)

• public void setRecompileGroovySource(boolean recompile)
