These options shall be put in a file decls.h by the user.
Most of the options are undefined by default. When you
define a boolean option, always define it with a value
of 1, since for checking the value, #if is used, not #ifdef.
Wrong:
#define Vector_MANY_CASTS
Right:
#define Vector_MANY_CASTS 1
You can force boolean values to 0 that are 1 by default by defining
them to 0:
0 - the weakest method: needs no additional data and is not really
good. Only use this when memory is short.
1 - allocates 1kB of randomised data and hashes the lower
8 bits of all data types. Sufficient for most purposes.
2 - like 1, but hashes up to 32 bits of each data type.
This is the default. You can try to check whether method 1
is faster. The hash function surely is, but due to weaker
distribution, the hash performance in general may decrease
in some rare cases (though it is expected that 1 is also a
good method).
3 - like 2, but allocates 4kB of random data to have four different
random tables for each byte in longer integer data types. Also,
the string hashing functions make use of all four tables. This is
the strongest, yet slowest method that also uses the most memory.
It is usually overkill to use this.
TYPE_INFO
erwin/defs.h
#define
Global_ERWIN_TYPE_INFO
0
Whether to include Erwin type info. See erwin/typeinfo.h for the
definitions.
CLASS_REFCOUNT
erwin/classdef.h
#define
Global_ERWIN_CLASS_REFCOUNT
1
Whether you want reference counting to be used by the macros
'abstract' and 'concrete'.
CLASS_REFCOUNT_FAKE
erwin/classdef.h
#define
Global_ERWIN_CLASS_REFCOUNT_FAKE
0
Whether you want reference counting interface despite the fact that
no refcounting in used. This may be good to keep an existing interface
intact instead of removing some functions and macros.
CLASS_ID
erwin/classdef.h
#define
Global_ERWIN_CLASS_ID
1
Whether you want unique class ids (via member function klass_id()).
CLASS_USE_CGEN
erwin/classdef.h
#define
Global_ERWIN_CLASS_USE_CGEN
1
Whether erwin-cgen is used to generate the member functions in this
file. Otherwise, inline versions are used. This slows down compilation,
but the resulting program usually executes faster.
Note that some features that erwin-cgen provides cannot be emulated with
inline functions. Notable the default result of the types of slots is not
available in macros, so the macros may fail while the erwin-cgen generated
stuff works and returns a default value (if desired).
