Generate C++ and compile with different compiler options

[York]

Hi all,

I would like to generate C++ code from a sample program written in Haxe, and then I would apply different compiler optimizations options such as -O1 -O2 -O3, etc.  when compiling the the generated CPP sources  to binaries. 

Is it please possible? 

Thank you in advance

The optimize flags are a bit tricky because they can be set per-file and they can be different on different targets.

The easiest way to start would be to just change the "toolchain" files in hxcpp.

These contain lines like:

<flag value="-O2" tag="release" />

You can just change the "O2" and see if you get the desired result.

If you want to take it a bit further, you could do:

 <flag value="${MY_OPTIM_FLAG}" tag="release" /> 

and then set MY_OPTIM_FLAG via something like "haxe -main .... -D MY_OPTIM_FLAG=-O1"

This should get you started.
