Ok, so you just want the merged C source as output? No compilation or linking? > I'm interfacing with Cilly through Python. This is the command that I > am constructing: > > "cilly --merge --extrafiles=tmp foo.c -o foo.out" > > where "tmp" is the file that contains the names of the files to be > merged with "foo.c". Currently, it links the file that is produced as > a result of the merge. Adding the "-c" flag (and removing "-o > foo.out") prevents Cilly from linking, but for some reason, Cilly > stops and only produces the *.i file, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm > doing wrong. Well, the problem is that the "-c" flag is interpreted by the cilly script which mimics gcc behavior and "compiles" the input file. Compiling means here that the input file is preprocessed and the resulting code is written to an *.o file. The actual merger (i.e. the CIL executable) is never invoked! In order to merge files using cilly, you must tell it to "link" them. I think the only way to prevent cilly from invoking gcc for actual compilation and linking is to use the environment variables: CILLY_DONT_COMPILE_AFTER_MERGE which prevents invoking gcc for compilation and linking or CILLY_DONT_LINK_AFTER_MERGE which prevents invoking gcc for linking. I'd construct a shell command that looks like this: "CILLY_DONT_COMPILE_AFTER_MERGE=1 cilly --merge --extrafiles=tmp --merged_out=foo_merged.c foo.c" It merges all files and puts the result in the file "foo_merged.c" without invoking gcc for compilation or linking. This works perfectly if used in a shell like bash. Not sure if this kind of command invocation also works with python. There is also another way to get your files merged! You can use the CIL executable directly rather than going through the cilly Pearl script. This solution, however, may be less comfortable since you must do all preprocessing and file handling yourself. You can use a command like this: "cilly.asm.exe --mergedout foo_merged.c --extrafiles tmp.txt foo.i" It merges all files into foo_merged.c using the CIL executable. Note the different command line option syntax and that all input files must be already preprocessed. Hope this helps. Cheers!
