Can't specify output file

[programmerlexi]

When using the -o option the passed file is ignored and the compiled program isn't beign saved at all.

You most likely don't have a main and so your code is being optimized away. I encounter this when using --no-stdlib --no-entry --static-lib. Try adding an @export("symbol_name_here") after a function declaration (before the implementation).

Can you give more information on what your setup is?

[programmerlexi]

This happens when using compile-only to compile c3 into an object file. I'm on linux.

Ok, this will happen, because just like C, compiling multiple files yields multiple object files. If you use --single-module=yes, then this will work, since it outputs a single file.

[programmerlexi]

1. Compiling multiple files in C does not yield multiple object files.
2. With --single-module=yes it still doesn't work.

[lerno]

1. It does if you compile them separately as one usually does.
2. If you do --single-module, don't you get a single .o file at least?

[programmerlexi]

I only get the compiled version of the standard library.

[lerno]

Hmm.. so wait, what are you trying to achieve here? Maybe I misunderstand. Are you just compiling the exe and it's not using the -o, or are we talking about the object files not matching the name? There are a lot of ways to do different things depending on what you're after.

[programmerlexi]

I'm trying to compile c3 code for linking with other object files. While giving the object file a specific name.

[lerno]

@truemaker The (final) .o file when using --single-module=yes is now using the -o name. Please try the lastest build.

Works good enough
