It first +translates MAD code into C, then uses the local C compiler to make +an executable binary. + +For details on the MAD language, see the MAD reference manual +which is shipped with the distribution and available at the project +website. + + + +OPTIONS +Options are as follows: + + + + + + +Suppress binary-code generation, leave C translations in place. + + + + + +Debug. Enables verbose progress nessages from parser and lexer. + + + + + +Specify name of output binary; required if there is more +than one sourcefile. + + + + + +Dump tuples from which code is generated. + + + + +When MAD is called as a filter, the generated C is written to +standard output as though -c had been used. + + +AUTHOR + +Eric S.
