Header Files ​

Linking Header Files ​

The use declarations of Jule are used to include C++ headers in the Jule code to be generated. It's just a little different. A use declaration should be told that this is a C++ include and the path should be given as a string.

For example:

cpp use "<stdlib.h>"

cpp use "<iostream>"

cpp use "header.hpp"

The correctness and validity of the file path is checked by the compiler. Valid header extensions; .h, .hh, .hpp, .hxx

Linking Header Implementations ​

You may not write your header files to include all the code (with implementation of declarations). Typical usage is in the form of a header file and a separate source code file for implementation of declarations. For this reason, you can also link your implementation C++ source code files just like header files.

For example:

cpp use "myfile.cpp"

cpp use "implementation.cxx"

The correctness and validity of the file path is checked by the compiler. Valid source file extensions; .cpp, .cc, .cxx, .c, .mm

Important Notes ​

Header files are handled with absolute path at backend. Some compiler backends may not support include paths which is contains unicode characters. Jule will not handle that. So, your backend compiler may will not compile your IR.
