Plug-in generation

At several locations within the TRAX package it is possible to use external "plug-ins". These are user-supplied C-functions with a defined parameter list, compiled and linked in a special way (For specialists: the functions are prepared to be called as if they were part of a dynamic shared library). In order to facilitate the compile and link step a shell script is provided:
trxfct [-l<lib>] [-L<ldir>] [-I<idir>] [-e<entrypoint>] <src>
where <src> is the C source file name (without extension), <lib> is an optional user library name, <ldir> is an optional user library directory, <idir> is an optional user include directory. <entrypoint> is the name of the entrypoint, it is this name with which the plug-in can be called at run time. If omitted the name of the source file is assumed. The actual name must be chosen as required by the application

Examples

  1. trxfct trxevalusr
    
    compiles and links the source file trxevalusr.c and assigns it the entry point evalusr.
  2. trxfct -etrxevalusr myfct
    
    compiles and links the source file myfct.c and assigns it the entry point etrxevalusr.
