Hello, I posted this question once, nobody answered, this is a second try. I believe there should be a solution because the problem seems rather common.
See, I have a DSL compiler implemented in Racket as a #lang, syntax-parse etc. Like most compilers, it can emit somewhat diifferent code from the same input program depending on user's needs. I am looking for a way to specify those needs to the compiler. Specifically, I have a backend for C code generation and another backend for generating Racket syntax objects. I have an option to emit numerical code with 64-bit or 80-bit floating point numbers. DrRacket has some GUI engine for compiler parameters (debugging, populate "compiled" directories etc), but I do not know how to use them in raco make, let alone bring my own options to DrRacket or raco make. With C, everyone is happy with macros and built-in options, e. g. gcc -O3 -DREAL=double -DDATABASE=POSTGRES prog.c The best idea for Rackey I have so far is to use good old environment varibles, e. g. REAL=double BACKEND=Racket raco make myprog.mylang But it has its obvious drawbacks. What do I do instead?
