The –b option on the command-line turns on block-buffering with a block size
of 1,024. You cannot turn off buffering from the command-line.
If you give the –b option in a comment in the program, you can turn off
buffering or turn on block buffering. The valid values are:
Any number greater than 2 (for example, {$b5} ) is treated as {$b2} . You can
only use this option in the main program. The block buffering value in effect
at the end of the main program is used for the entire program.
-bsdmalloc
(Solaris 1.x only) The -bsdmalloc option specifies faster malloc and uses the
more efficient malloc from the library, libbsdmalloc.a . This option also
causes the flags, -u _malloc /lib/libbsdmalloc.a , to be passed to the
linker.
–C
The –C option enables runtime checks that verifies that:
• Subscripts and subranges are in range.
•
The number of lines written to output does not exceed the number set by
the
linelimit procedure. (See the Pascal 4.0 Reference Manual for
information on linelimit .)
• Overflow, underflow, and divide-by-zero do not exist.
• The assert statement is correct. (See the Pascal 4.0 Reference Manual for
information on assert .)
If you do not specify –C , most runtime checks are disabled, and pc treats the
assert statement as a comment and never uses calls to the linelimit
procedure to halt the program. However, divide-by-zero checks are always
made.
The –V0 and –V1 options implicitly turn on –C .
{$b0} No buffering
{$b1} Line buffering
{$b2} Block buffering. The block size is 1,024.
