NAME
       slice2cpp - The Slice to C++ compiler.


SYNOPSIS
       slice2cpp [options] [files]


DESCRIPTION
       slice2cpp compiles Slice files to C++. The macro __SLICE2CPP__ is
       defined during this compilation.

       mappings/c++11-mapping/slice2cpp-command-line-options


OPTIONS
       -h, --help
              Displays help message.


       -v, --version
              Displays the compiler version.


       -DNAME
              Defines the preprocessor symbol NAME.


       -DNAME=DEF
              Defines the preprocessor symbol NAME with the value DEF.


       -UNAME
              Undefines the preprocessor symbol NAME.


       -IDIR
              Add the directory DIR to the search path for #include
              directives.


       -E
              Print the preprocessor output on stdout.


       --output-dir DIR
              Place the generated files into directory DIR.


       -d, --debug
              Print debug information showing the operation of the Slice
              parser.


       --depend
              Print dependency information to standard output by default, or
              to the file specified by the --depend-file option. No code is
              generated when this option is specified.


       --depend-xml
              Print dependency information in XML format to standard output by
              default, or to the file specified by the --depend-file option.
              No code is generated when this option is specified.


       --depend-file FILE
              Directs dependency information to the specified file. The output
              format depends on whether --depend or --depend-xml is also
              specified.


       --validate
              Checks the provided command-line options for correctness, and
              does not generate any code.


       --header-ext EXT
              Changes the file extension for the generated header files from
              the default h to EXT.


       --source-ext EXT
              Changes the file extension for the generated source files from
              the default cpp to EXT.


       --add-header HDR[,GUARD]
              This option adds an include directive for the specified header
              at the beginning of the generated source file (preceding any
              other include directives). If GUARD is specified, the include
              directive is protected by the specified guard.


       --include-dir DIR
              Modifies #include directives in source files to prepend the path
              name of each header file with the directory DIR.


       --impl-c++11
              Generate sample implementation files for the C++11 mapping. This
              option will not overwrite an existing file.


       --impl-c++98
              Generate sample implementation files for the C++98 mapping. This
              option will not overwrite an existing file.


       --checksum
              Generate checksums for Slice definitions.
