From 7e7ee820df7647680d9aaf1ca991fe9718159097 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Guillaume Martres Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 23:53:35 +0100 Subject: Add a `dotty-interfaces` package We introduce a new entry point for the compiler in `dotty.tools.dotc.Driver`: ``` def process(args: Array[String], simple: interfaces.SimpleReporter, callback: interfaces.CompilerCallback): interfaces.ReporterResult ``` Except for `args` which is just an array, the argument types and return type of this method are Java interfaces defined in a new package called `dotty-interfaces` which has a stable ABI. This means that you can programmatically run a compiler with a custom reporter and callbacks without having to recompile it against every version of dotty: you only need to have `dotty-interfaces` present at compile-time and call the `process` method using Java reflection. See `test/test/InterfaceEntryPointTest.scala` for a concrete example. This design is based on discussions with the IntelliJ IDEA Scala plugin team. Thanks to Nikolay Tropin for the discussions and his PR proposal (see #1011). --- .../java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) create mode 100644 interfaces/src/main/java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java (limited to 'interfaces/src/main/java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java') diff --git a/interfaces/src/main/java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java b/interfaces/src/main/java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java new file mode 100644 index 000000000..e52537096 --- /dev/null +++ b/interfaces/src/main/java/dotty/tools/dotc/interfaces/SimpleReporter.java @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +package dotty.tools.dotc.interfaces; + +/** Report errors, warnings and info messages during the compilation process + * + * You should implement this interface if you want to handle the diagnostics + * returned by the compiler yourself. + * + * @see the method `process` of `dotty.tools.dotc.Driver` for more information. + */ +public interface SimpleReporter { + /** Report a diagnostic. */ + void report(Diagnostic diag); +} -- cgit v1.2.3
