New Features of Eli Version 4.4

Eli-generated code as a component

When you request an executable program from Eli, it is normally supplied with a main program. If you want to use the generated code as a part of a larger system, then the main program should not be supplied. Generation of the main program is controlled by the +nomain parameter. This parameter is not new in Eli 4.4.0, but its documentation has been improved (see nomain -- Omitting the main program of Products and Parameters Reference).

In some cases, the larger system containing the Eli-generated component has facilities for analyzing input, and the tree described by the LIDO specification is built directly by invoking Mk functions (see Computed Subtrees of LIDO - Reference Manual). That means it is necessary to specify that Eli should generate no parser by giving the parameter +parser=none (see parser -- Choose the parser generator of Products and Parameters Reference).
