Starts a task for parallel compilation.

@spec compile([Path.t()], compile_opts()) ::
  {:ok, [atom()], [warning()] | info()}
  | {:error, [error()] | [Code.diagnostic(:error)], [warning()] | info()}

Compiles the given files.

Those files are compiled in parallel and can automatically detect dependencies between them. Once a dependency is found, the current file stops being compiled until the dependency is resolved.

It must be invoked with return_diagnostics: true as option, so it returns {:ok, modules, warnings_info} or {:error, errors, warnings_info}, where warnings_info has the shape:

%{
  runtime_warnings: [warning],
  compile_warnings: [warning]
}

Options

• :after_compile - invoked after all modules are compiled, but before they are verified. If the files are being written to disk, such as in compile_to_path/3, this will be invoked after the files are written

• :each_file - for each file compiled, invokes the callback passing the file

• :each_long_compilation - for each file that takes more than a given timeout (see the :long_compilation_threshold option) to compile, invoke this callback passing the file as its argument (and optionally the PID of the process compiling the file)

• :each_long_verification (since v1.19.0) - for each file that takes more than a given timeout (see the :long_verification_threshold option) to compile, invoke this callback passing the module as its argument (and optionally the PID of the process verifying the module)

• :each_module - for each module compiled, invokes the callback passing the file, module and the module bytecode

• :each_cycle - after the given files are compiled, invokes this function that should return the following values:

  • {:compile, modules, warnings} - to continue compilation with a list of further modules to compile
  • {:runtime, modules, warnings} - to stop compilation and verify the list of modules because dependent modules have changed

• :long_compilation_threshold - the timeout (in seconds) to check for files taking too long to compile. For each file that exceeds the threshold, the :each_long_compilation callback is invoked. Defaults to 10 seconds.

• :long_verification_threshold (since v1.19.0) - the timeout (in seconds) to check for modules taking too long to compile. For each module that exceeds the threshold, the :each_long_verification callback is invoked. Defaults to 10 seconds.

• :verification (since v1.19.0) - if code verification, such as unused functions, deprecation warnings, and type checking should run. Defaults to true. We recommend disabling it only for debugging purposes.

• :profile - if set to :time measure the compilation time of each compilation cycle and group pass checker

• :dest - the destination directory for the BEAM files. When using compile/2, this information is only used to properly annotate the BEAM files before they are loaded into memory. If you want a file to actually be written to dest, use compile_to_path/3 instead.

• :beam_timestamp - the modification timestamp to give all BEAM files

• :return_diagnostics (since v1.15.0) - returns maps with information instead of a list of warnings and returns diagnostics as maps instead of tuples. This option must be set to true, except for backwards compatibibility reasons.

• :max_concurrency - the maximum number of files to compile in parallel. Setting this option to 1 will compile files sequentially. Defaults to the number of schedulers online, or at least 2.

@spec compile_to_path([Path.t()], Path.t(), compile_opts()) ::
  {:ok, [atom()], [warning()] | info()}
  | {:error, [error()] | [Code.diagnostic(:error)], [warning()] | info()}

Compiles the given files and writes resulting BEAM files into path.

See compile/2 for more information.

Perform parallel compilation of collection with fun.

If you have a file that needs to compile other modules in parallel, the spawned processes need to be aware of the compiler environment. This function allows a developer to perform such tasks.

@spec require([Path.t()], require_opts()) ::
  {:ok, [atom()], [warning()] | info()}
  | {:error, [error()] | [Code.diagnostic(:error)], [warning()] | info()}

Requires the given files in parallel.

Opposite to compile, dependencies are not attempted to be automatically solved between files.

It must be invoked with return_diagnostics: true as option, so it returns {:ok, modules, warnings_info} or {:error, errors, warnings_info}, where warnings_info has the shape:

%{
  runtime_warnings: [warning],
  compile_warnings: [warning]
}

Options

• :each_file - for each file compiled, invokes the callback passing the file

• :each_module - for each module compiled, invokes the callback passing the file, module and the module bytecode

• :max_concurrency - the maximum number of files to compile in parallel. Setting this option to 1 will compile files sequentially. Defaults to the number of schedulers online, or at least 2.

• :return_diagnostics (since v1.15.0) - returns maps with information instead of a list of warnings and returns diagnostics as maps instead of tuples. This option must be set to true, except for backwards compatibibility reasons.
