Basic Examples  (2)

Create a new compiler environment:

Wolfram Language code: env = CreateCompilerEnvironment[]

Add a function declaration:

Wolfram Language code: CompilerEnvironmentAppendTo[env, {FunctionDeclaration[AddTwo, Typed[{"Integer64"} -> "Integer64"]@Function[arg, 2 + arg]]}];

Use the compiler environment in a compilation:

Wolfram Language code: cf = FunctionCompile[Function[{Typed[arg, "Integer64"]}, AddTwo[arg]], CompilerEnvironment -> env]
Wolfram Language code: cf[2]

Create an environment for a specific platform:

Wolfram Language code: env = CreateCompilerEnvironment[TargetSystem -> "Windows-x86-64"]

Target systems of the new environment:

Wolfram Language code: env[TargetSystem]

Options  (1)

TargetSystem  (1)

The default value of Inherited generates an environment for the current platform:

Wolfram Language code: CreateCompilerEnvironment[]

You can choose a target system for a specific platform:

Wolfram Language code: CreateCompilerEnvironment[TargetSystem -> "Linux-x86-64"]

You can choose several platforms:

Wolfram Language code: env = CreateCompilerEnvironment[TargetSystem -> {"MacOSX-x86-64", "MacOSX-ARM64"}]

You can see the target systems supported by an environment:

Wolfram Language code: env[TargetSystem]

The setting Automatic creates a number of core platforms:

Wolfram Language code: env = CreateCompilerEnvironment[TargetSystem -> Automatic]

You can use this in FunctionCompile:

Wolfram Language code: comp = FunctionCompile[Function[{Typed[arg, "Integer64"]}, arg + 1], TargetSystem -> Automatic, CompilerEnvironment -> env]

The CompiledCodeFunction object contains code for all of the platforms:

Wolfram Language code: Information[comp, "LLVMBinary"]

This is a useful way to carry out cross-compilations because the environments do not need to be created for each compilation.
