33.1 Command-line options for stanc3
The stanc3 compiler has the following command-line syntax:
> stanc (options) <model_file>where <model_file> is a path to a Stan model
file ending in suffix .stan.
The stanc3 options are:
--help- Displays the complete list of stanc3 options, then exits.--version- Display stanc version number--info- Print information about the model, such as the type information for variables and the list of used distributions.--name=<model_name>- Specify the name of the class used for the implementation of the Stan model in the generated C++ code.--o=<file_name>- Specify the name of the file into which the generated C++ is written.--allow-undefined- Do not throw a parser error if there is a function in the Stan program that is declared but not defined in the functions block.--include_paths=<dir1,...dirN>- Takes a comma-separated list of directories that may contain a file in an#includedirective.--use-opencl- If set, will use additional Stan OpenCL features enabled in the Stan-to-C++ compiler.--auto-format- Pretty prints the program to the console. See more on auto formatting.--print-canonical- Similar to--auto-format, but program is also updated to remove deprecated features and canonicalize the program when possible.--print-cpp- If set, output the generated C++ Stan model class to stdout.--O- Allow the compiler to apply all optimizations to the Stan code. WARNING: This is currently an experimental feature!--warn-uninitialized- Emit warnings about uninitialized variables to stderr. Currently an experimental feature.--warn-pedantic- Emit warnings in Pedantic mode which warns of potential issues in the meaning of your program.
The compiler also provides a number of debug options which are
primarily of interest to stanc3 developers; use the --help
option to see the full set.
