Description
Both pl1 and alm compilers permit the user to compile a source file while it resides as a component of a source archive. The source input is identified using an archive pathname. For example:
pl1 bound_mbuild_.s.archive::mbuild.pl1 -ot -table -list
If other popular compilers also permitted this feature, it might help those writing tools to manage
compilations.
Noteable exceptions are the compilers: create_data_segment (cds); and reductions (rdc; and
pl1_macro (pmac).
These do support support compiling a source referenced via archive pathname; the source must be
extracted from the archive to be compiled.
