About profile files

Specify compile definitions in profile files to use when compiling the jerry-core target.

The default profile is es5.1 which disables the ArrayBuffer built-in.

Using profiles with the build system

You can specify the profile for the build system in the following ways:

  • with absolute path
  • with a name (this options selects profiles/$(name).profile file)

Restrictions

Only single line options are allowed in the profile file. Any line starting with hash-mark is ignored. Semicolon character is not allowed.

Example usage:

1. Using the build script

# assuming you are in jerryscript folder
./tools/build.py --profile=/absolute/path/to/my_profile.any_extension

or

# assuming you are in jerryscript folder
./tools/build.py --profile=minimal

This command selects the profile/minimal.profile file.

2. Using only CMake build system

Set FEATURE_PROFILE option to one of the following values:

  • the profile with absolute path
  • name of the profile (which needs to exist in the profiles folder)
