This method is the main entry point into the REPL. Its effects are not observable outside of the CLI, for this reason, most helper methods are protected final to facilitate testing.

Try to run REPL if there is nothing that prevents us doing so.

Possible reason for unsuccessful run are raised flags in CLI like --help or --version

Inherited methods
Entry point to the compiler using a custom Context.
Entry point to the compiler using a custom Context.
In most cases, you do not need a custom Context and should instead use one of the other overloads of process. However, the other overloads cannot be overridden, instead you should override this one which they call internally.
Usage example: https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/tree/master/compiler/test/dotty/tools/dotc/EntryPointsTest.scala.disabled in method runCompilerWithContext
Value parameters
- args
-
Arguments to pass to the compiler.
- rootCtx
-
The root Context to use.

Entry point to the compiler with no optional arguments.
Entry point to the compiler with no optional arguments.
This overload is provided for compatibility reasons: the RawCompiler of sbt expects this method to exist and calls it using reflection. Keeping it means that we can change the other overloads without worrying about breaking compatibility with sbt.

Principal entry point to the compiler.
Principal entry point to the compiler.
Usage example: https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/tree/master/compiler/test/dotty/tools/dotc/EntryPointsTest.scala.disabled in method runCompiler
Value parameters
- args
-
Arguments to pass to the compiler.
- callback
-
Used to execute custom code during the compilation process. No callbacks will be executed if this is
null. - reporter
-
Used to log errors, warnings, and info messages. The default reporter is used if this is
null.

Entry point to the compiler that can be conveniently used with Java reflection.
Entry point to the compiler that can be conveniently used with Java reflection.
This entry point can easily be used without depending on the dotty package, you only need to depend on dotty-interfaces and call this method using reflection. This allows you to write code that will work against multiple versions of dotty without recompilation.
The trade-off is that you can only pass a SimpleReporter to this method and not a normal Reporter which is more powerful.
Usage example: https://github.com/lampepfl/dotty/tree/master/compiler/test/dotty/tools/dotc/InterfaceEntryPointTest.scala
Value parameters
- args
-
Arguments to pass to the compiler.
- callback
-
Used to execute custom code during the compilation process. No callbacks will be executed if this is
null. - simple
-
Used to log errors, warnings, and info messages. The default reporter is used if this is
null.

Setup context with initialized settings from CLI arguments, then check if there are any settings that would change the default behaviour of the compiler.

Attributes
- Returns
-
If there is no setting like
-helppreventing us from continuing compilation, this method returns a list of files to compile and an updated Context. If compilation should be interrupted, this method returns None. - Inherited from:
