# Syntax
# compile(source, filename, mode, flag, dont_inherit, optimize)

# Parameter Values

# flags	                            Optional. How to compile the source. Default 0
# dont-inherit	                    Optional. How to compile the source. Default False
# optimize	                        Optional. Defines the optimization level of the compiler. Default -1
