-<h2><a NAME="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
-
-<p>Version 4.1 is the latest release of <a
-HREF="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/">lcc</a>, the ANSI C compiler described in
-our book <cite>A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation</cite>
-(Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1). This document summarizes the differences
-between the 4.1 code-generation interface and the 3.x interface described in Chap. 5 of <cite>A
-Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>
-
-<p>Previous versions of lcc supported only three sizes of integers, two sizes of floats,
-and insisted that pointers fit in unsigned integers (see Sec. 5.1 of <cite>A Retargetable
-C Compiler</cite>). These assumptions simplified the compiler, and were suitable for
-32-bit architectures. But on 64-bit architectures, such as the DEC ALPHA, it's natural to
-have four sizes of integers and perhaps three sizes of floats, and on 16-bit
-architectures, 32-bit pointers don't fit in unsigned integers. Also, the 3.x constaints
-limited the use of lcc's back ends for other languages, such as Java.</p>
-
-<p>Version 4.x removes all of these restrictions: It supports any number of sizes for
-integers and floats, and the size of pointers need not be related to the size of any of
-the integer types. The major changes in the code-generation interface are:
-
-<ul>
- <li>The number of type suffixes has been reduced to 6.</li>
- <li>Dag operators are composed of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size.</li>
- <li>Unsigned variants of several operators have been added.</li>
- <li>Several interface functions have new signatures.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>In addition, version 4.x is written in ANSI C and uses the standard I/O library and
-other standard C functions.</p>
-
-<p>The sections below parallel the subsections of Chap. 5 of <cite>A Retargetable C
-Compiler</cite> and summarize the differences between the 3.x and 4.x code-generation
-interface. Unaffected subsections are omitted. Page citations refer to pages in <cite>A
-Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="metrics">5.1 Type Metrics</a></h2>
-
-<p>There are now 10 metrics in an interface record:</p>
-
-<pre>Metrics charmetric;
-Metrics shortmetric;
-Metrics intmetric;
-Metrics longmetric;
-Metrics longlongmetric;
-Metrics floatmetric;
-Metrics doublemetric;
-Metrics longdoublemetric;
-Metrics ptrmetric;
-Metrics structmetric;</pre>
-
-<p>Each of these specifies the size and alignment of the corresponding type. <code>ptrmetric</code>
-describes all pointers.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="symbols">5.3 Symbols</a></h2>
-
-<p>The actual value of a constant is stored in the <code>u.c.v</code> field of a symbol,
-which holds a <code>Value</code>:</p>
-
-<pre>typedef union value {
- long i;
- unsigned long u;
- long double d;
- void *p;
- void (*g)(void);
-} Value;</pre>
-
-<p>The value is stored in the appropriate field according to its type, which is given by
-the symbol's <code>type</code> field.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="operators">5.5 Dag Operators</a></h2>
-
-<p>The <code>op</code> field a of <code>node</code> structure holds a dag operator, which
-consists of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size indicator. The type suffixes
-are:</p>
-
-<pre>enum {
- F=FLOAT,
- I=INT,
- U=UNSIGNED,
- P=POINTER,
- V=VOID,
- B=STRUCT
-};
-
-#define sizeop(n) ((n)&lt;&lt;10)</pre>
-
-<p>Given a generic operator <code>o</code>, a type suffix <code>t</code>, and a size <code>s</code>,
-a type- and size-specific operator is formed by <code>o+t+sizeop(s)</code>. For example, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(4)</code>
-forms the operator <code>ADDF4</code>, which denotes the sum of two 4-byte floats.
-Similarly, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(8)</code> forms <code>ADDF8</code>, which denotes 8-byte
-floating addition. In the 3.x code-generation interface, <code>ADDF</code> and <code>ADDD</code>
-denoted these operations. There was no size indicator in the 3.x operators because the
-type suffix supplied both a type and a size.</p>
-
-<p>Table 5.1 lists each generic operator, its valid type suffixes, and the number of <code>kids</code>
-and <code>syms</code> that it uses; multiple values for <code>kids</code> indicate
-type-specific variants. The notations in the <strong>syms</strong> column give the number
-of <code>syms</code> values and a one-letter code that suggests their uses: 1V indicates
-that <code>syms[0]</code> points to a symbol for a variable, 1C indicates that <code>syms[0]</code>
-is a constant, and 1L indicates that <code>syms[0]</code> is a label. For 1S, <code>syms[0]</code>
-is a constant whose value is a size in bytes; 2S adds <code>syms[1]</code>, which is a
-constant whose value is an alignment. For most operators, the type suffix and size
-indicator denote the type and size of operation to perform and the type and size of the
-result.</p>

-<p>The entries in the <strong>Sizes</strong> column indicate sizes of the operators that
-back ends must implement. Letters denote the size of float (f), double (d), long double
-(x), character (c), short integer (s), integer (i), long integer (l), &quot;long
-long&quot; integer (h) , and pointer (p). These sizes are separated into sets for each
-type suffix, except that a single set is used for both I and U when the set for I is
-identical to the set for U.</p>
-
-<p>The actual values for the size indicators, fdxcsilhp, depend on the target. A
-specification like <code>ADDF</code>f denotes the operator <code>ADD+F+sizeop(</code>f<code>)</code>,
-where &quot;f&quot; is replaced by a target-dependent value, e.g., <code>ADDF4</code> and <code>ADDF8</code>.
-For example, back ends must implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
-operators.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <p><code>CVIF</code>f <code>CVIF</code>d <code>CVIF</code>x<br>
- <code>CVII</code>c <code>CVII</code>s <code>CVII</code>i <code>CVII</code>l <code>CVII</code>h<br>
- <code>CVIU</code>c <code>CVIU</code>s <code>CVIU</code>i <code>CVIU</code>l <code>CVIU</code>h
- <code>CVIU</code>p<br>
- <br>
- <code>MULF</code>f <code>MULF</code>d <code>MULF</code>x<br>
- <code>MULI</code>i <code>MULI</code>l <code>MULI</code>h<br>
- <code>MULU</code>i <code>MULU</code>l <code>MULU</code>h</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>On most platforms, there are fewer than three sizes of floats and six sizes of
-integers, and pointers are usually the same size as one of the integers. And lcc doesn't
-support the &quot;long long&quot; type, so h is not currently used. So the set of
-platform-specific operators is usually smaller than the list above suggests. For example,
-the X86, SPARC, and MIPS back ends implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
-operators.</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <p><code>CVIF</code>4 <code>CVIF</code>8<br>
- <code>CVII</code>1 <code>CVII</code>2 <code>CVII</code>4<br>
- <code>CVIU</code>1 <code>CVIU</code>2 <code>CVIU</code>4 <br>
- <br>
- <code>MULF</code>4 <code>MULF</code>8<br>
- <code>MULI</code>4<br>
- <code>MULU</code>4</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>The set of operators is thus target-dependent; for example, <code>ADDI8</code> appears
-only if the target supports an 8-byte integer type. <a
-HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/packages/lcc/contrib/ops.c"><code>ops.c</code></a> is
-a program that, given a set of sizes, prints the required operators and their values,
-e.g.,</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% <em>ops c=1 s=2 i=4 l=4 h=4 f=4 d=8 x=8 p=4</em>
-...
- CVIF4=4225 CVIF8=8321
- CVII1=1157 CVII2=2181 CVII4=4229
- CVIU1=1158 CVIU2=2182 CVIU4=4230
-...
- MULF4=4561 MULF8=8657
- MULI4=4565
- MULU4=4566
-...
-131 operators</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>The type suffix for a conversion operator denotes the type of the result and the size
-indicator gives the size of the result. For example, <code>CVUI4</code> converts an
-unsigned (<code>U</code>) to a 4-byte signed integer (<code>I4</code>). The <code>syms[0]</code>
-field points to a symbol-table entry for a integer constant that gives the size of the
-source operand. For example, if <code>syms[0]</code> in a <code>CVUI4</code> points to a
-symbol-table entry for 2, the conversion widens a 2-byte unsigned integer to a 4-byte
-signed integer. Conversions that widen unsigned integers zero-extend; those that widen
-signed integers sign-extend.</p>
-
-<p>The front end composes conversions between types <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> and <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>
-by widening <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> to it's &quot;supertype&quot;, if necessary, converting
-that result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>'s supertype, then narrowing the result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>,
-if necessary. The following table lists the supertypes; omitted entries are their own
-supertypes.</p>
-

-</blockquote>
-
-<p>Pointers are converted to an unsigned type of the same size, even when that type is not
-one of the integer types.</p>
-
-<p>For example, the front end converts a signed short to a float by first converting it to
-an int and then to a float. It converts an unsigned short to an int with a single <code>CVUI</code>i
-conversion, when shorts are smaller than ints.</p>
-
-<p>There are now signed and unsigned variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>BCOM</code>,
-<code>BOR</code>, <code>BXOR</code>, <code>BAND</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
-and <code>RET</code> to simplify code generation on platforms that use different
-instructions or register set for signed and unsigned operations. Likewise there are now
-pointer variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
-and <code>RET</code>.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="flags">5.6 Interface Flags</a></h2>
-
-<pre>unsigned unsigned_char:1;</pre>
-
-<p>tells the front end whether plain characters are signed or unsigned. If it's zero, char
-is a signed type; otherwise, char is an unsigned type.</p>
-
-<p>All the interface flags can be set by command-line options, e.g., <code>-Wf-unsigned_char=1</code>
-causes plain characters to be unsigned.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="definitions">5.8 Definitions</a></h2>
-
-<p>The front end announces local variables by calling</p>
-
-<pre>void (*local)(Symbol);</pre>
-
-<p>It announces temporaries likewise; these have the symbol's <code>temporary</code> flag
-set, which indicates that the symbol will be used only in the next call to <code>gen</code>.
-If a temporary's <code>u.t.cse</code> field is nonnull, it points to the node that
-computes the value assigned to the temporary; see page 346.</p>
-
-<p>The front end calls</p>
-
-<pre>void (*address)(Symbol p, Symbol q, long n);</pre>
-
-<p>to initialize <code>q</code> to a symbol that represents an address of the form <em>x</em>+<code>n</code>,
-where <em>x</em> is the address represented by <code>p</code> and the long integer <code>n</code>
-is positive or negative.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="constants">5.9 Constants</a></h2>
-
-<p>The interface function</p>
-
-<pre>void (*defconst)(int suffix, int size, Value v);</pre>
-
-<p>initializes constants. defconst emits directives to define a cell and initialize it to
-a constant value. v is the constant value, suffix identifies the type of the value, and
-size is the size of the value in bytes. The value of suffix indicates which field of v
-holds the value, as shown in the following table.</p>

+<h2><a NAME="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
+
+<p>Version 4.1 is the latest release of <a
+HREF="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/">lcc</a>, the ANSI C compiler described in
+our book <cite>A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation</cite>
+(Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1). This document summarizes the differences
+between the 4.1 code-generation interface and the 3.x interface described in Chap. 5 of <cite>A
+Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>
+
+<p>Previous versions of lcc supported only three sizes of integers, two sizes of floats,
+and insisted that pointers fit in unsigned integers (see Sec. 5.1 of <cite>A Retargetable
+C Compiler</cite>). These assumptions simplified the compiler, and were suitable for
+32-bit architectures. But on 64-bit architectures, such as the DEC ALPHA, it's natural to
+have four sizes of integers and perhaps three sizes of floats, and on 16-bit
+architectures, 32-bit pointers don't fit in unsigned integers. Also, the 3.x constaints
+limited the use of lcc's back ends for other languages, such as Java.</p>
+
+<p>Version 4.x removes all of these restrictions: It supports any number of sizes for
+integers and floats, and the size of pointers need not be related to the size of any of
+the integer types. The major changes in the code-generation interface are:
+
+<ul>
+ <li>The number of type suffixes has been reduced to 6.</li>
+ <li>Dag operators are composed of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size.</li>
+ <li>Unsigned variants of several operators have been added.</li>
+ <li>Several interface functions have new signatures.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>In addition, version 4.x is written in ANSI C and uses the standard I/O library and
+other standard C functions.</p>
+
+<p>The sections below parallel the subsections of Chap. 5 of <cite>A Retargetable C
+Compiler</cite> and summarize the differences between the 3.x and 4.x code-generation
+interface. Unaffected subsections are omitted. Page citations refer to pages in <cite>A
+Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="metrics">5.1 Type Metrics</a></h2>
+
+<p>There are now 10 metrics in an interface record:</p>
+
+<pre>Metrics charmetric;
+Metrics shortmetric;
+Metrics intmetric;
+Metrics longmetric;
+Metrics longlongmetric;
+Metrics floatmetric;
+Metrics doublemetric;
+Metrics longdoublemetric;
+Metrics ptrmetric;
+Metrics structmetric;</pre>
+
+<p>Each of these specifies the size and alignment of the corresponding type. <code>ptrmetric</code>
+describes all pointers.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="symbols">5.3 Symbols</a></h2>
+
+<p>The actual value of a constant is stored in the <code>u.c.v</code> field of a symbol,
+which holds a <code>Value</code>:</p>
+
+<pre>typedef union value {
+ long i;
+ unsigned long u;
+ long double d;
+ void *p;
+ void (*g)(void);
+} Value;</pre>
+
+<p>The value is stored in the appropriate field according to its type, which is given by
+the symbol's <code>type</code> field.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="operators">5.5 Dag Operators</a></h2>
+
+<p>The <code>op</code> field a of <code>node</code> structure holds a dag operator, which
+consists of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size indicator. The type suffixes
+are:</p>
+
+<pre>enum {
+ F=FLOAT,
+ I=INT,
+ U=UNSIGNED,
+ P=POINTER,
+ V=VOID,
+ B=STRUCT
+};
+
+#define sizeop(n) ((n)&lt;&lt;10)</pre>
+
+<p>Given a generic operator <code>o</code>, a type suffix <code>t</code>, and a size <code>s</code>,
+a type- and size-specific operator is formed by <code>o+t+sizeop(s)</code>. For example, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(4)</code>
+forms the operator <code>ADDF4</code>, which denotes the sum of two 4-byte floats.
+Similarly, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(8)</code> forms <code>ADDF8</code>, which denotes 8-byte
+floating addition. In the 3.x code-generation interface, <code>ADDF</code> and <code>ADDD</code>
+denoted these operations. There was no size indicator in the 3.x operators because the
+type suffix supplied both a type and a size.</p>
+
+<p>Table 5.1 lists each generic operator, its valid type suffixes, and the number of <code>kids</code>
+and <code>syms</code> that it uses; multiple values for <code>kids</code> indicate
+type-specific variants. The notations in the <strong>syms</strong> column give the number
+of <code>syms</code> values and a one-letter code that suggests their uses: 1V indicates
+that <code>syms[0]</code> points to a symbol for a variable, 1C indicates that <code>syms[0]</code>
+is a constant, and 1L indicates that <code>syms[0]</code> is a label. For 1S, <code>syms[0]</code>
+is a constant whose value is a size in bytes; 2S adds <code>syms[1]</code>, which is a
+constant whose value is an alignment. For most operators, the type suffix and size
+indicator denote the type and size of operation to perform and the type and size of the
+result.</p>

+<p>The entries in the <strong>Sizes</strong> column indicate sizes of the operators that
+back ends must implement. Letters denote the size of float (f), double (d), long double
+(x), character (c), short integer (s), integer (i), long integer (l), &quot;long
+long&quot; integer (h) , and pointer (p). These sizes are separated into sets for each
+type suffix, except that a single set is used for both I and U when the set for I is
+identical to the set for U.</p>
+
+<p>The actual values for the size indicators, fdxcsilhp, depend on the target. A
+specification like <code>ADDF</code>f denotes the operator <code>ADD+F+sizeop(</code>f<code>)</code>,
+where &quot;f&quot; is replaced by a target-dependent value, e.g., <code>ADDF4</code> and <code>ADDF8</code>.
+For example, back ends must implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
+operators.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p><code>CVIF</code>f <code>CVIF</code>d <code>CVIF</code>x<br>
+ <code>CVII</code>c <code>CVII</code>s <code>CVII</code>i <code>CVII</code>l <code>CVII</code>h<br>
+ <code>CVIU</code>c <code>CVIU</code>s <code>CVIU</code>i <code>CVIU</code>l <code>CVIU</code>h
+ <code>CVIU</code>p<br>
+ <br>
+ <code>MULF</code>f <code>MULF</code>d <code>MULF</code>x<br>
+ <code>MULI</code>i <code>MULI</code>l <code>MULI</code>h<br>
+ <code>MULU</code>i <code>MULU</code>l <code>MULU</code>h</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>On most platforms, there are fewer than three sizes of floats and six sizes of
+integers, and pointers are usually the same size as one of the integers. And lcc doesn't
+support the &quot;long long&quot; type, so h is not currently used. So the set of
+platform-specific operators is usually smaller than the list above suggests. For example,
+the X86, SPARC, and MIPS back ends implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
+operators.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <p><code>CVIF</code>4 <code>CVIF</code>8<br>
+ <code>CVII</code>1 <code>CVII</code>2 <code>CVII</code>4<br>
+ <code>CVIU</code>1 <code>CVIU</code>2 <code>CVIU</code>4 <br>
+ <br>
+ <code>MULF</code>4 <code>MULF</code>8<br>
+ <code>MULI</code>4<br>
+ <code>MULU</code>4</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The set of operators is thus target-dependent; for example, <code>ADDI8</code> appears
+only if the target supports an 8-byte integer type. <a
+HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/packages/lcc/contrib/ops.c"><code>ops.c</code></a> is
+a program that, given a set of sizes, prints the required operators and their values,
+e.g.,</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% <em>ops c=1 s=2 i=4 l=4 h=4 f=4 d=8 x=8 p=4</em>
+...
+ CVIF4=4225 CVIF8=8321
+ CVII1=1157 CVII2=2181 CVII4=4229
+ CVIU1=1158 CVIU2=2182 CVIU4=4230
+...
+ MULF4=4561 MULF8=8657
+ MULI4=4565
+ MULU4=4566
+...
+131 operators</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The type suffix for a conversion operator denotes the type of the result and the size
+indicator gives the size of the result. For example, <code>CVUI4</code> converts an
+unsigned (<code>U</code>) to a 4-byte signed integer (<code>I4</code>). The <code>syms[0]</code>
+field points to a symbol-table entry for a integer constant that gives the size of the
+source operand. For example, if <code>syms[0]</code> in a <code>CVUI4</code> points to a
+symbol-table entry for 2, the conversion widens a 2-byte unsigned integer to a 4-byte
+signed integer. Conversions that widen unsigned integers zero-extend; those that widen
+signed integers sign-extend.</p>
+
+<p>The front end composes conversions between types <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> and <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>
+by widening <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> to it's &quot;supertype&quot;, if necessary, converting
+that result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>'s supertype, then narrowing the result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>,
+if necessary. The following table lists the supertypes; omitted entries are their own
+supertypes.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <table BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0">

+</blockquote>
+
+<p>Pointers are converted to an unsigned type of the same size, even when that type is not
+one of the integer types.</p>
+
+<p>For example, the front end converts a signed short to a float by first converting it to
+an int and then to a float. It converts an unsigned short to an int with a single <code>CVUI</code>i
+conversion, when shorts are smaller than ints.</p>
+
+<p>There are now signed and unsigned variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>BCOM</code>,
+<code>BOR</code>, <code>BXOR</code>, <code>BAND</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
+and <code>RET</code> to simplify code generation on platforms that use different
+instructions or register set for signed and unsigned operations. Likewise there are now
+pointer variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
+and <code>RET</code>.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="flags">5.6 Interface Flags</a></h2>
+
+<pre>unsigned unsigned_char:1;</pre>
+
+<p>tells the front end whether plain characters are signed or unsigned. If it's zero, char

+
+<p>All the interface flags can be set by command-line options, e.g., <code>-Wf-unsigned_char=1</code>

-<p><code>doc/install.html</code> is the HTML file for this document. <a HREF="4.html"><code>doc/4.html</code></a>
-describes the internal differences between lcc 3.x and 4.1.</p>
-
-<p>The installation makefile is designed so that lcc can be installed from a read-only
-file system or directory, which is common in networked environments, so the distribution
-can be unloaded on a central file server. <strong>You will need an existing ANSI/ISO C
-compiler to build and install lcc.</strong></p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="unix">Installation on UNIX</a></h2>
-
-<p>The compilation components (the preprocessor, include files, and compiler proper, etc.)
-are installed in a single <em>build directory</em>. On multi-platform systems supported by
-a central file server, it's common to store the build directory in a location specific to
-the platform and to the version of lcc, and to point a symbolic link to this location. For
-example,</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% ln -s /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris /usr/local/lib/lcc</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>points <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> to a build directory for lcc version 4.1 on the
-SPARC under Solaris. Links into <code>/usr/local/lib</code> are created for the programs <code>lcc</code>
-and <code>bprint</code>. Thus, a new distribution can be installed by building it in its
-own build directory and changing one symbolic link to point to that directory. If these
-conventions or their equivalents are followed, the host-specific parts of the driver
-program, <code>lcc</code>, can be used unmodified.</p>
-
-<p>Installation on a UNIX system involves the following steps. Below, the build directory
-is referred to as <code>BUILDDIR</code>.
-
-<ol>
- <li>Create the build directory, using a version- and platform-specific naming convention as
- suggested above, and record the name of this directory in the <code>BUILDDIR</code>
- environment variable:<blockquote>
- <pre>% setenv BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris
-% mkdir -p $BUILDDIR</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>Here and below, commands assume the C shell. Also, you'll need a version of <code>mkdir</code>
- that supports the <code>-p</code> option, which creates intermediate directories as
- necessary.</p>
- </li>
- <li>Copy the man pages to the repository for local man pages, e.g.,<blockquote>
- <pre>% cp doc/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>Some users copy the man pages to the build directory and create the appropriate
- symbolic links, e.g., </p>
- <blockquote>
- <pre>% cp doc/*.1 $BUILDDIR
-% ln -s $BUILDDIR/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1</pre>
- </blockquote>
- </li>
- <li>Platform-specific include files are in directories named <code>include/</code><em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>.
- Create the include directory in the build directory, and copy the include hierarchy for
- your platform to this directory, e.g.,<blockquote>
- <pre>% mkdir $BUILDDIR/include
-% cp -p -R include/sparc/solaris/* $BUILDDIR/include</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>Again, some users create a symbolic link to the appropriate directory in the
- distribution instead of copying the include files. For example, at Princeton, the
- distributions are stored under <code>/proj/pkg/lcc</code>, so the included files are
- &quot;installed&quot; by creating one symbolic link: </p>
- <blockquote>
- <pre>% ln -s /proj/pkg/lcc/4.1/include/sparc/solaris $BUILDDIR/include</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>If you're installing lcc on Linux, you <em>must</em> also plant a symbolic link named <code>gcc</code>
- to gcc's library directory, because lcc uses gcc's C preprocessor and most of gcc's header
- files:</p>
- <blockquote>
- <pre>% ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.2 $BUILDDIR/gcc</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>The library directory shown above may be different on your Linux machine; to determine
- the correct directory, browse <code>/usr/lib/gcc-lib</code>, or execute</p>
- <blockquote>
- <pre>% cc -v tst/8q.c</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>and examine the diagnostic output. Make sure that <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/cpp</code> and <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/include</code>
- point to, respectively, gcc's C preprocessor and header files. On Linux, lcc looks for
- include files in <code>$BUILDDIR/include</code>, <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/include</code>, and <code>/usr/include</code>,
- in that order; see <a HREF="#driver"><em>Building the Driver</em></a> and <a
- href="../etc/linux.c"><code>etc/linux.c</code></a> for details.</p>
- </li>
- <li>The <a HREF="../makefile"><code>makefile</code></a> includes the file named by the <code>CUSTOM</code>
- macro; the default is <code>custom.mk</code>, and an empty <code>custom.mk</code> is
- included in the distribution. If desired, prepare a site-specification customization file
- and define <code>CUSTOM</code> to the path of that file when invoking make in steps 5 and
- 6, e.g.,<blockquote>
- <pre>make CUSTOM=/users/drh/solaris.mk</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>You can, for example, use customization files to record site-specific values for macros
- instead of using environment variables, and to record targets for the steps in this list.</p>
- </li>
- <li>Build the host-specific driver, creating a custom host-specific part, if necessary. See <a
- HREF="#driver"><em>Building the Driver</em></a>.</li>
- <li>Build the preprocessor, compiler proper, library, and other accessories. See <a
- HREF="#rcc"><em>Building the Compiler</em></a>.</li>
- <li>Plant symbolic links to the build directory and to the installed programs, e.g.,<blockquote>
- <pre>% ln -s $BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc
-% ln -s /usr/local/lib/{lcc,bprint} /usr/local/bin</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>Some users copy <code>bprint</code> and <code>lcc</code> into <code>/usr/local/bin</code>
- instead of creating symbolic links. The advantange of creating the links for <code>lcc</code>
- and <code>bprint</code> as shown is that, once established, they point indirectly to
- whatever <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> points to; installing a new version of lcc, say,
- 4.2, can be done by changing <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> to point to the 4.2 build
- directory.</p>
- </li>
-</ol>
-
-<h2><a NAME="driver">Building the Driver</a></h2>
-
-<p>The preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader are invoked by a driver program, <code>lcc</code>,
-which is similar to <code>cc</code> on most systems. It's described in the man page <code>doc/lcc.1</code>.
-The driver is built by combining the host-independent part, <a href="../etc/lcc.c"><code>etc/lcc.c</code></a>,
-with a small host-specific part. Distributed host-specific parts are named <code>etc/</code><em>os</em><code>.c</code>,
-where <em>os</em> is the name of the operating system for the host on which <code>lcc</code>
-is being installed. If you're following the installations conventions described above, you
-can probably use one of the host-specific parts unmodified; otherwise, pick one that is
-closely related to your platform, copy it to <em>whatever</em><code>.c</code>, and edit it
-as described below. You should not have to edit <code>etc/lcc.c</code>.</p>
-
-<p>We'll use <a HREF="../etc/solaris.c"><code>etc/solaris.c</code></a> as an example in
-describing how the host-specific part works. This example illustrates all the important
-features. Make sure you have the environment variable <code>BUILDDIR</code> set correctly,
-and build the driver with a <code>make</code> command, e.g.,</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% make HOSTFILE=etc/solaris.c lcc
-cc -g -c -DTEMPDIR=\&quot;/tmp\&quot; -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc.o etc/lcc.c
-cc -g -c -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/host.o etc/solaris.c
-cc -g -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc.o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/host.o</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>The symbolic name <code>HOSTFILE</code> specifies the path to the host-specific part,
-either one in the distribution or <em>whatever</em><code>.c</code>. Some versions of make
-may require the <code>-e</code> option in order to read the environment.</p>

-<p><code>LCCDIR</code> defaults to <code>&quot;/usr/local/lib/lcc/&quot;</code> unless
-it's defined by a <code>-D</code> option as part of <code>CFLAGS</code> in the make
-command, e.g.,</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% make HOSTFILE=etc/solaris.c CFLAGS='-DLCCDIR=\&quot;/v/lib/lcc/\&quot;' lcc</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>Note the trailing slash; <code>SUNDIR</code> is provided so you can use <code>etc/solaris.c</code>
-even if you have a different version of the Sun Pro compiler suite. If you're using the
-gcc compiler tools instead of the Sun Pro tools, see <a HREF="../etc/gcc-solaris.c"><code>etc/gcc-solaris.c</code></a>.</p>
-
-<p>Most of the host-specific code is platform-specific data and templates for the commands
-that invoke the preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader. The <code>suffixes</code>
-array lists the file name suffixes for C source files, preprocessed source files, assembly
-language source files, object files, and executable files. <code>suffixes</code> must be
-terminated with a null pointer, as shown above. The initialization of <code>suffixes</code>
-in <code><a HREF="../etc/solaris.c">etc/solaris.c</a></code> are the typical ones for UNIX
-systems. Each element of <code>suffixes</code> is actually a list of suffixes, separated
-by semicolons; <code><a HREF="../etc/win32.c">etc/win32.c</a></code> holds an example:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>char *suffixes[] = { &quot;.c;.C&quot;, &quot;.i;.I&quot;, &quot;.asm;.ASM;.s;.S&quot;, &quot;.obj;.OBJ&quot;, &quot;.exe&quot;, 0 };</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>When a list is given, the first suffix is used whenever lcc needs to generate a file
-name. For example, with <code><a HREF="../etc/win32.c">etc/win32.c</a></code>, lcc emits
-the generated assembly code into <code>.asm</code> files.</p>
-
-<p>The <code>inputs</code> array holds a null-terminated string of directories separated
-by colons or semicolons. These are used as the default value of <code>LCCINPUTS</code>, if
-the environment variable <code>LCCINPUTS</code> is not set; see the <a HREF="lcc.pdf">man
-page</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Each command template is an array of pointers to strings terminated with a null
-pointer; the strings are full path names of commands, arguments, or argument placeholders,
-which are described below. Commands are executed in a child process, and templates can
-contain multiple commands by separating commands with newlines. The driver runs each
-command in a new process.</p>
-
-<p>The <code>cpp</code> array gives the command for running lcc's preprocessor, <code>cpp</code>.
-Literal arguments specified in templates, e.g., <code>&quot;-Dsparc&quot;</code> in the <code>cpp</code>
-command above, are passed to the command as given.</p>
-
-<p>The strings <code>&quot;$1&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;$2&quot;</code>, and <code>&quot;$3&quot;</code>
-in templates are placeholders for <em>lists</em> of arguments that are substituted in a
-copy of the template before the command is executed. <code>$1</code> is replaced by the <em>options</em>
-specified by the user; for the preprocessor, this list always contains at least <code>-D__LCC__</code>.
-<code>$2</code> is replaced by the <em>input</em> files, and <code>$3</code> is replaced
-by the <em>output</em> file.</p>
-
-<p>Zero-length arguments after replacement are removed from the argument list before the
-command is invoked. So, for example, if the preprocessor is invoked without an output
-file, <code>&quot;$3&quot;</code> becomes <code>&quot;&quot;</code>, which is removed from
-the final argument list.</p>
-
-<p>The <code>include</code> array is a list of <code>-I</code> options that specify which
-directives should be searched to satisfy include directives. These directories are
-searched in the order given. The first directory should be the one to which the ANSI
-header files were copied as described in <a HREF="#unix">UNIX</a> or <a HREF="#win32">Windows</a>
-installation instructions. The driver adds these options to <code>cpp</code>'s arguments
-when it invokes the preprocessor, except when <code>-N</code> is specified.</p>
-
-<p><code>com</code> gives the command for invoking the compiler. This template can appear
-as shown above in a custom host-specific part, but the option <code>-target=sparc/solaris</code>
-should be edited to the <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em> for your platform. If <code>com[1]</code>
-includes the string &quot;<code>win32</code>&quot;, the driver assumes it's running on
-Windows. lcc can generate code for <em>all</em> of the <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
-combinations listed in the file <code>src/bind.c</code>. The <code>-target</code> option
-specifies the default combination. The driver's <code>-Wf</code> option can be used to
-specify other combinations; the <a HREF="lcc.pdf">man page</a> elaborates.</p>
-
-<p><code>as</code> gives the command for invoking the assembler. On Linux, you must be
-running at least version 2.8.1 of the GNU assembler; earlier versions mis-assemble some
-instructions emitted by lcc.</p>
-
-<p><code>ld</code> gives the command for invoking the loader. For the other commands, the
-list <code>$2</code> contains a single file; for <code>ld</code>, <code>$2</code> contains
-all &quot;.o&quot; files and libraries, and <code>$3</code> is <code>a.out</code>, unless
-the <code>-o</code> option is specified. As suggested in the code above, <code>ld</code>
-must also specify the appropriate startup code and default libraries, including the lcc
-library, <code>liblcc.a</code>.</p>
-
-<p>The <code>option</code> function is described below; the minimal <code>option</code>
-function just returns 0.</p>
-
-<p>You can test <code>lcc</code> with the options <code>-v -v</code> to display the
-commands that would be executed, e.g.,</p>

-
-<p>As the output shows, <code>lcc</code> places temporary files in <code>/tmp</code>; if
-any of the environment variables <code>TMP</code>, <code>TEMP</code>, and <code>TMPDIR</code>
-are set, they override this default (in the order shown) as does the <code>-tempdir=</code><em>dir</em>
-option. The default can be changed by defining <code>TEMPDIR</code> in <code>CFLAGS</code>
-when building the driver.</p>
-
-<p>The <code>option</code> function is called for the options <code>-Wo</code>, <code>-g</code>,
-<code>-p</code>, <code>-pg</code>, and <code>-b</code> because these compiler options
-might also affect the loader's arguments. For these options, the driver calls <code>option(arg)</code>
-to give the host-specific code an opportunity to edit the <code>ld</code> command, if
-necessary. <code>option</code> can change <code>ld</code>, if necessary, and return 1 to
-announce its acceptance of the option. If the option is unsupported, <code>option</code>
-should return 0.</p>
-
-<p>For example, in response to <code>-g</code>, the <code>option</code> function shown
-above accepts the option but does nothing else, because the <code>ld</code> and <code>as</code>
-commands don't need to be modified on the SPARC. <code>-g</code> will also be added to the
-compiler's options by the host-independent part of the driver. The <code>-p</code> causes <code>option</code>
-to change the name of the startup code and changed the list of libraries. The <code>-b</code>
-option turns on <code>lcc</code>'s per-expression profiling, the code for which is in <code>liblcc.a</code>,
-so <code>option</code> need no nothing.</p>
-
-<p>On SPARCs, the driver also recognizes <code>-Bstatic</code> and <code>-Bdynamic</code>
-as linker options. The driver recognizes but ignores &quot;<code>-target</code> <em>name</em>&quot;
-option.</p>
-
-<p>The option <code>-Wo</code><em>arg</em> causes the driver to pass <em>arg</em> to <code>option</code>.
-Such options have no other effect; this mechanism is provided to support system-specific
-options that affect the commands executed by the driver. As illustrated above,
-host-specific parts should support the <code>-Wo-lccdir=</code><em>dir</em> option, which
-causes lcc's compilation components to be found in <em>dir</em>, because this option is
-used by the test scripts, and because the driver simulates a <code>-Wo-lccdir</code>
-option with the value of the environment variable <code>LCCDIR</code>, if it's defined.
-The code above rebuilds the paths to the include files, preprocessor, compiler, and
-library by calling <code>concat</code>, which is defined in <code>etc/lcc.c</code>.</p>
-
-<h2><a NAME="rcc">Building the Compiler and Accessories</a></h2>
-
-<p>To build the rest of compilation components make sure <code>BUILDDIR</code> is set
-appropriately and type &quot;<code>make all</code>&quot;. This command builds <code>librcc.a</code>
-(the compiler's private library), <code>rcc</code> (the compiler proper), <code>lburg</code>
-(the code-generator generator), <code>cpp</code> (the preprocessor), <code>liblcc.a</code>
-(the runtime library), and <code>bprint</code> (the profile printer), all in <code>BUILDDIR</code>.
-There may be warnings, but there should be no errors. If you're using an ANSI/ISO compiler
-other than <code>cc</code>, specify its name with the <code>CC=</code> option, e.g.,
-&quot;<code>make CC=gcc all</code>&quot;. If you're running on a DEC ALPHA, use &quot;<code>make
-CC='cc -std1' all</code>&quot;; the <code>-std1</code> option is essential on the ALPHA.
-If you're on a DEC 5000 running Ultrix 4.3, use &quot;<code>make CC=c89 all</code>&quot;.</p>
-
-<p>Once <code>rcc</code> is built with the host C compiler, run the test suite to verify
-that <code>rcc</code> is working correctly. If any of the steps below fail, contact us
-(see <a HREF="#bugs"><em>Reporting Bugs</em></a>). The commands in the makefile run the
-shell script <code>src/run.sh</code> on each C program in the test suite, <code>tst/*.c</code>.
-It uses the driver, <code>$BUILDDIR/lcc</code>, so you must have the driver in the build
-directory before testing <code>rcc</code>. The <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
-combination is read from the variable <code>TARGET</code>, which must be specified when

-<p>For each program in the test suite, <code>src/run.sh</code> compiles the program, drops

-aren't, our compiler is generating incorrect code; <a HREF="#bugs">contact</a> us.</p>
-
-<p>The final version of <code>rcc</code> should also pass the test suite; that is, the

-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% make TARGET=sparc/solaris test</pre>

-
-<p>should be identical to that from the previous <code>make test</code>.</p>

-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% rm -fr $BUILDDIR/sparc</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>The code generators for the other targets can be tested by specifying the desired <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
-and setting an environment variable that controls what <code>src/run.sh</code> does. For
-example, to test the MIPS code generator, type</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% setenv REMOTEHOST noexecute
-% make TARGET=mips/irix test</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>As above, <code>src/run.sh</code> compares the MIPS code generated with what's
-expected. There should be no differences. Setting <code>REMOTEHOST</code> to <code>noexecute</code>
-suppresses the assembly and execution of the generated code. If you set <code>REMOTEHOST</code>
-to the name of a MIPS machine to which you can <code>rlogin</code>, <code>src/run.sh</code>
-will <code>rcp</code> the generated code to that machine and execute it there, if
-necessary. See <code>src/run.sh</code> for the details.</p>
-
-<p>You can use lcc as a cross compiler. The options <code>-S</code> and <code>-Wf-target=</code><em>target/os</em>
-generate assembly code for the specified target, which is any of those listed in the file <code>src/bind.c</code>.
-For example, </p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% lcc -Wf-target=mips/irix -S tst/8q.c</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>generates MIPS code for <code>tst/8q.c</code> in <code>8q.s</code>.</p>
-
-<p>lcc can also generate code for a &quot;symbolic&quot; target. This target is used
-routinely in front-end development, and its output is a printable representation of the
-input program, e.g., the dags constructed by the front end are printed, and other
-interface functions print their arguments. You can specify this target with the option <code>-Wf-target=symbolic</code>.
-For example,</p>
-
-<blockquote>
- <pre>% lcc -Wf-target=symbolic -S tst/8q.c</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>generates symbolic output for <code>tst/8q.c</code> in <code>8q.s</code>. Adding <code>-Wf-html</code>
-causes the symbolic target to emit HTML instead of plain text. Finally, the option <code>-Wf-target=null</code>
-specifies the &quot;null&quot; target for which lcc emits nothing and thus only checks the
-syntax and semantics of its input files.</p>

-<h2><a NAME="win32">Installation on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98</a></h2>
-
-<p>On Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98, lcc is designed to work with Microsoft's Visual
-C++ 5.0 (VC) and Microsoft's Assembler, MASM 6.11d. It uses the VC header files,
-libraries, and command-line tools, and it uses MASM to assemble the code it generates. If
-you have MASM 6.11, make sure you <a
-HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q138/9/83.asp">upgrade to 6.11d</a>,
-because earlier 6.11 releases do not generate correct COFF object files.</p>
-
-<p>Building the distribution components from the ground up requires Microsoft's Visual
-C/C++ 5.0 compiler, Microsoft's make, <code>nmake</code>, and the standard Windows command
-interpreter. <a HREF="../makefile.nt"><code>makefile.nt</code></a> is written to use only <code>nmake</code>.
-As on UNIX systems, the compilation components are installed in a single <em>build
-directory</em>, and the top-level programs, <code>lcc.exe</code> and <code>bprint.exe</code>,
-are installed in a directory on the PATH. If the conventions used below are followed, the
-Windows-specific parts of the driver program, <code>lcc.exe</code>, can be used
-unmodified.</p>
-
-<p>Building from the source distribution on a Windows system involves the following steps.
-Below, the build directory is referred to as <code>BUILDDIR</code>, and the distribution
-is in <code>\dist\lcc\4.1</code>.
-
-<ol>
- <li>Create the build directory, perhaps using a version- and platform-specific naming
- convention as suggested in <a HREF="#unix"><em>Installation on UNIX</em></a>, and record
- the name of this directory in the <code>BUILDDIR</code> environment variable:<blockquote>
- <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;set BUILDDIR=\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin
-C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;mkdir %BUILDDIR%</pre>
- </blockquote>
- <p>The default build, or installation, directory is <code>\Program Files\lcc\4.1\bin</code>,
- but the <code>nmake</code> commands require that you use the corresponding 8.3 file name, <code>progra~1</code>,
- instead of <code>Program Files</code>.</p>
- </li>
- <li><a HREF="../etc/win32.c"><code>etc\win32.c</code></a> is the Windows-specific part of
- the driver. It assumes that environment variable <code>include</code> gives the locations
- of the VC header files and that the linker (<code>link.exe</code>) and the assembler (<code>ml.exe</code>)
- are on the PATH. It also assumes that the macro <code>LCCDIR</code> gives the build
- directory. If necessary, revise a copy of <a HREF="../etc/win32.c"><code>etc\win32.c</code></a>

-
-<p>lcc is a large, complex program. We find and repair errors routinely. If you think that
-you've found a error, follow the steps below, which are adapted from the instructions in
-Chapter 1 of <cite>A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation</cite>.
-
-<ol>
- <li>If you don't have a source file that displays the error, create one. Most errors are
- exposed when programmers try to compile a program they think is valid, so you probably
- have a demonstration program already.</li>
- <li>Preprocess the source file and capture the preprocessor output. Discard the original
- code.</li>
- <li>Prune your source code until it can be pruned no more without sending the error into
- hiding. We prune most error demonstrations to fewer than five lines.</li>
- <li>Confirm that the source file displays the error with the <em>distributed</em> version of
- lcc. If you've changed lcc and the error appears only in your version, then you'll have to
- chase the error yourself, even if it turns out to be our fault, because we can't work on
- your code.</li>
- <li>Annotate your code with comments that explain why you think that lcc is wrong. If lcc
- dies with an assertion failure, please tell us where it died. If lcc crashes, please
- report the last part of the call chain if you can. If lcc is rejecting a program you think
- is valid, please tell us why you think it's valid, and include supporting page numbers in
- the ANSI Standard, Appendix A in <cite>The C Programming Language</cite>, or the
- appropriate section in <cite>C: A Reference Manual</cite>, 4th edition by S. B. Harbison
- and G. L. Steele, Jr. (Prentice Hall, 1995). If lcc silently generates incorrect code for
- some construct, please include the corrupt assembly code in the comments and flag the
- incorrect instructions if you can.</li>
- <li>Confirm that your error hasn't been fixed already. The latest version of lcc is always
- available for anonymous <code>ftp</code> from <code>ftp.cs.princeton.edu</code> in <a
- HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/lcc"><code>pub/lcc</code></a>. A <a
- HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/lcc/README"><code>README</code></a> file there gives
- acquistion details, and the <a HREF="../LOG"><code>LOG</code></a> file reports what errors
- were fixed and when they were fixed. If you report a error that's been fixed, you might
- get a canned reply.</li>
- <li>Send your program by electronic mail to <code>lcc-bugs@cs.princeton.edu</code>. Please
- send only valid C programs; put all remarks in C comments so that we can process reports
- semiautomatically.</li>

+<p><code>doc/install.html</code> is the HTML file for this document. <a HREF="4.html"><code>doc/4.html</code></a>
+describes the internal differences between lcc 3.x and 4.1.</p>
+
+<p>The installation makefile is designed so that lcc can be installed from a read-only
+file system or directory, which is common in networked environments, so the distribution
+can be unloaded on a central file server. <strong>You will need an existing ANSI/ISO C
+compiler to build and install lcc.</strong></p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="unix">Installation on UNIX</a></h2>
+
+<p>The compilation components (the preprocessor, include files, and compiler proper, etc.)
+are installed in a single <em>build directory</em>. On multi-platform systems supported by
+a central file server, it's common to store the build directory in a location specific to
+the platform and to the version of lcc, and to point a symbolic link to this location. For
+example,</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% ln -s /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris /usr/local/lib/lcc</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>points <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> to a build directory for lcc version 4.1 on the
+SPARC under Solaris. Links into <code>/usr/local/lib</code> are created for the programs <code>lcc</code>
+and <code>bprint</code>. Thus, a new distribution can be installed by building it in its
+own build directory and changing one symbolic link to point to that directory. If these
+conventions or their equivalents are followed, the host-specific parts of the driver
+program, <code>lcc</code>, can be used unmodified.</p>
+
+<p>Installation on a UNIX system involves the following steps. Below, the build directory
+is referred to as <code>BUILDDIR</code>.
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Create the build directory, using a version- and platform-specific naming convention as
+ suggested above, and record the name of this directory in the <code>BUILDDIR</code>
+ environment variable:<blockquote>
+ <pre>% setenv BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris
+% mkdir -p $BUILDDIR</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>Here and below, commands assume the C shell. Also, you'll need a version of <code>mkdir</code>
+ that supports the <code>-p</code> option, which creates intermediate directories as
+ necessary.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Copy the man pages to the repository for local man pages, e.g.,<blockquote>
+ <pre>% cp doc/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>Some users copy the man pages to the build directory and create the appropriate
+ symbolic links, e.g., </p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <pre>% cp doc/*.1 $BUILDDIR
+% ln -s $BUILDDIR/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ </li>
+ <li>Platform-specific include files are in directories named <code>include/</code><em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>.
+ Create the include directory in the build directory, and copy the include hierarchy for
+ your platform to this directory, e.g.,<blockquote>
+ <pre>% mkdir $BUILDDIR/include
+% cp -p -R include/sparc/solaris/* $BUILDDIR/include</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>Again, some users create a symbolic link to the appropriate directory in the
+ distribution instead of copying the include files. For example, at Princeton, the
+ distributions are stored under <code>/proj/pkg/lcc</code>, so the included files are
+ &quot;installed&quot; by creating one symbolic link: </p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <pre>% ln -s /proj/pkg/lcc/4.1/include/sparc/solaris $BUILDDIR/include</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>If you're installing lcc on Linux, you <em>must</em> also plant a symbolic link named <code>gcc</code>
+ to gcc's library directory, because lcc uses gcc's C preprocessor and most of gcc's header
+ files:</p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <pre>% ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.2 $BUILDDIR/gcc</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>The library directory shown above may be different on your Linux machine; to determine
+ the correct directory, browse <code>/usr/lib/gcc-lib</code>, or execute</p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <pre>% cc -v tst/8q.c</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>and examine the diagnostic output. Make sure that <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/cpp</code> and <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/include</code>
+ point to, respectively, gcc's C preprocessor and header files. On Linux, lcc looks for
+ include files in <code>$BUILDDIR/include</code>, <code>$BUILDDIR/gcc/include</code>, and <code>/usr/include</code>,
+ in that order; see <a HREF="#driver"><em>Building the Driver</em></a> and <a
+ href="../etc/linux.c"><code>etc/linux.c</code></a> for details.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>The <a HREF="../makefile"><code>makefile</code></a> includes the file named by the <code>CUSTOM</code>
+ macro; the default is <code>custom.mk</code>, and an empty <code>custom.mk</code> is
+ included in the distribution. If desired, prepare a site-specification customization file
+ and define <code>CUSTOM</code> to the path of that file when invoking make in steps 5 and
+ 6, e.g.,<blockquote>
+ <pre>make CUSTOM=/users/drh/solaris.mk</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>You can, for example, use customization files to record site-specific values for macros
+ instead of using environment variables, and to record targets for the steps in this list.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Build the host-specific driver, creating a custom host-specific part, if necessary. See <a
+ HREF="#driver"><em>Building the Driver</em></a>.</li>
+ <li>Build the preprocessor, compiler proper, library, and other accessories. See <a
+ HREF="#rcc"><em>Building the Compiler</em></a>.</li>
+ <li>Plant symbolic links to the build directory and to the installed programs, e.g.,<blockquote>
+ <pre>% ln -s $BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc
+% ln -s /usr/local/lib/{lcc,bprint} /usr/local/bin</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>Some users copy <code>bprint</code> and <code>lcc</code> into <code>/usr/local/bin</code>
+ instead of creating symbolic links. The advantange of creating the links for <code>lcc</code>
+ and <code>bprint</code> as shown is that, once established, they point indirectly to
+ whatever <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> points to; installing a new version of lcc, say,
+ 4.2, can be done by changing <code>/usr/local/lib/lcc</code> to point to the 4.2 build
+ directory.</p>
+ </li>
+</ol>
+
+<h2><a NAME="driver">Building the Driver</a></h2>
+
+<p>The preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader are invoked by a driver program, <code>lcc</code>,
+which is similar to <code>cc</code> on most systems. It's described in the man page <code>doc/lcc.1</code>.
+The driver is built by combining the host-independent part, <a href="../etc/lcc.c"><code>etc/lcc.c</code></a>,
+with a small host-specific part. Distributed host-specific parts are named <code>etc/</code><em>os</em><code>.c</code>,
+where <em>os</em> is the name of the operating system for the host on which <code>lcc</code>
+is being installed. If you're following the installations conventions described above, you
+can probably use one of the host-specific parts unmodified; otherwise, pick one that is
+closely related to your platform, copy it to <em>whatever</em><code>.c</code>, and edit it
+as described below. You should not have to edit <code>etc/lcc.c</code>.</p>
+
+<p>We'll use <a HREF="../etc/solaris.c"><code>etc/solaris.c</code></a> as an example in
+describing how the host-specific part works. This example illustrates all the important
+features. Make sure you have the environment variable <code>BUILDDIR</code> set correctly,
+and build the driver with a <code>make</code> command, e.g.,</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% make HOSTFILE=etc/solaris.c lcc
+cc -g -c -DTEMPDIR=\&quot;/tmp\&quot; -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc.o etc/lcc.c
+cc -g -c -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/host.o etc/solaris.c
+cc -g -o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/lcc.o /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/host.o</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The symbolic name <code>HOSTFILE</code> specifies the path to the host-specific part,
+either one in the distribution or <em>whatever</em><code>.c</code>. Some versions of make
+may require the <code>-e</code> option in order to read the environment.</p>

+gcc compiler tools instead of the Sun Pro tools, see <a HREF="../etc/gcc-solaris.c"><code>etc/gcc-solaris.c</code></a>.</p>
+
+<p>Most of the host-specific code is platform-specific data and templates for the commands
+that invoke the preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader. The <code>suffixes</code>
+array lists the file name suffixes for C source files, preprocessed source files, assembly
+language source files, object files, and executable files. <code>suffixes</code> must be
+terminated with a null pointer, as shown above. The initialization of <code>suffixes</code>
+in <code><a HREF="../etc/solaris.c">etc/solaris.c</a></code> are the typical ones for UNIX
+systems. Each element of <code>suffixes</code> is actually a list of suffixes, separated
+by semicolons; <code><a HREF="../etc/win32.c">etc/win32.c</a></code> holds an example:</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>char *suffixes[] = { &quot;.c;.C&quot;, &quot;.i;.I&quot;, &quot;.asm;.ASM;.s;.S&quot;, &quot;.obj;.OBJ&quot;, &quot;.exe&quot;, 0 };</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>When a list is given, the first suffix is used whenever lcc needs to generate a file
+name. For example, with <code><a HREF="../etc/win32.c">etc/win32.c</a></code>, lcc emits
+the generated assembly code into <code>.asm</code> files.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>inputs</code> array holds a null-terminated string of directories separated
+by colons or semicolons. These are used as the default value of <code>LCCINPUTS</code>, if
+the environment variable <code>LCCINPUTS</code> is not set; see the <a HREF="lcc.pdf">man
+page</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Each command template is an array of pointers to strings terminated with a null
+pointer; the strings are full path names of commands, arguments, or argument placeholders,
+which are described below. Commands are executed in a child process, and templates can
+contain multiple commands by separating commands with newlines. The driver runs each
+command in a new process.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>cpp</code> array gives the command for running lcc's preprocessor, <code>cpp</code>.
+Literal arguments specified in templates, e.g., <code>&quot;-Dsparc&quot;</code> in the <code>cpp</code>
+command above, are passed to the command as given.</p>
+
+<p>The strings <code>&quot;$1&quot;</code>, <code>&quot;$2&quot;</code>, and <code>&quot;$3&quot;</code>
+in templates are placeholders for <em>lists</em> of arguments that are substituted in a
+copy of the template before the command is executed. <code>$1</code> is replaced by the <em>options</em>
+specified by the user; for the preprocessor, this list always contains at least <code>-D__LCC__</code>.
+<code>$2</code> is replaced by the <em>input</em> files, and <code>$3</code> is replaced
+by the <em>output</em> file.</p>
+
+<p>Zero-length arguments after replacement are removed from the argument list before the
+command is invoked. So, for example, if the preprocessor is invoked without an output
+file, <code>&quot;$3&quot;</code> becomes <code>&quot;&quot;</code>, which is removed from
+the final argument list.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>include</code> array is a list of <code>-I</code> options that specify which
+directives should be searched to satisfy include directives. These directories are
+searched in the order given. The first directory should be the one to which the ANSI
+header files were copied as described in <a HREF="#unix">UNIX</a> or <a HREF="#win32">Windows</a>
+installation instructions. The driver adds these options to <code>cpp</code>'s arguments
+when it invokes the preprocessor, except when <code>-N</code> is specified.</p>
+
+<p><code>com</code> gives the command for invoking the compiler. This template can appear
+as shown above in a custom host-specific part, but the option <code>-target=sparc/solaris</code>
+should be edited to the <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em> for your platform. If <code>com[1]</code>
+includes the string &quot;<code>win32</code>&quot;, the driver assumes it's running on
+Windows. lcc can generate code for <em>all</em> of the <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
+combinations listed in the file <code>src/bind.c</code>. The <code>-target</code> option
+specifies the default combination. The driver's <code>-Wf</code> option can be used to
+specify other combinations; the <a HREF="lcc.pdf">man page</a> elaborates.</p>
+
+<p><code>as</code> gives the command for invoking the assembler. On Linux, you must be
+running at least version 2.8.1 of the GNU assembler; earlier versions mis-assemble some
+instructions emitted by lcc.</p>
+
+<p><code>ld</code> gives the command for invoking the loader. For the other commands, the
+list <code>$2</code> contains a single file; for <code>ld</code>, <code>$2</code> contains
+all &quot;.o&quot; files and libraries, and <code>$3</code> is <code>a.out</code>, unless
+the <code>-o</code> option is specified. As suggested in the code above, <code>ld</code>
+must also specify the appropriate startup code and default libraries, including the lcc
+library, <code>liblcc.a</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>option</code> function is described below; the minimal <code>option</code>
+function just returns 0.</p>
+
+<p>You can test <code>lcc</code> with the options <code>-v -v</code> to display the
+commands that would be executed, e.g.,</p>

+
+<p>As the output shows, <code>lcc</code> places temporary files in <code>/tmp</code>; if
+any of the environment variables <code>TMP</code>, <code>TEMP</code>, and <code>TMPDIR</code>
+are set, they override this default (in the order shown) as does the <code>-tempdir=</code><em>dir</em>
+option. The default can be changed by defining <code>TEMPDIR</code> in <code>CFLAGS</code>
+when building the driver.</p>
+
+<p>The <code>option</code> function is called for the options <code>-Wo</code>, <code>-g</code>,
+<code>-p</code>, <code>-pg</code>, and <code>-b</code> because these compiler options
+might also affect the loader's arguments. For these options, the driver calls <code>option(arg)</code>
+to give the host-specific code an opportunity to edit the <code>ld</code> command, if
+necessary. <code>option</code> can change <code>ld</code>, if necessary, and return 1 to
+announce its acceptance of the option. If the option is unsupported, <code>option</code>
+should return 0.</p>
+
+<p>For example, in response to <code>-g</code>, the <code>option</code> function shown
+above accepts the option but does nothing else, because the <code>ld</code> and <code>as</code>
+commands don't need to be modified on the SPARC. <code>-g</code> will also be added to the
+compiler's options by the host-independent part of the driver. The <code>-p</code> causes <code>option</code>
+to change the name of the startup code and changed the list of libraries. The <code>-b</code>
+option turns on <code>lcc</code>'s per-expression profiling, the code for which is in <code>liblcc.a</code>,
+so <code>option</code> need no nothing.</p>
+
+<p>On SPARCs, the driver also recognizes <code>-Bstatic</code> and <code>-Bdynamic</code>
+as linker options. The driver recognizes but ignores &quot;<code>-target</code> <em>name</em>&quot;
+option.</p>
+
+<p>The option <code>-Wo</code><em>arg</em> causes the driver to pass <em>arg</em> to <code>option</code>.
+Such options have no other effect; this mechanism is provided to support system-specific
+options that affect the commands executed by the driver. As illustrated above,
+host-specific parts should support the <code>-Wo-lccdir=</code><em>dir</em> option, which
+causes lcc's compilation components to be found in <em>dir</em>, because this option is
+used by the test scripts, and because the driver simulates a <code>-Wo-lccdir</code>
+option with the value of the environment variable <code>LCCDIR</code>, if it's defined.
+The code above rebuilds the paths to the include files, preprocessor, compiler, and
+library by calling <code>concat</code>, which is defined in <code>etc/lcc.c</code>.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="rcc">Building the Compiler and Accessories</a></h2>
+
+<p>To build the rest of compilation components make sure <code>BUILDDIR</code> is set
+appropriately and type &quot;<code>make all</code>&quot;. This command builds <code>librcc.a</code>
+(the compiler's private library), <code>rcc</code> (the compiler proper), <code>lburg</code>
+(the code-generator generator), <code>cpp</code> (the preprocessor), <code>liblcc.a</code>
+(the runtime library), and <code>bprint</code> (the profile printer), all in <code>BUILDDIR</code>.
+There may be warnings, but there should be no errors. If you're using an ANSI/ISO compiler
+other than <code>cc</code>, specify its name with the <code>CC=</code> option, e.g.,
+&quot;<code>make CC=gcc all</code>&quot;. If you're running on a DEC ALPHA, use &quot;<code>make
+CC='cc -std1' all</code>&quot;; the <code>-std1</code> option is essential on the ALPHA.
+If you're on a DEC 5000 running Ultrix 4.3, use &quot;<code>make CC=c89 all</code>&quot;.</p>
+
+<p>Once <code>rcc</code> is built with the host C compiler, run the test suite to verify
+that <code>rcc</code> is working correctly. If any of the steps below fail, contact us
+(see <a HREF="#bugs"><em>Reporting Bugs</em></a>). The commands in the makefile run the
+shell script <code>src/run.sh</code> on each C program in the test suite, <code>tst/*.c</code>.
+It uses the driver, <code>$BUILDDIR/lcc</code>, so you must have the driver in the build
+directory before testing <code>rcc</code>. The <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
+combination is read from the variable <code>TARGET</code>, which must be specified when

+
+<p>For each program in the test suite, <code>src/run.sh</code> compiles the program, drops

+and uses <code>diff</code> to compare the generated assembly code with the expected code
+(the code expected for <code>tst/8q.c</code> on the SPARC under Solaris is in <code>sparc/solaris/tst/8q.sbk</code>,

+
+<p>This command builds <code>rcc</code> twice; once using the <code>rcc</code> built by <code>cc</code>
+and again using the <code>rcc</code> built by <code>lcc</code>. The resulting binaries are
+compared. They should be identical, as shown at the end of the output above. If they
+aren't, our compiler is generating incorrect code; <a HREF="#bugs">contact</a> us.</p>
+
+<p>The final version of <code>rcc</code> should also pass the test suite; that is, the
+output from</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% make TARGET=sparc/solaris test</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>should be identical to that from the previous <code>make test</code>.</p>
+
+<p>The command &quot;<code>make clean</code>&quot; cleans up, but does not remove <code>rcc</code>,
+etc., and &quot;<code>make clobber</code>&quot; cleans up and removes <code>lcc</code>, <code>rcc</code>,
+and the other accessories. Test directories under <code>BUILDDIR</code> are <em>not</em>
+removed; you'll need to remove these by hand, e.g.,</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% rm -fr $BUILDDIR/sparc</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>The code generators for the other targets can be tested by specifying the desired <em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>
+and setting an environment variable that controls what <code>src/run.sh</code> does. For
+example, to test the MIPS code generator, type</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% setenv REMOTEHOST noexecute
+% make TARGET=mips/irix test</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>As above, <code>src/run.sh</code> compares the MIPS code generated with what's
+expected. There should be no differences. Setting <code>REMOTEHOST</code> to <code>noexecute</code>
+suppresses the assembly and execution of the generated code. If you set <code>REMOTEHOST</code>
+to the name of a MIPS machine to which you can <code>rlogin</code>, <code>src/run.sh</code>
+will <code>rcp</code> the generated code to that machine and execute it there, if
+necessary. See <code>src/run.sh</code> for the details.</p>
+
+<p>You can use lcc as a cross compiler. The options <code>-S</code> and <code>-Wf-target=</code><em>target/os</em>
+generate assembly code for the specified target, which is any of those listed in the file <code>src/bind.c</code>.
+For example, </p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% lcc -Wf-target=mips/irix -S tst/8q.c</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>generates MIPS code for <code>tst/8q.c</code> in <code>8q.s</code>.</p>
+
+<p>lcc can also generate code for a &quot;symbolic&quot; target. This target is used
+routinely in front-end development, and its output is a printable representation of the
+input program, e.g., the dags constructed by the front end are printed, and other
+interface functions print their arguments. You can specify this target with the option <code>-Wf-target=symbolic</code>.
+For example,</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+ <pre>% lcc -Wf-target=symbolic -S tst/8q.c</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>generates symbolic output for <code>tst/8q.c</code> in <code>8q.s</code>. Adding <code>-Wf-html</code>
+causes the symbolic target to emit HTML instead of plain text. Finally, the option <code>-Wf-target=null</code>
+specifies the &quot;null&quot; target for which lcc emits nothing and thus only checks the
+syntax and semantics of its input files.</p>
+
+<h2><a NAME="win32">Installation on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98</a></h2>
+
+<p>On Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98, lcc is designed to work with Microsoft's Visual
+C++ 5.0 (VC) and Microsoft's Assembler, MASM 6.11d. It uses the VC header files,
+libraries, and command-line tools, and it uses MASM to assemble the code it generates. If
+you have MASM 6.11, make sure you <a
+HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q138/9/83.asp">upgrade to 6.11d</a>,
+because earlier 6.11 releases do not generate correct COFF object files.</p>
+
+<p>Building the distribution components from the ground up requires Microsoft's Visual
+C/C++ 5.0 compiler, Microsoft's make, <code>nmake</code>, and the standard Windows command
+interpreter. <a HREF="../makefile.nt"><code>makefile.nt</code></a> is written to use only <code>nmake</code>.
+As on UNIX systems, the compilation components are installed in a single <em>build
+directory</em>, and the top-level programs, <code>lcc.exe</code> and <code>bprint.exe</code>,
+are installed in a directory on the PATH. If the conventions used below are followed, the
+Windows-specific parts of the driver program, <code>lcc.exe</code>, can be used
+unmodified.</p>
+
+<p>Building from the source distribution on a Windows system involves the following steps.
+Below, the build directory is referred to as <code>BUILDDIR</code>, and the distribution
+is in <code>\dist\lcc\4.1</code>.
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Create the build directory, perhaps using a version- and platform-specific naming
+ convention as suggested in <a HREF="#unix"><em>Installation on UNIX</em></a>, and record
+ the name of this directory in the <code>BUILDDIR</code> environment variable:<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;set BUILDDIR=\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin
+C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;mkdir %BUILDDIR%</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>The default build, or installation, directory is <code>\Program Files\lcc\4.1\bin</code>,
+ but the <code>nmake</code> commands require that you use the corresponding 8.3 file name, <code>progra~1</code>,
+ instead of <code>Program Files</code>.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li><a HREF="../etc/win32.c"><code>etc\win32.c</code></a> is the Windows-specific part of
+ the driver. It assumes that environment variable <code>include</code> gives the locations
+ of the VC header files and that the linker (<code>link.exe</code>) and the assembler (<code>ml.exe</code>)
+ are on the PATH. It also assumes that the macro <code>LCCDIR</code> gives the build
+ directory. If necessary, revise a copy of <a HREF="../etc/win32.c"><code>etc\win32.c</code></a>
+ to reflect the conventions on your computer (see <a HREF="#driver"><em>Building the Driver</em></a>),
+ then build the driver, specifying the default temporary directory, if necessary:<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;nmake -f makefile.nt TEMPDIR=\\temp HOSTFILE=etc/win32.c lcc

+ <p>If you make a copy of <code>etc\win32.c</code>, specify the path of the copy as the

+ and edit it, use the command</p>
+ <blockquote>

+ HREF="#rcc"><em>Building the Compiler</em></a>):<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;nmake -f makefile.nt all</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>This command uses the VC command-line tools <code>cl</code> and <code>lib</code> to
+ build <code>bprint.exe</code>, <code>cpp.exe</code>, <code>lburg.exe</code>, <code>liblcc.lib</code>,
+ <code>librcc.lib</code>, and <code>rcc.exe</code>, all in <code>BUILDDIR</code>. There may
+ be some warnings, but there should be no warnings.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Create a test directory and run the test suite:<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;mkdir %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst
+C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;nmake -f makefile.nt test</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>This command compiles each program in <a HREF="../tst">tst</a>, compares the generated
+ assembly code and diagnostics with the expected assembly code and diagnostics, executes
+ the program, and compares the output with the expected output (using <code>fc</code>). For
+ example, when the nmake command compiles <a HREF="../tst/8q.c"><code>tst\8q.c</code></a>,
+ it leaves the generated assembly code and diagnostic output in <code>%BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.s</code>
+ and <code>%BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.2</code>, and it compares them with the expected
+ results in <code>x86\win32\tst\8q.sbk</code>. It builds the executable program in <code>%BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.exe</code>,
+ runs it, and redirects the output to <code>%BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.1</code>, which it
+ compares with <code>x86\win32\tst\8q.1bk</code>. The output from this step is voluminous,
+ but there should be no differences and no errors.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Run the &quot;triple&quot; test, which compiles <code>rcc</code> with itself and
+ verifies the results:<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;nmake -f makefile.nt triple
+...
+\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\x86.c:
+ Assembling: C:/TEMP/lcc2001.asm

+Comparing files \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\1rcc.exe and \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\2RCC.EXE
+00000088: B4 D5</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>This command builds <code>rcc</code> twice; once using the <code>rcc</code> built by VC
+ and again using the <code>rcc</code> built by <code>lcc</code>. The resulting binaries are
+ compared using <code>fc</code>. They should be identical, except for one or two bytes of
+ timestamp data, as shown at the end of the output above. If they aren't, our compiler is
+ generating incorrect code; <a HREF="#bugs">contact</a> us.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Copy <code>lcc.exe</code> and <code>bprint.exe</code> to a directory on your PATH, e.g.,<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;copy %BUILDDIR%\lcc.exe \bin
+ 1 file(s) copied.
+
+C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;copy %BUILDDIR%\bprint.exe \bin
+ 1 file(s) copied.</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ </li>
+ <li>Finally, clean up:<blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;nmake -f makefile.nt clean</pre>
+ </blockquote>
+ <p>This command removes the derived files in <code>BUILDDIR</code>, but does not remove <code>rcc.exe</code>,
+ etc.; &quot;<code>nmake -f makefile.nt clobber</code>&quot; cleans up and removes all
+ executables and libraries. Test directories under <code>BUILDDIR</code> are <em>not</em>
+ removed; you'll need to remove these by hand, e.g.,</p>
+ <blockquote>
+ <pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1&gt;rmdir %BUILDDIR%\x86 /s
+\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\x86, Are you sure (Y/N)? y</pre>

+<h2><a NAME="bugs">Reporting Bugs</a></h2>
+
+<p>lcc is a large, complex program. We find and repair errors routinely. If you think that
+you've found a error, follow the steps below, which are adapted from the instructions in
+Chapter 1 of <cite>A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation</cite>.
+
+<ol>
+ <li>If you don't have a source file that displays the error, create one. Most errors are
+ exposed when programmers try to compile a program they think is valid, so you probably
+ have a demonstration program already.</li>
+ <li>Preprocess the source file and capture the preprocessor output. Discard the original
+ code.</li>
+ <li>Prune your source code until it can be pruned no more without sending the error into
+ hiding. We prune most error demonstrations to fewer than five lines.</li>
+ <li>Confirm that the source file displays the error with the <em>distributed</em> version of
+ lcc. If you've changed lcc and the error appears only in your version, then you'll have to
+ chase the error yourself, even if it turns out to be our fault, because we can't work on
+ your code.</li>
+ <li>Annotate your code with comments that explain why you think that lcc is wrong. If lcc
+ dies with an assertion failure, please tell us where it died. If lcc crashes, please
+ report the last part of the call chain if you can. If lcc is rejecting a program you think
+ is valid, please tell us why you think it's valid, and include supporting page numbers in
+ the ANSI Standard, Appendix A in <cite>The C Programming Language</cite>, or the
+ appropriate section in <cite>C: A Reference Manual</cite>, 4th edition by S. B. Harbison
+ and G. L. Steele, Jr. (Prentice Hall, 1995). If lcc silently generates incorrect code for
+ some construct, please include the corrupt assembly code in the comments and flag the
+ incorrect instructions if you can.</li>
+ <li>Confirm that your error hasn't been fixed already. The latest version of lcc is always
+ available for anonymous <code>ftp</code> from <code>ftp.cs.princeton.edu</code> in <a
+ HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/lcc"><code>pub/lcc</code></a>. A <a
+ HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/lcc/README"><code>README</code></a> file there gives
+ acquistion details, and the <a HREF="../LOG"><code>LOG</code></a> file reports what errors
+ were fixed and when they were fixed. If you report a error that's been fixed, you might
+ get a canned reply.</li>
+ <li>Send your program by electronic mail to <code>lcc-bugs@cs.princeton.edu</code>. Please
+ send only valid C programs; put all remarks in C comments so that we can process reports
+ semiautomatically.</li>

-.SH NAME
-lcc \- ANSI C compiler
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B lcc
-[
-.I option
-|
-.I file
-]...
-.br
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.PP
-.I lcc
-is an ANSI C compiler for a variety of platforms.
-.PP
-Arguments whose names end with `.c' (plus `.C' under Windows) are taken to be
-C source programs; they are preprocessed, compiled, and
-each object program is left on the file
-whose name is that of the source with `.o' (UNIX) or `.obj' (Windows)
-substituted for the extension.
-Arguments whose names end with `.i' are treated similarly,
-except they are not preprocessed.
-In the same way,
-arguments ending with `.s' (plus `.S', `.asm', and `.ASM', under Windows)
-are taken to be assembly source programs
-and are assembled, producing an object file.
-If there are no arguments,
-.I lcc
-summarizes its options on the standard error.
-.PP
-.I lcc
-deletes an object file if and only if exactly one
-source file is mentioned and no other file
-(source, object, library) or
-.B \-l
-option is mentioned.
-.PP
-If the environment variable
-.B LCCINPUTS
-is set,
-.I lcc
-assumes it gives a semicolon- or colon-separated list of directories in which to
-look for source and object files whose names do not begin with `/'.
-These directories are also added to the list of directories
-searched for libraries.
-If
-.B LCCINPUTS
-is defined, it must contain `.' in order for the current directory
-to be searched for input files.
-.PP
-.I lcc
-uses ANSI standard header files (see `FILES' below).
-Include files not found in the ANSI header files
-are taken from the normal default include areas,
-which usually includes
-.BR /usr/include .
-Under Windows, if the environment variable
-.B include
-is defined, it gives a semicolon-separated list of directories in which to search for
-header files.
-.PP
-.I lcc
-interprets the following options; unrecognized options are
-taken as loader options (see
-.IR ld (1))
-unless
-.BR \-c ,
-.BR \-S ,
-or
-.B \-E
-precedes them.
-Except for
-.BR \-l ,
-all options are processed before any of the files
-and apply to all of the files.
-Applicable options are passed to each compilation phase in the order given.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-Suppress the loading phase of the compilation, and force
-an object file to be produced even if only one program is compiled.
-.TP
-.B \-g
-Produce additional symbol table information for the local debuggers.
-.I lcc
-warns when
-.B \-g
-is unsupported.
-.TP
-.BI \-Wf\-g n , x
-Set the debugging level to
-.I n
-and emit source code as comments into the generated assembly code;
-.I x
-must be the assembly language comment character.
-If
-.I n
-is omitted, it defaults to 1, which is similar to
-.BR \-g .
-Omitting
-.BI , x
-just sets the debugging level to
-.IR n .
-.TP
-.B \-w
-Suppress warning diagnostics, such as those
-announcing unreferenced statics, locals, and parameters.
-The line
-.I
-#pragma ref id
-simulates a reference to the variable
-.IR id .
-.TP
-.BI \-d n
-Generate jump tables for switches whose density is at least
-.IR n ,
-a floating point constant between zero and one.
-The default is 0.5.
-.TP
-.B \-A
-Warns about
-declarations and casts of function types without prototypes,
-assignments between pointers to ints and pointers to enums, and
-conversions from pointers to smaller integral types.
-A second
-.B \-A
-warns about
-unrecognized control lines,
-nonANSI language extensions and source characters in literals,
-unreferenced variables and static functions,
-declaring arrays of incomplete types,
-and exceeding
-.I some
-ANSI environmental limits, like more than 257 cases in switches.
-It also arranges for duplicate global definitions in separately compiled
-files to cause loader errors.
-.TP
-.B \-P
-Writes declarations for all defined globals on standard error.
-Function declarations include prototypes;
-editing this output can simplify conversion to ANSI C.
-This output may not correspond to the input when
-there are several typedefs for the same type.
-.TP
-.B \-n
-Arrange for the compiler to produce code
-that tests for dereferencing zero pointers.
-The code reports the offending file and line number and calls
-.IR abort (3).
-.TP
-.B \-O
-is ignored.
-.TP
-.B \-S
-Compile the named C programs, and leave the
-assembler-language output on corresponding files suffixed `.s' or `.asm'.
-.TP
-.B \-E
-Run only the preprocessor on the named C programs
-and unsuffixed file arguments,
-and send the result to the standard output.
-.TP
-.BI \-o " output"
-Name the output file
-.IR output .
-If
-.B \-c
-or
-.B \-S
-is specified and there is exactly one source file,
-this option names the object or assembly file, respectively.
-Otherwise, this option names the final executable
-file generated by the loader, and `a.out' (UNIX) or `a.exe' (Windows) is left undisturbed.
-.I lcc
-warns if
-.B \-o
-and
-.B \-c
-or
-.B \-S
-are given with more than one source file and ignores the
-.B \-o
-option.
-.TP
-.BI \-D name=def
-Define the
-.I name
-to the preprocessor, as if by `#define'.
-If
-.I =def
-is omitted, the name is defined as "1".
-.TP
-.BI \-U name
-Remove any initial definition of
-.IR name .
-.TP
-.BI \-I dir
-`#include' files
-whose names do not begin with `/' are always
-sought first in the directory of the
-.I file
-arguments, then in directories named in
-.B \-I
-options, then in directories on a standard list.
-.TP
-.B \-N
-Do not search
-.I any
-of the standard directories for `#include' files.
-Only those directories specified by subsequent explicit
-.B \-I
-options will be searched, in the order given.
-.TP
-.BI \-B str
-Use the compiler
-.BI "" str rcc
-instead of the default version.
-Note that
-.I str
-often requires a trailing slash.
-On Sparcs only,
-.B \-Bstatic
-and
-.BI \-Bdynamic
-are passed to the loader; see
-.IR ld (1).
-.TP
-.BI \-Wo\-lccdir= dir
-Find the preprocessor, compiler proper, and include directory
-in the directory
-.I dir/
-or
-.I
-dir\\.
-If the environment variable
-.B LCCDIR
-is defined, it gives this directory.
-.I lcc
-warns when this option is unsupported.
-.TP
-.B \-Wf-unsigned_char=1
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.B \-Wf-unsigned_char=0
-makes plain
-.B char
-an unsigned (1) or signed (0) type; by default,
-.B char
-is signed.
-.TP
-.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_char
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_short
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_int
-Makes wide characters the type indicated; by default,
-wide characters are unsigned short ints, and
-.B wchar_t
-is a typedef for unsigned short defined in stddef.h.
-The definition for
-.B wchar_t
-in stddef.h must correspond to the type specified.
-.TP
-.B \-v
-Print commands as they are executed; some of the executed
-programs are directed to print their version numbers.
-More than one occurrence of
-.B \-v
-causes the commands to be printed, but
-.I not
-executed.
-.TP
-.BR \-help " or " \-?
-Print a message on the standard error summarizing
-.IR lcc 's
-options and giving the values of the environment variables
-.B LCCINPUTS
-and
-.BR LCCDIR ,
-if they are defined.
-Under Windows, the values of
-.B include
-and
-.B lib
-are also given, if they are defined.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Produce code that counts the number of times each expression is executed.
-If loading takes place, arrange for a
-.B prof.out
-file to be written when the object program terminates.
-A listing annotated with execution counts can then be generated with
-.IR bprint (1).
-.I lcc
-warns when
-.B \-b
-is unsupported.
-.B \-Wf\-C
-is similar, but counts only the number of function calls.
-.TP
-.B \-p
-Produce code that counts the number of times each function is called.
-If loading takes place, replace the standard startup
-function by one that automatically calls
-.IR monitor (3)
-at the start and arranges to write a
-.B mon.out
-file when the object program terminates normally.
-An execution profile can then be generated with
-.IR prof (1).
-.I lcc
-warns when
-.B \-p
-is unsupported.
-.TP
-.B \-pg
-Causes the compiler to produce counting code like
-.BR \-p ,
-but invokes a run-time recording mechanism that keeps more
-extensive statistics and produces a
-.B gmon.out
-file at normal termination.
-Also, a profiling library is searched, in lieu of the standard C library.
-An execution profile can then be generated with
-.IR gprof (1).
-.I lcc
-warns when
-.B \-pg
-is unsupported.
-.TP
-.BI \-t name
-.br
-.ns
-.TP
-.BI \-t
-Produce code to print the name of the function, an activation number,
-and the name and value of each argument at function entry.
-At function exit, produce code to print
-the name of the function, the activation number, and the return value.
-By default,
-.I printf
-does the printing; if
-.I name
-appears, it does.
-For null
-.I char*
-values, "(null)" is printed.
-.BI \-target
-.I name
-is accepted, but ignored.
-.TP
-.BI \-tempdir= dir
-Store temporary files in the directory
-.I dir/
-or
-.I
-dir\\.
-The default is usually
-.BR /tmp .
-.TP
-.BI \-W xarg
-pass argument
-.I arg
-to the program indicated by
-.IR x ;
-.I x
-can be one of
-.BR p ,
-.BR f ,
-.BR a ,
-or
-.BR l ,
-which refer, respectively, to the preprocessor, the compiler proper,
-the assembler, and the loader.
-.I arg
-is passed as given; if a
-.B \-
-is expected, it must be given explicitly.
-.BI \-Wo arg
-specifies a system-specific option,
-.IR arg .
-.PP
-Other arguments
-are taken to be either loader option arguments, or C-compatible
-object programs, typically produced by an earlier
-.I lcc
-run, or perhaps libraries of C-compatible routines.
-Duplicate object files are ignored.
-These programs, together with the results of any
-compilations specified, are loaded (in the order
-given) to produce an executable program with name
-.BR a.out
-(UNIX) or
-.BR a.exe
-(Windows).
-.PP
-.I lcc
-assigns the most frequently referenced scalar parameters and
-locals to registers whenever possible.
-For each block,
-explicit register declarations are obeyed first;
-remaining registers are assigned to automatic locals if they
-are `referenced' at least 3 times.
-Each top-level occurrence of an identifier
-counts as 1 reference. Occurrences in a loop,
-either of the then/else arms of an if statement, or a case
-in a switch statement each count, respectively, as 10, 1/2, or 1/10 references.
-These values are adjusted accordingly for nested control structures.
-.B \-Wf\-a
-causes
-.I lcc
-to read a
-.B prof.out
-file from a previous execution and to use the data therein
-to compute reference counts (see
-.BR \-b ).
-.PP
-.I lcc
-is a cross compiler;
-.BI \-Wf\-target= target/os
-causes
-.I lcc
-to generate code for
-.I target
-running the operating system denoted by
-.IR os .
-The supported
-.I target/os
-combinations may include
-.PP
-.RS
-.ta \w'sparc/solarisxx'u
-.nf
-alpha/osf ALPHA, OSF 3.2
-mips/irix big-endian MIPS, IRIX 5.2
-mips/ultrix little-endian MIPS, ULTRIX 4.3
-sparc/solaris SPARC, Solaris 2.3
-x86/win32 x86, Windows NT 4.0/Windows 95/98
-x86/linux x86, Linux
-symbolic text rendition of the generated code
-null no output
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-For
-.BR \-Wf\-target=symbolic ,
-the option
-.B \-Wf-html
-causes the text rendition to be emitted as HTML.
-.B
-.SH LIMITATIONS
-.PP
-.I lcc
-accepts the C programming language
-as described in the ANSI standard.
-If
-.I lcc
-is used with the GNU C preprocessor, the
-.B \-Wp\-trigraphs
-option is required to enable trigraph sequences.
-.PP
-Plain int bit fields are signed.
-Bit fields are aligned like unsigned integers but are otherwise laid out
-as by most standard C compilers.
-Some compilers, such as the GNU C compiler,
-may choose other, incompatible layouts.
-.PP
-Likewise, calling conventions are intended to be compatible with
-the host C compiler,
-except possibly for passing and returning structures.
-Specifically,
-.I lcc
-passes and returns structures like host ANSI C compilers
-on most targets, but some older host C compilers use different conventions.
-Consequently, calls to/from such functions compiled with
-older C compilers may not work.
-Calling a function that returns
-a structure without declaring it as such violates
-the ANSI standard and may cause a fault.
-.SH FILES
-.PP
-The file names listed below are
-.IR typical ,
-but vary among installations; installation-dependent variants
-can be displayed by running
-.I lcc
-with the
-.B \-v
-option.

-The ANSI standard headers conform to the specifications in
-the Standard, which may be too restrictive for some applications,
-but necessary for portability.
-Functions given in the ANSI headers may be missing from
-some local C libraries (e.g., wide-character functions)
-or may not correspond exactly to the local versions;
-for example, the ANSI standard
-stdio.h
-specifies that
-.IR printf ,
-.IR fprintf ,
-and
-.I sprintf
-return the number of characters written to the file or array,
-but some existing libraries don't implement this convention.
-.PP
-On the MIPS and SPARC, old-style variadic functions must use
-varargs.h
-from MIPS or Sun. New-style is recommended.
-.PP
-With
-.BR \-b ,
-files compiled
-.I without
-.B \-b
-may cause
-.I bprint
-to print erroneous call graphs.
-For example, if
-.B f
-calls
-.B g
-calls
-.B h
-and
-.B f
-and
-.B h
-are compiled with
-.BR \-b ,
-but
-.B g
-is not,
-.B bprint
-will report that
-.B f
-called
-.BR h .
-The total number of calls is correct, however.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I lcc
+is an ANSI C compiler for a variety of platforms.
+.PP
+Arguments whose names end with `.c' (plus `.C' under Windows) are taken to be
+C source programs; they are preprocessed, compiled, and
+each object program is left on the file
+whose name is that of the source with `.o' (UNIX) or `.obj' (Windows)
+substituted for the extension.
+Arguments whose names end with `.i' are treated similarly,
+except they are not preprocessed.
+In the same way,
+arguments ending with `.s' (plus `.S', `.asm', and `.ASM', under Windows)
+are taken to be assembly source programs
+and are assembled, producing an object file.
+If there are no arguments,
+.I lcc
+summarizes its options on the standard error.
+.PP
+.I lcc
+deletes an object file if and only if exactly one
+source file is mentioned and no other file
+(source, object, library) or
+.B \-l
+option is mentioned.
+.PP
+If the environment variable
+.B LCCINPUTS
+is set,
+.I lcc
+assumes it gives a semicolon- or colon-separated list of directories in which to
+look for source and object files whose names do not begin with `/'.
+These directories are also added to the list of directories
+searched for libraries.
+If
+.B LCCINPUTS
+is defined, it must contain `.' in order for the current directory
+to be searched for input files.
+.PP
+.I lcc
+uses ANSI standard header files (see `FILES' below).
+Include files not found in the ANSI header files
+are taken from the normal default include areas,
+which usually includes
+.BR /usr/include .
+Under Windows, if the environment variable
+.B include
+is defined, it gives a semicolon-separated list of directories in which to search for
+header files.
+.PP
+.I lcc
+interprets the following options; unrecognized options are
+taken as loader options (see
+.IR ld (1))
+unless
+.BR \-c ,
+.BR \-S ,
+or
+.B \-E
+precedes them.
+Except for
+.BR \-l ,
+all options are processed before any of the files
+and apply to all of the files.
+Applicable options are passed to each compilation phase in the order given.
+.TP
+.B \-c
+Suppress the loading phase of the compilation, and force
+an object file to be produced even if only one program is compiled.
+.TP
+.B \-g
+Produce additional symbol table information for the local debuggers.
+.I lcc
+warns when
+.B \-g
+is unsupported.
+.TP
+.BI \-Wf\-g n , x
+Set the debugging level to
+.I n
+and emit source code as comments into the generated assembly code;
+.I x
+must be the assembly language comment character.
+If
+.I n
+is omitted, it defaults to 1, which is similar to
+.BR \-g .
+Omitting
+.BI , x
+just sets the debugging level to
+.IR n .
+.TP
+.B \-w
+Suppress warning diagnostics, such as those
+announcing unreferenced statics, locals, and parameters.
+The line
+.I
+#pragma ref id
+simulates a reference to the variable
+.IR id .
+.TP
+.BI \-d n
+Generate jump tables for switches whose density is at least
+.IR n ,
+a floating point constant between zero and one.
+The default is 0.5.
+.TP
+.B \-A
+Warns about
+declarations and casts of function types without prototypes,
+assignments between pointers to ints and pointers to enums, and
+conversions from pointers to smaller integral types.
+A second
+.B \-A
+warns about
+unrecognized control lines,
+nonANSI language extensions and source characters in literals,
+unreferenced variables and static functions,
+declaring arrays of incomplete types,
+and exceeding
+.I some
+ANSI environmental limits, like more than 257 cases in switches.
+It also arranges for duplicate global definitions in separately compiled
+files to cause loader errors.
+.TP
+.B \-P
+Writes declarations for all defined globals on standard error.
+Function declarations include prototypes;
+editing this output can simplify conversion to ANSI C.
+This output may not correspond to the input when
+there are several typedefs for the same type.
+.TP
+.B \-n
+Arrange for the compiler to produce code
+that tests for dereferencing zero pointers.
+The code reports the offending file and line number and calls
+.IR abort (3).
+.TP
+.B \-O
+is ignored.
+.TP
+.B \-S
+Compile the named C programs, and leave the
+assembler-language output on corresponding files suffixed `.s' or `.asm'.
+.TP
+.B \-E
+Run only the preprocessor on the named C programs
+and unsuffixed file arguments,
+and send the result to the standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-o " output"
+Name the output file
+.IR output .
+If
+.B \-c
+or
+.B \-S
+is specified and there is exactly one source file,
+this option names the object or assembly file, respectively.
+Otherwise, this option names the final executable
+file generated by the loader, and `a.out' (UNIX) or `a.exe' (Windows) is left undisturbed.
+.I lcc
+warns if
+.B \-o
+and
+.B \-c
+or
+.B \-S
+are given with more than one source file and ignores the
+.B \-o
+option.
+.TP
+.BI \-D name=def
+Define the
+.I name
+to the preprocessor, as if by `#define'.
+If
+.I =def
+is omitted, the name is defined as "1".
+.TP
+.BI \-U name
+Remove any initial definition of
+.IR name .
+.TP
+.BI \-I dir
+`#include' files
+whose names do not begin with `/' are always
+sought first in the directory of the
+.I file
+arguments, then in directories named in
+.B \-I
+options, then in directories on a standard list.
+.TP
+.B \-N
+Do not search
+.I any
+of the standard directories for `#include' files.
+Only those directories specified by subsequent explicit
+.B \-I
+options will be searched, in the order given.
+.TP
+.BI \-B str
+Use the compiler
+.BI "" str rcc
+instead of the default version.
+Note that
+.I str
+often requires a trailing slash.
+On Sparcs only,
+.B \-Bstatic
+and
+.BI \-Bdynamic
+are passed to the loader; see
+.IR ld (1).
+.TP
+.BI \-Wo\-lccdir= dir
+Find the preprocessor, compiler proper, and include directory
+in the directory
+.I dir/
+or
+.I
+dir\\.
+If the environment variable
+.B LCCDIR
+is defined, it gives this directory.
+.I lcc
+warns when this option is unsupported.
+.TP
+.B \-Wf-unsigned_char=1
+.br
+.ns
+.TP
+.B \-Wf-unsigned_char=0
+makes plain
+.B char
+an unsigned (1) or signed (0) type; by default,
+.B char
+is signed.
+.TP
+.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_char
+.br
+.ns
+.TP
+.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_short
+.br
+.ns
+.TP
+.B \-Wf\-wchar_t=unsigned_int
+Makes wide characters the type indicated; by default,
+wide characters are unsigned short ints, and
+.B wchar_t
+is a typedef for unsigned short defined in stddef.h.
+The definition for
+.B wchar_t
+in stddef.h must correspond to the type specified.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Print commands as they are executed; some of the executed
+programs are directed to print their version numbers.
+More than one occurrence of
+.B \-v
+causes the commands to be printed, but
+.I not
+executed.
+.TP
+.BR \-help " or " \-?
+Print a message on the standard error summarizing
+.IR lcc 's
+options and giving the values of the environment variables
+.B LCCINPUTS
+and
+.BR LCCDIR ,
+if they are defined.
+Under Windows, the values of
+.B include
+and
+.B lib
+are also given, if they are defined.
+.TP
+.B \-b
+Produce code that counts the number of times each expression is executed.
+If loading takes place, arrange for a
+.B prof.out
+file to be written when the object program terminates.
+A listing annotated with execution counts can then be generated with
+.IR bprint (1).
+.I lcc
+warns when
+.B \-b
+is unsupported.
+.B \-Wf\-C
+is similar, but counts only the number of function calls.
+.TP
+.B \-p
+Produce code that counts the number of times each function is called.
+If loading takes place, replace the standard startup
+function by one that automatically calls
+.IR monitor (3)
+at the start and arranges to write a
+.B mon.out
+file when the object program terminates normally.
+An execution profile can then be generated with
+.IR prof (1).
+.I lcc
+warns when
+.B \-p
+is unsupported.
+.TP
+.B \-pg
+Causes the compiler to produce counting code like
+.BR \-p ,
+but invokes a run-time recording mechanism that keeps more
+extensive statistics and produces a
+.B gmon.out
+file at normal termination.
+Also, a profiling library is searched, in lieu of the standard C library.
+An execution profile can then be generated with
+.IR gprof (1).
+.I lcc
+warns when
+.B \-pg
+is unsupported.
+.TP
+.BI \-t name
+.br
+.ns
+.TP
+.BI \-t
+Produce code to print the name of the function, an activation number,
+and the name and value of each argument at function entry.
+At function exit, produce code to print
+the name of the function, the activation number, and the return value.
+By default,
+.I printf
+does the printing; if
+.I name
+appears, it does.
+For null
+.I char*
+values, "(null)" is printed.
+.BI \-target
+.I name
+is accepted, but ignored.
+.TP
+.BI \-tempdir= dir
+Store temporary files in the directory
+.I dir/
+or
+.I
+dir\\.
+The default is usually
+.BR /tmp .
+.TP
+.BI \-W xarg
+pass argument
+.I arg
+to the program indicated by
+.IR x ;
+.I x
+can be one of
+.BR p ,
+.BR f ,
+.BR a ,
+or
+.BR l ,
+which refer, respectively, to the preprocessor, the compiler proper,
+the assembler, and the loader.
+.I arg
+is passed as given; if a
+.B \-
+is expected, it must be given explicitly.
+.BI \-Wo arg
+specifies a system-specific option,
+.IR arg .
+.PP
+Other arguments
+are taken to be either loader option arguments, or C-compatible
+object programs, typically produced by an earlier
+.I lcc
+run, or perhaps libraries of C-compatible routines.
+Duplicate object files are ignored.
+These programs, together with the results of any
+compilations specified, are loaded (in the order
+given) to produce an executable program with name
+.BR a.out
+(UNIX) or
+.BR a.exe
+(Windows).
+.PP
+.I lcc
+assigns the most frequently referenced scalar parameters and
+locals to registers whenever possible.
+For each block,
+explicit register declarations are obeyed first;
+remaining registers are assigned to automatic locals if they
+are `referenced' at least 3 times.
+Each top-level occurrence of an identifier
+counts as 1 reference. Occurrences in a loop,
+either of the then/else arms of an if statement, or a case
+in a switch statement each count, respectively, as 10, 1/2, or 1/10 references.
+These values are adjusted accordingly for nested control structures.
+.B \-Wf\-a
+causes
+.I lcc
+to read a
+.B prof.out
+file from a previous execution and to use the data therein
+to compute reference counts (see
+.BR \-b ).
+.PP
+.I lcc
+is a cross compiler;
+.BI \-Wf\-target= target/os
+causes
+.I lcc
+to generate code for
+.I target
+running the operating system denoted by
+.IR os .
+The supported
+.I target/os
+combinations may include
+.PP
+.RS

+.RE
+.PP
+For
+.BR \-Wf\-target=symbolic ,
+the option
+.B \-Wf-html
+causes the text rendition to be emitted as HTML.
+.B
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.PP
+.I lcc
+accepts the C programming language
+as described in the ANSI standard.
+If
+.I lcc
+is used with the GNU C preprocessor, the
+.B \-Wp\-trigraphs
+option is required to enable trigraph sequences.
+.PP
+Plain int bit fields are signed.
+Bit fields are aligned like unsigned integers but are otherwise laid out
+as by most standard C compilers.
+Some compilers, such as the GNU C compiler,
+may choose other, incompatible layouts.
+.PP
+Likewise, calling conventions are intended to be compatible with
+the host C compiler,
+except possibly for passing and returning structures.
+Specifically,
+.I lcc
+passes and returns structures like host ANSI C compilers
+on most targets, but some older host C compilers use different conventions.
+Consequently, calls to/from such functions compiled with
+older C compilers may not work.
+Calling a function that returns
+a structure without declaring it as such violates
+the ANSI standard and may cause a fault.
+.SH FILES
+.PP
+The file names listed below are
+.IR typical ,
+but vary among installations; installation-dependent variants
+can be displayed by running
+.I lcc
+with the
+.B \-v
+option.

+The ANSI standard headers conform to the specifications in
+the Standard, which may be too restrictive for some applications,
+but necessary for portability.
+Functions given in the ANSI headers may be missing from
+some local C libraries (e.g., wide-character functions)
+or may not correspond exactly to the local versions;
+for example, the ANSI standard
+stdio.h
+specifies that
+.IR printf ,
+.IR fprintf ,
+and
+.I sprintf
+return the number of characters written to the file or array,
+but some existing libraries don't implement this convention.
+.PP
+On the MIPS and SPARC, old-style variadic functions must use
+varargs.h
+from MIPS or Sun. New-style is recommended.
+.PP
+With
+.BR \-b ,
+files compiled
+.I without
+.B \-b
+may cause
+.I bprint
+to print erroneous call graphs.
+For example, if
+.B f
+calls
+.B g
+calls
+.B h
+and
+.B f
+and
+.B h
+are compiled with
+.BR \-b ,
+but
+.B g
+is not,
+.B bprint
+will report that
+.B f
+called
+.BR h .
+The total number of calls is correct, however.
