<h2><a NAME="intro">Introduction</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><a HREF="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/">lcc</a> is 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).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you're installing lcc on a UNIX system, read the remainder of this section and
|
|
continue with the next section. If you're installing lcc on a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows
|
|
95/98 system, and you intend only to <u>use</u> lcc, you can run the <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/packages/lcc/lcc41.exe">InstallShield executable</a>,
|
|
which installs the binaries and the documentation. If you want to <u>modify</u> lcc or <u>rebuild</u>
|
|
it from the source files, you need the <a
|
|
href="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/packages/lcc/lcc41.zip">complete distribution</a>, and
|
|
you should read the rest of the section, the following three sections, and the <a
|
|
HREF="#win32">Windows NT/95/98</a> section.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Extract the distribution into its own directory. All non-absolute paths below are
|
|
relative to this directory. The distribution holds the following subdirectories.</p>

<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
|
|
"installed" 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=\"/tmp\" -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>Here's <code>etc/solaris.c</code>:</p>

<p><code>LCCDIR</code> defaults to <code>"/usr/local/lib/lcc/"</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=\"/v/lib/lcc/\"' 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[] = { ".c;.C", ".i;.I", ".asm;.ASM;.s;.S", ".obj;.OBJ", ".exe", 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>"-Dsparc"</code> in the <code>cpp</code>
|
|
command above, are passed to the command as given.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The strings <code>"$1"</code>, <code>"$2"</code>, and <code>"$3"</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>"$3"</code> becomes <code>""</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 "<code>win32</code>", 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 ".o" 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>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 "<code>-target</code> <em>name</em>"
|
|
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 "<code>make all</code>". 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.,
|
|
"<code>make CC=gcc all</code>". If you're running on a DEC ALPHA, use "<code>make
|
|
CC='cc -std1' all</code>"; the <code>-std1</code> option is essential on the ALPHA.
|
|
If you're on a DEC 5000 running Ultrix 4.3, use "<code>make CC=c89 all</code>".</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
|
|
invoking <code>make</code>:</p>

the generated assembly language code in <code>BUILDDIR</code>/<em>target</em><code>/</code><em>os</em>,

<p>On some systems, there may be a few differences between the generated code and the

<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

|
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>
|

|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>should be identical to that from the previous <code>make test</code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The command "<code>make clean</code>" cleans up, but does not remove <code>rcc</code>,
|
|
etc., and "<code>make clobber</code>" 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 "symbolic" 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 "null" 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>set BUILDDIR=\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin
|
|
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>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>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

<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 "triple" test, which compiles <code>rcc</code> with itself and
|
|
verifies the results:<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt triple
|
|
...
|
|
\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\x86.c:
|
|
Assembling: C:/TEMP/lcc2001.asm
|
|
fc /b \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\1rcc.exe \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\2rcc.exe
|
|
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>copy %BUILDDIR%\lcc.exe \bin
|
|
1 file(s) copied.
|
|
|
|
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>copy %BUILDDIR%\bprint.exe \bin
|
|
1 file(s) copied.</pre>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Finally, clean up:<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>C:\dist\lcc\4.1>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.; "<code>nmake -f makefile.nt clobber</code>" 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>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>
