<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
This is the C compiler. It has eight passes, as follows:
<STRONG>Program</STRONG> <STRONG>Input</STRONG> <STRONG>Output</STRONG> <STRONG>Operation</STRONG> <STRONG>performed</STRONG>
lib/ncpp prog.c prog.i C preprocessor: #include, #define, #ifdef
lib/irrel prog.i prog.i Removal of unnecessary prototypes
lib/ncem prog.i prog.k Parsing and semantic analysis
lib/nopt prog.k prog.m Optimization of the intermediate code
lib/ncg prog.m prog.s Code generation
bin/as prog.s prog.o Assembly
lib/ld prog.o prog.out Linking
lib/cv prog.out a.out Conversion to MINIX a.out format
In the 68000 versions of MINIX , the preprocessor is not called since the
front-end contains the preprocessor. This increases compilation speed.
The main program, <EM>cc</EM> , forks appropriately to call the passes,
transmitting flags and arguments. The <STRONG>-v</STRONG> flag causes the passes to be
listed as they are called, and the <STRONG>-vn</STRONG> flag causes the passes to be
listed but not called.
The libraries should be made with <EM>aal</EM> (which is the same as <EM>ar</EM> on the
68000 versions), and consist of .o files. The internal order of files
inside the library is unimportant, but the order in which the libraries
are specified is.
When <STRONG>-T</STRONG> is used, the intermediate files end up in the directory
specified. Otherwise, <STRONG>/tmp</STRONG> is used. When available memory is very
limited (e.g., a 512K machine), it may be necessary to run <EM>chmem</EM> to
reduce the sizes of the compiler passes that do not fit, typically <EM>ncem</EM> .
On the other hand, if the compiler (or, in fact, almost any program)
begins acting strange, it is almost always due to its running out of
space, either stack space or scratch file space. The relevant pass can
be given more stack space using <EM>chmem</EM> . More space for scratch files can
be obtained by removing other files on the device.
If the compiler runs out of memory, it may be necessary to use the <STRONG>-m</STRONG>
flag. This causes <EM>irrel</EM> to be run, which removes unnecessary prototypes
and thus frees up extra table space within the compiler. Beware,
however, that running this pass may cause strictly conforming programs to
become non-conforming and vice versa, so you should only run this pass as
a last resort.
The compiler is derived from the ACK system (Tanenbaum et al.,
<EM>Communications</EM> <EM>of</EM> <EM>the</EM> <EM>ACM</EM>, Sept. 1983), not from the AT&amp;T portable C
compiler. It has been shoehorned onto the PC with some loss of
performance.
