| 1 This is the lwcc C compiler for lwtools. It was written using various other | |
| 2 C compilers as guides. Special thanks to the developers of the PCC compiler. | |
| 3 While none of the actual code from PCC was actually used, much of compiler | |
| 4 itself served as a template for creating lwcc. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 This directory is arranged as follows: | |
| 7 | |
| 8 driver/ | |
| 9 | |
| 10 This contains the source for the front end driver program which will be | |
| 11 called "lwcc" and is the public face of the compiler. The lwcc program | |
| 12 itself provides various options that are largely compatible with unix C | |
| 13 compilers like gcc. It should be noted that the internal interface between | |
| 14 the lwcc driver and its back end programs (the preprocessor and compiler | |
| 15 proper) is unspecified and subject to change without notice. The assembler | |
| 16 and linker (lwasm, lwlink) do have defined public interfaces are are not | |
| 17 likely to change substantially. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 | |
| 20 liblwcc/ | |
| 21 | |
| 22 This contains any runtime libraries the compiler needs to support its | |
| 23 output. This is usually assembly routines to support complex operations not | |
| 24 directly supported by the CPU instruction set. | |
