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;

+.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. +.PP +.RS +.ta \w'$LCCDIR/liblcc.{a,lib}XX'u +.nf +file.{c,C} input file +file.{s,asm} assembly-language file +file.{o,obj} object file +a.{out,exe} loaded output +/tmp/lcc* temporary files +$LCCDIR/cpp preprocessor +$LCCDIR/rcc compiler +$LCCDIR/liblcc.{a,lib} \fIlcc\fP-specific library +/lib/crt0.o runtime startup (UNIX) +/lib/[gm]crt0.o startups for profiling (UNIX) +/lib/libc.a standard library (UNIX) +$LCCDIR/include ANSI standard headers +/usr/local/include local headers +/usr/include traditional headers +prof.out file produced for \fIbprint\fR(1) +mon.out file produced for \fIprof\fR(1) +gmon.out file produced for \fIgprof\fR(1) +.fi +.RE +.PP +.I lcc +predefines the macro +.B __LCC__ +on all systems. +It may also predefine some installation-dependent symbols; option +.B \-v +exposes them. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +C.
