Introduction

+ +

lcc is the ANSI C compiler +described in our book A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation +(Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1).

+ +

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 use lcc, you can run the InstallShield executable, +which installs the binaries and the documentation. If you want to modify lcc or rebuild +it from the source files, you need the complete distribution, and +you should read the rest of the section, the following three sections, and the Windows NT/95/98 section.

+ +

Extract the distribution into its own directory. All non-absolute paths below are +relative to this directory. The distribution holds the following subdirectories.

+ +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

tst test suite
alpha/*/tst ALPHA test outputs
mips/*/tst MIPS test outputs
sparc/*/tst SPARC test outputs
x86/*/tst X86 test outputs
+

+ +

doc/install.html is the HTML file for this document. doc/4.html +describes the internal differences between lcc 3.x and 4.1.

+ +

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. You will need an existing ANSI/ISO C +compiler to build and install lcc.

+ +

Installation on UNIX

+ +

The compilation components (the preprocessor, include files, and compiler proper, etc.) +are installed in a single build directory. 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,

+ +

% ln -s /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris /usr/local/lib/lcc

+ +

points /usr/local/lib/lcc to a build directory for lcc version 4.1 on the +SPARC under Solaris. Links into /usr/local/lib are created for the programs lcc +and bprint. 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, lcc, can be used unmodified.

+ +

Installation on a UNIX system involves the following steps. Below, the build directory +is referred to as BUILDDIR. + +

Create the build directory, using a version- and platform-specific naming convention as + suggested above, and record the name of this directory in the BUILDDIR + environment variable:
+
```
% setenv BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris
+% mkdir -p $BUILDDIR
```
+
+
Here and below, commands assume the C shell. Also, you'll need a version of mkdir + that supports the -p option, which creates intermediate directories as + necessary.
+
Copy the man pages to the repository for local man pages, e.g.,
+
```
% cp doc/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1
```
+
+
Some users copy the man pages to the build directory and create the appropriate + symbolic links, e.g.,
+
+
```
% cp doc/*.1 $BUILDDIR
+% ln -s $BUILDDIR/*.1 /usr/local/man/man1
```
+
+
Platform-specific include files are in directories named include/target/os. + Create the include directory in the build directory, and copy the include hierarchy for + your platform to this directory, e.g.,
+
```
% mkdir $BUILDDIR/include
+% cp -p -R include/sparc/solaris/* $BUILDDIR/include
```
+
+
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 /proj/pkg/lcc, so the included files are + "installed" by creating one symbolic link:
+
+
```
% ln -s /proj/pkg/lcc/4.1/include/sparc/solaris $BUILDDIR/include
```
+
+
If you're installing lcc on Linux, you must also plant a symbolic link named gcc + to gcc's library directory, because lcc uses gcc's C preprocessor and most of gcc's header + files:
+
+
```
% ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.2 $BUILDDIR/gcc
```
+
+
The library directory shown above may be different on your Linux machine; to determine + the correct directory, browse /usr/lib/gcc-lib, or execute
+
+
```
% cc -v tst/8q.c
```
+
+
and examine the diagnostic output. Make sure that $BUILDDIR/gcc/cpp and $BUILDDIR/gcc/include + point to, respectively, gcc's C preprocessor and header files. On Linux, lcc looks for + include files in $BUILDDIR/include, $BUILDDIR/gcc/include, and /usr/include, + in that order; see Building the Driver and etc/linux.c for details.
+
The makefile includes the file named by the CUSTOM + macro; the default is custom.mk, and an empty custom.mk is + included in the distribution. If desired, prepare a site-specification customization file + and define CUSTOM to the path of that file when invoking make in steps 5 and + 6, e.g.,
+
```
make CUSTOM=/users/drh/solaris.mk
```
+
+
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.
+
Build the host-specific driver, creating a custom host-specific part, if necessary. See Building the Driver.
Build the preprocessor, compiler proper, library, and other accessories. See Building the Compiler.
Plant symbolic links to the build directory and to the installed programs, e.g.,
+
```
% ln -s $BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/lcc
+% ln -s /usr/local/lib/{lcc,bprint} /usr/local/bin
```
+
+
Some users copy bprint and lcc into /usr/local/bin + instead of creating symbolic links. The advantange of creating the links for lcc + and bprint as shown is that, once established, they point indirectly to + whatever /usr/local/lib/lcc points to; installing a new version of lcc, say, + 4.2, can be done by changing /usr/local/lib/lcc to point to the 4.2 build + directory.
+

+ +

Building the Driver

+ +

The preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader are invoked by a driver program, lcc, +which is similar to cc on most systems. It's described in the man page doc/lcc.1. +The driver is built by combining the host-independent part, etc/lcc.c, +with a small host-specific part. Distributed host-specific parts are named etc/os.c, +where os is the name of the operating system for the host on which lcc +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 whatever.c, and edit it +as described below. You should not have to edit etc/lcc.c.

+ +

We'll use etc/solaris.c 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 BUILDDIR set correctly, +and build the driver with a make command, e.g.,

+ +

% 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

+ +

The symbolic name HOSTFILE specifies the path to the host-specific part, +either one in the distribution or whatever.c. Some versions of make +may require the -e option in order to read the environment.

+ +

Here's etc/solaris.c:

+ +

+		include[0] = concat("-I", concat(&arg[8], "/include"));
+		ld[12] = concat("-L", &arg[8]);
+		com[0] = concat(&arg[8], "/rcc");

+		;
+	else if (strncmp(arg, "-ld=", 4) == 0)
+		ld[0] = &arg[4];
+	else
+		return 0;
+	return 1;
+}

+ +

LCCDIR defaults to "/usr/local/lib/lcc/" unless +it's defined by a -D option as part of CFLAGS in the make +command, e.g.,

+ +

% make HOSTFILE=etc/solaris.c CFLAGS='-DLCCDIR=\"/v/lib/lcc/\"' lcc

+ +

Note the trailing slash; SUNDIR is provided so you can use etc/solaris.c +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 etc/gcc-solaris.c.

+ +

Most of the host-specific code is platform-specific data and templates for the commands +that invoke the preprocessor, compiler, assembler, and loader. The suffixes +array lists the file name suffixes for C source files, preprocessed source files, assembly +language source files, object files, and executable files. suffixes must be +terminated with a null pointer, as shown above. The initialization of suffixes +in etc/solaris.c are the typical ones for UNIX +systems. Each element of suffixes is actually a list of suffixes, separated +by semicolons; etc/win32.c holds an example:

+ +

char *suffixes[] = { ".c;.C", ".i;.I", ".asm;.ASM;.s;.S", ".obj;.OBJ", ".exe", 0 };

+ +

When a list is given, the first suffix is used whenever lcc needs to generate a file +name. For example, with etc/win32.c, lcc emits +the generated assembly code into .asm files.

+ +

The inputs array holds a null-terminated string of directories separated +by colons or semicolons. These are used as the default value of LCCINPUTS, if +the environment variable LCCINPUTS is not set; see the man +page.

+ +

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.

+ +

The cpp array gives the command for running lcc's preprocessor, cpp. +Literal arguments specified in templates, e.g., "-Dsparc" in the cpp +command above, are passed to the command as given.

+ +

The strings "$1", "$2", and "$3" +in templates are placeholders for lists of arguments that are substituted in a +copy of the template before the command is executed. $1 is replaced by the options +specified by the user; for the preprocessor, this list always contains at least -D__LCC__. +$2 is replaced by the input files, and $3 is replaced +by the output file.

+ +

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, "$3" becomes "", which is removed from +the final argument list.

+ +

The include array is a list of -I 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 UNIX or Windows +installation instructions. The driver adds these options to cpp's arguments +when it invokes the preprocessor, except when -N is specified.

+ +

com gives the command for invoking the compiler. This template can appear +as shown above in a custom host-specific part, but the option -target=sparc/solaris +should be edited to the target/os for your platform. If com[1] +includes the string "win32", the driver assumes it's running on +Windows. lcc can generate code for all of the target/os +combinations listed in the file src/bind.c. The -target option +specifies the default combination. The driver's -Wf option can be used to +specify other combinations; the man page elaborates.

+ +

as 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.

+ +

ld gives the command for invoking the loader. For the other commands, the +list $2 contains a single file; for ld, $2 contains +all ".o" files and libraries, and $3 is a.out, unless +the -o option is specified. As suggested in the code above, ld +must also specify the appropriate startup code and default libraries, including the lcc +library, liblcc.a.

+ +

The option function is described below; the minimal option +function just returns 0.

+ +

You can test lcc with the options -v -v to display the +commands that would be executed, e.g.,

+ +

% $BUILDDIR/lcc -v -v foo.c baz.c mylib.a -lX11
+/usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/lcc $ Id: solaris.c,v 1.10 1998/09/14 20:36:33 drh Exp $

+rm /tmp/lcc266293.o /tmp/lcc266290.i /tmp/lcc266291.s /tmp/lcc266292.o

+ +

As the output shows, lcc places temporary files in /tmp; if +any of the environment variables TMP, TEMP, and TMPDIR +are set, they override this default (in the order shown) as does the -tempdir=dir +option. The default can be changed by defining TEMPDIR in CFLAGS +when building the driver.

+ +

The option function is called for the options -Wo, -g, +-p, -pg, and -b because these compiler options +might also affect the loader's arguments. For these options, the driver calls option(arg) +to give the host-specific code an opportunity to edit the ld command, if +necessary. option can change ld, if necessary, and return 1 to +announce its acceptance of the option. If the option is unsupported, option +should return 0.

+ +

For example, in response to -g, the option function shown +above accepts the option but does nothing else, because the ld and as +commands don't need to be modified on the SPARC. -g will also be added to the +compiler's options by the host-independent part of the driver. The -p causes option +to change the name of the startup code and changed the list of libraries. The -b +option turns on lcc's per-expression profiling, the code for which is in liblcc.a, +so option need no nothing.

+ +

On SPARCs, the driver also recognizes -Bstatic and -Bdynamic +as linker options. The driver recognizes but ignores "-target name" +option.

+ +

The option -Woarg causes the driver to pass arg to option. +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 -Wo-lccdir=dir option, which +causes lcc's compilation components to be found in dir, because this option is +used by the test scripts, and because the driver simulates a -Wo-lccdir +option with the value of the environment variable LCCDIR, if it's defined. +The code above rebuilds the paths to the include files, preprocessor, compiler, and +library by calling concat, which is defined in etc/lcc.c.

+ +

Building the Compiler and Accessories

+ +

To build the rest of compilation components make sure BUILDDIR is set +appropriately and type "make all". This command builds librcc.a +(the compiler's private library), rcc (the compiler proper), lburg +(the code-generator generator), cpp (the preprocessor), liblcc.a +(the runtime library), and bprint (the profile printer), all in BUILDDIR. +There may be warnings, but there should be no errors. If you're using an ANSI/ISO compiler +other than cc, specify its name with the CC= option, e.g., +"make CC=gcc all". If you're running on a DEC ALPHA, use "make +CC='cc -std1' all"; the -std1 option is essential on the ALPHA. +If you're on a DEC 5000 running Ultrix 4.3, use "make CC=c89 all".

+ +

Once rcc is built with the host C compiler, run the test suite to verify +that rcc is working correctly. If any of the steps below fail, contact us +(see Reporting Bugs). The commands in the makefile run the +shell script src/run.sh on each C program in the test suite, tst/*.c. +It uses the driver, $BUILDDIR/lcc, so you must have the driver in the build +directory before testing rcc. The target/os +combination is read from the variable TARGET, which must be specified when +invoking make:

+ +

% make TARGET=sparc/solaris test
+mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/lcc-4.1/sparc-solaris/sparc/solaris/tst

Each line in the output above is of the form

+ +

+
$BUILDDIR/rcc -target=target/os$BUILDDIR/target/os/X.s:
+

+ +

where X is the base name of the C program X.c in the +test suite. This output identifies the compiler and the target, e.g., "$BUILDDIR/rcc +is generating code for a sparc running the solaris operating +system."

+ +

For each program in the test suite, src/run.sh compiles the program, drops +the generated assembly language code in BUILDDIR/target/os, +and uses diff to compare the generated assembly code with the expected code +(the code expected for tst/8q.c on the SPARC under Solaris is in sparc/solaris/tst/8q.sbk, +etc.). If there are differences, the script executes the generated code with the input +given in tst (the input for tst/8q.c is in tst/8q.0, +etc.) and compares the output with the expected output (the expected output from tst/8q.c +on the SPARC under Solaris is in sparc/solaris/tst/8q.1bk, etc.). The script +also compares the diagnostics from the compiler with the expected diagnostics.

+ +

On some systems, there may be a few differences between the generated code and the +expected code. These differences occur because the expected code is generated by cross +compilation and the least significant bits of some floating-point constants differ from +those bits in constants generated on your system. On Linux, there may be differences +because of differences in the header files between our system and yours. There should be +no differences in the output from executing the test programs.

+ +

Next, run the "triple test", which builds rcc using itself:

+ +

This command builds rcc twice; once using the rcc built by cc +and again using the rcc built by lcc. 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; contact us.

+ +

The final version of rcc should also pass the test suite; that is, the +output from

+ +

% make TARGET=sparc/solaris test

+ +

should be identical to that from the previous make test.

+ +

The command "make clean" cleans up, but does not remove rcc, +etc., and "make clobber" cleans up and removes lcc, rcc, +and the other accessories. Test directories under BUILDDIR are not +removed; you'll need to remove these by hand, e.g.,

+ +

% rm -fr $BUILDDIR/sparc

+ +

The code generators for the other targets can be tested by specifying the desired target/os +and setting an environment variable that controls what src/run.sh does. For +example, to test the MIPS code generator, type

+ +

% setenv REMOTEHOST noexecute
+% make TARGET=mips/irix test

+ +

As above, src/run.sh compares the MIPS code generated with what's +expected. There should be no differences. Setting REMOTEHOST to noexecute +suppresses the assembly and execution of the generated code. If you set REMOTEHOST +to the name of a MIPS machine to which you can rlogin, src/run.sh +will rcp the generated code to that machine and execute it there, if +necessary. See src/run.sh for the details.

+ +

You can use lcc as a cross compiler. The options -S and -Wf-target=target/os +generate assembly code for the specified target, which is any of those listed in the file src/bind.c. +For example,

+ +

% lcc -Wf-target=mips/irix -S tst/8q.c

+ +

generates MIPS code for tst/8q.c in 8q.s.

+ +

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 -Wf-target=symbolic. +For example,

+ +

% lcc -Wf-target=symbolic -S tst/8q.c

+ +

generates symbolic output for tst/8q.c in 8q.s. Adding -Wf-html +causes the symbolic target to emit HTML instead of plain text. Finally, the option -Wf-target=null +specifies the "null" target for which lcc emits nothing and thus only checks the +syntax and semantics of its input files.

+ +

Installation on Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98

+ +

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 upgrade to 6.11d, +because earlier 6.11 releases do not generate correct COFF object files.

+ +

Building the distribution components from the ground up requires Microsoft's Visual +C/C++ 5.0 compiler, Microsoft's make, nmake, and the standard Windows command +interpreter. makefile.nt is written to use only nmake. +As on UNIX systems, the compilation components are installed in a single build +directory, and the top-level programs, lcc.exe and bprint.exe, +are installed in a directory on the PATH. If the conventions used below are followed, the +Windows-specific parts of the driver program, lcc.exe, can be used +unmodified.

+ +

Building from the source distribution on a Windows system involves the following steps. +Below, the build directory is referred to as BUILDDIR, and the distribution +is in \dist\lcc\4.1. + +

Create the build directory, perhaps using a version- and platform-specific naming + convention as suggested in Installation on UNIX, and record + the name of this directory in the BUILDDIR environment variable:
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>set BUILDDIR=\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin
+C:\dist\lcc\4.1>mkdir %BUILDDIR%
```
+
+
The default build, or installation, directory is \Program Files\lcc\4.1\bin, + but the nmake commands require that you use the corresponding 8.3 file name, progra~1, + instead of Program Files.
+
etc\win32.c is the Windows-specific part of + the driver. It assumes that environment variable include gives the locations + of the VC header files and that the linker (link.exe) and the assembler (ml.exe) + are on the PATH. It also assumes that the macro LCCDIR gives the build + directory. If necessary, revise a copy of etc\win32.c + to reflect the conventions on your computer (see Building the Driver), + then build the driver, specifying the default temporary directory, if necessary:
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt TEMPDIR=\\temp HOSTFILE=etc/win32.c lcc
+...
+        cl -nologo -Zi -MLd -Fd\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\ -c -DTEMPDIR=\"\\temp\" -Fo\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\lcc.obj etc/lcc.c
+lcc.c
+        cl -nologo -Zi -MLd -Fd\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\ -c -Fo\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\host.obj etc/win32.c
+win32.c
+        cl -nologo -Zi -MLd -Fd\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\ -Fe\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\lcc.exe \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\lcc.obj \progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\host.obj
```
+
+
If you make a copy of etc\win32.c, specify the path of the copy as the + value of HOSTFILE. For example, if you copy etc\win32.c to BUILDDIR + and edit it, use the command
+
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt TEMPDIR=\\temp HOSTFILE=%BUILDDIR%\win32.c lcc
```
+
+
Build the preprocessor, compiler proper, library, and other accessories (see Building the Compiler):
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt all
```
+
+
This command uses the VC command-line tools cl and lib to + build bprint.exe, cpp.exe, lburg.exe, liblcc.lib, + librcc.lib, and rcc.exe, all in BUILDDIR. There may + be some warnings, but there should be no warnings.
+
Create a test directory and run the test suite:
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>mkdir %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst
+C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt test
```
+
+
This command compiles each program in tst, 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 fc). For + example, when the nmake command compiles tst\8q.c, + it leaves the generated assembly code and diagnostic output in %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.s + and %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.2, and it compares them with the expected + results in x86\win32\tst\8q.sbk. It builds the executable program in %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.exe, + runs it, and redirects the output to %BUILDDIR%\x86\win32\tst\8q.1, which it + compares with x86\win32\tst\8q.1bk. The output from this step is voluminous, + but there should be no differences and no errors.
+
Run the "triple" test, which compiles rcc with itself and + verifies the results:
+
```
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
```
+
+
This command builds rcc twice; once using the rcc built by VC + and again using the rcc built by lcc. The resulting binaries are + compared using fc. 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; contact us.
+

Copy lcc.exe and bprint.exe to a directory on your PATH, e.g.,

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.

Finally, clean up:
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>nmake -f makefile.nt clean
```
+
+
This command removes the derived files in BUILDDIR, but does not remove rcc.exe, + etc.; "nmake -f makefile.nt clobber" cleans up and removes all + executables and libraries. Test directories under BUILDDIR are not + removed; you'll need to remove these by hand, e.g.,
+
+
```
C:\dist\lcc\4.1>rmdir %BUILDDIR%\x86 /s
+\progra~1\lcc\4.1\bin\x86, Are you sure (Y/N)? y
```
+
+

Reporting Bugs

+ +

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 A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation. + +

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.
Preprocess the source file and capture the preprocessor output. Discard the original + code.
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.
Confirm that the source file displays the error with the distributed 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.
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 The C Programming Language, or the + appropriate section in C: A Reference Manual, 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.
Confirm that your error hasn't been fixed already. The latest version of lcc is always + available for anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.princeton.edu in pub/lcc. A README file there gives + acquistion details, and the LOG 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.
Send your program by electronic mail to lcc-bugs@cs.princeton.edu. Please + send only valid C programs; put all remarks in C comments so that we can process reports + semiautomatically.
