.SH NAME
cemcom \- C to EM compiler
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBcemcom\fP [\fIoptions\fP] \fIsource \fP[\fIdestination \fP[\fInamelist\fP]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fICemcom\fP is a compiler that translates C programs
into EM compact code.
The input is taken from \fIsource\fP, while the
EM code is written on \fIdestination\fP.
If either of these two names is "\fB-\fP", standard input or output respectively
is taken.
The file \fInamelist\fP, if supplied, will contain a list of the names
of external, so-called \fBcommon\fP, variables.
When the preprocessor is invoked to run stand-alone, \fIdestination\fP
needs not be specified.
.br
\fIOptions\fP is a, possibly empty, sequence of the following combinations:
.IP \fB\-C\fR
list the sequence of input tokens while maintaining the comments.
.IP \fB\-D\fIname\fR=\fItext\fR
.br
define \fIname\fR as a macro with \fItext\fR as its replacement text.
.IP \fB\-D\fIname\fR
.br
the same as \fB\-D\fIname\fR=1.
.IP \fB\-E\fR
list the sequence of input tokens and delete any comments.
Control lines of the form
.RS
.RS
#\fBline\fR <\fIinteger\fR> "\fIfilename\fR"
.RE
are generated whenever needed.
.RE
.IP \fB\-I\fIdirname\fR
.br
insert \fIdirname\fR in the list of include directories.
.IP \fB\-M\fP\fIn\fP
set maximum identifier length to \fIn\fP.
.IP \fB\-n\fR
do not generate EM register messages.
The user-declared variables are not stored into registers on the target
machine.
.IP \fB\-L\fR
don't generate the EM \fBfil\fR and \fBlin\fR instructions 
that usually are generated to enable
an interpreter to keep track of the current location in the source code.
.IP \fB\-P\fR
like \fB\-E\fR but without #\fBline\fR control lines.
.IP \fB\-R\fR
interpret the input as restricted C (according to the language as 
described in \fIThe C programming language\fR by Kernighan and Ritchie.)
.IP \fB\-U\fIname\fR
.br
get rid of the compiler-predefined macro \fIname\fR.
.IP \fB\-V\fIcm\fR.\fIn\fR,\ \fB\-V\fIcm\fR.\fIncm\fR.\fIn\fR\ ...
.br
set the size and alignment requirements.
The letter \fIc\fR indicates the simple type, which is one of
\fBs\fR(short), \fBi\fR(int), \fBl\fR(long), \fBf\fR(float), \fBd\fR(double) or
\fBp\fR(pointer).
The \fIm\fR parameter can be used to specify the length of the type (in bytes)
and the \fIn\fR parameter for the alignment of that type.
Absence of \fIm\fR or \fIn\fR causes the default value to be retained.
To specify that the bitfields should be right adjusted instead of the
default left adjustment, specify \fBr\fR as \fIc\fR parameter.
.IP \fB\-w\fR
suppress warning messages
.IP \fB\-\-\fItext\fR
.br
where \fItext\fR can be either of the above or
a debug flag of the compiler (which is not useful for the common user.)
This feature can be used in various shell scripts and surrounding programs
to force a certain option to be handed over to \fBcemcom\fR.
