Introduction
|
|
.PP
|
|
This document
|
|
describes the process of installing Amsterdam Compiler Kit.
|
|
It depends on your combination of hard- and software how
|
|
hard it will be to install the kit.
|
|
This description is intended for a PDP 11/44 running
|
|
.UX
|
|
Version 7.
|
|
Installation on other PDP 11's should be easy, as long
|
|
as they have separate instruction and data space.
|
|
Installation on machine's without this feature, like PDP 11/34,
|
|
PDP 11/60 requires extensive surgery on some programs and is
|
|
thought of as impossible.
|
|
See chapter 6 for installation on other systems.
|
|

|
|
Restoring tree
|
|
.PP
|
|
The process of installing Amsterdam Compiler Kit is quite simple.
|
|
It is important that the original Amsterdam Compiler Kit
|
|
distribution tree structure is restored.
|
|
Proceed as follows
|
|
.IP " -" 10
|
|
Create a directory, for example /usr/em, on a device
|
|
with at least 20000 blocks left.
|
|
.IP " -"
|
|
Change to that directory (cd ...); it will be the working directory.
|
|
.IP " -"
|
|
Extract all files from the distribution medium, for instance
|
|
magtape:
|
|
\fBtar x\fP.
|
|
.IP " -"
|
|
Keep a copy of the original distribution to be able to repeat the process
|
|
of installation in case of disasters.
|
|
This copy is also useful as a reference point for diff-listings.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The directories in the tree contain the following information:
|
|
.nr PD 1v
|
|
.IP "lib" 14
|
|
.br
|
|
almost all binaries and shell files used by commands and

|
|
in the C library from lang/cem/libcc.

.LP
|
|
All pathnames mentioned in the text of this document are relative to the
|
|
working directory, unless they start with '/'.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The person doing the installation needs permission to write in the
|
|
directories of the Amsterdam Compiler Kit distribution tree.
|
|
Preferably you should log in as sys (uid=3,gid=0).
|
|
.NH
|
|
Pathnames
|
|
.PP
|
|
Absolute pathnames are concentrated in "h/em_path.h".
|
|
Only the pascal runtime system and the utility \fIack\fP use
|
|
absolute pathnames to access files in the kit.
|
|
The tree is distributed with /usr/em as the working
|
|
directory.
|
|
The definition of EM_DIR in em_path.h should be altered to
|
|
specify the root
|
|
directory for the Compiler Kit distribution on your system.
|
|
Em_path.h also specifies which directory should be used for
|
|
temporary files.
|
|
Most programs from the kit do indeed use that directory
|
|
although some remain stubborn and use /tmp or /usr/tmp.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The shape of the tree should not be altered lightly because
|
|
most Makefiles and the
|
|
utility \fIack\fP know the shape of the ACK tree.
|
|
All pathnames in all Makefiles are relative, that is do not
|
|
have "/" as the first character.
|
|
The knowledge of the utility \fIack\fP about the shape of the tree is
|
|
concentrated in the files in the directory lib/ack.
|
|
.NH
|
|
Commands
|
|
.PP
|
|
The kit is distributed with all available commands in the bin
|
|
directory.
|
|
The commands distributed are:
|
|
.IP "\fIack\fP, \fIacc\fP, \fIapc\fP and their links"
|
|
.br
|
|
They are used to compile the Pascal, C, etc... programs.
|
|
.IP \fIarch\fP
|
|
.br
|
|
The archiver used for the EM- and universal assembler.
|
|
.IP "\fIem\fP and \fIeminform\fP"
|
|
.br
|
|
The EM interpretator for the PDP-11 and the program to unravel
|
|
its post-mortem information.
|
|
.LP
|
|
We currently make the kit available to our users by telling
|
|
them that they should include the bin directory of the kit in
|
|
their PATH shell variable.
|
|
The programs will still work when moved to a different
|
|
directory.
|
|
The copying should preferably be done with tar, since links are
|
|
heavily used.
|
|
Renaming of the programs linked to \fIack\fP will not always
|
|
produce the desired result.
|
|
This program uses its call name as an argument.
|
|
Any call name not being \fIcc\fP, \fIacc\fP, \fIpc\fP or \fIapc\fP will be
|
|
interpreted as the name of a 'machine description' and the
|
|
program will try to find a description file with that name.
|
|
All recompilations will only touch the utilities in the bin
|
|
directory, not your own copies.
|
|
.NH
|
|
Options
|
|
.PP
|
|
There is one important option in h/local.h.
|
|
The utility \fIack\fP uses a default machine name when called
|
|
as \fIacc\fP, \fIcc\fP, \fIapc\fP, \fIpc\fP or \fIack\fP.
|
|
The machine name used for default is determined by the
|
|
definition of ACKM in h/local.h.
|
|
The current definition is \fIpdp\fP.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The distribution is tailored to one specific opreating system per CPU type.
|
|
For some of these CPU's it is possible to tailor the distribution to another
|
|
operating system.
|
|
The steps to be taken are described in READ_ME (or README) files in the
|
|
subdirectories of the directory in EM_DIR/mach for that particular machine.
|
|
For example: The vax2 distribution is tailoerd to BSD4.1, but has #define's
|
|
for BSD4.1c and BSD4.2.
|
|
For the names and places of these define's look in EM_DIR/mach/vax2/cg and
|
|
EM_DIR/mach/vax2/libem.
|
|
.NH
|
|
Recompilation
|
|
.PP
|
|
The kit comes with binaries in the directories \fBbin\fP and
|
|
\fBlib\fP.
|
|
Some directories among mach/*/lib contain archives with object files,
|
|
notably mach/pdp/lib.
|
|
The binaries and object files are for a PDP 11/44 with floating
|
|
point running UNIX V7.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Almost all directories contain a "Makefile" or a shell command file called
|
|
"make".
|
|
Apart from commands applying to that specific directory these
|
|
files all recognize a few special commands.
|
|
When called with one of these they will apply the command to
|
|
their own directory and all subdirectories.
|
|
The special commands are:
|
|
.IP "install" 20
|
|
recompile and install all binaries and libraries.
|
|
.br
|
|
Some Makefiles allow errors to occur in the programs they call.
|
|
They ignore such errors and notify the user with the message
|
|
"~....... error code n: ignored".
|
|
Whenever such a message appears in the output you can ignore it
|
|
too.
|
|
.br
|
|
The installation of the PUBMAC macro package is not done
|
|
automatically from the higher level directory.
|
|
.IP "cmp"
|
|
recompile all binaries and libraries and compare them to the
|
|
ones already installed.
|
|
.IP pr
|
|
print the sources and documentation on the standard output.
|
|
.IP opr
|
|
make pr | opr
|
|
.br
|
|
Opr should be an off-line printer daemon.
|
|
On some systems it exists under another name e.g. lpr.
|
|
The easiest way to call such a spooler is using a shell script
|
|
with the name opr that calls lpr.
|
|
This script should be placed in /usr/bin or EM_DIR/bin or
|
|
one of the directories in your PATH.
|
|
.IP clean
|
|
remove all files not needed for day-to-day use,
|
|
that is binaries not in bin or lib, object files etc.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Example:
|
|
.nf
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
make install
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
.fi
|
|
given as command in the home directory will cause
|
|
recompilation of all programs in the kit.
|
|
.LP
|
|
Recompilation of the complete kit lasts about 9 hours an a PDP
|
|
11/44.
|
|
.NH 2
|
|
Recompilation on a different machine.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Installation on other systems will often require recompilation
|
|
of all programs.
|
|
The presence of a C compiler is essential for recompilation.
|
|
Except the Pascal compiler proper all programs are written in C.
|
|
Some modules are derived from \fIyacc\fP sources.
|
|
Retranslating these programs from that yacc source is not
|
|
necessary, although it might improve performance.
|
|
Some versions of \fIyacc\fP 'know' that the resulting C programs will
|
|
run on a 32-bit int machine.
|
|
C modules produced by such a \fIyacc\fP are not portable and
|
|
should not be used to (cross)compile programs for 16-bit machines.
|
|
We assume a version UNIX which, apart from the C-compiler,
|
|
contains most normal utilities, like ed, sed, grep, make, the
|
|
Bourne shell etc.
|
|
All Makefiles use the system C-compiler.
|
|
The existence of a backend for your system is of course essential
|
|
if you wish to produce executable files for that system.
|
|
When the backend exists it is also possible to boot the Pascal
|
|
Compiler,
|
|
that is written in Pascal itself.
|
|
The kit contains the compact code files for the 2/2 and 2/4
|
|
versions of the Pascal compiler.
|
|
The current version of this compiler can only be used on machines
|
|
with a 16-bit word size and 16- or 32-bit pointers.
|
|
The Makefile automatically tries to boot the Pascal compiler
|
|
from one of these compact code files, if the compiler proves
|
|
unable to compile itself.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The native assemblers and loaders are used on PDP-11 and VAX.
|
|
The description files in lib/ack for other systems use our
|
|
universal assembler.
|
|
The load file produced by this assembler is not directly
|
|
usable in any system known to us,
|
|
but has to be converted before it can be put to use.
|
|
The \fIdl\fP programs present for some machines unravel
|
|
these load files and transmit commands to load memory
|
|
to a microprocessor over a serial line.
|
|
The PDP-11 version of our universal assembler is supplied
|
|
with a conversion program.
|
|
The file man/a.out.5 contains a description of the format of
|
|
the universal assembler load file,
|
|
it might be useful to those who wish or need to write their
|
|
own conversion programs.
|
|
.br
|
|
Berkeley UNIX for the VAX'en has (at least) three different
|
|
versions, BSD4.1a, BSD4.1c and BSD4.2. The READ_ME files in the
|
|
directories mach/vax2/cg, mach/vax2/libem, mach/vax4/cg and
|
|
mach/vax4/libem tell you how to adapt the vax2 and vax4 backend
|
|
to these versions.
|
|
.NH 2
|
|
Recompiling libraries
|
|
.PP
|
|
The kit contains sources for part II and III of the C-library, except
|
|
the math functions, they are grabbed from our V7 system and sometimes
|
|
altered in a EM dependent way or replaced altogether when the original
|
|
was in assembly.
|
|
These files can be used to make libraries for the Ack C-compiler.

The recompilation process uses a few include files.
|
|
The include directory in the EM home directory contains a few more
|
|
or less system independent include files.
|
|
The system dependent include files are fetched from /usr/include
|
|
on the system you use to recompile.
|
|
This may lead to several problems.
|
|
Sometimes the system differs so much from V7 that certain manifest constants
|
|
do not exist any more.
|
|
At other times these include files were written for a compiler without
|
|
a restriction on name length.
|
|
In that case - I've seen it happen - people tend to use differing
|
|
identifiers that are identical in the first eight characters.
|
|
All these problems you have to solve yourself,
|
|
the libraries are only included as an extra and too much system
|
|
dependent to give any guarantees.

Fixes to the UNIX V7 system
|
|
.PP
|
|
UNIX System V7 has a few bugs that prevent a part of or the whole kit
|
|
from working properly.
|
|
To be honest, we do not know which of the following changes are
|
|
essential to the functioning of our kit.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The file "doc/v7bugs.doc" gives for each of the following bugs
|
|
a small test program and a diff listing of the source files that have to be
|
|
modified.
|
|
.IP 1
|
|
Bug in the C optimizer for unsigned comparison
|
|
.nr PD 0
|
|
.IP 2
|
|
The loader 'ld' fails for large data and text portions
|
|
.IP 3
|
|
Floating point registers are not saved if more memory is needed.
|
|
.IP 4
|
|
Floating point registers are not copied to child in fork().
|
|
.nr PD 1v

Use the test programs to see if the errors are present in your system
|
|
and to check if the modifications are effective.

Testing
|
|
.PP
|
|
Test sets are available in Pascal, C and EM assembly.
|
|
.IP em 8
|
|
.br
|
|
The directory emtest contains a few EM test programs.
|
|
The EM assembly files in these tests must be transformed into
|
|
load files, thereby avoiding use of the EM optimizer.
|
|
These tests use the LIN and NOP instructions to mark the passing of each
|
|
test.
|
|
The NOP instruction prints the current line number during the
|
|
test phase.
|
|
Each test notifies its correctness by calling LIN with a unique
|
|
number followed by a NOP which prints this line number.
|
|
The test finishes normally with 0 as the last number printed
|
|
In all other cases a bug showed its
|
|
existence.
|
|
.IP Pascal
|
|
.br
|
|
The directory lang/pc/test contains a few pascal test programs.
|
|
All these programs print the number of errors found and a
|
|
identification of these errors.
|
|
.IP C
|
|
.br
|
|
The sub-directories in lang/cem/ctest contain C test programs.
|
|
The idea behind these tests is:
|
|
when you have a program called xx.c, compile it into xx.cem.
|
|
Run it with standard output to xx.cem.r, compare this file to
|
|
xx.cem.g, a file containing the 'ideal' output.
|
|
Any differences will point to implementation differences or
|
|
bugs.
|
|
Giving the command "run gen" or plain "run" starts this
|
|
process.
|
|
The differences will be presented on standard output.
|
|
The contents of the result files depend on the wordsize,
|
|
the xx.cem.g files on the distribution are intended for a
|
|
16-bit machine.
