-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The only addition with respect to the 5th ACK distribution is the support
|
|
for Solaris 2 on SPARCs. It also contains many bug fixes.
|
|
|
|
Notes for the 5th ACK distribution:
|
|
|
|
It is not wise to mix files created by the previous version of the Kit
|
|
with files belonging to this version, although that might sometimes work.
|
|
Many problems with the previous distribution have been fixed.
|
|
The major additions are:
|
|
|
|
- an ANSI C compiler
|
|
- a LINT C program checker, both non-ansi and ansi
|
|
- an Intel 80386 back-end
|
|
- a SPARC code expander
|
|
- a source level debugger for Pascal, Modula-2, C, and ANSI C
|
|
- an Acorn Archimedes back-end
|
|
- code-expanders for VAX, Intel 80386 and Motorola M68020 processors,
|
|
and very fast Pascal, Modula-2, ANSI C, and C compilers constructed
|
|
using these code expanders
|
|
- a cc-compatible very fast C compiler for SUN-3 and VAX.
|
|
|
|
Also added, but not part of the Kit proper are
|
|
- flex: a lexical analyzer generator
|
|
- byacc: yacc-clone by UCB
|
|
- f2c: a Fortran to C compiler by AT&T.
|
