Supported C language subset (read joint example 'otccex.c' to have
|
||||
an introduction to OTCC dialect):
|
||||
|
||||
- Expressions:
|
||||
|
||||
* binary operators, by decreasing priority order: '*' '/' '%',
|
||||
'+' '-', '>>' '<<', '<' '<=' '>' '>=', '==' '!=', '&',
|
||||
'^', '|', '=', '&&', '||'.
|
||||
|
||||
* '&&' and '||' have the same semantics as C : left to right
|
||||
evaluation and early exit.
|
||||
|
||||
* Parenthesis are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unary operators: '&', '*' (pointer indirection), '-'
|
||||
(negation), '+', '!', '~', post fixed '++' and '--'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Pointer indirection ('*') only works with explicit cast to
|
||||
'char *', 'int *' or 'int (*)()' (function pointer).
|
||||
|
||||
* '++', '--', and unary '&' can only be used with variable
|
||||
lvalue (left value).
|
||||
|
||||
* '=' can only be used with variable or '*' (pointer
|
||||
indirection) lvalue.
|
||||
|
||||
* Function calls are supported with standard i386 calling
|
||||
convention. Function pointers are supported with explicit
|
||||
cast. Functions can be used before being declared.
|
||||
|
||||
- Types: only signed integer ('int') variables and functions can
|
||||
be declared. Variables cannot be initialized in
|
||||
declarations. Only old K&R function declarations are parsed
|
||||
(implicit integer return value and no types on arguments).
|
||||
|
||||
- Any function or variable from the libc can be used because OTCC
|
||||
uses the libc dynamic linker to resolve undefined symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
- Instructions: blocks ('{' '}') are supported as in C. 'if' and
|
||||
'else' can be used for tests. The 'while' and 'for' C constructs
|
||||
are supported for loops. 'break' can be used to exit
|
||||
loops. 'return' is used for the return value of a function.
|
||||
|
||||
- Identifiers are parsed the same way as C. Local variables are
|
||||
handled, but there is no local name space (not a problem if
|
||||
different names are used for local and global variables).
|
||||
|
||||
- Numbers can be entered in decimal, hexadecimal ('0x' or '0X'
|
||||
prefix), or octal ('0' prefix).
|
||||
|
||||
- '#define' is supported without function like arguments. No macro
|
||||
recursion is tolerated. Other preprocessor directives are
|
||||
ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
- C Strings and C character constants are supported. Only '\n',
|
||||
'\"', '\'' and '\\' escapes are recognized.
|
||||
|
||||
- C Comments can be used (but no C++ comments).
|
||||
|
||||
- No error is displayed if an incorrect program is given.
|
||||
|
||||
- Memory: the code, data, and symbol sizes are limited to 100KB
|
||||
(it can be changed in the source code).
