<h2><a NAME="intro">Introduction</a></h2>

<p>Version 4.1 is the latest release of <a
HREF="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/">lcc</a>, the ANSI C compiler described in
our book <cite>A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation</cite>
(Addison-Wesley, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1). This document summarizes the differences
between the 4.1 code-generation interface and the 3.x interface described in Chap. 5 of <cite>A
Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>

<p>Previous versions of lcc supported only three sizes of integers, two sizes of floats,
and insisted that pointers fit in unsigned integers (see Sec. 5.1 of <cite>A Retargetable
C Compiler</cite>). These assumptions simplified the compiler, and were suitable for
32-bit architectures. But on 64-bit architectures, such as the DEC ALPHA, it's natural to
have four sizes of integers and perhaps three sizes of floats, and on 16-bit
architectures, 32-bit pointers don't fit in unsigned integers. Also, the 3.x constaints
limited the use of lcc's back ends for other languages, such as Java.</p>

<p>Version 4.x removes all of these restrictions: It supports any number of sizes for
integers and floats, and the size of pointers need not be related to the size of any of
the integer types. The major changes in the code-generation interface are: 

<ul>
  <li>The number of type suffixes has been reduced to 6.</li>
  <li>Dag operators are composed of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size.</li>
  <li>Unsigned variants of several operators have been added.</li>
  <li>Several interface functions have new signatures.</li>
</ul>

<p>In addition, version 4.x is written in ANSI C and uses the standard I/O library and
other standard C functions.</p>

<p>The sections below parallel the subsections of Chap. 5 of <cite>A Retargetable C
Compiler</cite> and summarize the differences between the 3.x and 4.x code-generation
interface. Unaffected subsections are omitted. Page citations refer to pages in <cite>A
Retargetable C Compiler</cite>.</p>

<h2><a NAME="metrics">5.1 Type Metrics</a></h2>

<p>There are now 10 metrics in an interface record:</p>

<pre>Metrics charmetric;
Metrics shortmetric;
Metrics intmetric;
Metrics longmetric;
Metrics longlongmetric;
Metrics floatmetric;
Metrics doublemetric;
Metrics longdoublemetric;
Metrics ptrmetric;
Metrics structmetric;</pre>

<p>Each of these specifies the size and alignment of the corresponding type. <code>ptrmetric</code>
describes all pointers.</p>

<h2><a NAME="symbols">5.3 Symbols</a></h2>

<p>The actual value of a constant is stored in the <code>u.c.v</code> field of a symbol,
which holds a <code>Value</code>:</p>

<pre>typedef union value {
	long i;
	unsigned long u;
	long double d;
	void *p;
	void (*g)(void);
} Value;</pre>

<p>The value is stored in the appropriate field according to its type, which is given by
the symbol's <code>type</code> field.</p>

<h2><a NAME="operators">5.5 Dag Operators</a></h2>

<p>The <code>op</code> field a of <code>node</code> structure holds a dag operator, which
consists of a generic operator, a type suffix, and a size indicator. The type suffixes
are:</p>

<pre>enum {
	F=FLOAT,
	I=INT,
	U=UNSIGNED,
	P=POINTER,
	V=VOID,
	B=STRUCT
};

#define sizeop(n) ((n)&lt;&lt;10)</pre>

<p>Given a generic operator <code>o</code>, a type suffix <code>t</code>, and a size <code>s</code>,
a type- and size-specific operator is formed by <code>o+t+sizeop(s)</code>. For example, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(4)</code>
forms the operator <code>ADDF4</code>, which denotes the sum of two 4-byte floats.
Similarly, <code>ADD+F+sizeop(8)</code> forms <code>ADDF8</code>, which denotes 8-byte
floating addition. In the 3.x code-generation interface, <code>ADDF</code> and <code>ADDD</code>
denoted these operations. There was no size indicator in the 3.x operators because the
type suffix supplied both a type and a size.</p>

<p>Table 5.1 lists each generic operator, its valid type suffixes, and the number of <code>kids</code>
and <code>syms</code> that it uses; multiple values for <code>kids</code> indicate
type-specific variants. The notations in the <strong>syms</strong> column give the number
of <code>syms</code> values and a one-letter code that suggests their uses: 1V indicates
that <code>syms[0]</code> points to a symbol for a variable, 1C indicates that <code>syms[0]</code>
is a constant, and 1L indicates that <code>syms[0]</code> is a label. For 1S, <code>syms[0]</code>
is a constant whose value is a size in bytes; 2S adds <code>syms[1]</code>, which is a
constant whose value is an alignment. For most operators, the type suffix and size
indicator denote the type and size of operation to perform and the type and size of the
result.</p>

<p>The entries in the <strong>Sizes</strong> column indicate sizes of the operators that
back ends must implement. Letters denote the size of float (f), double (d), long double
(x), character (c), short integer (s), integer (i), long integer (l), &quot;long
long&quot; integer (h) , and pointer (p). These sizes are separated into sets for each
type suffix, except that a single set is used for both I and U when the set for I is
identical to the set for U.</p>

<p>The actual values for the size indicators, fdxcsilhp, depend on the target. A
specification like <code>ADDF</code>f denotes the operator <code>ADD+F+sizeop(</code>f<code>)</code>,
where &quot;f&quot; is replaced by a target-dependent value, e.g., <code>ADDF4</code> and <code>ADDF8</code>.
For example, back ends must implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
operators.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><code>CVIF</code>f <code>CVIF</code>d <code>CVIF</code>x<br>
  <code>CVII</code>c <code>CVII</code>s <code>CVII</code>i <code>CVII</code>l <code>CVII</code>h<br>
  <code>CVIU</code>c <code>CVIU</code>s <code>CVIU</code>i <code>CVIU</code>l <code>CVIU</code>h
  <code>CVIU</code>p<br>
  <br>
  <code>MULF</code>f <code>MULF</code>d <code>MULF</code>x<br>
  <code>MULI</code>i <code>MULI</code>l <code>MULI</code>h<br>
  <code>MULU</code>i <code>MULU</code>l <code>MULU</code>h</p>
</blockquote>

<p>On most platforms, there are fewer than three sizes of floats and six sizes of
integers, and pointers are usually the same size as one of the integers. And lcc doesn't
support the &quot;long long&quot; type, so h is not currently used. So the set of
platform-specific operators is usually smaller than the list above suggests. For example,
the X86, SPARC, and MIPS back ends implement the following <code>CVI</code> and <code>MUL</code>
operators.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><code>CVIF</code>4 <code>CVIF</code>8<br>
  <code>CVII</code>1 <code>CVII</code>2 <code>CVII</code>4<br>
  <code>CVIU</code>1 <code>CVIU</code>2 <code>CVIU</code>4 <br>
  <br>
  <code>MULF</code>4 <code>MULF</code>8<br>
  <code>MULI</code>4<br>
  <code>MULU</code>4</p>
</blockquote>

<p>The set of operators is thus target-dependent; for example, <code>ADDI8</code> appears
only if the target supports an 8-byte integer type. <a
HREF="ftp://ftp.cs.princeton.edu/pub/packages/lcc/contrib/ops.c"><code>ops.c</code></a> is
a program that, given a set of sizes, prints the required operators and their values,
e.g.,</p>

<blockquote>
  <pre>% <em>ops c=1 s=2 i=4 l=4 h=4 f=4 d=8 x=8 p=4</em>
...
 CVIF4=4225 CVIF8=8321
 CVII1=1157 CVII2=2181 CVII4=4229
 CVIU1=1158 CVIU2=2182 CVIU4=4230
...
 MULF4=4561 MULF8=8657
 MULI4=4565
 MULU4=4566
...
131 operators</pre>
</blockquote>

<p>The type suffix for a conversion operator denotes the type of the result and the size
indicator gives the size of the result. For example, <code>CVUI4</code> converts an
unsigned (<code>U</code>) to a 4-byte signed integer (<code>I4</code>). The <code>syms[0]</code>
field points to a symbol-table entry for a integer constant that gives the size of the
source operand. For example, if <code>syms[0]</code> in a <code>CVUI4</code> points to a
symbol-table entry for 2, the conversion widens a 2-byte unsigned integer to a 4-byte
signed integer. Conversions that widen unsigned integers zero-extend; those that widen
signed integers sign-extend.</p>

<p>The front end composes conversions between types <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> and <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>
by widening <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> to it's &quot;supertype&quot;, if necessary, converting
that result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>'s supertype, then narrowing the result to <em>T</em><sub>2</sub>,
if necessary. The following table lists the supertypes; omitted entries are their own
supertypes.</p>

<p>Pointers are converted to an unsigned type of the same size, even when that type is not
one of the integer types.</p>

<p>For example, the front end converts a signed short to a float by first converting it to
an int and then to a float. It converts an unsigned short to an int with a single <code>CVUI</code>i
conversion, when shorts are smaller than ints.</p>

<p>There are now signed and unsigned variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>BCOM</code>,
<code>BOR</code>, <code>BXOR</code>, <code>BAND</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
and <code>RET</code> to simplify code generation on platforms that use different
instructions or register set for signed and unsigned operations. Likewise there are now
pointer variants of <code>ASGN</code>, <code>INDIR</code>, <code>ARG</code>, <code>CALL</code>,
and <code>RET</code>.</p>

<h2><a NAME="flags">5.6 Interface Flags</a></h2>

<pre>unsigned unsigned_char:1;</pre>

<p>tells the front end whether plain characters are signed or unsigned. If it's zero, char
is a signed type; otherwise, char is an unsigned type.</p>

<p>All the interface flags can be set by command-line options, e.g., <code>-Wf-unsigned_char=1</code>
causes plain characters to be unsigned.</p>

<h2><a NAME="definitions">5.8 Definitions</a></h2>

<p>The front end announces local variables by calling</p>

<pre>void (*local)(Symbol);</pre>

<p>It announces temporaries likewise; these have the symbol's <code>temporary</code> flag
set, which indicates that the symbol will be used only in the next call to <code>gen</code>.
If a temporary's <code>u.t.cse</code> field is nonnull, it points to the node that
computes the value assigned to the temporary; see page 346.</p>

<p>The front end calls</p>

<pre>void (*address)(Symbol p, Symbol q, long n);</pre>

<p>to initialize <code>q</code> to a symbol that represents an address of the form <em>x</em>+<code>n</code>,
where <em>x</em> is the address represented by <code>p</code> and the long integer <code>n</code>
is positive or negative.</p>

<h2><a NAME="constants">5.9 Constants</a></h2>

<p>The interface function</p>

<pre>void (*defconst)(int suffix, int size, Value v);</pre>

<p>initializes constants. defconst emits directives to define a cell and initialize it to
a constant value. v is the constant value, suffix identifies the type of the value, and
size is the size of the value in bytes. The value of suffix indicates which field of v
holds the value, as shown in the following table.</p>

<p><code>defconst</code> must narrow <code>v.</code>x when <code>size</code> is less than <code>sizeof</code>
<code>v.</code>x; e.g., to emit an unsigned char, <code>defconst</code> should emit <code>(unsigned
char)v.i</code>.</p>

<h2><a NAME="upcalls">5.12 Upcalls</a></h2>

<p>lcc 4.x uses standard I/O and its I/O functions have been changed accordingly. lcc
reads input from the standard input, emits code to the standard output, and writes
diagnostics to the standard error output. It uses <code>freopen</code> to redirect these
streams to explicit files, when necessary.</p>

<p><code>bp</code>, <code>outflush</code>, and <code>outs</code> have been eliminated.</p>

<pre>extern void fprint(FILE *f, const char *fmt, ...);
extern void  print(const char *fmt, ...);</pre>

<p>print formatted data to file <code>f</code> (<code>fprint</code>) or the standard
output (<code>print</code>). These functions are like standard C's <code>printf</code> and
<code>fprintf</code>, but support only some of the standard conversion specifiers and do
not support flags, precision, and field-width specifications. They support the following
new conversion specifiers in addition to those described on page 99.</p>

<p><code>generic(op)</code> returns the generic variant of <code>op</code>; that is,
without its type suffix and size indicator. <code>specific(op)</code> returns the
type-specific variant of <code>op</code>; that is, without its size indicator.</p>

<p><code>newconst</code> has been replaced by</p>

<pre>extern Symbol intconst(int n);</pre>

<p>which installs the integer constant <code>n</code> in the symbol table, if necessary,
