-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2014-1196 2014-04-21 16:38:32 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : pcc Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 1.1.0 Release : 0.1.20140420cvs.el6 URL : http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ Summary : The Portable C Compiler Description : The compiler is based on the original Portable C Compiler by Stephen C. Johnson, written in the late 70's. Even though much of the compiler has been rewritten, some of the basics still remain.
PCC debuted in Unix Version 7 and replaced the DMR compiler (Dennis Ritchie's original C compiler) in both System V and the BSD 4.x releases. Some history about pcc is in the A History of UNIX before Berkeley: UNIX Evolution: 1975-1984 and in the Evolution of C.
About 50% of the front-end code and 80% of the back-end code has been rewritten. Most stuff is written by Anders Magnusson, with the exception of the data-flow analysis part and the SSA conversion code which is written by Peter A. Jonsson, and the Mips port that were written as part of a project by undergraduate students at Luleå University of Technology (LTU).
