z88dk-zcc - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

zcc - The frontend of z88dk

SYSNOPIS

zcc [flags] [files to be compiled/linked]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the z88dk tools. This manual page was written for the
Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program
does not have a manual page.

Please refer to the z88dk documentation in /usr/share/doc/z88dk-doc for the
complete description of the system. If /usr/share/doc/z88dk-doc not exists, please
install the package z88dk-doc.

The frontend of z88dk is called zcc, it is this that you should call if you want to
do any compilations.

The files can be either C files (.c), preprocessed C files(.i), compiled C files
(.asm), optimised compiled file (.opt) or assembled files (.obj), any combination
of them can be mixed together and the relevant processed done on them.

Processing of a file list is done on each file in turn (i.e. preprocess, compile,
optimise, assemble) at the end all files may be linked into a single executable if
desired.

-a Produce .asm (or .opt) file only

-c Do not link object files

-E Preprocess files only, leave output in .i file

-o [file]
Specify output file for binary (default is a.bas for BASIC programs and a.bin for
application binaries)

-On Optimize compiler output (to .opt file) n can be either 0 (none) 1,2,3, level 2 is
recommended. Level 3 is suitable for large programs (includes certain lib functions
to reduce size of code(!))

-v Verbose - echo commands as they are executed

-vn Don't be verbose

Options to control library usage:

-l[name]
Link in a library - supply just the name (after placing them in the correct
directory).

The 'name' are:
farz88 Z88 far support
gfx Z88 BASIC graphics lib
gfxapp Z88 application graphics lib
m Generic math routines
malloc Generic near malloc routine
mz OZ's math routines
ndos Fake file-routines, return errors only
net Z88 socket routines for ZSock
netdev Z88 socket routines for devices
p3 +3 file support library
tigray82 Ti82 graylib routines
tigray83 Ti83 graylib routines
tigray83p Ti83+ graylib routines
tigray85 Ti85 graylib routines
tigray86 Ti86 graylib routines
z88 Some Z88 application routines, like mailboxing
zxmath ZX Spectrum ROM based math routines
zxvgs ZXVGS hardware support

-m Generate .map files when assembling/linking

Options to control the type code produced:

-unsigned
Implicitly define everything as unsigned unless explicitly told otherwise.

-create-app
Create an application image (i.e. bank 63,62 etc)

-make-app
(App) Notify the compiler that you're trying to make an application

-reqpag=
(App) Number of 256 byte pages required for bad application

-zorg= (App) Origin for a Z88 application

-safedata=
(App) Amount of safedata required by your code

-defvars=
(App) Where static variables should be dropped (only valid for single file
compilations, but see later)

-expandz88
(App) Expanded z88 required -no-expandz88 (App) Expanded z88 not required
(these two flags toggle some startup code to check for an expanded machine)

-startup=3
Produce standalone code that can be run from a set address from BASIC. Use
-zorg= to change the address

-R (Use with above) produces relocatable code that can be loaded into a DIM'd
BASIC array.

-smartpf
Intelligent printf routine handling

-no-smartpf
Turn off the intelligent printf handling

-make-lib
Shortcut to generate .o files from library .c files

-stackoffset
Sets the stack offset for shared libs (see package.txt for details)

Miscellaneous options:

-z80-verb
Allow z80asm to be verbose, this tends to generate a lot of output to the
screen so may not be desired.

-cc Intersperse C code as comments in the assembler output, warning: this *will*
clobber some optimizations.

-Wall Turn on all the compiler warnings

-Wnone Turn off all compiler warnings

-Wn[num]
Turn off the compiler warning [num]

-W[num]
Turn on the compiler warning [num]

-asxx Cause the compiler to emit asxx compatible code

-Cp[option]
Pass an option through to the pre-processor

-Ca[option]
Pass an option through to the assembler

In addition, the flags, -D, -I, -U are passed through to the preprocessor.
