A new version of KCC has been installed as SYS:CC.EXE on SRI-NIC.ARPA.
This corrects all of the minor bugs that users have discovered in the
most recent distribution, including unnamed bitfield positioning,
"register allocation" warnings, and more peephole optimizer bulletproofing.
A few additional minor optimizations are now done, but otherwise there
are no changes.
A reminder: send bug reports to BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA (the maintainer/hacker
list), not to INFO-KCC (the global news list). Thanks for the reports
so far!

Last night I was using the new distribution of KCC (announced in early
March) to recompile some code that had compiled fine using the old
version (ca. a month ago). Can anybody give me a clue as to what's
going wrong here? Since the source is about 30K bytes in all, I'm not
including it in this message, but will send it to any wizard willing
to look into the problem.
Thanks,

Haven't seen any other mention of this, so thought I'd spread the
word; I wish I had known about it earlier myself.
I just discovered by accident that the second edition of Harbison and
Steele's "C: A Reference Manual" is now out in the stands!
Unfortunately, it also seems to be out of stock -- the first 4
bookstores I tried had completely run out of their initial orders
(they seemed quite bemused by its popularity), and all had additional
shipments on the way. I did manage to find one place (would you
believe the Stanford campus bookstore??) that still had a handful
left, and grabbed one. It's much heftier, costs $25, and the back
cover blurb claims it includes a description of the draft ANSI C
language. I haven't looked at it yet, but am confident that it will
be the definitive reference for C until the ANSI draft becomes a
standard (which may not be for a while).

-------
I mention this here because KCC is supposed to be a full
implementation of H&S CARM, and I want to continue keeping it that
way. A close perusal of the second edition will be needed before we
can say what (if any) changes might be necessary or advisable; if
there are changes they will be announced, of course. Feel free to
make suggestions if you have some (to BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA).

ANSI EXTENSION - "long double" type
The ANSI draft standard (X3J11) proposes a new float data type
called "long double" which is expected to have precision/range at
least as great as "double": float <= double <= long double. The need
to assign some hardware format to this new type raises the issue of
the most suitable mapping for all three types, and I'd like some comments
on this.
The PDP-10 floating point formats are:
Words Precision (digits) Range
"F" Single-precision 1 8 1.5e-39 to 1.7e38
"D" Double-precision 2 18 1.5e-39 to 1.7e38
"G" format 2 17 2.8e-309 to 9.0e307
The single-precision "F" format has been around since day one on the
PDP-6. Hardware double-precision ("D") was introduced on the KI-10
(the KA-10 uses a different software format for double precision). G
format is a new one only available in KL10s with microcode version 271
or up; KS10s (DEC-2020) don't have this. Note the loss of
significance is exchanged for a gain in range.
The plausible mappings appear to be:
Float Double Long Double
A. F F D Fast arith, all CPUs (or non-KL)
B. F F G Fast arith, KL only
C. F D D All CPUs (or non-KL)
D. F D G KL only
E. F G G KL only
C considerations:
C according to H&S requires that all operands of type "float"
be converted to "double". ANSI C will permit them to remain "float",
however. All C library routines, both now and in the future, require
"double" arguments and return "double" results.
Timing considerations:
I ran some timing tests on SRI-NIC (a DEC-2065) and have summarized
the results in this table (times are in usec):
ADD SUB MUL DIV
Single 1.9 2.2 2.5 4.6
Double 2.5 3.2 4.2 8.7
G-fmt 7.5 8.2 5.8 9.8
Exact times will depend on the operands used; the values chosen were
picked to give a reasonable number of bit transitions. Note the much
larger times for G format arithmetic.
I would like to hear any comments about the most suitable mapping to
use. If no one says anything, I will probably decide to simply keep
the current setup ("float" is F, "double" is D), and make "long
double" correspond to G format on KLs, D format otherwise.

strncpy() does not terminate the target string with a null.
According to CARM I, section 11.2.9:
"strncpy copies exactly n characters to s1. It copies up to n
characters from s2. If there are fewer than n characters in
s2 before the terminating null character, then null characters
are written into s1 as padding until exactly n characters have
been written. If there are n or more characters in s2, then
only n characters are copied, and so only a truncated copy of
s2 is transferred to s1. IT FOLLOWS THAT THE COPY IN S1 IS
TERMINATED WITH A NULL BY STRNCPY ONLY IF THE LENGTH OF S2
(NOT COUNTING THE TERMINATING NULL) IS LESS THAN N."
CARM II says the same thing.

Subject: realloc() bug
Symptom:
Using realloc() to shrink the size of a block returns garbage.
Diagnosis:
The code did the split() correctly but forgot to put the old
pointer where it would be passed back to the user.
Fix:
;COMPARISON OF SRC:<KCC.LIB>MALLOC.C.185 AND SRC:<KCC.LIB>MALLOC.C.186
;OPTIONS ARE /3
**** FILE SRC:<KCC.LIB>MALLOC.C.185, 8-47 (14868)
else if (old->size > need) /* if reducing, free the tail */
split(old, need);
**** FILE SRC:<KCC.LIB>MALLOC.C.186, 8-47 (14868)
else if (old->size > need) { /* if reducing, free the tail */
split(old, need);
return ptr;
}

I am interested in knowing the specifics on how to obtain the KCC C compiler
for our DEC-2065. Our -20 is used as a purely academic machine and the KCC
C compiler would be a useful addition to the system. In case it is an issue,
the -20 has been added to our UNIX license with AT&T.
Thank you.

Hi. Do you have any way to access the ARPANET or MILNET? If so, you
can retrieve the KCC compiler sources and binary directly over the net.
I know there are a few network sites there, but they keep changing, with
funny access rules. If you can't see any way to do it, then I guess
we'd have to make a distribution tape. This is a bit of a pain,
though, so I'll wait to hear from you. No UNIX license is needed, by
the way; we do not use or distribute any AT&T software.
Here is the INSTAL.DOC file, for additional info:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING KCC ON A TOPS-20 SYSTEM
KCC is normally distributed over the Internet via FTP from
SRI-NIC.ARPA, but can also be obtained on tape. This file describes
the basics of installing KCC for each, but you should read everything
regardless of which medium you are using.
TAPE INSTALLATION:
The TOPS-20 tape consists of a single DUMPER saveset with
several directories. They are organized into a single tree with the
top-level directory named "KCCDIST" or "KCC-n" or whatever; for
purposes of discussion we'll assume the fictitious name "KCC-n". You
can either retrieve all files at once, or extract only those necessary
to install a working copy of KCC.
Retrieving all files:
Create a directory, such as KCCDIST, to hold the distribution.
This will contain the following:
<KCC-n> General information files, in particular:
CC.EXE The KCC compiler.
AGREE.TXT Ethical issues.
INSTAL.DOC Installation info; what you are reading now.
NEWS.TXT News about this version.
C: => <KCC-n.INCLUDE> Runtime library and include files.
CC.DOC KCC user documentation.
<KCC-n.INCLUDE.SYS> More include files, Un*x oriented.
<KCC-n.FAIL> FAIL assembler source, binary, and manual.
<KCC-n.KCC> KCC compiler sources and auxiliary files.
<KCC-n.LIB*> Runtime library sources:
<KCC-n.LIB> General-purpose library routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.STDIO> Standard I/O package routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.MATH> Math library routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.USYS> Unix simulation routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.NETWORK> A stab at a couple BSD net routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.PML> Unused "portable math library" routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.TEST> Unused testing routines.
Installing a working KCC:
To install a working copy of KCC, you should create a
directory to hold the runtime library and include files, and define
the logical name C: to point to it. This may be the same directory as
the one you restored the tape to (i.e. <KCC-n.INCLUDE>), or it may be
a different place. This directory should also have a subdirectory
called SYS to hold certain other include files.
Read the NEWS.TXT file for any special news about this version
of the distribution. Then define C:, copy CC.EXE to your site's SYS:
directory, and you're all set.
To summarize, these are the files you need:
<KCC-n>CC.EXE
C: => <KCC-n.INCLUDE>*.*.0 Runtime library and include files.
<KCC-n.INCLUDE.SYS>*.*.0 More include files, Un*x oriented.
Be sure to read the General Notes farther on in this file.
FTP transfer notes:
If you are fortunate enough to have Internet access, I
recommend that you use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to get copies of
any KCC files that you need.
Connect to SRI-NIC.ARPA, and use the FTP anonymous login
convention (username "anonymous", password your real name) to log in.
The complete distribution is available in the directory tree defined
by the logical name KCCDIST:, which is organized exactly as described
in the previous (tape installation) section. You can retrieve any of
the files or directories mentioned as needed.
NOTE: the exact directory name which KCCDIST: points to will
vary! It may be <KCCDIST>, or <KCC-n>, or something else, so be
prepared to modify the given filenames appropriately.
BETA-TEST Versions:
For those interested in serving as "beta test" sites and
living dangerously, it is possible to acquire the very latest binaries
by transferring the following files:
SYS:CC.EXE Latest KCC.
C:*.*.0 Latest runtime library and include files.
C:<KCC.SYS>*.*.0 Latest Un*x-emulation include files.
Since KCC and the library are still evolving steadily, you will almost
certainly get something newer and better. Just be aware that you also
have the following risks:
(1) The binaries may contain new bugs.
(2) The new versions may be incompatible (this will cause linker
error messages to alert you, however).
(3) The new sources will not be available until things stabilize
enough for a new distribution to be made.
General Notes:
It is wise to retain the file version numbers during
installation, since that is how KCC versions are numbered; a higher
file version number means a more recent version of KCC.
C:CC.DOC contains user documentation. More internal details
may be available at various places in the directory tree, in files
named *.DOC.
KCC as distributed will invoke the FAIL assembler by
default, rather than MACRO, because FAIL is much faster. If you do
not have FAIL, you may wish to install it also. The .EXE binary,
.FAI source, and line-printer style manual (FAIL.MANUAL) are included.
If you don't want to try this, or for other reasons prefer to use
MACRO, then you will want to either recompile KCC with the CCSITE.H
file changed to reflect your preferences, or you can patch the "tgasm"
variable in CC.EXE to have the value 1.
MONITOR/EXEC Modifications:
There are certain modifications to the TOPS-20 Monitor and Exec
which KCC can make use of, if they are available. They are:
(1) Monitor: the PIP: device, to support pipes.
(2) Exec: PRARG% protocol to support "&" background processing.
(3) Exec: COMPIL-class command support.
Many sites already have these modifications, but if you don't, you
should be able to obtain them from their origin at Stanford; contact
Stu Grossman <Grossman@SIERRA.STANFORD.EDU>. Note that they are not
necessary, either to use KCC or run the C programs it compiles.
The COMPIL-class command change is simple enough to be described here:
The EXEC modifications to make its COMPILE/LOAD/etc commands
work with KCC can be found in the Stanford version of the EXEC
in the EXECCS module:
In the LANGUAGE macro definition, add:
L (DDT,C,CC,KCC) ;KCC
Immediately after the instruction at BSRC1, add:
CAIN P4,LT.C
RET
Immediately after the instruction at PUTDF, add:
CAIN P4,LT.C
SKIPA ; If KCC, always use native mode.

I have experienced strange behavior by a program which outputs to the
terminal, when TERMINAL NO PAUSE END-OF-PAGE is in effect. Under
these conditions, some output is lost, while output from later
sections of the program begins inappropriately early. The same program
and data produce perfect output when the TERMINAL PAUSE option is
used. Initially, the output was generated by printf("\n.....
statements. When these gave poor results, I tried the \n at the end
of the line. When this failed, I tried fprintf(stdout,"...., and when
that failed, I tried sprintf(buffer,".... followed by
printf("%s\n",buffer). All of these attempts gave similar results.
Has anyone experienced similar problems, or does anyone have a fix
that eliminates this annoying bug?

Please send bug reports to BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA. INFO-KCC is not a
bug reporting list and reaches many people who are not interested in
those reports. For this case, I suggest you also contact Rusch,
Relph, and Dautricourt at BIONET. Last I heard they were still using
a fairly old release of KCC, although it's hard to see how program
behavior could change just due to the TER PAUSE setting.

OK, you're on both lists now. Have you reached any conclusion as to the
best overall scheme for assembling and linking the compilation results?
Perhaps you, I, SRA, and anyone else that you know to be interested should
start a small offshoot mailing list to hammer out ITS-specific issues.

[Bug-COMSAT and INFO-KCC-REQUEST are receiving this because there's
some overlap of interests here. The ITS version isn't done yet, but
we're working on it....]
If you're receiving this message, it's because at one point you
expressed an interest in the domain resolver code I've been
developing. It's finally ready for people other than me to look at.
CHIVES.EXE (the UDP resolver process) and the GTDOM% JSYS (the normal
user interface) are finished, or at least functional enough to
release. ZT (the zone transfer client) was written a long time ago
and a lot of things have happened to the code since then, so it
probably won't compile. I'll be fixing this Real Soon Now (I doubt
it's a major job).
For those who have had experience with the ISI GTDOM%, you can relax,
the MIT GTDOM% is much lower profile, you don't have to hack PAGEM or
anything hairy like that. The only non-trivial changes to existing
monitor code is the addition of a few short accessor routines to
IPCF.MAC and, if you're running under 5.4, retrofitting support for
paged IPCF from monitor context (DEC supports this as of rel 6).
All the stuff lives in XX:<CHIVES> and child directories thereof,
accessible via ANONYMOUS FTP. Documentation is a little scanty at the
moment, there are -READ-.-THIS- and .DOC files scattered around hither
and yon.
GTDOM% has been tested somewhat under an MIT 5.4 monitor. It hasn't
been used as the system resolver yet. It should be possible to bring
GTDOM% up under 6.1 without too much trouble, but it hasn't been done
yet because XX still runs 5.4 (this week).
Please send mail to CHIVES-REQUEST@XX.LCS.MIT.EDU if you want to be on
the alpha test mailing list (CHIVES-ALPHA@XX...). Also send mail if
you no longer care about resolvers or 20s and want to be taken off all
the lists, etcetera. I'm not sure if there will ever be a formal beta
test version, not that many people seem to care. We'll see how it
goes.
Two things you should note before trying to obtain the code:
(1) You need a current distribution of KCC (from SRI-NIC.ARPA).
Contact INFO-KCC-REQUEST@SRI-NIC.ARPA for information about KCC.
(2) Please note that the code IS copyrighted and has absolutely NO
WARRANTY. This is to avoid having somebody try to sell the code
back to me in a year or so and to avoid lawsuits. The copyright
policy is spelled out in the file XX:<CHIVES>COPYRIGHT.NOTICE; if
you have problems with this, please get in touch with me about it
and we'll see if we can work something out.
Welcome to the future, TOPS-20 isn't quite dead yet....

Hi, here's a copy of the INSTAL.DOC file for KCC, which I hope will answer
some of your questions. A new release (KCC-4) should be coming out quite soon,
and I would suggest waiting for that as far as sources are concerned; why
don't I add your name to the INFO-KCC mailing list, so you'll receive word
when it's ready?
------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING KCC ON A TOPS-20 SYSTEM
KCC is normally distributed over the Internet via FTP from
SRI-NIC.ARPA, but can also be obtained on tape. This file describes
the basics of installing KCC for each, but you should read everything
regardless of which medium you are using.
TAPE INSTALLATION:
The TOPS-20 tape consists of a single DUMPER saveset with
several directories. They are organized into a single tree with the
top-level directory named "KCCDIST" or "KCC-n" or whatever; for
purposes of discussion we'll assume the fictitious name "KCC-n". You
can either retrieve all files at once, or extract only those necessary
to install a working copy of KCC.
Retrieving all files:
Create a directory, such as KCCDIST, to hold the distribution.
This will contain the following:
<KCC-n> General information files, in particular:
CC.EXE The KCC compiler.
AGREE.TXT Ethical issues.
INSTAL.DOC Installation info; what you are reading now.
NEWS.TXT News about this version.
C: => <KCC-n.INCLUDE> Runtime library and include files.
CC.DOC KCC user documentation.
<KCC-n.INCLUDE.SYS> More include files, Un*x oriented.
<KCC-n.FAIL> FAIL assembler source, binary, and manual.
<KCC-n.KCC> KCC compiler sources and auxiliary files.
<KCC-n.LIB*> Runtime library sources:
<KCC-n.LIB> General-purpose library routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.STDIO> Standard I/O package routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.MATH> Math library routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.USYS> Unix simulation routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.NETWORK> A stab at a couple BSD net routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.PML> Unused "portable math library" routines.
<KCC-n.LIB.TEST> Unused testing routines.
Installing a working KCC:
To install a working copy of KCC, you should create a
directory to hold the runtime library and include files, and define
the logical name C: to point to it. This may be the same directory as
the one you restored the tape to (i.e. <KCC-n.INCLUDE>), or it may be
a different place. This directory should also have a subdirectory
called SYS to hold certain other include files.
Read the NEWS.TXT file for any special news about this version
of the distribution. Then define C:, copy CC.EXE to your site's SYS:
directory, and you're all set.
To summarize, these are the files you need:
<KCC-n>CC.EXE
C: => <KCC-n.INCLUDE>*.*.0 Runtime library and include files.
<KCC-n.INCLUDE.SYS>*.*.0 More include files, Un*x oriented.
Be sure to read the General Notes farther on in this file.
FTP transfer notes:
If you are fortunate enough to have Internet access, I
recommend that you use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to get copies of
any KCC files that you need.
Connect to SRI-NIC.ARPA, and use the FTP anonymous login
convention (username "anonymous", password your real name) to log in.
The complete distribution is available in the directory tree defined
by the logical name KCCDIST:, which is organized exactly as described
in the previous (tape installation) section. You can retrieve any of
the files or directories mentioned as needed.
NOTE: the exact directory name which KCCDIST: points to will
vary! It may be <KCCDIST>, or <KCC-n>, or something else, so be
prepared to modify the given filenames appropriately.
BETA-TEST Versions:
For those interested in serving as "beta test" sites and
living dangerously, it is possible to acquire the very latest binaries
by transferring the following files:
SYS:CC.EXE Latest KCC.
C:*.*.0 Latest runtime library and include files.
C:<KCC.SYS>*.*.0 Latest Un*x-emulation include files.
Since KCC and the library are still evolving steadily, you will almost
certainly get something newer and better. Just be aware that you also
have the following risks:
(1) The binaries may contain new bugs.
(2) The new versions may be incompatible (this will cause linker
error messages to alert you, however).
(3) The new sources will not be available until things stabilize
enough for a new distribution to be made.
General Notes:
It is wise to retain the file version numbers during
installation, since that is how KCC versions are numbered; a higher
file version number means a more recent version of KCC.
C:CC.DOC contains user documentation. More internal details
may be available at various places in the directory tree, in files
named *.DOC.
KCC as distributed will invoke the FAIL assembler by
default, rather than MACRO, because FAIL is much faster. If you do
not have FAIL, you may wish to install it also. The .EXE binary,
.FAI source, and line-printer style manual (FAIL.MANUAL) are included.
If you don't want to try this, or for other reasons prefer to use
MACRO, then you will want to either recompile KCC with the CCSITE.H
file changed to reflect your preferences, or you can patch the "tgasm"
variable in CC.EXE to have the value 1.
MONITOR/EXEC Modifications:
There are certain modifications to the TOPS-20 Monitor and Exec
which KCC can make use of, if they are available. They are:
(1) Monitor: the PIP: device, to support pipes.
(2) Exec: PRARG% protocol to support "&" background processing.
(3) Exec: COMPIL-class command support.
Many sites already have these modifications, but if you don't, you
should be able to obtain them from their origin at Stanford; contact
Stu Grossman <Grossman@SIERRA.STANFORD.EDU>. Note that they are not
necessary, either to use KCC or run the C programs it compiles.
The COMPIL-class command change is simple enough to be described here:
The EXEC modifications to make its COMPILE/LOAD/etc commands
work with KCC can be found in the Stanford version of the EXEC
in the EXECCS module:
In the LANGUAGE macro definition, add:
L (DDT,C,CC,KCC) ;KCC
Immediately after the instruction at BSRC1, add:
CAIN P4,LT.C
RET
Immediately after the instruction at PUTDF, add:
CAIN P4,LT.C
SKIPA ; If KCC, always use native mode.

The new version of KCC (and its runtime library, LIBC) is now
available for people who want to try it out in binary form. After
waiting a while longer to see what bugs get shaken out, we'll put
together another snapshot of the sources and call that the KCC-4
distribution. Please send all bug reports to BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA.
To get the new stuff, FTP these files from SRI-NIC.ARPA:
SYS:CC.EXE.0 (SYS:CCX.EXE if you want the extended-addr version)
C:*.*.0
PS:<KCC.SYS>*.*.0
You cannot simply get LIBC.REL from C: because many of the existing .H
files have been changed, and there are new additional files. So you will
have to copy everything.
Here is an extract from NEWS.TXT that describes what's new about this version:
---------------------
The bad news is that this release is incompatible enough with
the previous versions that you will have to recompile everything you
want to link together. This is mainly because the format of jmp_buf
(used by setjmp and longjmp) had to be expanded. As long as this had
to happen, a few other structures were expanded too. The $$CVER symbol
was updated to force LINK errors on any attempts to load incompatibly
compiled code.
The good news is that this version should completely implement all
facilities described by the new 2nd edition of Harbison and Steele's "C: A
Reference Manual". Some new system calls are also included.
KCC:
Few changes, mostly bug fixes. The __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros
have been implemented, which expand into the date and time of compilation.
LIBC:
Major changes. Many new functions were added. In particular,
signals now work, which required some revamping of the Un*x system
call (USYS) simulation routines. The following are the additions of
note:
longjmp/setjmp now act like CARM/4.3BSD and can restore context
properly even from within a signal handler.
The signal mechanism is intended to fully simulate 4.3BSD
sigvec, including the functions sigvec, sigblock, sigsetmask,
sigpause, sigreturn. All TOPS-20 PSIs are provided for. USYS calls
are handled atomically except when doing monitor calls; those which
are allowed to be interrupted will return EINTR errors.
Some new ANSI functions were added to STDIO. These include
setvbuf, remove, rename, tmpfile, tmpnam, v[fs]printf.
Some new general ANSI utilities were added, including bsearch,
div, ldiv, strtod, strol, strtoul, onexit, strerror, clock, mktime.
The time functions were completed and made portable.
Several miscellaneous functions described in CARM (most from
SYSV) were added, including ctermid, cuserid, getcwd, getenv, putenv,
getlogin, getopt.
A new "system call" was provided: forkexec(), which combines
the functions of fork() and exec() in a way which is extremely efficient
for TOPS-20 (and still portable to Un*x systems). The system() routine
now uses this, as does the runtime when forking pipes.
The jsys() routine was redone to provide a consistent interface
regardless of how the actual jsys returns success or failure. It also
provides an indication of whether the jsys was interrupted, if this
was permitted for the call.
Most important TTY ioctl() functions are now supported.
This includes the ability to set the SIGINT and SIGQUIT interrupt
characters. RAW and CBREAK mode are implemented.
There are some new documentation files. LIBC.DOC and USYS.DOC
summarize the library routines in general and the USYS calls in
particular; SIGNAL.DOC provides more details on the KCC implementation
of signals.

Urgh. No, no one has done this. I'm not even sure if I would
recommend it. The preprocessing and parse tree generation is
fairly portable, but the code generation deals with PDP-10 pseudo-code
and outputs an assembler text file. You would also have to recode
the OS-dependent portions of the C library.
It might be more feasible to start with the GNU C compiler, which I
believe currently produces 68000 code; someone might even be modifying
it for the VAX. That would be useful since the GNU people
specifically want the result to be free, and from what I hear of the
compiler, it is quite good. If I were to try bringing up a non-BSD,
non-DEC compiler on the VAX, this is where I would start.
You could find out by sending a message to INFO-GNU-REQUEST@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU
(there is a more direct address but I forget what it is at the moment).
The KCC distribution sources live in the KCCDIST: directory on SRI-NIC.
There is a new distribution that is almost ready to supersede the old
one, so if you decide you want to try hacking it, you should check with
me to make sure you have the right stuff. Let me know what you decide
to do...

I'd like to be able to write an entirely separate assembler subroutine (in
MACRO) to be linked in with some KCC modules, and not have to use asm() if
possible. I have been fairly successful at getting this to work, except
that I would like to force the code to be placed in the TEXT segment. Is
there a way to do this? /Ken
P.S. -- If I let LINK put my MACRO module wherever it wants to, it will
stick it in the low segment (start address 140), which apparently blows
away some data that printf wants -- anyway, printf acts strangely. I've
forced the module to live at some hard address with LOC, but there must be
a better way.
P.P.S. -- Using the #asm/#endasm constructs, the right thing almost
happens. If I try to force the data storage in the MACRO source into the
DATA segment with %%DATA, the unpredictable printf behavior occurs again.

You should be addressing BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA, not INFO-KCC (which is mainly
for news dissemination). I will respond to your question in a separate message.

I'd like to be able to write an entirely separate assembler subroutine (in
MACRO) to be linked in with some KCC modules, and not have to use asm() if
possible. I have been fairly successful at getting this to work, except
that I would like to force the code to be placed in the TEXT segment. Is
there a way to do this? /Ken
P.S. -- If I let LINK put my MACRO module wherever it wants to, it will
stick it in the low segment (start address 140), which apparently blows
away some data that printf wants -- anyway, printf acts strangely. I've
forced the module to live at some hard address with LOC, but there must be
a better way.
P.P.S. -- Using the #asm/#endasm constructs, the right thing almost
happens. If I try to force the data storage in the MACRO source into the
DATA segment with %%DATA, the unpredictable printf behavior occurs again.

I don't know when the KCC-4 version will be absolutely complete. What
is holding things up is a minor problem with the C preprocessor. If I
had a few uninterrupted days I could fix it, but things will continue
to be VERY bad here until the end of January (official work takes
priority). The library is fine, and the binary compiler is fine, the
only issue is that of making the compiler source consistent with the
working binary. If you want to use it anyway (after all, that's what
we're doing here) you can get everything from SS:<KCC-4> plus
SYS:CC.EXE.0.
I like the idea of producing .REL files, but doubt it will happen
soon, unless someone wants to specifically pay for it. There are more
important problems like adding function prototypes. The 6 char
external limitation keeps coming up, but none of the other facts
change -- to ensure your code is portable you MUST make externals
unique in the first 6 monocase chars. Whether your own system, or
TOPS-20, supports longer names is irrelevant; you can't know what
other systems are out there that might depend on this. If you want
to import outside software that isn't as portable as it should be, or
want to use long identifiers for your own pleasure, you can #define
them to something short and unique (standard method). If you want to
use longer names for debugging, well, you'll have to upgrade IDDT (or
something) to understand the new symbol table format.
As for the choice of assembler, our own default is FAIL, and we don't
waste our time trying to make the distribution different from what we
actually run. Other sites are free to use a switch, or recompile, or
patch tgasm (it's documented).
As you might guess, there is no time to look at other programs such as
C Logo (however, if you have money... :-) I do think, though, that the
KCC-4 library will solve just about all of the problems you were
previously having.

OK, you're now on INFO-KCC. Nothing much has happened lately, although
I am still hoping to get the 4th source distribution done soon (being
held up by lack of time). There will be a note on INFO-KCC when I
finally succeed...

Well, what SHOULD happen? "flame and abort" is imprecise. ITS does
this much better -- it generates an interrupt which DDT knows about,
and you can proceed once you have freed up enough stuff. This removes
the need for every program in the world to have its own
"check-for-overquota-error-and-tell-user-and-wait" routines.
In other words, this seems like a TOPS-20 problem to me. How could
OPENF and CLOSF destroy a file, anyway? If you have your gen-ret-count
set to 1, that's your mistake.
I agree the stdio functions should return an error if the output write()
fails, and the write() should fail if the SOUT%/BOUT% fails. That,
I can look into later. Note that most programs, however, never bother
to check the return value of putc or printf or any other output function.
Usual Unix brain damage.
Note that .ICQTA is bound to SIGXFSZ. It isn't being triggered presumably
because an ERJMP turns the error condition into a simple error return.
I could, however, cause it to be invoked, and this could either
(1) call a user-defined signal handler, if one was specified by signal(),
or (2) as a default action, "flame and abort" (whatever you want that to be).
It could presumably ask the user whether to continue or not, although it
may be hard to know whether that makes sense (there may not be a "user" and
the channel to use may not be obvious either).

My workload has eased up a bit and I'm now able to give a little more
attention to KCC. A new KCC binary (version 586) is available for
FTPing from SRI-NIC.ARPA. (Filename "SYS:CC.EXE", or "SYS:CCX.EXE"
for the extended version.) This primarily fixes a number of bugs that
have been reported recently, including:
(Bowman) sizeof of an array within a structure was wrong.
(KLH) Null statement in switch() was interpreted as break.
(Wancho) Yet another peephole optimizer bug.
(Beebe) Macro definition mistakenly collapsed blanks
within a string literal.
(Beebe) Macro invocations now treat newline as ordinary
whitespace (H&S was unclear on this).
(Wancho) Undefined identifiers in #if and #elif now have the value 0,
(as per ANSI) with a warning.
(KLH) Constant expression optimization was improved.
There are no currently outstanding bugs with the KCC compiler that I
am aware of. There are a few requested features that I will add in the
future as time permits, such as version numbering, PSECT support, and
the like.
The current C library (C:LIBC.REL) also has a couple of minor fixes,
notably a bugfix to system(). There are a few pending possible bugs
that I have yet to look into (mostly from Frank Wancho!) Once I have
done this and made any necessary changes to the documentation files, I
will finally put together the source release. This will include a new
library, LIBTMX, that provides portable date and time parsing routines
(no more IDTNC% needed). I have not been very successful with my time
estimates in the past, but I'll try again: if no new problems turn up
then things should be ready before the end of March.

Check with the author, Nelson H.F. Beebe (Beebe@SCIENCE.UTAH.EDU).
Bug reports and the like should be addressed to BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC rather
than INFO-KCC, by the way.

Message-ID: <12391971060.28.KLH@SRI-NIC.ARPA>
The latest KCC sources are now (finally -- gasp) available in a new
distribution, KCC-5. People with FTP access to SRI-NIC.ARPA should, as
usual, retrieve everything in the directory that KCCDIST: points to,
which is now <KCC-5>. If you need help, first try retrieving the files
KCCDIST:OBTAIN.DOC and KCCDIST:INSTAL.DOC.
People without FTP access should contact me directly about getting a new
tape sent. They can also get a little more information by sending a message
to SERVICE@SRI-NIC.ARPA with the string "SEND KCCDIST:OBTAIN.DOC" in the
subject field.
Here is a summary of what's new, taken from the NEWS.TXT file. Note
that if you never got a binary version of the KCC-4 distribution (it was
never released in source form) then there are a great many more
improvements you are missing.
Enjoy!

---------------------------
04/20/88 KCC 599, LIBC 219: <2,,2> Fifth formal distribution snapshot
General:
Several new routines, features, and packages have been added.
The various *.DOC files have been improved somewhat, and as usual there
have been some bug fixes both to KCC (primarily the optimizer) and the
library.
KCC:
As KCC sees wider and heavier use, progressively more obscure
over-optimization bugs get shaken out. The arcane details are
unsuitable for listing here, but many thanks are due to those people who
found and reported them!
In addition to bug fixes, some internal cleanup was done to
improve constant folding, regain more stack space, and remove the
previously fixed limitation on parse tree size. Most of these changes are
not externally visible, but some that are:
Error message output has been improved. Although little mousy
errors still tend to panic KCC into a long series of hysterical
screams, the messages themselves are more compact, more informative, and
more well-structured.
__COMPILER_KCC__ now exists as the sole KCC-dependent predefined
macro, so that portable programs can readily determine whether
KCC's <c-env.h> file, in particular, is available or not.
The entry vector is now 3 words to allow for a binary
version number to be put in the 3rd word.
Of great interest to systems programmers will be two new
built-in functions, _KCCsymfnd and _KCCsymval, which can obtain constant
symbol values from .UNV files at compile time. <monsym.h> uses them to
provide a macro which gives very efficient access to all monitor
symbols.
KCC now has an "-i=psect" switch to provide rudimentary support
for loading PSECT code.
LIBC:
The C startup code now recognizes arguments of the form "@file" as
being indirect file specifications; the file is read and parsed into further
arguments. This applies to all C programs including KCC, and provides a way
of getting around RSCAN buffer size limitations.
modf() was changed to conform to the description in V7, ANSI,
and BSD; the description in H&S (CARM) appears to be wrong.
The O_SYSFD flag was added to open(), to allow opening a FD with
an existing JFN.
open() has been changed so that when opening a new file for
writing, it actually does an immediate CLOSF% and another OPENF%. This
ensures that the file immediately exists and is visible, thus avoiding
a number of problems (invalid simultaneous access, file busy, etc) that
are hard to deal with otherwise. The side effect of this is that if
the process is killed before it finishes, its output files will exist
with zero length, whereas before they would not exist at all.
printf(), fprintf() and sprintf() now finally return the number
of characters they output; this will be -1 if an error occurred.
The Un*x functions isatty() and ttyname() are provided.
The TERMCAP functions now exist as LIBTRM.
Fully portable time parsing and manipulation routines are
provided in LIBTMX; see LIBTMX.DOC.

Just a minor optimization bug fix. Since this came up so soon after
putting together the KCC-5 release, I took the time to retrofit the
changes into the source distribution.
I also added one new file, "KCCDIST:-FTP-.MIC", which is intended to
make it easier for people to FTP things. Get that file first, edit it
as necessary, and execute it to get the rest.
If you don't want sources, all you need to update from version 599 is
SYS:CC.EXE (and/or CCX.EXE).

Another optimization bugfix (glitch when optimizing some exprs of the form
array[0][x]). Since the source change is trivial I'm including it to
reduce overhead for people who maintain sources. Binaries available as
usual.

Ken-
I've started playing with KCC in order to get SRA's domain
resolver running.
I ran into an interesting problem which took a bit of digging to
track down. As a newcomer, I don't know if this has been covered
on this list before, but in any case it's probably worth a bug-fix,
or at the very least a warning in the INSTAL.DOC file.
I had C: defined to be <KCC.INCLUDE>. Attempts to compile
anything with an Include statement of the form
#include <sys/filename>
failed. I took a look at the GTJFN and noticed it was using a
filespec of the form
<KCC.INCLUDE>:<KCC.INCLUDE.sys>types.h
which indicated that the logical name expansion was getting screwed
up. Sometime later in the depths of OPEN, _GET_TRICKY, etc., I
discovered that the logical definition of C: had better have
an explicit device.
I changed C: to be PS:<KCC.INCLUDE> and all works fine now.
Hmmmm...A warning in INSTAL.DOC would help make sure that the
system-wide definition is right, but it wouldn't protect users who get
"sloppy" with job-wide definitions of C:, etc.
Cheers,
Clive Dawson

Another optimization bugfix (glitch when optimizing some exprs of the form
array[0][x]). Since the source change is trivial I'm including it to
reduce overhead for people who maintain sources. Binaries available as

In KCC 4 and 5, ungetc() doesn't backup the file pointer for
ftell(); it did so correctly in KCC 3. This prevents my TeX
DVI drivers from running with KCC 4 or 5.
Here is a PHOTO log with a simple test program; the file it
reads can be any 8-bit file you like.

The value of ftell() when there are ungetc'd chars to be read is
unspecified in H&S and previous versions of the ANSI draft. The latest
draft has this to say:
"For a text stream, the value of its file position indicator after a successful
call to the ungetc function is unspecified until all pushed-back characters are
read or discarded. For a binary stream, its file position indicator is
decremented by each successful call to the ungetc function; if its value was
zero before a call, it is indeterminate after the call."
We haven't gotten around to doing much about ANSI, really; I don't think it
is wise to rely on anything in that draft until they really pass it as a
standard. (For example, I heartily hope that they come to their senses and
flush the "noalias" abomination.)
But since you already depended on something that the draft now supports, I will
take a look at it.

This implies in my case that ftell() must work. Without
this feature, it is absolutely impossible to process TeX DVI
and font files, because reading of unbounded sequences is
necessary; the input determines when you have read too far,
and then you have to do an ungetc() so that a subsequent
ftell() tells you where you are. Because ftell() is
permitted to return a magic cookie that is not the byte
position, you cannot add -1 to the ftell() value to get the
real pointer if ungetc() fails to reset it. Actually, any
system that returns a magic cookie instead of a byte
position will be unusable for TeX DVI and font files, too,
because they both contain byte pointers into themselves.

Dear sir,
We're running an old version of KCC-20 at the university, and would like to
get the newest version. Are you the right person to contact about this?
Is there a mailing list on KCC? Whom do I ask to be added to it?
Manny thanks, Christer.

Hi!
Yes, I'm the right person, and we have just now released a new version
of KCC. I've added you to the INFO-KCC mailing list, which is primarily
for announcing new features (it is not a discussion group, but one could
be started if there is enough interest).
Someone at Uppsala named Per-Erik Martin was already on the list, but
I think he left; his address ("enea!AIDA.UU.SE!P-E-MARTIN"@UUNET.UU.NET)
no longer seems to work. Do you know anything about that?
And incidentally, do you know anything about the group there that is (or was)
trying to run the MIT ITS system? With some luck, KCC may be running on ITS
soon...
I will include two files here. The first is "NEWS.TXT" which
describes some of the changes thus far. The second is "OBTAIN.DOC"
which explains how to get a copy of KCC. Since you probably do not
have FTP access you would have to order a tape. However, there may be
an alternative. There is someone named Rein Tollevik at the
Institute of Informatics in Oslo (rein@IFI.UIO.NO) who was able to get
a copy of KCC recently via FTP, and who may be able to continue doing
so. If you can get in touch, that may be faster and more convenient for
you.
Good luck!

--------------------------- NEWS.TXT ----------------------------------------
04/20/88 KCC 599, LIBC 219: <2,,2> Fifth formal distribution snapshot
General:
Several new routines, features, and packages have been added.
The various *.DOC files have been improved somewhat, and as usual there
have been some bug fixes both to KCC (primarily the optimizer) and the
library.
KCC:
As KCC sees wider and heavier use, progressively more obscure
over-optimization bugs get shaken out. The arcane details are
unsuitable for listing here, but many thanks are due to those people who
found and reported them!
In addition to bug fixes, some internal cleanup was done to
improve constant folding, regain more stack space, and remove the
previously fixed limitation on parse tree size. Most of these changes are
not externally visible, but some that are:
Error message output has been improved. Although little mousy
errors still tend to panic KCC into a long series of hysterical
screams, the messages themselves are more compact, more informative, and
more well-structured.
__COMPILER_KCC__ now exists as the sole KCC-dependent predefined
macro, so that portable programs can readily determine whether
KCC's <c-env.h> file, in particular, is available or not.
The entry vector is now 3 words to allow for a binary
version number to be put in the 3rd word.
Of great interest to systems programmers will be two new
built-in functions, _KCCsymfnd and _KCCsymval, which can obtain constant
symbol values from .UNV files at compile time. <monsym.h> uses them to
provide a macro which gives very efficient access to all monitor
symbols.
KCC now has an "-i=psect" switch to provide rudimentary support
for loading PSECT code.
LIBC:
The C startup code now recognizes arguments of the form "@file" as
being indirect file specifications; the file is read and parsed into further
arguments. This applies to all C programs including KCC, and provides a way
of getting around RSCAN buffer size limitations.
modf() was changed to conform to the description in V7, ANSI,
and BSD; the description in H&S (CARM) appears to be wrong.
The O_SYSFD flag was added to open(), to allow opening a FD with
an existing JFN.
open() has been changed so that when opening a new file for
writing, it actually does an immediate CLOSF% and another OPENF%. This
ensures that the file immediately exists and is visible, thus avoiding
a number of problems (invalid simultaneous access, file busy, etc) that
are hard to deal with otherwise. The side effect of this is that if
the process is killed before it finishes, its output files will exist
with zero length, whereas before they would not exist at all.
printf(), fprintf() and sprintf() now finally return the number
of characters they output; this will be -1 if an error occurred.
The Un*x functions isatty() and ttyname() are provided.
The TERMCAP functions now exist as LIBTRM.
Fully portable time parsing and manipulation routines are
provided in LIBTMX; see LIBTMX.DOC.
09/11/87 KCC 575, LIBC 202: <2,,2> "KCC-4" (fourth, never really released)
The bad news is that this release is incompatible enough with
the previous versions that you will have to recompile everything you
want to link together. This is mainly because the format of jmp_buf
(used by setjmp and longjmp) had to be expanded. As long as this had
to happen, a few other structures were expanded too. The $$CVER symbol
was updated to force LINK errors on any attempts to load incompatibly
compiled code.
The good news is that this version should completely implement all
facilities described by the new 2nd edition of Harbison and Steele's "C: A
Reference Manual". Some new system calls are also included.
KCC:
Few changes, mostly bug fixes. The __DATE__ and __TIME__ macros
have been implemented, which expand into the date and time of compilation.
LIBC:
Major changes. Many new functions were added. In particular,
signals now work, which required some revamping of the Un*x system
call (USYS) simulation routines. The following are the additions of
note:
longjmp/setjmp now act like CARM/4.3BSD and can restore context
properly even from within a signal handler.
The signal mechanism is intended to fully simulate 4.3BSD
sigvec, including the functions sigvec, sigblock, sigsetmask,
sigpause, sigreturn. All TOPS-20 PSIs are provided for. USYS calls
are handled atomically except when doing monitor calls; those which
are allowed to be interrupted will return EINTR errors.
Some new ANSI functions were added to STDIO. These include
setvbuf, remove, rename, tmpfile, tmpnam, v[fs]printf.
Some new general ANSI utilities were added, including bsearch,
div, ldiv, strtod, strol, strtoul, onexit, strerror, clock, mktime.
The time functions were completed and made portable.
Several miscellaneous functions described in CARM (most from
SYSV) were added, including ctermid, cuserid, getcwd, getenv, putenv,
getlogin, getopt.
A new "system call" was provided: forkexec(), which combines
the functions of fork() and exec() in a way which is extremely efficient
for TOPS-20 (and still portable to Un*x systems). The system() routine
now uses this, as does the runtime when forking pipes.
The jsys() routine was redone to provide a consistent interface
regardless of how the actual jsys returns success or failure. It also
provides an indication of whether the jsys was interrupted, if this
was permitted for the call.
Most important TTY ioctl() functions are now supported.
This includes the ability to set the SIGINT and SIGQUIT interrupt
characters. RAW and CBREAK mode are implemented.
There are some new documentation files. LIBC.DOC and USYS.DOC
summarize the library routines in general and the USYS calls in
particular; SIGNAL.DOC provides more details on the KCC implementation
of signals.
03/17/87 KCC 560, LIBC 124: <2,,1> Binary KCC update
A copy of CC.EXE.560 is included which fixes a number of
annoying bugs that users encountered with KCC 557. The sources are
still those for 557, however. The library is unchanged.
03/06/87 KCC 557, LIBC 124: <2,,1> Third formal distribution snapshot
IMPORTANT: this version of KCC is incompatible with previous
versions! The way that structures are returned from functions has
changed, and the layout of "char" and "short" objects in structures has
also changed. In order to enforce this, the symbol $$CVER has been
updated, and any attempt to load .REL modules which have been produced
by incompatible versions of KCC will cause LINK to complain with an
error message similar to this:
%LNKMDS Multiply-defined global symbol $$CVER
Detected in module PRINTF from file C:LIBC.REL
Defined value = 1000001, this value = 2000001
This is easily remedied by re-compiling old modules. Fortunately, no
further incompatible changes are expected to be necessary.
Nothing has really changed from the user's viewpoint. However,
there are several new features available, and some inefficiencies
corrected. The noteworthy changes are listed below, very briefly;
as usual, CC.DOC should be consulted for more complete and informative
details.
KCC: ---------------------------------------------------------------
KCC - Bug fixes:
A multitude of minor bug fixes too trivial to mention, almost
all having to do with incorrectly optimized code. One that wasn't
trivial was that {char c, *cp = &c;} used to produce an (int *)!
KCC - Incompatible changes:
* "shorts" are now 18 bits long (halfwords), with sizeof(short) == 2.
* The mechanism for returning structure values from functions
is different. This is an internal change, invisible to the user, which
is much more efficient than the previous method.
* Structure members of type "char" and "short" are now packed
differently (more compactly). Any structure using these types will be
laid out differently in storage.
* Integer narrowing and widening is now done properly in all
situations. This may cause incorrectly written code to behave
differently.
* Implicit arithmetic conversions now follow the ANSI
value-preserving rules rather than the old K&R and H&S
unsigned-preserving rules. Ambiguous code may behave differently.
* "float" values are no longer automatically converted to "double",
except for function arguments. This conforms to the ANSI draft.
* The "signed" keyword (introduced by ANSI) has been implemented.
* "volatile" and "const" (also new from ANSI) are now reserved
words (but unimplemented).
KCC - Extension: New data types:
5 new data types have been introduced, which act like "char"
but with different byte sizes. You can now manipulate signed or
unsigned bytes of 6, 7, 8, 9, or 18 bits. This is non-portable and
intended strictly for PDP-10 machine-dependent code where efficiency
is desirable.
KCC - Efficiency improvements:
The change to the structure handling mechanism falls in this
category. Structure copies used to always take two subroutine calls
and two copies; they now use a single in-line BLT (or a series of
single-word moves, whichever is best), and are much faster than
element-by-element copying.
KCC's constant initialization code has been improved to the point
where almost all constants are now initialized at load time rather than
at run time; a similar mechanism eliminates the code that used to generate
string constant pointers. You will see a significant difference with code
that uses many string literals; both startup time and program size are
reduced.
KCC's pointer arithmetic for byte pointers is MUCH better.
Pointer comparison and subtraction formerly used subroutine calls and
many, many instructions; both now use a handful of in-line
instructions and some magic numbers.
There are no more calls to internal run-time subroutines.
All of the operations which used to require this are now compiled
in-line, including double-int and int-double conversion, pointer
operations, and structure copying.
KCC - unsigned and signed data:
KCC now fully supports "unsigned int" operations. Some code
that uses unsigned integers will now compile differently. Division in
particular needs many more instructions. Any integer type, "char" in
particular, may be declared as "signed" and will behave accordingly.
KCC - Switch changes:
-L=<str> Passes <str> in the command string to the linking loader.
-v=<fs> (Verbosity) has been expanded; see CC.DOC. -v alone prints out
everything, including the loader command string.
-l Libraries loaded with the -l switch are now loaded in /SEARCH
mode (they evidently weren't before).
KCC - Miscellaneous
-d=sym now produces a *.CYM file instead of *.SYM, to avoid
conflicts with LINK output files.
-P=ansi+kcc is now the default. The effects are minor and documented
in CC.DOC. The three new ANSI keywords of "signed", "const", and "volatile"
are recognized, although only the first has any real effect.
LIBC: ---------------------------------------------------------------
More minor bug fixes to the LIBC stdio routines.
open() now attempts to track down and expand logical device
names completely (thus performing what the monitor should be doing but
isn't). Thus, open("X:subdir/filename.ext",0) will work even if X is
a search path. Previously only the first device/directory could be tried.
This permits KCC #includes to work with C: defined as a search path.
malloc() no longer allocates pages 770-777 (non-extended) or
37770-37777 (extended), so that obsolete forms of DDT can be mapped therein.
12/07/86 KCC 537, LIBC 93: <1,,1> Informal distribution snapshot
Various additional bug fixes.
There may be some stray files and other cruft as this was made just
so that Systems Concepts could get the latest stuff; some things haven't
been checked out.
10/21/86 KCC 534
Fixed a register allocation bug which got tickled by very large
floating-point expressions.
LIBC: fixed a minor scanf bug. Fixed system/vfork/exit to work properly.
09/28/86 KCC 533, LIBC 14: <1,,1> Second formal distribution snapshot
This is called a "snapshot" to emphasize that while the sources
in this distribution should be consistent and working, the compiler and
library are still under active development to remove known quirks and
deficiencies, and have already changed.
As before, all .REL files must be recompiled; the STDIO
structures are different and there are new C runtime hooks. Most
importantly, the symbol $$CVER is now defined in every module
(currently it is <1,,1>) so as to detect any future conflicts when
loading modules that were incompatibly compiled.
Various change notes follow. For all of them, see the CC.DOC
file for more details.
KCC: ---------------------------------------------------------------
KCC - Command line
There are several new switches, and the way KCC interprets
filenames is slightly different. A file with a .REL extension is
always ignored, but is passed on to the loader. A file without any
extension is special if the -q switch is given; it is only compiled if
the .C source is more recent than the .REL binary.
New switches:
-A Specify nonstandard assembler header file (old meaning of -H)
-H Specify nonstandard path for #include <> files.
-i Loader: load program to run with extended addressing.
-L Loader: nonstandard path for library files.
-l Loader: search specified library
-o Loader: specify .EXE filename.
-P Set portability level.
-q Compile extension-less files conditionally.
KCC - General
There are no real changes in code generation. A couple of
over-optimization bugs were fixed, and a couple of other optimizations
added.
KCC now generates its own assembler header based on the target
CPU, assembler, and system; the file C-HDR.FAI no longer exists.
Two more KCC extensions were added: the `ident` quoting syntax,
and the asm() in-line code mechanism. #asm and #endasm must now appear
only within a function body.
KCC identifiers are now unique up to 31 characters, as per the
ANSI draft (external symbols are still only unique up to 6).
The runtime variable $EXADF no longer exists. The decision on
whether to run extended is now made at load time, either with the -i switch
or by loading C:LIBCKX as the first module.
LIBC: --------------------------------------------------------------
LIBC - CHAR
ispunct() was "fixed" to exclude space. CARM claims space is
included, but neither ANSI nor BSD does so. We assume this is a mistake
in CARM.
LIBC - STRING
The routines memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memset were added from ANSI.
LIBC - STORAGE
free(), malloc(), and realloc() now behave as per ANSI when given
NULL or zero as arguments.
LIBC - STDIO
The "update" mode is now supported for streams. In addition
to this, the library implements the ANSI concept of text vs binary
streams. The 'R' specification was flushed; 'b', '7', '8', '9', 'C',
and "C-" were added.
LIBC - other
system() was added.
07/26/86 KCC 512, CLIB 225: First formal distribution version.
If you already had a version of KCC on your system, you will need
to recompile any .REL modules generated by the old version, because the
new KCC uses a different STDIO package. .EXE files do not need to be
recompiled.
--------------------------- OBTAIN.DOC ----------------------------------------
HOW TO OBTAIN KCC
There are two ways to get a copy of the KCC PDP-10 C compiler: FTP and tape.
FTP:
If you are fortunate enough to be able to make an Internet
TCP/IP connection to SRI-NIC.ARPA, you can transfer the distribution
files directly. Establish a FTP connection to SRI-NIC, log in as
"anonymous" with a random password, and then retrieve the file
KCCDIST:INSTAL.DOC. This will explain the rest of what you need to
know. If you have problems, send electronic mail to
<BUG-KCC@SRI-NIC.ARPA>.
Tape:
If you do not have access to SRI-NIC via TCP/IP then the
alternative is to ask for a magnetic tape. A distribution tape
normally consists of a 9-track 1600 bpi tape with a single saveset
written by TOPS-20 DUMPER, and includes all of the sources and
documentation. A charge is necessary to cover the cost of the
materials, postage, and time. Mail your request, with a check for
US $100 payable to "SRI International", to:
Network Information Center, Room EJ291
SRI International
333 Ravenswood Avenue
Menlo Park, California 94025

*Sigh* You're right, the .MIC files were missing. I distinctly remembered
putting in a special line in the .MIC file that generates the distribution
to make sure that those .MIC files were included; however, I forgot that I
did this AFTER creating the initial distribution. Another reason I try
to avoid incremental updates... anyway, I put them there.

p.s. perhaps that address should be BUG-KCC-INCOMING just to avoid confusion,
especially if someone at UTAH decides to reply?

I'm not too happy about p++-> either, since it might tempt people to
think that ++p-> similarly increments p (it doesn't) rather than the
thing p points to. When I checked the references, I found that both
K&R and H&S v1 prohibit that sort of syntax; the left-hand side of a
-> must be a "primary" expression. However, both H&R v2 and the X3J11
DPANS document now say that it can be a "postfix" expression, which
includes p++.
I'm surprised this change wasn't flagged more explicitly; the rationale
doesn't mention it at all. But anyway, I guess I'll change KCC. I may
make it dependent on the portability level. Needless to say, anyone who
actually uses such code is probably asking for trouble when porting.

Ken,
Could you please delete me from the mailing list of INFO-KCC and
INFO-KCC-BUGS for the time being? From June 20 onwards, I will be at
Apple Computer. I will again resubscribe once I get net access (I PRESUME
it is possible, even for a non-software type like me).
In the meantime, it has been very interesting reading. Amazing what
kind of bugs creep up :-) Of course, I no longer understand most of the bug
reports even, being away from a DEC-20 for this long. (Extended addressing
barely appeared when I stopped using -20's.)
Will keep in touch...
Kok Chen

Please add me (jmr@nada.kth.se) to the list. Our CC.EXE is written by
SRA on 10 March, 1987, so if you have any back messages from around or
after that date, could you please send them to me?
> So what's the story?
Once upon a time in a small kingdom far north (you knew it would start
that way, didn't you? :-), there was a university of technology, and at
this institute there was a students' hobby computer club by the name
of Stacken (which is Swedish for ``the stack''). One day our friendly
DEC Sales Fairy asked the Stacken Computer Club if it wanted a DEC-1040
(KA10), which was to be scrapped unless the club accepted it.
Since then, Stacken's computer installation has grown larger and LARGER.
It now consists of:
Katia: The original KA10, which was running a slightly modified TOPS-10
6.03A until the cooling system broke down. There is a BBN Paging
Box standing next to it, and as soon as someone gets the time to
rewire the CPU and fix the cooling, it will run TENEX. (``tia''
is Swedish for ``ten'', so ``Katia'' is both a girl's name and
``KA10'' in Swedish :-)
Kicki: A 3 CPU KI10 running a slightly modified TOPS-10 7.02 (TCP/IP,
DECnet Phase IV, some non-standard I/O devices, and using the
KI10 D/A converter to play music and for a cuckoo clock, that
calls once an hour.) Stacken's main system. That's where mail
to STACKEN.KTH.SE and SESTAK.BITNET ends up.
Xerxes: A KS10 running MRC's slightly modified TOPS-20.
SI: Stacken's ITS system, also a KS10.
2 KL10 systems, not yet up and running due to lack of space, a problem
that will hopefully be solved before the end of the summer, and a number
of small machines.
The institute has a 2065 running TOPS-20, 2 2020's with TOPS-10, and a
number of other machines.
There's no decent C compiler for TOPS-10, so I started looking at porting
KCC. I'll let you know if I finish it.

Thanks, pretty interesting story! But do all those machines live happily
ever after??
I added jmr@nada.kth.se to INFO-KCC. If there's anyone else, or if
you'd rather do your own internal redistribution (e.g. a local
"incoming-info-kcc" list), just let me know -- send a note to
info-kcc-request@sri-nic.arpa.
10 March 1987 is quite a long ways back. Are you sure you didn't mean
1988? I'll wait for confirmation before I send you a very long
message that you might not want.
About porting KCC to TOPS-10: this is quite feasible, and has been considered
by at least three other people, but so far no one has actually started on
it. I have put in a few TOPS-10 conditionals where it was trivial to do
so, but the I/O is such a pain... well, if you are seriously planning to do
this, I suggest that you make sure you have the latest sources before you
start modifying anything. I can also send you some advice on porting
which I put together for Alan Bawden when he started working on the ITS
version (hmm, he must be almost done now, I'll have to check up on it).

about "foo->a" when foo was declared as an array of structures. New binaries
as usual in SYS:CC.EXE and SYS:CCX.EXE, source change below:

Subject: Extended addressing in kcc
To: info-kcc@SRI-NIC.ARPA
Message-ID: <12422748447.23.S.SNELSON@MACBETH.STANFORD.EDU>
An area in kcc where we would like to see some improvement is its
treatment of extended addressing. As the documentation states, kcc
can compile programs to run in extended (multi-section) memory. The
catch, however, is that all your code and variables (except auto
variables, which go on the stack) must fit in one section. For
large named arrays, structures, etc. we find this crippling. (This
problem arose in our case because we need to refer in C routines to
named COMMON blocks put in extended memory by TOPS-20 Fortran, and
there is no way to do this C as kcc stands. Comparisons are
invidious, but Fortran has options to load code and data directly
into extended memory.)
A related shortcoming that does not bother us as much is the
inability to call functions in another section. Our code fits in
one section, but code + variables does not.
Are there any other kcc users out there to whom either of these
problems is significant?

Did I look in the wrong place, did you move the compiler sources to
another directory, or is <C.KCC.CC> protected so I can't read it?

I've been trying to port some code from Unix which uses the
execlp function. Today I finally tracked down the problem.
It occurs in the FORKEX module in function revstack. Here is
the fix. The two lines marked with '|' are the ones.

/* REVSTACK - auxiliary for execl*() routines.
** Reverses an array of pointers on the stack.
** On the PDP-10 an arg list like arg1, arg2, ... 0 is stored on
** the stack such that 0 is at the lowest address, arg1 at highest.
** We need to reverse this ordering so we can treat it like a normal
** argv array (with a null pointer as the last element).
*/
static char **
revstack(av)
char **av;
{
register char **t, **b, *tmp; /* Top and bottom pointers */
register int i;
for (t = b = av; *t; --t); /* Back up to top of array (a null ptr) */
av = t; /* Remember where top is */
i = (1 + b - t) / 2; /* Find # of elements to swap in array */
for (; i > 0; --i) {
tmp = *t; /* Swap elements, and bump ptrs closer. */
| *t++ = *b;
| *b-- = tmp;
}
return av; /* Return ptr to top of reversed array */
}

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce this problem. I tried compiling that code
with version 607 and had no problems. You might wish to FTP a more recent
version (SYS:CC.EXE is now version 609), just in case your copy got
clobbered somehow. Let me know if you find any more details.

OK, I found a bug in the way wait() was coded which caused it to not work
in extended addressing, and fixed it (not yet installed, too tired).
Piping was involved only to the extent that it invoked an inferior fork
and waited for it to stop.
Unfortunately, I found a more serious bug which is much harder to fix.
There is no way I know of on TOPS-20 to suspend the current process
until any one of its inferiors terminates. WFORK% lets you either
wait for a SPECIFIC inferior, or wait for ALL inferiors to terminate,
but you can't wait for ANY inferior. Really amazing brain damage
here.
The only way out of this I can think of is to loop forever doing a GFRKS%
to examine the fork structure by hand, with a sleep period somewhere in the
loop to avoid burning too much CPU time. This not only eats more cycles,
it imposes a certain delay in recognizing that a fork has died. It would
be possible to use .ICIFT (Inferior Fork Termination PSI) but this is even
more complicated and would require (1) the overhead of PSI activation for
every C program, plus (2) special code to avoid interfering with users who
want to handle SIGCHLD signals (currently implemented, by the way).
If anyone has comments on this I'd appreciate them.

I wanted to reassure people that ANSI KCC does exist and I'm still trying
to get it into shape for distribution. Here's the story thus far:
With support from CompuServe, I spent most of the summer upgrading KCC
to both run on TOPS-10 and conform to the latest version of ANSI C
(formally still a "proposed ANS" text). The resulting implementation
has been undergoing testing and refinement on both TOPS-10 and TOPS-20
for the last couple of months. I was hoping to freeze things for a
while and start putting together a clean distribution, but just last
week CompuServe began running KCC through the Plum Hall test suite, and
sure enough this has shaken out a number of minor bugs (total thus
far looks like KCC 9, PH 1). Currently I'm waiting to see if any more
turn up before starting on the distribution.
The directory structure for the new KCC is quite different. I have
split the library routines into several subdirectories, and the
building process puts all binaries into a single directory which can
be configured for a specific machine or system. This was necessary so
I could maintain versions for several independent configurations in parallel
without duplicating the sources for each one.
So, of course, the procedures that I relied on in the past for taking
snapshots or writing tapes no longer work and I need to revise them as
well. I do, however, have a single directory that could be FTP'd if any
Internet TOPS-20 sites are dying to do beta-testing with the binaries.
Note that $$CVER has been bumped so anything used with the new KCC must
be completely recompiled.
Sometime later I'll be sending more messages describing some of the new
features, where things are, etc...

turn up before starting on the distribution.
The directory structure for the new KCC is quite different. I have
split the library routines into several subdirectories, and the
building process puts all binaries into a single directory which can
be configured for a specific machine or system. This was necessary so
I could maintain versions for several independent configurations in parallel
without duplicating the sources for each one.
So, of course, the procedures that I relied on in the past for taking
snapshots or writing tapes no longer work and I need to revise them as
well. I do, however, have a single directory that could be FTP'd if any
Internet TOPS-20 sites are dying to do beta-testing with the binaries.
Note that $$CVER has been bumped so anything used with the new KCC must
be completely recompiled.
Sometime later I'll be sending more messages describing some of the new
features, where things are, etc...

I wanted to reassure people that ANSI KCC does exist and I'm still trying
to get it into shape for distribution. Here's the story thus far:
With support from CompuServe, I spent most of the summer upgrading KCC
to both run on TOPS-10 and conform to the latest version of ANSI C
(formally still a "proposed ANS" text). The resulting implementation
has been undergoing testing and refinement on both TOPS-10 and TOPS-20
for the last couple of months. I was hoping to freeze things for a
while and start putting together a clean distribution, but just last
week CompuServe began running KCC through the Plum Hall test suite, and
sure enough this has shaken out a number of minor bugs (total thus
far looks like KCC 9, PH 1). Currently I'm waiting to see if any more
turn up before starting on the distribution.
The directory structure for the new KCC is quite different. I have
split the library routines into several subdirectories, and the
building process puts all binaries into a single directory which can
be configured for a specific machine or system. This was necessary so
I could maintain versions for several independent configurations in parallel

Note that the test was > 0; it should be < 0.
I was unable to recompile getenv.c here without inserting
#if 0 ... #endif at

> #endif /* 0 */
because our unv:monsym.unv doesn't have the .TTxxx terminal

If you have executables that use putenv(), you can DDT them
as follows:
@get foo.exe
@ddt
DDT
PUTENV+14/ SOSG 3,-14(17) sosl 3,-14(17)
^Z
@save foo.exe
This finally trounces a bug that affected my gmake
(generalized make) implementation on TOPS-20; before the
patch, it always said:
%Debug: arg_flags(): putenv("MAKEFLAGS=-n") FAILED
Actually, I'm now going to supply a private version of
getenv() and putenv(), because for gmake, putenv() has to
put things into the environment inherited by children, so it
has to be done with a logical name.

After so long, it's hard to believe -- but the ANSI version of KCC
is finally ready for network distribution! Thanks to CompuServe for
time support, SRI for hardware support, and Systems Concepts for the
final nudge.
You will need a new directory tree; you should NOT try to simply
update your existing KCC directories. It is best to start by first
FTPing these files from NIC.DDN.MIL:
KCCDIST:OBTAIN.DOC
KCCDIST:INSTAL.DOC
KCCDIST:-FTP-.MIC
For convenience, I am enclosing the new portion of KCCDIST:NEWS.TXT here:
----------------------------------
03/06/90 KCC 653, LIBC 606: <2,,3> Sixth formal distribution snapshot
General:
There are MANY changes in this version. The biggest and most
important is that KCC now supports the proposed ANSI C standard (as of
the December 7, 1988 draft), and almost all of the visible changes
stem from this. In particular, many library routines have been added
or modified, and for this reason the library version number has
been bumped to ensure that previously compiled modules cannot be
loaded without warning messages.
The other major bit of news is that KCC has been ported to
TOPS-10, including most of the library routines. The need to support
multiple configurations from the same sources led to a reorganization
of the way KCC source files are stored and used. You will definitely
need to read <KCC-6.BUILD>BUILD.DOC to learn again how to recompile KCC.
KCC+LIBC details:
Far too many changes to list here. You will have to read the new
CC.DOC and LIBC.DOC files to get an idea of what is different. You
really should get a copy of some reference that describes ANSI C (H&S 2,
K&R 2, or the draft itself); without these references, some error messages
may leave you mystified. I did not seriously attempt to retain complete
compatibility with former versions of KCC, judging that ANSI compatibility
was more important in the long run. Thus, things that previously compiled
may now fail to compile under the new ANSI regime.
Acknowledgements:
This version would never have happened without the help of
CompuServe Inc. and SRI International. The bulk of my time spent on
ANSI and TOPS-10 was supported by CSI, while SRI provided its own
local computer facilities -- many megabytes and many many CPU hours on
SRI's own DEC-2065 and SUN 3/60. In particular, thanks to:
Benny Jones (CSI everything)
Frank Kuo (SRI NISC facilities)
Steve Milunovic (SRI ISO facilities)
