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.
